#It added the NBA All-Star weekend, which had the 3 Point Contest, All-Star game, and more, but we can’t forget this one iconic part, the Dunk Contest, which is one of the biggest reasons this game, along with ''NBA 2K11'' is considered not only to be one of the greatest basketball games of all time, but one of the greatest sports games of all time. The Dunk Contest was fun, it has lots of cool moves like throwing off the screens, cartwheel dunk, 720 dunk, and many more impressive and fun dunks.
#The Dynasty mode is vastly improved into being a great franchise mode, after the ''NBA Live 2004'' version received criticism for being lackluster and not deep enough, EA Sports went to work on the dynasty mode of the next game after ''NBA Live 2004'', and it came out as a very fun, innovative, and deep experience, if you try to submit a trade proposal for a player you want, you have to wait a few days to get a response, trading for star players had much more difficulty and was pretty hard to do, for example, if you wanna trade for LeBron James, you can’t, because the Cleveland GM isn’t stupid enough to do such a thing. The free agency was improved, as players took multiple factors into consideration before signing with a team.
#The gameplay is vastly improved here, it also is realistic in the sense that the players play identical to their real life counterparts. For example, when Kobe Bryant receives the ball, he often tries to create ways to score points for his team as opposed to passing the ball to his teammates to create a shot for them, Ben Wallace often moves into the paint when his team is on defense to attempt a block or guard if a layup or dunk attempt happens, and Ray Allen has a very smooth 3-Point shot.
#*The realism was also improved as well, unlike previous entries where you can dribble past with any player even the ones with the worst ball handling, only players like Allen Iverson can do such a thing.
#The A.I was ahead of it’s time and very smart, instead of mostly just dunking and trying to shoot threes, it instead tries to pass the ball to find the open man, try to shoot off the dribble, and even take shots from mid-range.
#The NBA store was a great feature that was introduced in ''NBA Live 2004'' and it returns here, this was a feature that allowed you to buy classic jerseys, shoes, headbands, and socks.
#The My NBA Live feature, which has the aforementioned NBA store, is a decent equivalent to the crib of the ''NFL 2K'' games, it had a jukebox which allows you to pick what song is playing in the menus and which songs can or cannot play in the menus, NBA codes, and a Hall of Fame that lets you see the jerseys of the players you retired in the Dynasty mode.
#The soundtrack is amazing and instead of licensing songs, they used rappers to make basketball and NBA Live themed songs, and it worked, with songs like "My Main Aim" by MC Lyte, "Me Against You" by G-Unit, and "It’s In Da Game" by Jazze Pha. Although there were still some licensed songs like "Go!" by will.I.am.
#The attention to detail in this game was awesome, with the best dribblers at the time like Allen Iverson only having access to ankle-breaking dribble moves, the All-Star game having a higher rate of scoring, great defensive plays, and the fact in Dynasty mode, it was really hard to trade for the leagues best like LeBron James.
#The graphics were great for 2004 standards.
==Reception==
The game was well-received by fans and critics who praised its incredible gameplay and dynasty mode, and the All-Star Weekend mode. (especially the dunk contest)
However, as time went on, it started getting a reputation for being the best 6th generation basketball game and the best ''NBA Live'' game made.
==Trvia==
*Unlike most sports games, the soundtrack mostly consists of songs made exclusively for the game.

}}'''''Mickey Mouse Clubhouse''''' is an American CGI animated preschool show created by Bobs Gannaway. It lasted from 2006 to 2016.
==Plot==
Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy, and Pluto star in the series, taking place at the Clubhouse where most of the events in the series occur. The group also has a small, Mickey-head-shaped, flying super computer named Toodles that acts as an extension of the Mousekedoer and helps the gang with the given problems and carries tools that they might need. Pete, Clarabelle Cow, Ludwig Von Drake, Chip and Dale, Willie the Giant, Butch, Figaro, Humphrey the Bear, Salty the Seal, and Mortimer Mouse have made guest appearances. The series focuses on interacting with the viewer to stimulate problem solving. According to Disney, each episode has the characters help children "solve a specific age-appropriate problem utilizing basic skills, such as identifying shapes and counting through ten." This is similar to shows such as ''[[Sesame Street]]'', ''Pee-wee's Playhouse'', ''[[Dora the Explorer (seasons 1-4)|Dora the]] [[Dora the Explorer (seasons 5-8)|Explorer]]'', and Zoobilee Zoo. The series uses "Disney Junior's common 'whole child' curriculum of cognitive, social and creative learning opportunities."
== Why It's a Hot Dog, Hot Dog, Hot Diggety Dog ==
#The theme song, performed by They Might Be Giants, is super catchy.
#Very educational, as it teaches young children about shapes, colors, numbers, social skills, etc.
#It doesn't try to cash in on the latest trends and treats the audience with a very high level of respect.
#Fantastic voice acting, to the point where it seems like they are all having fun with their respective characters. Highlights include the late Wayne Allwine, Tony Anselmo, the late Russi Taylor, Bill Farmer, Tress MacNeille, Rob Paulsen and many others.
#*The show properly utilizes the talents of the late Wayne Allwine, as Allwine had recorded enough dialogue for season three before his 2009 death. The same goes with the late Russi Taylor who had recorded enough dialogue for the entire series before her 2019 death.
#Hilarious moments, mainly from Mickey Mouse and his friends.
#A great way to introduce kids to Disney.
#Some parental bonuses, such as:
#*Mortimer (who first appeared in a 1936 short called "Mickey's Rival") appears in two episodes ("Minnie's Birthday" and "Super Adventure!"). The first occurrence is simply a cameo where Mickey spots him playing a banjo under a tree, and in the second, he serves as the overarching and later main antagonist of "Super Adventure", being portrayed as a greedy and calculating kleptomaniac named Mega Mort who shrinks locations to add to his massive collection of items.
#*The clubhouse turns black and white in "Mickey's Color Adventure", a homage to olden black-and-white cartoons that Mickey originally starred in.
#*In "Donald's Hiccups", the Clubhousers/Sensational Six sing the Mickey Mouse March at the end, referencing the 1955 Mickey Mouse Club series that the show is more-or-less loosely based off of.
#*The show occasionally utilizes elements from pop culture in the form of several parodies. Examples include homages to Balto, James Bond, Matter of Britain, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Alice in Wonderland, Old MacDonald Had a Farm, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and Superman. More info can be seen below.
#*In "Road Rally", when Pete finds that the road is blocked by a massive pile of rubber ducks, he exclaims, "That's the third largest pile of rubber duckies I've ever seen!", referencing the video game Monkey Island.
#*"The Wizard of Dizz" is an hour-long homage to The Wizard of Oz.
#*"Mickey's Monster Musical" has plenty of nods to, of all things, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, being a musical about Mickey and Minnie's car breaking down next to a haunted castle with a mad scientist. The song "All You Need is Light" is a mix of "Science Fiction/Double Feature" and "There's a Light" and even the opening song is a reference to "Dammit Jannet" only with Mickey asking Minnie to go on a picnic with him instead of proposing.
#*"Minnie-rella" is a great remake of the iconic Cinderella, but with Mickey Mouse characters.
#Subverts preschool show cliches by having a three-dimensional villain in the form of Pete. In fact, he's not even a villain, he's more of an anti-hero, since he makes friends with the Sensational Six from time to time.
#While Most of the songs are just the characters rhythmically talking, which can't even be considered songs at all, Some do have some singing and Many of the Songs can be catchy.
#There are several good jokes in the series that are worth a chuckle, such as Pete's Halloween party invitation card that Mickey gets in "Mickey's Treat", which starts off cheerful, but gradually becomes more depressing in-tone as Pete laments that no one comes to his party and he's so lonely.
#Daisy Duck was massively redeemed in the show after being previously flanderized in ''Mickey Mouse Works'', ''Disney's House of Mouse'', and ''Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas'' and got her classic and original personality back from this point onwards. The same goes with the rest of the cast.
#A Goofy Fairy Tale was an amazing series finale.
#After it ended, the show paved the way for better follow-ups in ''Mickey and the Roadster Racers''/''Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures'' and ''[[Mickey Mouse Funhouse]]'', which are slight improvements over ''Mickey Mouse Clubhouse''.
#Starting in Season 2, the animation got more smoother and fluid, the jokes being better written and the characters even receive more development.
#This is the first Disney Junior (formerly Playhouse Disney) to go HD 16:9 Widescreen.
==Qualities That Aren’t A Hot Diggety Dog==
#It isn't perfectly faithful to the original ''[[Mickey Mouse (1928)|Mickey Mouse]]'', as it throws out its original premise in favor of a new one.
#*Unlike ''[[Disney's House of Mouse|House of Mouse]]'' (which had a different premise but retained the ''Mickey Mouse'' film series' comedy, writing, animation, acting, and cameos), this series only has a few of those.
#The show's plots are too similar to other franchise made in other channels before ''Mickey Mouse Clubhouse'', most notably ''Dora The Explorer'' and ''Little Einsteins'', since it featured characters looking at the camera and teaching the viewers.
#Also, like many Playhouse Disney shows in the mid-2000s through 2011, such as ''Jojo's Circus'', ''My Friends Tigger & Pooh'', and ''Little Einsteins'', Mickey Mouse and his friends' constant fourth wall breaking can get repetitive to older viewers.
#Many characters from the ''Mickey Mouse'' franchise are absent, aside from the main characters and some fan favorites like Pete and Clarabelle.
#Overly simple plots. The way they are structured can get repetitive to some viewers after a while.
#Most of the songs are just the characters rhythmically talking, which can't even be considered songs at all, except for the theme song and the Hot Dog song.
#[[Disney Channel (1983-2008, 2017-present)|Disney Channel]] went downhill shortly after the show premiered on Playhouse Disney in 2006, as it would drop all Mickey Mouse-related cartoons in favor of more teencoms and reruns of ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' until 2019.
#"Goofy Baby" uses the "innocent character gets turned into a baby" cliché which happened to Goofy, and he eventually messed himself, which is very problematic.
#*There's a scene in said episode where Goofy Baby gets his diaper changed. While this is a natural part of life, it's something that shouldn't be in the show due to the targeted audience being very young children.
#This show may have misled some people into thinking that Mickey Mouse is only for younger children, which is totally not true, especially considering he was created almost an entire century ago as of now, and has always been gaining popularity since his inception.
#Season 1's animation is a bit wonky due to DQ Entertainment in India making the model rigs, but thankfully, in between Seasons 1 and 2, the model rigs were sent to Toon City in The Philippines (who had previously done animation for Disney's House of Mouse) to be smoothed out and re-rigged to be more fluidly animated.
==Reception==
The show received mixed reviews. However, Common Sense Media gave the show 4 out of 5, stating "Fun and learning abound in this mouse's house." IMDb gave it a 5.8/10.
==Trivia==
*This is the longest running Disney show, running for 10 years straight, even beating out ''[[Wizards of Waverly Place (seasons 1-3)|Wizards of]] [[Wizards of Waverly Place (season 4)|Waverly Place]]'', ''[[Kim Possible]]'', and ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]''.
*The series was mocked in the ''Mickey Mouse'' episode "'''Eau de Minnie'''", in the scene where Minnie starts trying to find a dress to wear to give a good impression to Mickey, she finds the pink and white-spotted dress she uses in this series, only for her to say, "Too young", which is an obvious jab at the fact that ''Mickey Mouse Clubhouse'' is targeted towards toddlers and preschoolers.
*Coincidentally, the show premiered 40 years after the death of Walt Disney.

This is similar to shows such as ''[[Sesame Street]]'', ''Pee-wee's Playhouse'', ''[[Dora the Explorer (seasons 1-4)|Dora the]] [[Dora the Explorer (seasons 5-8)|Explorer]]'', and Zoobilee Zoo. The series uses "Disney Junior's common 'whole child' curriculum of cognitive, social and creative learning opportunities."
== Why It's a Hot Dog, Hot Dog, Hot Diggety Dog ==
#The theme song, performed by They Might Be Giants, is super catchy.
#Very educational, as it teaches young children about shapes, colors, numbers, social skills, etc.
#It doesn't try to cash in on the latest trends and treats the audience with a very high level of respect.
#Fantastic voice acting, to the point where it seems like they are all having fun with their respective characters. Highlights include the late Wayne Allwine, Tony Anselmo, the late Russi Taylor, Bill Farmer, Tress MacNeille, Rob Paulsen and many others.
#*The show properly utilizes the talents of the late Wayne Allwine, as Allwine had recorded enough dialogue for season three before his 2009 death. The same goes with the late Russi Taylor who had recorded enough dialogue for the entire series before her 2019 death.
#Hilarious moments, mainly from Mickey Mouse and his friends.
#A great way to introduce kids to Disney.
#Some parental bonuses, such as:
#*Mortimer (who first appeared in a 1936 short called "Mickey's Rival") appears in two episodes ("Minnie's Birthday" and "Super Adventure!"). The first occurrence is simply a cameo where Mickey spots him playing a banjo under a tree, and in the second, he serves as the overarching and later main antagonist of "Super Adventure", being portrayed as a greedy and calculating kleptomaniac named Mega Mort who shrinks locations to add to his massive collection of items.
#*The clubhouse turns black and white in "Mickey's Color Adventure", a homage to olden black-and-white cartoons that Mickey originally starred in.
#*In "Donald's Hiccups", the Clubhousers/Sensational Six sing the Mickey Mouse March at the end, referencing the 1955 Mickey Mouse Club series that the show is more-or-less loosely based off of.
#*The show occasionally utilizes elements from pop culture in the form of several parodies. Examples include homages to Balto, James Bond, Matter of Britain, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Alice in Wonderland, Old MacDonald Had a Farm, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and Superman. More info can be seen below.
#*In "Road Rally", when Pete finds that the road is blocked by a massive pile of rubber ducks, he exclaims, "That's the third largest pile of rubber duckies I've ever seen!", referencing the video game Monkey Island.
#*"The Wizard of Dizz" is an hour-long homage to The Wizard of Oz.
#*"Mickey's Monster Musical" has plenty of nods to, of all things, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, being a musical about Mickey and Minnie's car breaking down next to a haunted castle with a mad scientist. The song "All You Need is Light" is a mix of "Science Fiction/Double Feature" and "There's a Light" and even the opening song is a reference to "Dammit Jannet" only with Mickey asking Minnie to go on a picnic with him instead of proposing.
#*"Minnie-rella" is a great remake of the iconic Cinderella, but with Mickey Mouse characters.
#Subverts preschool show cliches by having a three-dimensional villain in the form of Pete. In fact, he's not even a villain, he's more of an anti-hero, since he makes friends with the Sensational Six from time to time.
#While Most of the songs are just the characters rhythmically talking, which can't even be considered songs at all, Some do have some singing and Many of the Songs can be catchy.
#There are several good jokes in the series that are worth a chuckle, such as Pete's Halloween party invitation card that Mickey gets in "Mickey's Treat", which starts off cheerful, but gradually becomes more depressing in-tone as Pete laments that no one comes to his party and he's so lonely.
#Daisy Duck was massively redeemed in the show after being previously flanderized in ''Mickey Mouse Works'', ''Disney's House of Mouse'', and ''Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas'' and got her classic and original personality back from this point onwards. The same goes with the rest of the cast.
#A Goofy Fairy Tale was an amazing series finale.
#After it ended, the show paved the way for better follow-ups in ''Mickey and the Roadster Racers''/''Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures'' and ''[[Mickey Mouse Funhouse]]'', which are slight improvements over ''Mickey Mouse Clubhouse''.
#Starting in Season 2, the animation got more smoother and fluid, the jokes being better written and the characters even receive more development.
#This is the first Disney Junior (formerly Playhouse Disney) to go HD 16:9 Widescreen.
==Qualities That Aren’t A Hot Diggety Dog==
#It isn't perfectly faithful to the original ''[[Mickey Mouse (1928)|Mickey Mouse]]'', as it throws out its original premise in favor of a new one.
#*Unlike ''[[Disney's House of Mouse|House of Mouse]]'' (which had a different premise but retained the ''Mickey Mouse'' film series' comedy, writing, animation, acting, and cameos), this series only has a few of those.
#The show's plots are too similar to other franchise made in other channels before ''Mickey Mouse Clubhouse'', most notably ''Dora The Explorer'' and ''Little Einsteins'', since it featured characters looking at the camera and teaching the viewers.
#Also, like many Playhouse Disney shows in the mid-2000s through 2011, such as ''Jojo's Circus'', ''My Friends Tigger & Pooh'', and ''Little Einsteins'', Mickey Mouse and his friends' constant fourth wall breaking can get repetitive to older viewers.
#Many characters from the ''Mickey Mouse'' franchise are absent, aside from the main characters and some fan favorites like Pete and Clarabelle.
#Overly simple plots. The way they are structured can get repetitive to some viewers after a while.
#Most of the songs are just the characters rhythmically talking, which can't even be considered songs at all, except for the theme song and the Hot Dog song.
#[[Disney Channel (1983-2008, 2017-present)|Disney Channel]] went downhill shortly after the show premiered on Playhouse Disney in 2006, as it would drop all Mickey Mouse-related cartoons in favor of more teencoms and reruns of ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' until 2019.
#"Goofy Baby" uses the "innocent character gets turned into a baby" cliché which happened to Goofy, and he eventually messed himself, which is very problematic.
#*There's a scene in said episode where Goofy Baby gets his diaper changed. While this is a natural part of life, it's something that shouldn't be in the show due to the targeted audience being very young children.
#This show may have misled some people into thinking that Mickey Mouse is only for younger children, which is totally not true, especially considering he was created almost an entire century ago as of now, and has always been gaining popularity since his inception.
#Season 1's animation is a bit wonky due to DQ Entertainment in India making the model rigs, but thankfully, in between Seasons 1 and 2, the model rigs were sent to Toon City in The Philippines (who had previously done animation for Disney's House of Mouse) to be smoothed out and re-rigged to be more fluidly animated.
==Reception==
The show received mixed reviews. However, Common Sense Media gave the show 4 out of 5, stating "Fun and learning abound in this mouse's house." IMDb gave it a 5.8/10.
==Trivia==
*This is the longest running Disney show, running for 10 years straight, even beating out ''[[Wizards of Waverly Place (seasons 1-3)|Wizards of]] [[Wizards of Waverly Place (season 4)|Waverly Place]]'', ''[[Kim Possible]]'', and ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]''.
*The series was mocked in the ''Mickey Mouse'' episode "'''Eau de Minnie'''", in the scene where Minnie starts trying to find a dress to wear to give a good impression to Mickey, she finds the pink and white-spotted dress she uses in this series, only for her to say, "Too young", which is an obvious jab at the fact that ''Mickey Mouse Clubhouse'' is targeted towards toddlers and preschoolers.
*Coincidentally, the show premiered 40 years after the death of Walt Disney.

}}'''''Mickey Mouse Clubhouse''''' is an American CGI animated preschool show created by Bobs Gannaway. It lasted from 2006 to 2016.
==Plot==
Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy, and Pluto star in the series, taking place at the Clubhouse where most of the events in the series occur. The group also has a small, Mickey-head-shaped, flying super computer named Toodles that acts as an extension of the Mousekedoer and helps the gang with the given problems and carries tools that they might need. Pete, Clarabelle Cow, Ludwig Von Drake, Chip and Dale, Willie the Giant, Butch, Figaro, Humphrey the Bear, Salty the Seal, and Mortimer Mouse have made guest appearances. The series focuses on interacting with the viewer to stimulate problem solving. According to Disney, each episode has the characters help children "solve a specific age-appropriate problem utilizing basic skills, such as identifying shapes and counting through ten." This is similar to shows such as ''[[Sesame Street]]'', ''Pee-wee's Playhouse'', ''[[Dora the Explorer (seasons 1-4)|Dora the]] [[Dora the Explorer (seasons 5-8)|Explorer]]'', and Zoobilee Zoo. The series uses "Disney Junior's common 'whole child' curriculum of cognitive, social and creative learning opportunities."

This infobox is used for shows that air on television networks.
Notes: Use the operator <nowiki><br></nowiki> or <nowiki><br/></nowiki> in source mode to add linebreaks within the table. Sections left blank will not be displayed. The title that appears at the top of the infobox will be the same as the name of the page it is on. Note that the picture field requires the extension (.jpg, .jpeg, .png) to be present, and requires that the File: or Image: part of the link ''not'' be present.

}}'''''Mickey Mouse Clubhouse''''' is an American CGI animated preschool show created by Bobs Gannaway. It lasted from 2006 to 2016.
==Plot==
Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy, and Pluto star in the series, taking place at the Clubhouse where most of the events in the series occur. The group also has a small, Mickey-head-shaped, flying super computer named Toodles that acts as an extension of the Mousekedoer and helps the gang with the given problems and carries tools that they might need. Pete, Clarabelle Cow, Ludwig Von Drake, Chip and Dale, Willie the Giant, Butch, Figaro, Humphrey the Bear, Salty the Seal, and Mortimer Mouse have made guest appearances. The series focuses on interacting with the viewer to stimulate problem solving. According to Disney, each episode has the characters help children "solve a specific age-appropriate problem utilizing basic skills, such as identifying shapes and counting through ten." This is similar to shows such as ''[[Sesame Street]]'', ''Pee-wee's Playhouse'', ''[[Dora the Explorer (seasons 1-4)|Dora the]] [[Dora the Explorer (seasons 5-8)|Explorer]]'', and Zoobilee Zoo. The series uses "Disney Junior's common 'whole child' curriculum of cognitive, social and creative learning opportunities."
== Why It's a Hot Dog, Hot Dog, Hot Diggety Dog ==
#The theme song is great, catchy and fun.
#Very educational, as it teaches young children about shapes, colors, numbers, social skills, friendshi, animals etc.
#It doesn't try to cash in on the latest trends and treats the audience with a very high level of respect.
#Fantastic voice acting, to the point where it seems like they are all having fun with their respective characters. Only a few examples include the late Wayne Allwine, Tony Anselmo, the late Russi Taylor, Bill Farmer, Tress MacNeille, Rob Paulsen and many others.
#*The show properly utilizes the talents of the late Wayne Allwine, as Allwine had recorded enough dialogue for season three before his 2009 death. The same goes with the late Russi Taylor who had recorded enough dialogue for the entire series before her 2019 death.
#Hilarious moments, mainly from Mickey Mouse and his friends.
#*Pete have his own moments too
#A great way to introduce kids to Disney.
#*A great way to introduce them to the Mickey Mouse universe, too.
#Some parental bonuses, such as:
#*Mortimer (who first appeared in a 1936 short called "Mickey's Rival") appears in two episodes ("Minnie's Birthday" and "Super Adventure!"). The first occurrence is simply a cameo where Mickey spots him playing a banjo under a tree, and in the second, he serves as the overarching and later main antagonist of "Super Adventure", being portrayed as a greedy and calculating kleptomaniac named Mega Mort who shrinks locations to add to his massive collection of items.
#*The clubhouse turns black and white in "Mickey's Color Adventure", a homage to olden black-and-white cartoons that Mickey originally starred in.
#*In "Donald's Hiccups", the Clubhousers/Sensational Six sing the Mickey Mouse March at the end, referencing the 1955 Mickey Mouse Club series that the show is more-or-less loosely based off of.
#*The show occasionally utilizes elements from pop culture in the form of several parodies. Examples include homages to Balto, James Bond, Matter of Britain, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Alice in Wonderland, Old MacDonald Had a Farm, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and Superman. More info can be seen below.
#*In "Road Rally", when Pete finds that the road is blocked by a massive pile of rubber ducks, he exclaims, "That's the third largest pile of rubber duckies I've ever seen!", referencing the video game Monkey Island.
#*"The Wizard of Dizz" is an hour-long homage to The Wizard of Oz.
#*"Mickey's Monster Musical" has plenty of nods to, of all things, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, being a musical about Mickey and Minnie's car breaking down next to a haunted castle with a mad scientist. The song "All You Need is Light" is a mix of "Science Fiction/Double Feature" and "There's a Light" and even the opening song is a reference to "Dammit Jannet" only with Mickey asking Minnie to go on a picnic with him instead of proposing.
#*"Minnie-rella" is a great remake of the iconic Cinderella, but with Mickey Mouse characters.
#Subverts preschool show cliches by having a three-dimensional villain in the form of Pete. In fact, he's not even a villain, he's more of an anti-hero/anti-villain, since he makes friends with the Sensational Six from time to time.
#While Most of the songs are just the characters rhythmically talking, which can't even be considered songs at all, some do have some singing and many of the songs can be catchy.
#There are several good jokes in the series that are worth a chuckle, such as Pete's Halloween party invitation card that Mickey gets in "Mickey's Treat", which starts off cheerful, but gradually becomes more depressing in-tone as Pete laments that no one comes to his party and he's so lonely.
#Daisy Duck was massively redeemed in the show after being previously flanderized in ''Mickey Mouse Works'', ''Disney's House of Mouse'', and ''Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas'' and got her classic and original personality back from this point onwards. The same goes with the rest of the cast.
#A Goofy Fairy Tale was an amazing series finale.
#After it ended, the show paved the way for better follow-ups in ''Mickey and the Roadster Racers''/''Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures'' and ''[[Mickey Mouse Funhouse]]'', which are slight improvements over ''Mickey Mouse Clubhouse''.
#Starting in Season 2, the animation got more smoother and fluid, the jokes being better written and the characters even receive more development.
#This is the first Disney Junior (formerly Playhouse Disney) to go HD 16:9 Widescreen.
#It's currently available in Disney+
==Qualities That Aren’t A Hot Diggety Dog==
#It isn't perfectly faithful to the original ''[[Mickey Mouse (1928)|Mickey Mouse]]'', as it throws out its original premise in favor of a new one.
#*Unlike ''[[Disney's House of Mouse|House of Mouse]]'' (which had a different premise but retained the ''Mickey Mouse'' film series' comedy, writing, animation, acting, and cameos), this series only has a few of those.
#The show's plots are too similar to other franchise made in other channels before ''Mickey Mouse Clubhouse'', most notably ''Dora The Explorer'' and ''Little Einsteins'', since it featured characters looking at the camera and teaching the viewers.
#Also, like many Playhouse Disney shows in the mid-2000s through 2011, such as ''Jojo's Circus'', ''My Friends Tigger & Pooh'', and ''Little Einsteins'', Mickey Mouse and his friends' constant fourth wall breaking can get repetitive to older viewers.
#Many characters from the ''Mickey Mouse'' franchise are absent, aside from the main characters and some fan favorites like Pete and Clarabelle.
#Overly simple plots. The way they are structured can get repetitive to some viewers after a while.
#Most of the songs are just the characters rhythmically talking, which can't even be considered songs at all, except for the theme song and the Hot Dog song.
#[[Disney Channel (1983-2008, 2017-present)|Disney Channel]] went downhill shortly after the show premiered on Playhouse Disney in 2006, as it would drop all Mickey Mouse-related cartoons in favor of more teencoms and reruns of ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' until 2019.
#"Goofy Baby" uses the "innocent character gets turned into a baby" cliché which happened to Goofy, and he eventually messed himself, which is very problematic.
#*There's a scene in said episode where Goofy Baby gets his diaper changed. While this is a natural part of life, it's something that shouldn't be in the show due to the targeted audience being very young children.
#This show may have misled some people into thinking that Mickey Mouse is only for younger children, which is totally not true, especially considering he was created almost an entire century ago as of now, and has always been gaining popularity since his inception.
#Season 1's animation is a bit wonky due to DQ Entertainment in India making the model rigs, but thankfully, in between Seasons 1 and 2, the model rigs were sent to Toon City in The Philippines (who had previously done animation for Disney's House of Mouse) to be smoothed out and re-rigged to be more fluidly animated.
==Reception==
The show received mixed reviews. However, Common Sense Media gave the show 4 out of 5, stating "Fun and learning abound in this mouse's house." IMDb gave it a 5.8/10.
==Trivia==
*This is the longest running Disney show, running for 10 years straight, even beating out ''[[Wizards of Waverly Place (seasons 1-3)|Wizards of]] [[Wizards of Waverly Place (season 4)|Waverly Place]]'', ''[[Kim Possible]]'', and ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]''.
*The series was mocked in the ''Mickey Mouse'' episode "'''Eau de Minnie'''", in the scene where Minnie starts trying to find a dress to wear to give a good impression to Mickey, she finds the pink and white-spotted dress she uses in this series, only for her to say, "Too young", which is an obvious jab at the fact that ''Mickey Mouse Clubhouse'' is targeted towards toddlers and preschoolers.
*Coincidentally, the show premiered 40 years after the death of Walt Disney.

#[[Disney Channel (1983-2008, 2017-present)|Disney Channel]] went downhill shortly after the show premiered on Playhouse Disney in 2006, as it would drop all Mickey Mouse-related cartoons in favor of more teencoms and reruns of ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' until 2019.
#"Goofy Baby" uses the "innocent character gets turned into a baby" cliché which happened to Goofy, and he eventually messed himself, which is very problematic.
#*There's a scene in said episode where Goofy Baby gets his diaper changed. While this is a natural part of life, it's something that shouldn't be in the show due to the targeted audience being very young children.
#This show may have misled some people into thinking that Mickey Mouse is only for younger children, which is totally not true, especially considering he was created almost an entire century ago as of now, and has always been gaining popularity since his inception.
#Season 1's animation is a bit wonky due to DQ Entertainment in India making the model rigs, but thankfully, in between Seasons 1 and 2, the model rigs were sent to Toon City in The Philippines (who had previously done animation for Disney's House of Mouse) to be smoothed out and re-rigged to be more fluidly animated.
==Reception==
The show received mixed reviews. However, Common Sense Media gave the show 4 out of 5, stating "Fun and learning abound in this mouse's house." IMDb gave it a 5.8/10.
==Trivia==
*This is the longest running Disney show, running for 10 years straight, even beating out ''[[Wizards of Waverly Place (seasons 1-3)|Wizards of]] [[Wizards of Waverly Place (season 4)|Waverly Place]]'', ''[[Kim Possible]]'', and ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]''.
*The series was mocked in the ''Mickey Mouse'' episode "'''Eau de Minnie'''", in the scene where Minnie starts trying to find a dress to wear to give a good impression to Mickey, she finds the pink and white-spotted dress she uses in this series, only for her to say, "Too young", which is an obvious jab at the fact that ''Mickey Mouse Clubhouse'' is targeted towards toddlers and preschoolers.
*Coincidentally, the show premiered 40 years after the death of Walt Disney.

The '''Shit Scale''' is a "video game rating system" designed by the Angry Video Game Nerd to accurately measure the "shittiness" of a game. It was created in his review of ''[[Darkwing Duck (TurboGrafx-16)|Darkwing Duck]]'' for the TurboGrafx-16 (but was informally mentioned in his ''[[CrazyBus]]'' review). He later used it again in his review of ''[[Life of Black Tiger]]'' for the PlayStation 4.

It was created in his review of ''[[Darkwing Duck (TurboGrafx-16)|Darkwing Duck]]'' for the TurboGrafx-16 (but was informally mentioned in his ''[[CrazyBus]]'' review). He later used it again in his review of ''[[Life of Black Tiger]]'' for the PlayStation 4.

Top level category for things to watch, both for users interested in cleaning up and for staff to keep a lid on.
Additional special pages to watch:
* [[Special:DoubleRedirects]]: if going on a delete/fix spree, also watch [[Special:BrokenRedirects]].
* [[Special:UncategorizedPages]]: Pages should not be left in the wild without categories.
* [[Special:WantedCategories]] Every category should have a page and be in another appropriate hub category so it can be part of this structure. Only ignore categories with autogenerated dates for blogs. That won't go away (it's how the extension works) and it doesn't make sense to keep up on every single day. They're clumped together so skip by them.
* [[Special:WantedTemplates]] This means there are broken template calls and we shouldn't see this. Make sure the call is correct, or remove if no template is needed.
* [[Special:WantedPages]] These are pages that don't exist but are being linked to. If the page should exist, create it. If the page shouldn't exist, remove the link to it.
Pages for staff specifically to watch:
* [[:Category:Candidates for deletion]]: most important thing here to keep up on.
* [[Special:UnusedCategories]]: consider if these categories are needed. Remember, if you want to delete a category, you must ensure it's gone from every page as well.
* [[Special:UnusedFiles]]: Files that have no purpose. If you're bored, wipe out ones that just don't do the wiki any good. Files take more space than anything else so spring cleaning here is good. Make sure it has no use before deleting.
* [[Special:TrackingCategories]]: A list of other categories that track weirder errors.

'''Mickey Mouse''' (originally named '''Mickey Mouse Sound Cartoons''') is an American theatrical shorts series created by the late-animator and founder of The Walt Disney Company, Walter Elias "Walt" Disney (who also voiced the titular character of the series until 1947), the series itself ran from November 18th, 1928 to April 18th, 1953, upon it's debut, the series was critically acclaimed and, until 1942, it was the most popular short subject series in cinemas until it was overtaken by ''Looney Tunes.''
The series spawned four spin-offs named ''Silly Symphonies'', ''Donald Duck'', ''Goofy,'' and ''Pluto.'' ''Silly Symphonies'' ran from August 22, 1929 to April 7, 1939, ''Donald Duck'' ran from June 9, 1934 to June 21, 1961, ''Goofy'' ran from March 17, 1939 to December 20, 1961, and ''Pluto'' ran from July 30, 1932 to September 21, 1951.
== Plot ==
The series focuses on the adventures of Mickey Mouse, a mischevious anthropomorphic mouse who, depending on the short, usually spends time with his girlfriend Minnie, his pet dog Pluto, and his two best friends Donald Duck and Goofy, with most of the episodes usually involving wacky scenarios ranging from constructing a boat (with disastrous results) to a band concert.
== Why It Can Join The Club That's Made For You And Me ==
# It's Disney animation at it's finest, with many of the shorts like ''Steamboat Willie'' actually being revolutionary for the animation industry in general.
#* In fact, it was ironically made because of an incident that happened in 1928, as Walt Disney and Charles Mintz had a contract dispute and Mintz took everything away from Walt and left him almost bankrupt at that point, especially since he had gotten big with Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, which he didn't own by the way. Thus he had to start from stratch and the rest is history.
#* Speaking of Oswald, Mickey Mouse serves as his faithful spiritual successor since Oswald's shorts had the same style as Mickey's later ones with more adult humor that the early Mickey shorts also had as well, thus making Mickey Mouse the half-brother of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit since they were from different studios but made by the same man, Walt Disney.
#** In fact, both of them were reunited in Epic Mickey, and many fans since have wanted Oswald to appear in new Mickey Mouse material, along with Max Goof and Kat Nipp.
# The titular main character of the show is a very cheerful and normally kind character, whose personality managed to help people overcome the infamous Great Depression of 1929, which happened shortly after the release of the first episode of the series, ''Steamboat Wilie''.
# These shorts have a good balance of fast pacing and meaningful narratives with simplistic premises that are easy to follow and go along with the usual 7 minute runtime of the series, as there is enough action and comedy that are used for the material to work, and the writing in these shorts is so well-executed that it's easy to see why it helped influence many animation legends such as Joseph Barbera, Chuck Jones, Tex Avery and many more alike to expand the medium of animation even further with lots of great slapstick gags and beautiful animation that it defined the Golden Age of Animation during the early 20th century at the time it was running, helping Mickey's status as the King of 2D animation.
# As mentioned in WICJTCTMFYAM#1.1, It helped Walt Disney from going bankrupt after he was fired from Universal Pictures by Charles Mintz from working on Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, which was a series he created for the company and sadly didn't own the rights to, and had his entire staff taken from him and his profits halved as a result, which could've resulted in his studio potentially shutting down. However, both Walt Disney and his fellow animator Ub Iwerks had one trick up their selves, by creating Mickey Mouse and making three shorts: Plane Crazy, Gallopin Gachuo and Steamboat Willie. While the first two bombed at the box office and failed to find a distributor, Steamboat Willie on the other hand was an instant hit and was picked up by Celebrity Pictures for distribution, thus resulted in the short becoming a massive box office success and made Mickey Mouse a household name, and made Walt Disney a celebrity himself and prevented his studio from going under, becoming innovative for implementing sound into cartoons and making the animation medium famous as a result, thus officially starting The Golden Age of Animation as a result.
#* In fact, this success was all due to how unique Mickey was from other cartoon characters at the time, since none of them had an established personality and could ever talk with sound, which Mickey had those to make up his entire character, and it helped him to become a relatable role model for children, and Walt knew that everybody didn't want a character too similar to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, his previous character, thus in later shorts, he became more friendly and kind while still having a bit of mischief in his personality, making Mickey one of the most unique cartoon characters of all time.
#* Also worth noting is that Mickey allowed Personality Animation to become more popular and helped cartoons to feel more relatable to the audience, in comparison to other cartoons like Felix the Cat and Koko the Clown, who were more focused on making quick gags for the audience to giggle to, whereas Walt Disney decided to go against that and make the characters unique from each other with emotions and motives, thus allowing cartoons to be more complex and have more of a narrative.
# There are two different versions of Mickey that are equally as likable as each other.
#* The Classic Ub Iwerks design, who is very mischevious and can be very naughty at times, but is still kind-hearted and cares about others overall.
#* The Modern Fred Moore design, who is very laid-back, and can have his funny side to him and is a very good and kind boyfriend to Minnie and loves his friends Donald and Goofy, but can be expressive and emotional at times, even getting angry when something annoys him or gets on his nerves but is still likable as always.
# Several iconic moments, such as the opening of Steamboat Willie, Mickey saying his first words in the Karnival Kid, the entirety of The Band Concert, Mickey's dance in Thru The Mirror, Minnie and Mortimer's picnic date in Mickey's Rival, Mickey becoming CGI after being thrown out of the film by Pete in Get a Horse, Mickey becoming savage in Runaway Brain and Mickey shredding tears in Mickey's Christmas Carol.
#* Speaking of the opening of Steamboat Willie, it has been used for the opening logo of Walt Disney Animation Studios due to how iconic it is, thus proving the legacy of the short is still strong today.
# Many catchy and memorable music tracks, including Minnie's Yoo Hoo, which was actually the series' theme song until the early 1930's.
# Some characters are given unique traits and character motives that make them stand out from others, and gives them a lot of charm, such as Goofy (who is extremely clumsy and silly, but very lovable at the same time), Pete (who is Mickey's rival most of the time but can occasionally be friendly with him in some shorts and TV shows), Mortimer (who is very aggorant and only cares about himself, and often steals Minnie from Mickey just to embarass him as a result, but is actually very charming and a fun character overall).
# It has very fluid hand-drawn animation which looks extremely impressive for the era.
#* There are also revolutionary uses of animation that were unique at the time, such as reflective mirror shots, usage of squash and stretch, utilising color, and many more.
# Mickey's iconic popularity status makes him, alongside other characters like Bugs Bunny and Super Mario, be among the most popular fictional characters and all three are prime examples of popular culture icons.
#* His earliest versions have even entered the public domain, allowing anybody to use them, which gives fans the opportunity to use him whenever they like, but only the Steamboat Mickey, not the modern version though.
# Various memorable characters like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Minnie Mouse, Pluto, Pete, Chip and Dale, Huey, Dewey and Louie, etc...
#* Many of these characters would even gain their own TV shows and comic books, especially with Goofy to the point where he even got his own movie in 1995, A Goofy Movie (which is considered to be an amazing film and a cult classic amongst Disney fans alike).
# It spawned several TV shows such as ''The Mickey Mouse Club'', ''Mickey Mouse Works'' and ''Disney's House of Mouse.''
#* Speaking of Mouse Works, it is often considered to be one of the best versions of Mickey Mouse to date along with the Paul Rudish version, for how faithful it is to the source material of the Walt Disney shorts.
# The show had a pretty good revival named ''[[The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse]]'' (allbeit it once shared it's name with the original series) which ran from 2013 to 2023 and even featured episodes with international themes, where Mickey is shown as an habitant of different countries like Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Monaco, China, Mexico, Russia, France, Spain, Italy and even various US cities, like New York and San Francisco.
#* It also helped Mickey Mouse to be seen more of an actual character rather than a corporate mascot that most people saw Mickey as with the release of the infamous Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, which thankfully the revival series helped to redeem, by making Mickey very relatable and funny overall.
# Multiple shorts like the ones where Mickey is accompanied by Donald and Goofy are the proof of subplots done right.
# Unlike other cartoon short series of the era of the era like ''[[Looney Tunes & Merrie Melodies (franchise)|Looney Tunes]]'' and ''[[Tom and Jerry (Hanna Barbera era)|Tom & Jerry]]'', the later Mickey Mouse shorts didn't overuse violence and inappropriate humor, instead using a more lighthearted humor that still comes off as funny in multiple occassions.
#* Whenever there are inappropriate jokes though, they're very well-handled and aren't taken seriously like most cartoons at the time, thus proving how unique these cartoons truly were for their time.
# These cartoons introduced numerous staples of most entertainment nowadays, such as Sound, Personality-Driven stories, the four fingered character trope, Love Triangle cliches and many more tropes and cliches that have been used in many pieces of entertainment (either if they are used brilliantly or poorly) today, and media wouldn't be the same without Mickey Mouse, which makes Mickey Mouse an important part of pop culture.
# Phenomenal voice acting, especially with Walt's and Wayne's portrayal as the iconic character, since both voices are amazing and have become associated with Mickey himself. Other performances include Bill Farmer's performance as Goofy and Russi Taylor's performance as Minnie, both of which have become iconic on their own.
# It popularised the iconic rubber-hose animation era of the 30s by being inventive and revolutionary, and inspired numerous animation studios and cartoonists of today and back then, due to the usage of squash and stretch in the later shorts that paved the way for many cartoons in the 40s and 50s, and helped to evolve the animation scene at the time, and helped animation to become a permanent part of pop-culture to this day.
#* In fact, the 2013 revival series by Paul Rudish actually utilises the original rubber-hose style of the old cartoons very well and show how faithful they are to the original Walt Disney shorts.
# Some shorts tend to combine elements of dark, horror, action, thriller, comedy and drama together very well and helped to give the Mickey Mouse film series it's own identity, unlike most other cartoons where they're usually more focused on comedy and mostly involve characters doing wacky things, something that Mickey Mouse spices up in a few shorts while still keeping it fresh and exciting for new audiences.
# Steamboat Willie is often considered to be one of the more iconic shorts in the series, due to how it revolutionised the film industry, and helped usher in a new era of cartoons where they were more focused on the character's personality and less on using them for quick gags for a laugh, since it was the first sound cartoon with synchronised sound and had some voice acting implemented into it, a first for 1928 film standards, and the opening is one of the most iconic film openings in cinema history, and since the short has entered the public domain, it means gives opportunities for fans to expand the shorts legacy for a new audience and help introduce them to the original Mickey Mouse, and allow for creative use of the original design of the character, thus making the short a historical landmark within film history, becoming one of the most successful cartoons of all time, and helped Mickey Mouse to become an icon of animation.
#* In fact, people have already been making parodies and fan projects based on the short itself, thus proving how Steamboat Willie transends across the generations and how it's still relevant to this day.
== Bad Qualities ==
# In the earlier shorts like ''Plane Crazy'', Mickey can actually be a bit of jerk, especially towards Minnie in the aforementioned short since he actually forced her to kiss him.
#* Donald and Pete can also be pretty unlikable at times, especially in the 2013 series in the former's case.
# Most of the later shorts actually don't have Mickey be the protagonist, with the focus being more towards Pluto, Donald and Goofy, albeit there's a reasonable explanation for this (see the Trivia section).
# Some horror-themed cartoons like ''Haunted House'' and ''The Mad Doctor'' can be scary for younger audiences, in fact, ''The Mad Doctor'', while not a bad cartoon, caused immense controversy due to it's scary tone to the point of some theaters refusing to show it and even getting temporarily banned in the United Kingdom and Nazi Germany. ''The Mad Doctor'' even entered the public domain long before the 1928 cartoons due to Disney not renewing the trademark, though ''Haunted House'' remained under trademark as it still aired on Walt Disney's anthology show around Halloween.
#*The same thing can be said with ''Pluto's Judgement Day'', which had Pluto having a horrific nightmare and being treated as a utter Butt-Monkey for chasing cats, and this time to a much disturbing degree and even becoming one of the darkest cartoons Disney has ever made.
# Some of the episodes like ''Building A Building'' slightly copy elements from ''Oswald the Lucky Rabbit's'' series (which actually makes a bit of sense because it also was produced by Disney before losing the rights to Universal Studios).
# Some characters like Mammy Two-Shoes (not to be confused with the Tom & Jerry character of the same name), Daisy Duck and Pluto's Kid Brother are pretty bland and forgettable mostly, as they rarely have a lot of personality and come off as jerks at times and can get pretty unlikable sometimes.
#* Speaking of Mammy Two-Shoes, she is a rip-off of the character of the same name from Tom & Jerry and only appeared in one short, that's it.
#* Thankfully, in Daisy's case, she's gotten more personality in other Mickey Mouse-related media such as ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'', ''Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers'', ''Mickey Mouse'' (2013), ''The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse'', ''Mickey Mouse Clubhouse'', ''Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures'', ''Mickey Mouse Funhouse'' ''Quack Pack'' and ''DuckTales'' (2017) if we ignore her flanderized versions from ''Mickey Mouse Works'', ''House of Mouse'', ''Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas'' and ''Legend of the Three Caballeros''.
# A few of the earlier shorts like Mickey's Mellerdrammer have racial stereotypes against Africans or African-Americans.
#* ''Mickey in Arabia'' featured stereotypes of Arabians.
#* Thankfully, unlike Africans or African-Americans or most cartoons of the time, it didn't feature that many stereotypes of East Asians.
# Mickey Mouse Clubhouse wasn't well-received by some Mickey Mouse fans, since it disrespected the source material of the shorts and had a repetitive episode formula of Mickey and his friends solving minor problems in a 22-minute format and the series itself was aimed at toddlers which is not a bad thing, but the show uses Fake Interactivity in a very dumb-downed way (like many preschool shows in that era) and overuses Fourth-Wall Breaking to the point where it gets annoying quickly.
#* In fact, the show got extremely popular to the point where it has overshadowed the history of the character and all of the spin-off material featuring the characters and even the film short themselves (both Walt Disney and Paul Rudish) and also Mickey Mouse Works and House of Mouse. And worse, many people have confused Mickey Mouse for being aimed at preschoolers, which isn't the case, and many people nowadays only associate Mickey Mouse with the show in general and tend to overlook most of the other material featuring the character.
#* The show is also the reason why Mickey nowadays is usually mocked by many people and always gets depicted in a negative light overall.
#* It also ran for way too long, running for 10 years from 2006 to 2016, which makes it the longest running Disney show of all time, and thankfully, Mickey and the Roadster Racers/Mickey Mouse's Mixed Up Adventures and Mickey Mouse Funhouse (to some extent) are improvements over Clubhouse and redeemed the modern version of Mickey Mouse.
#* It also disregards the legacy of the character and mocks long-time fans of the Mouse himself, thus it ended up receiving mixed reviews from critics, as IMDb gave the series a 5.8/10 and the Metacritic user score is actually rather low too.
== Trivia ==
* The Mickey Mouse franchise was/is not only popular in the United States, it also is popular in Latin America, Japan and Europe (especially in Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, France and Finland).
* Mickey Mouse himself appeared in the 1934 MGM feature-film ''Hollywood Party'' and was set to appear in the 1945 film ''Anchors Aweigh'', but he was replaced by Jerry from ''Tom & Jerry'' due to copyright issues
* One of the shorts, ''Lend a Paw'', actually won an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 1942.
* The entirety of the Mickey Mouse brand was supposed to go public domain in 1998, but Disney managed to renew his copyright, however, ''Steamboat Willie'', and therefore Mickey's incarnation in the short, entered the public domain on January 1st, 2024.
* A possible reason for why Mickey doesn't have much screen time on the later shorts is because Mickey was started to be seen as a role model for kids since the mid-1930's, while in the earlier shorts, Mickey was the subject of more crude jokes, meaning that Disney had to limit the amount of side-gags featuring Mickey in order to not teach kids to do that type of stuff, as such, other characters (most notably Donald and Pluto) were handed most of the jokes to keep Mickey's role model.
* Mickey Mouse himself was ranked at the 50th place in the Top 50 Best Animated Movie Characters list by Empire Magazine, the actual reason of his low ranking is because of his only prominent film appearance being in the critically acclaimed ''Fantasia''.
* Due to Disney's infamous current business practices, Mickey has been constantly portrayed negatively in parodic media like ''[[South Park (seasons 1-19, 21-present)|South Park]]'' and ''[[Drawn Together]]'' as an often-rude corporate symbol, in fact, many YouTubers like Antoons and [[SuperMarioLogan (2017-present)|SuperMarioLogan]] have also made evil parodies of Mickey.
** However, Mickey Mouse parodies actually have their origin with a Japanese propaganda series named "Toy Box Series" (which is partially lost), where in the third episode, Mickey (or someone that looks like him) alongside other mice invade an island, until he's defeated by the famous Japanese folklore character Momotaro.
** Multiple copycats of Mickey also exist, most notably Farfour from the infamous Palestinian children's show ''[[Tomorrow's Pioneers]].''

'''Mickey Mouse''' (originally named '''Mickey Mouse Sound Cartoons''') is an American theatrical shorts series created by the late-animator and founder of The Walt Disney Company, Walter Elias "Walt" Disney (who also voiced the titular character of the series until 1947), the series itself ran from November 18th, 1928 to April 18th, 1953, upon it's debut, the series was critically acclaimed and, until 1942, it was the most popular short subject series in cinemas until it was overtaken by ''Looney Tunes.''
The series spawned four spin-offs named ''Silly Symphonies'', ''Donald Duck'', ''Goofy,'' and ''Pluto.'' ''Silly Symphonies'' ran from August 22, 1929 to April 7, 1939, ''Donald Duck'' ran from June 9, 1934 to June 21, 1961, ''Goofy'' ran from March 17, 1939 to December 20, 1961, and ''Pluto'' ran from July 30, 1932 to September 21, 1951.
== Plot ==
The series focuses on the adventures of Mickey Mouse, a mischevious anthropomorphic mouse who, depending on the short, usually spends time with his girlfriend Minnie, his pet dog Pluto, and his two best friends Donald Duck and Goofy, with most of the episodes usually involving wacky scenarios ranging from constructing a boat (with disastrous results) to a band concert.
== Why It Can Join The Club That's Made For You And Me ==
# It's Disney animation at it's finest, with many of the shorts like ''Steamboat Willie'' actually being revolutionary for the animation industry in general.
#* In fact, it was ironically made because of an incident that happened in 1928, as Walt Disney and Charles Mintz had a contract dispute and Mintz took everything away from Walt and left him almost bankrupt at that point, especially since he had gotten big with Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, which he didn't own by the way. Thus he had to start from stratch and the rest is history.
#* Speaking of Oswald, Mickey Mouse serves as his faithful spiritual successor since Oswald's shorts had the same style as Mickey's later ones with more adult humor that the early Mickey shorts also had as well, thus making Mickey Mouse the half-brother of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit since they were from different studios but made by the same man, Walt Disney.
#** In fact, both of them were reunited in Epic Mickey, and many fans since have wanted Oswald to appear in new Mickey Mouse material, along with Max Goof and Kat Nipp.
# The titular main character of the show is a very cheerful and normally kind character, whose personality managed to help people overcome the infamous Great Depression of 1929, which happened shortly after the release of the first episode of the series, ''Steamboat Wilie''.
# These shorts have a good balance of fast pacing and meaningful narratives with simplistic premises that are easy to follow and go along with the usual 7 minute runtime of the series, as there is enough action and comedy that are used for the material to work, and the writing in these shorts is so well-executed that it's easy to see why it helped influence many animation legends such as Joseph Barbera, Chuck Jones, Tex Avery and many more alike to expand the medium of animation even further with lots of great slapstick gags and beautiful animation that it defined the Golden Age of Animation during the early 20th century at the time it was running, helping Mickey's status as the King of 2D animation.
# As mentioned in WICJTCTMFYAM#1.1, It helped Walt Disney from going bankrupt after he was fired from Universal Pictures by Charles Mintz from working on Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, which was a series he created for the company and sadly didn't own the rights to, and had his entire staff taken from him and his profits halved as a result, which could've resulted in his studio potentially shutting down. However, both Walt Disney and his fellow animator Ub Iwerks had one trick up their selves, by creating Mickey Mouse and making three shorts: Plane Crazy, Gallopin Gachuo and Steamboat Willie. While the first two bombed at the box office and failed to find a distributor, Steamboat Willie on the other hand was an instant hit and was picked up by Celebrity Pictures for distribution, thus resulted in the short becoming a massive box office success and made Mickey Mouse a household name, and made Walt Disney a celebrity himself and prevented his studio from going under, becoming innovative for implementing sound into cartoons and making the animation medium famous as a result, thus officially starting The Golden Age of Animation as a result.
#* In fact, this success was all due to how unique Mickey was from other cartoon characters at the time, since none of them had an established personality and could ever talk with sound, which Mickey had those to make up his entire character, and it helped him to become a relatable role model for children, and Walt knew that everybody didn't want a character too similar to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, his previous character, thus in later shorts, he became more friendly and kind while still having a bit of mischief in his personality, making Mickey one of the most unique cartoon characters of all time.
#* Also worth noting is that Mickey allowed Personality Animation to become more popular and helped cartoons to feel more relatable to the audience, in comparison to other cartoons like Felix the Cat and Koko the Clown, who were more focused on making quick gags for the audience to giggle to, whereas Walt Disney decided to go against that and make the characters unique from each other with emotions and motives, thus allowing cartoons to be more complex and have more of a narrative.
# There are two different versions of Mickey that are equally as likable as each other.
#* The Classic Ub Iwerks design, who is very mischevious and can be very naughty at times, but is still kind-hearted and cares about others overall.
#* The Modern Fred Moore design, who is very laid-back, and can have his funny side to him and is a very good and kind boyfriend to Minnie and loves his friends Donald and Goofy, but can be expressive and emotional at times, even getting angry when something annoys him or gets on his nerves but is still likable as always.
# Several iconic moments, such as the opening of Steamboat Willie, Mickey saying his first words in the Karnival Kid, the entirety of The Band Concert, Mickey's dance in Thru The Mirror, Minnie and Mortimer's picnic date in Mickey's Rival, Mickey becoming CGI after being thrown out of the film by Pete in Get a Horse, Mickey becoming savage in Runaway Brain and Mickey shredding tears in Mickey's Christmas Carol.
#* Speaking of the opening of Steamboat Willie, it has been used for the opening logo of Walt Disney Animation Studios due to how iconic it is, thus proving the legacy of the short is still strong today.
# Many catchy and memorable music tracks, including Minnie's Yoo Hoo, which was actually the series' theme song until the early 1930's.
# Some characters are given unique traits and character motives that make them stand out from others, and gives them a lot of charm, such as Goofy (who is extremely clumsy and silly, but very lovable at the same time), Pete (who is Mickey's rival most of the time but can occasionally be friendly with him in some shorts and TV shows), Mortimer (who is very aggorant and only cares about himself, and often steals Minnie from Mickey just to embarass him as a result, but is actually very charming and a fun character overall).
# It has very fluid hand-drawn animation which looks extremely impressive for the era.
#* There are also revolutionary uses of animation that were unique at the time, such as reflective mirror shots, usage of squash and stretch, utilising color, and many more.
# Mickey's iconic popularity status makes him, alongside other characters like Bugs Bunny and Super Mario, be among the most popular fictional characters and all three are prime examples of popular culture icons.
#* His earliest versions have even entered the public domain, allowing anybody to use them, which gives fans the opportunity to use him whenever they like, but only the Steamboat Mickey, not the modern version though.
# Various memorable characters like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Minnie Mouse, Pluto, Pete, Chip and Dale, Huey, Dewey and Louie, etc...
#* Many of these characters would even gain their own TV shows and comic books, especially with Goofy to the point where he even got his own movie in 1995, A Goofy Movie (which is considered to be an amazing film and a cult classic amongst Disney fans alike).
# It spawned several TV shows such as ''The Mickey Mouse Club'', ''Mickey Mouse Works'' and ''Disney's House of Mouse.''
#* Speaking of Mouse Works, it is often considered to be one of the best versions of Mickey Mouse to date along with the Paul Rudish version, for how faithful it is to the source material of the Walt Disney shorts.
# The show had a pretty good revival named ''[[The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse]]'' (allbeit it once shared it's name with the original series) which ran from 2013 to 2023 and even featured episodes with international themes, where Mickey is shown as an habitant of different countries like Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Monaco, China, Mexico, Russia, France, Spain, Italy and even various US cities, like New York and San Francisco.
#* It also helped Mickey Mouse to be seen more of an actual character rather than a corporate mascot that most people saw Mickey as with the release of the infamous Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, which thankfully the revival series helped to redeem, by making Mickey very relatable and funny overall.
# Multiple shorts like the ones where Mickey is accompanied by Donald and Goofy are the proof of subplots done right.
# Unlike other cartoon short series of the era of the era like ''[[Looney Tunes & Merrie Melodies (franchise)|Looney Tunes]]'' and ''[[Tom and Jerry (Hanna Barbera era)|Tom & Jerry]]'', the later Mickey Mouse shorts didn't overuse violence and inappropriate humor, instead using a more lighthearted humor that still comes off as funny in multiple occassions.

'''Mickey Mouse''' (originally named '''Mickey Mouse Sound Cartoons''') is an American theatrical shorts series created by the late-animator and founder of The Walt Disney Company, Walter Elias "Walt" Disney (who also voiced the titular character of the series until 1947), the series itself ran from November 18th, 1928 to April 18th, 1953, upon it's debut, the series was critically acclaimed and, until 1942, it was the most popular short subject series in cinemas until it was overtaken by ''Looney Tunes.''
The series spawned four spin-offs named ''Silly Symphonies'', ''Donald Duck'', ''Goofy,'' and ''Pluto.'' ''Silly Symphonies'' ran from August 22, 1929 to April 7, 1939, ''Donald Duck'' ran from June 9, 1934 to June 21, 1961, ''Goofy'' ran from March 17, 1939 to December 20, 1961, and ''Pluto'' ran from July 30, 1932 to September 21, 1951.
== Plot ==
The series focuses on the adventures of Mickey Mouse, a mischevious anthropomorphic mouse who, depending on the short, usually spends time with his girlfriend Minnie, his pet dog Pluto, and his two best friends Donald Duck and Goofy, with most of the episodes usually involving wacky scenarios ranging from constructing a boat (with disastrous results) to a band concert.
== Why It Can Join The Club That's Made For You And Me ==
# It's Disney animation at it's finest, with many of the shorts like ''Steamboat Willie'' actually being revolutionary for the animation industry in general.
#* In fact, it was ironically made because of an incident that happened in 1928, as Walt Disney and Charles Mintz had a contract dispute and Mintz took everything away from Walt and left him almost bankrupt at that point, especially since he had gotten big with Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, which he didn't own by the way. Thus he had to start from stratch and the rest is history.
#* Speaking of Oswald, Mickey Mouse serves as his faithful spiritual successor since Oswald's shorts had the same style as Mickey's later ones with more adult humor that the early Mickey shorts also had as well, thus making Mickey Mouse the half-brother of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit since they were from different studios but made by the same man, Walt Disney.
#** In fact, both of them were reunited in Epic Mickey, and many fans since have wanted Oswald to appear in new Mickey Mouse material, along with Max Goof and Kat Nipp.
# The titular main character of the show is a very cheerful and normally kind character, whose personality managed to help people overcome the infamous Great Depression of 1929, which happened shortly after the release of the first episode of the series, ''Steamboat Wilie''.
# These shorts have a good balance of fast pacing and meaningful narratives with simplistic premises that are easy to follow and go along with the usual 7 minute runtime of the series, as there is enough action and comedy that are used for the material to work, and the writing in these shorts is so well-executed that it's easy to see why it helped influence many animation legends such as Joseph Barbera, Chuck Jones, Tex Avery and many more alike to expand the medium of animation even further with lots of great slapstick gags and beautiful animation that it defined the Golden Age of Animation during the early 20th century at the time it was running, helping Mickey's status as the King of 2D animation.
# As mentioned in WICJTCTMFYAM#1.1, It helped Walt Disney from going bankrupt after he was fired from Universal Pictures by Charles Mintz from working on Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, which was a series he created for the company and sadly didn't own the rights to, and had his entire staff taken from him and his profits halved as a result, which could've resulted in his studio potentially shutting down. However, both Walt Disney and his fellow animator Ub Iwerks had one trick up their selves, by creating Mickey Mouse and making three shorts: Plane Crazy, Gallopin Gachuo and Steamboat Willie. While the first two bombed at the box office and failed to find a distributor, Steamboat Willie on the other hand was an instant hit and was picked up by Celebrity Pictures for distribution, thus resulted in the short becoming a massive box office success and made Mickey Mouse a household name, and made Walt Disney a celebrity himself and prevented his studio from going under, becoming innovative for implementing sound into cartoons and making the animation medium famous as a result, thus officially starting The Golden Age of Animation as a result.
#* In fact, this success was all due to how unique Mickey was from other cartoon characters at the time, since none of them had an established personality and could ever talk with sound, which Mickey had those to make up his entire character, and it helped him to become a relatable role model for children, and Walt knew that everybody didn't want a character too similar to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, his previous character, thus in later shorts, he became more friendly and kind while still having a bit of mischief in his personality, making Mickey one of the most unique cartoon characters of all time.
#* Also worth noting is that Mickey allowed Personality Animation to become more popular and helped cartoons to feel more relatable to the audience, in comparison to other cartoons like Felix the Cat and Koko the Clown, who were more focused on making quick gags for the audience to giggle to, whereas Walt Disney decided to go against that and make the characters unique from each other with emotions and motives, thus allowing cartoons to be more complex and have more of a narrative.
# There are two different versions of Mickey that are equally as likable as each other.
#* The Classic Ub Iwerks design, who is very mischevious and can be very naughty at times, but is still kind-hearted and cares about others overall.
#* The Modern Fred Moore design, who is very laid-back, and can have his funny side to him and is a very good and kind boyfriend to Minnie and loves his friends Donald and Goofy, but can be expressive and emotional at times, even getting angry when something annoys him or gets on his nerves but is still likable as always.
# Several iconic moments, such as the opening of Steamboat Willie, Mickey saying his first words in the Karnival Kid, the entirety of The Band Concert, Mickey's dance in Thru The Mirror, Minnie and Mortimer's picnic date in Mickey's Rival, Mickey becoming CGI after being thrown out of the film by Pete in Get a Horse, Mickey becoming savage in Runaway Brain and Mickey shredding tears in Mickey's Christmas Carol.
#* Speaking of the opening of Steamboat Willie, it has been used for the opening logo of Walt Disney Animation Studios due to how iconic it is, thus proving the legacy of the short is still strong today.
# Many catchy and memorable music tracks, including Minnie's Yoo Hoo, which was actually the series' theme song until the early 1930's.
# Some characters are given unique traits and character motives that make them stand out from others, and gives them a lot of charm, such as Goofy (who is extremely clumsy and silly, but very lovable at the same time), Pete (who is Mickey's rival most of the time but can occasionally be friendly with him in some shorts and TV shows), Mortimer (who is very aggorant and only cares about himself, and often steals Minnie from Mickey just to embarass him as a result, but is actually very charming and a fun character overall).
# It has very fluid hand-drawn animation which looks extremely impressive for the era.
#* There are also revolutionary uses of animation that were unique at the time, such as reflective mirror shots, usage of squash and stretch, utilising color, and many more.
# Mickey's iconic popularity status makes him, alongside other characters like Bugs Bunny and Super Mario, be among the most popular fictional characters and all three are prime examples of popular culture icons.
#* His earliest versions have even entered the public domain, allowing anybody to use them, which gives fans the opportunity to use him whenever they like, but only the Steamboat Mickey, not the modern version though.
# Various memorable characters like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Minnie Mouse, Pluto, Pete, Chip and Dale, Huey, Dewey and Louie, etc...
#* Many of these characters would even gain their own TV shows and comic books, especially with Goofy to the point where he even got his own movie in 1995, A Goofy Movie (which is considered to be an amazing film and a cult classic amongst Disney fans alike).
# It spawned several TV shows such as ''The Mickey Mouse Club'', ''Mickey Mouse Works'' and ''Disney's House of Mouse.''
#* Speaking of Mouse Works, it is often considered to be one of the best versions of Mickey Mouse to date along with the Paul Rudish version, for how faithful it is to the source material of the Walt Disney shorts.
# The show had a pretty good revival named ''[[The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse]]'' (allbeit it once shared it's name with the original series) which ran from 2013 to 2023 and even featured episodes with international themes, where Mickey is shown as an habitant of different countries like Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Monaco, China, Mexico, Russia, France, Spain, Italy and even various US cities, like New York and San Francisco.
#* It also helped Mickey Mouse to be seen more of an actual character rather than a corporate mascot that most people saw Mickey as with the release of the infamous Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, which thankfully the revival series helped to redeem, by making Mickey very relatable and funny overall.
# Multiple shorts like the ones where Mickey is accompanied by Donald and Goofy are the proof of subplots done right.
# Unlike other cartoon short series of the era of the era like ''[[Looney Tunes & Merrie Melodies (franchise)|Looney Tunes]]'' and ''[[Tom and Jerry (Hanna Barbera era)|Tom & Jerry]]'', the later Mickey Mouse shorts didn't overuse violence and inappropriate humor, instead using a more lighthearted humor that still comes off as funny in multiple occassions.
#* Whenever there are inappropriate jokes though, they're very well-handled and aren't taken seriously like most cartoons at the time, thus proving how unique these cartoons truly were for their time.
# These cartoons introduced numerous staples of most entertainment nowadays, such as Sound, Personality-Driven stories, the four fingered character trope, Love Triangle cliches and many more tropes and cliches that have been used in many pieces of entertainment (either if they are used brilliantly or poorly) today, and media wouldn't be the same without Mickey Mouse, which makes Mickey Mouse an important part of pop culture.
# Phenomenal voice acting, especially with Walt's and Wayne's portrayal as the iconic character, since both voices are amazing and have become associated with Mickey himself. Other performances include Bill Farmer's performance as Goofy and Russi Taylor's performance as Minnie, both of which have become iconic on their own.
# It popularised the iconic rubber-hose animation era of the 30s by being inventive and revolutionary, and inspired numerous animation studios and cartoonists of today and back then, due to the usage of squash and stretch in the later shorts that paved the way for many cartoons in the 40s and 50s, and helped to evolve the animation scene at the time, and helped animation to become a permanent part of pop-culture to this day.
#* In fact, the 2013 revival series by Paul Rudish actually utilises the original rubber-hose style of the old cartoons very well and show how faithful they are to the original Walt Disney shorts.
# Some shorts tend to combine elements of dark, horror, action, thriller, comedy and drama together very well and helped to give the Mickey Mouse film series it's own identity, unlike most other cartoons where they're usually more focused on comedy and mostly involve characters doing wacky things, something that Mickey Mouse spices up in a few shorts while still keeping it fresh and exciting for new audiences.
# Steamboat Willie is often considered to be one of the more iconic shorts in the series, due to how it revolutionised the film industry, and helped usher in a new era of cartoons where they were more focused on the character's personality and less on using them for quick gags for a laugh, since it was the first sound cartoon with synchronised sound and had some voice acting implemented into it, a first for 1928 film standards, and the opening is one of the most iconic film openings in cinema history, and since the short has entered the public domain, it means gives opportunities for fans to expand the shorts legacy for a new audience and help introduce them to the original Mickey Mouse, and allow for creative use of the original design of the character, thus making the short a historical landmark within film history, becoming one of the most successful cartoons of all time, and helped Mickey Mouse to become an icon of animation.
#* In fact, people have already been making parodies and fan projects based on the short itself, thus proving how Steamboat Willie transends across the generations and how it's still relevant to this day.
== Bad Qualities ==
# In the earlier shorts like ''Plane Crazy'', Mickey can actually be a bit of jerk, especially towards Minnie in the aforementioned short since he actually forced her to kiss him.
#* Donald and Pete can also be pretty unlikable at times, especially in the 2013 series in the former's case.
# Most of the later shorts actually don't have Mickey be the protagonist, with the focus being more towards Pluto, Donald and Goofy, albeit there's a reasonable explanation for this (see the Trivia section).
# Some horror-themed cartoons like ''Haunted House'' and ''The Mad Doctor'' can be scary for younger audiences, in fact, ''The Mad Doctor'', while not a bad cartoon, caused immense controversy due to it's scary tone to the point of some theaters refusing to show it and even getting temporarily banned in the United Kingdom and Nazi Germany. ''The Mad Doctor'' even entered the public domain long before the 1928 cartoons due to Disney not renewing the trademark, though ''Haunted House'' remained under trademark as it still aired on Walt Disney's anthology show around Halloween.
#*The same thing can be said with ''Pluto's Judgement Day'', which had Pluto having a horrific nightmare and being treated as a utter Butt-Monkey for chasing cats, and this time to a much disturbing degree and even becoming one of the darkest cartoons Disney has ever made.
# Some of the episodes like ''Building A Building'' slightly copy elements from ''Oswald the Lucky Rabbit's'' series (which actually makes a bit of sense because it also was produced by Disney before losing the rights to Universal Studios).
# Some characters like Mammy Two-Shoes (not to be confused with the Tom & Jerry character of the same name), Daisy Duck and Pluto's Kid Brother are pretty bland and forgettable mostly, as they rarely have a lot of personality and come off as jerks at times and can get pretty unlikable sometimes.
#* Speaking of Mammy Two-Shoes, she is a rip-off of the character of the same name from Tom & Jerry and only appeared in one short, that's it.
#* Thankfully, in Daisy's case, she's gotten more personality in other Mickey Mouse-related media such as ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'', ''Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers'', ''Mickey Mouse'' (2013), ''The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse'', ''Mickey Mouse Clubhouse'', ''Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures'', ''Mickey Mouse Funhouse'' ''Quack Pack'' and ''DuckTales'' (2017) if we ignore her flanderized versions from ''Mickey Mouse Works'', ''House of Mouse'', ''Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas'' and ''Legend of the Three Caballeros''.
# A few of the earlier shorts like Mickey's Mellerdrammer have racial stereotypes against Africans or African-Americans.
#* ''Mickey in Arabia'' featured stereotypes of Arabians.
#* Thankfully, unlike Africans or African-Americans or most cartoons of the time, it didn't feature that many stereotypes of East Asians.
# Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, while a good TV show, wasn't well-received by some Mickey Mouse fans, since it disrespected the source material of the shorts and had a repetitive episode formula of Mickey and his friends solving minor problems in a 22-minute format and the series itself was aimed at toddlers which is not a bad thing, but the show uses Fake Interactivity in a very dumb-downed way (like many preschool shows in that era) and overuses Fourth-Wall Breaking to the point where it gets annoying easily & quickly.
#* In fact, the show got extremely popular to the point where it has overshadowed the history of the character and all of the spin-off material featuring the characters and even the film short themselves (both Walt Disney and Paul Rudish) and also Mickey Mouse Works and House of Mouse. And worse, many people have confused Mickey Mouse for being aimed at preschoolers, which clearly isn't the case, and many people nowadays only associate Mickey Mouse with the show in general and tend to overlook most of the other material featuring the character.
#* The show is also the reason why Mickey nowadays is usually mocked by many people and always gets depicted in a negative light overall.
#* It also ran for way too long, running for 10 years from 2006 to 2016, which makes it the longest running Disney show of all time, and thankfully, Mickey and the Roadster Racers/Mickey Mouse's Mixed Up Adventures and Mickey Mouse Funhouse (to some extent) are improvements over Clubhouse and redeemed the modern version of Mickey Mouse.
== Trivia ==
* The Mickey Mouse franchise was/is not only popular in the United States, it also is popular in Latin America, Japan and Europe (especially in Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, France and Finland).
* Mickey Mouse himself appeared in the 1934 MGM feature-film ''Hollywood Party'' and was set to appear in the 1945 film ''Anchors Aweigh'', but he was replaced by Jerry from ''Tom & Jerry'' due to copyright issues
* One of the shorts, ''Lend a Paw'', actually won an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 1942.
* The entirety of the Mickey Mouse brand was supposed to go public domain in 1998, but Disney managed to renew his copyright, however, ''Steamboat Willie'', and therefore Mickey's incarnation in the short, entered the public domain on January 1st, 2024.
* A possible reason for why Mickey doesn't have much screen time on the later shorts is because Mickey was started to be seen as a role model for kids since the mid-1930's, while in the earlier shorts, Mickey was the subject of more crude jokes, meaning that Disney had to limit the amount of side-gags featuring Mickey in order to not teach kids to do that type of stuff, as such, other characters (most notably Donald and Pluto) were handed most of the jokes to keep Mickey's role model.
* Mickey Mouse himself was ranked at the 50th place in the Top 50 Best Animated Movie Characters list by Empire Magazine, the actual reason of his low ranking is because of his only prominent film appearance being in the critically acclaimed ''Fantasia''.
* Due to Disney's infamous current business practices, Mickey has been constantly portrayed negatively in parodic media like ''[[South Park (seasons 1-19, 21-present)|South Park]]'' and ''[[Drawn Together]]'' as an often-rude corporate symbol, in fact, many YouTubers like Antoons and [[SuperMarioLogan (2017-present)|SuperMarioLogan]] have also made evil parodies of Mickey.
** However, Mickey Mouse parodies actually have their origin with a Japanese propaganda series named "Toy Box Series" (which is partially lost), where in the third episode, Mickey (or someone that looks like him) alongside other mice invade an island, until he's defeated by the famous Japanese folklore character Momotaro.
** Multiple copycats of Mickey also exist, most notably Farfour from the infamous Palestinian children's show ''[[Tomorrow's Pioneers]].''

<center><big><font style="color:yellow">HERE ARE THE RULES!!!</font></big></center>
== Main Rules ==
# The Vandalism isn't allowed here, anyone who does that will be immediately banned.
# Please be respectful towards innocent people, any insulting/threading or falsely accuing them will result a block depending on the weight of that action.
# The spam (constantly sending the same message to the same place) isn't allowed here & will result the same as vandalism.
# NSFW is completely forbidden here, the wiki is also for people who are under 18 even if the owner isn't under that age.
# Only english is allowed on main pages, the exceptions are the user talk pages, comments on user pages and subpages (like blogs).
# Don't ask to block/demote someone for no reason, if you're not contributing here positively, for the first time you can expect a 3 months block, for the second time a pernament ban.
# Don't commit any crimes like discrimination, doxxing or pedophilia/zoophilia, you'll be immediately banned and reported to the SkyWiki staff if you do that.
=== Pages ===
# This wiki, unlike other wikis like that, doesn't focus mostly on media receptions, it is just for fun and users rather should write the pages like they want.
# The page should have at least few pointers and are understandable and at least few categories.
# No NSFW, offensive nor vulgar content here, the page like that will be immediately moved to the sandbox or in worse case deleted and even might result a block/ban.
=== The Admins ===
# To not delete the pages just because they're "poorly-written" or "unfinished", if you have a problem with them, just move them to the user's sandbox.
#* The user sandboxes should be deleted only when they have a offensive or NSFW content.
# If user contributes here positively, don't block him indefinitely for trivial reasons, if you need that, just give to him a warning and as many temporary blocks as it is required unless he did something really serious.
== Punishments ==
If you break one of these rules (if the action is not serious enough for pernament ban):
#Warning
#1 week block
#2 weeks block
#1 month block
#3 months block
#6 months block
#1 year block
#Pernament ban
== Discord ==
Discord will be available soon.

{{Quote|The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games.|Bobby Kotick, 2009}}
'''[[wikipedia:Activision Blizzard|Activision Blizzard, Inc.]]''' is an American video game holding company based in Santa Monica, California. The company was founded in July 2008 through the merger of Activision, Inc. (the publicly traded parent company of Activision Publishing) and Vivendi Games (the parent company of Blizzard Entertainment).
In 2008, Activision merged with Vivendi Games, transforming the company into '''Activision Blizzard'''. On July 25, 2013, Activision Blizzard announced they had purchased 429 million shares from parent company Vivendi, which was valued at $2.34 billion and also making them an independent company. Activision-Blizzard's titles have broken many release records. As of March 2018, it is the largest game company in the Americas and Europe and the fourth largest in the world (after [[Tencent]], Sony, and NetEase) in terms of revenue and market capitalization.
On January 18, 2022, Microsoft announced that it would acquire Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion.
== Main subsidiaries ==
=== Activision ===
'''Activision Publishing, Inc.''' is an American video game publisher founded on October 1, 1979, by former Atari employees and was the world's first independent distributor and developer of video games for consoles. Its first products were Atari 2600 cartridges published in July 1980 in the U.S. and August 1981 internationally.
Activision barely survived the video game crash of 1983 by selling cartridges at $5 instead of $40. By 1986, all the company's founders had left Activision. Larry Kaplan joined Amiga, Alan Miller and Jim Whitehead founded Accolade, and David Crane founded Absolute Entertainment. Former employees Greg Fischbach, Jim Scoroposki, and Robert Holmes founded Acclaim Entertainment.
In 1988, Activision began developing software besides video games and changed its corporate name to Mediagenic. The company's four divisions were Activision, Infocom (interactive fiction games), Gamestar (for sports video games), and Ten Point O (for business applications). Infocom closed in 1989, and only five of its employees stayed aboard.
In 1983, University of Michigan students Bobby Kotick and Howard Marks founded a software company called Arktronics, which developed software for the Apple II. During his sophomore year, Kotick met and pitched Steve Wynn to invest in Arktronics. Wynn later invested $300,000 in the company. Steve Jobs met with Kotick and Marks in Ann Arbor and advised them to drop out of college to focus on the software business.
In 1987, Kotick tried to acquire Commodore International. He planned to remove the keyboard and disk drive from the Amiga 500 and turn it into a video game system. He was unsuccessful in persuading Commodore's Chairman Irving Gould to sell control of the company. From June to December 1990, Kotick served as the CEO of Leisure Concepts, which was renamed 4Kids Entertainment in 1995.
In 1990, Bobby Kotick and Brian Kelly bought a 25% stake in Activision, then known as Mediagenic. They changed the name back to Activision, performed a full restructuring of the company, and refocused the company on video games. Kotick became CEO of Activision in February 1991, a position that he holds to this day, while Kelly is still chairman.
=== Blizzard Entertainment ===
'''Blizzard Entertainment, Inc.''' is an American video game developer and publisher based in Irvine, California. The company was founded in February 1991, under the name '''Silicon & Synapse, Inc.''' by three graduates of the University of California, Los Angeles: Michael Morhaime, Frank Pearce, and Allen Adham.
The company originally concentrated primarily on the creation of game ports for other studios before beginning the development of their software in 1993 with the development of games like ''Rock n' Roll Racing'' and ''The Lost Vikings''. In 1994 the company became '''Chaos Studios, Inc.''', then '''Blizzard Entertainment''' after being acquired by Davidson & Associates in 1994.
Davidson was acquired by CUC International in 1996. After a few other sales, including Cendant and Havas, Vivendi merged its video game division with Activision in 2008.
== Why They're a Blizzard of Greed ==
=== Activision (2013-present) ===
'''NOTE: While they were tolerable in the 2000s, some flaws will still be mentioned.'''
# Ever since 2013 they have been starting to [[Franchise milking (gaming)|milk]] the ''Call of Duty'' franchise, this became even more noticeable since "Ghosts" release, leaving other franchises such as ''Guitar Hero'', ''Tony Hawk'' (except for a few games), ''True Crime'', etc being completely ignored.
# Many of their licensed games are tie-in games that range from mediocre to terrible. ''Battleship'', ''[[Ghostbusters (2016 video game)|Ghostbusters]] (2016)'', ''SCORE International Baja 1000'', and ''[[SpongeBob HeroPants]]'' are good examples of this, due to the lack of quality of the gameplay.
# After the release of ''Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2'', Jason West and Vince Zampella became tired of Activision's constant demands for Infinity Ward to work only on new ''Call of Duty'' games instead of making new intellectual properties or side-games. In response, Activision fired them, which led several Infinity Ward members to leave the studio out of pure disgust.
# They have also shut down many of their studios ([[Sierra Entertainment]], Neversoft, Budcat Creations, Luxoflux, and Bizarre Creations), and forced the few survivors to develop ''Call of Duty''.
# Many of their famous franchises such as ''Call of Duty'', ''Tony Hawk's'', and until recently, ''Guitar Hero'', suffered from diminishing returns after several stellar games due to franchise fatigue.
# They canceled ''True Crime: Hong Kong'' after being in development hell for too long. Thankfully, however, it was then picked up by Square Enix and rebranded as ''Sleeping Dogs''.
# They killed the Soldier of Fortune series with their worst game in the series being [[Soldier of Fortune: Payback]].
# They have no problem with [[Rushing game development|rushing a game]] to cash in on fans, such as ''[[Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5]]'' (although that game was slapped together in months because Activision was set to lose the rights to the Tony Hawk license).
# They don’t credit voice acting for non-English languages in their games.
# They have made/published badly optimized ports of their most beloved games to make a quick buck, such as ''Prototype: Biohazard Bundle'' and the disastrous 2016 PC version of ''Marvel: Ultimate Alliance'', which has later been fixed because of Marvel stepping in.
# It was recently discovered that Activision developed an algorithm specifically designed to exploit players who don't buy microtransactions by rigging online matches so those players constantly play against players that do buy microtransactions, giving them an unfair disadvantage. That way, those players will constantly lose and if they submit to microtransactions (likely loot boxes), they will be placed in matches for which the item they had purchased with the microtransactions is effective so they will want to make future purchases, essentially making multiplayer pay-to-win. They then '''''filed a patent for it.'''''<ref>https://patents.google.com/patent/US20160005270A1/en</ref>
# They locked content that was already in ''Destiny 2''<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/7hyv6y/destiny_2_forces_you_to_buy_the_dlc_or_they_will/</ref> and ''Advanced Warfare'' at launch, requiring players to buy DLC that was released after the two games released, so you needed to pay extra money to access the content you could already play. Thankfully, they got caught doing this and were forced to restore the original limit, restoring the ability to play some of the contents in each game that was locked beyond the DLC.
# Their licensing deals tend to be drawn up in such a way that they lose all rights to sell the licensed games they published if the deal ends (rather than, say, negotiating a royalty deal on later sales). This means that following the termination of the deals, all such games are pulled down from online storefronts immediately. This has happened to games featuring the ''James Bond'', ''Transformers'', and Marvel IPs already.
#* As a result, physical copies of these discontinued licensed games published by them can be very expensive nowadays, ''especially'' their Marvel and ''Transformers'' games.
#* This also prevented many games that were originally released by Vivendi Games/[[Sierra Entertainment]] from being rereleased, as those licenses have long expired (like ''[[Scarface: The World Is Yours]]'') or whose gaming rights are now from other companies (''[[The Simpsons: Hit & Run]]'').
#* Like [[THQ]], some of their tie-in games are completely different games on PC, meaning they're not straight ports of the console versions. The most infamous being [[Spider-Man 2: The Game (PC)|the PC version of ''Spider-Man 2'']]. This means that PC gamers have to rely on emulators like PCSX2 or Dolphin Emulator (which requires high system requirements) to play the console versions of the games.
# They canceled some ''Crash Bandicoot'' games for unknown reasons, such as a reboot for the series ''Crash Landed'' which would be launched alongside a brand new ''[[Crash Team Racing]]'' title, the last one was eventually reworked as ''[[DreamWorks Super Star Kartz]]''. It is presumed that by then Activision Blizzard and Vivendi were in the negotiation process for their release, so the IPs had to be on standby until 2016.
# They also care little about innovation and simply want to cash in on the current trend. ''Call of Duty: Black Ops 4'' is a good example: it contains a battle royale mode like that of ''PUBG'', a team battle mode like ''[[Overwatch]]'', a '''''watered down''''' zombie mode, and '''''no single-player campaign''''' (apparently, Treyarch was developing an extensive campaign mode, but due to the steep deadlines, Activision decided that Treyarch couldn't finish that campaign in time and lead them to shut it down in favor of the battle royale mode).
# Just like [[Nintendo (2015-2017, 2021-present)|Nintendo]] and [[Konami (2015-present)|Konami]], they take down a good amount of fangames out of their IPs for very questionable reasons.
#* In September 2018, they sent a cease and desist order to a fan game titled "Spyro: Myths Awaken," forcing the creator to rebrand the game as “Zera: Myths Awaken.”<ref>[https://www.eurogamer.net/spyro-myths-awaken-fan-game-sent-cease-and-desist]</ref>
#* Also in 2023, they terminated the development of numerous ''Call of Duty'' fan projects just to prevent competition with the recent Modern Warfare 3 remaster, as an act of sabotaging a passion project from fans of the franchise.
#** The reason why the projects were being made was to allow players to play the older titles without any hacked servers or some kind of malware corrupting the online system, thus canceling said projects was very sad and undeserved.
# Some modern ''Call of Duty'' titles haven’t gotten official price drops. ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops II|Black Ops 2]]'', a game released in 2012, still costs full price.<ref>https://store.steampowered.com/app/202970/Call_of_Duty_Black_Ops_II/</ref>
# Activision still hasn't budged on the microtransactions and loot boxes in ''Destiny 2'' (which is now self-published by Bungie) or ''Call of Duty'' when other companies have dialed back on the issue, going as far as trying to sell a red dot sight (which is a free unlockable reward since ''Call of Duty 4'') in ''Black Ops 4'' and K/D Tracker in ''Modern Warfare'' (2019) respectively, which only further proves that Activision has not learned from the incident with ''[[Star Wars Battlefront II (2017) loot box controversy|Star Wars Battlefront II]]''.
#* For example, Warner Bros. removed the loot boxes from ''Middle Earth: Shadow of War'' and [[Ubisoft (Mid 2017-present)|Ubisoft]] chose to forget the time-saver packs for ''Far Cry 5''. Even ''<u>'''[[Electronic Arts (2012-present)|EA]]'''</u>'' shut down microtransactions in ''[[Star Wars Battlefront II (2017, pre-2019)|Star Wars Battlefront II]]'' as well as choosing not to include them in ''[[Battlefield V]]''.
#* They have also started releasing games with no microtransactions/loot boxes at launch, only to add them in retroactively, the most notable examples are ''Call of Duty: Black Ops 4'' and ''Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled,'' '''a remake of a game from 1999'''.
#* It was discovered that there was a loot box system inside ''Modern Warfare (2019)''. It was fortunately canceled. However, the microtransactions are still there.
# For some reason, Activision decided to put all the ''Black Ops 4'' DLC content onto [https://www.google.com/amp/s/kotaku.com/call-of-duty-fans-in-uproar-over-black-ops-4s-season-pa-1826788961/amp a season pass] instead of just letting it be DLC. As a result, you don't have the option of buying what you want or need anymore and have to pay for all. Otherwise, you get nothing (even in ''Black Ops 3'', they launched zombie mode maps individually).
# Even back then, they published more garbage titles from various developers just for quick cash-ins, such as ''The Simpsons Wrestling'' and ''Super Pitfall''.
# On PC, for a while, they moved their ''Call of Duty franchise'' from Steam to Blizzard's Battle.net launching its titles from ''BO4'' and ''Modern Warfare 2019'', so the games can't get any feedback, with ''[[Call of Duty: WWII|WWII]]'' being the last ''COD'' game to release on [[Steam]] until MWII (2022) was announced to release on Steam for the first time since ''WWII''.
# They screwed up the physical release of ''[[Spyro Reignited Trilogy]]'' by having both ''Spyro 2'' and ''3'' as digital downloads. However, the game was pushed back from [https://howlongagogo.com/days-between/2018-09-21/2018-11-13 September 21 to November 13], as Toys for Bob wanted to give the game more love and care.
# Four months after ''Black Ops 4''<nowiki/>'s release, they suddenly plugged in loot boxes in it when the heist update was made and they are absolute crap as they can potentially form a freaking curb-stomp battle.
# They (along with [[Electronic Arts (2012-present)|EA]] and [[Bethesda Softworks (1985-2018, 2023-present)|Bethesda]]) are against the recent U.S bill to ban loot boxes and pay-to-win microtransactions in the U.S.<ref>https://youtu.be/npRcdl3f6iU</ref>
# They have been caught stealing artwork from other companies, such as using a picture taken by Bravo Company USA to use in one of their promotional artworks of ''Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019''.
#* They also copied the design of Booker T's character "G.I. Bro" for one of the characters in ''Modern Warfare'', which resulted in a lawsuit.
# They accept exclusivity deals when offered the chance. For example, ''Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019'' by making the "Survival" mode on the Coop mode, exclusive to the [[PlayStation 4|PS4]] for one year. This was unsurprisingly met with a lot of backlash, especially since once the mode is released on other platforms, a new ''Call of Duty'' game would have already been released or be close to being released. They also launched ''Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2'' in the [[Epic Games Store|Epic Store]] for PC.
# They teamed up with Autism Speaks, a horrible organization that promotes negative misconceptions and stigmas against autistic people, to produce blue Skylanders figures.
# Starting with ''Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2'', they are now locking '''demos''' behind digital pre-orders, which have either been sold with gaming magazines or available as free downloads. They've done the same thing with ''[[Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time]].'' A possible reason for this is that they want to encourage gamers to buy their games digitally since those generate more revenue than physical copies.
# They think it's a good idea to throw their Software License Agreement into practically any game they publish, regardless of if it has any online play, or if it's intended for a younger audience.
# Since the early 2010s, while Activision's working conditions kept getting much worse every time, mostly since they refused to cooperate with the state of California to improve, it ended up hitting rock bottom for real this time when [[Activision Blizzard gets exposed for horrendous working conditions by staff|they were given a lawsuit from the state of California over horrifying and toxic conditions to employees]], such as harassment, discrimination, misogyny, and even '''''a worker's suicide!'''' <ref>https://news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-report/activision-blizzard-sued-by-california-over-frat-boy-culture</ref>
#* Following a long investigation, Activision found itself innocent.
# The company cannot handle criticism at all.

#*According to Tony Hawk, after Vicarious Visions was merged into Blizzard, Activision reached out to its other studios for future ideas for the ''Tony Hawk's'' franchise, but Activision didn't like any of their ideas.
=== Blizzard (2018-present) ===
# They've become greedy after the merger with Activision, and now mostly create quick cash-grab remakes and milk the money via nostalgia pandering instead of creating an entirely new game. These problems became prevalent when their former CEO, Mike Morhaime, left the company in 2018.
#* This is also why some games like ''Heroes of the Storm'' and ''StarCraft II'' receive little to no updates as of December 2020.
# Since the partnership deal with NetEase in 2009, Blizzard has leaned towards games as a service model, as they followed NetEase's monetization method in the Chinese server of ''World of Warcraft'' and applied these updates on the live server, which caused massive outrage in the ''WoW'' community.
# They've rushed their games like ''[[Warcraft III: Reforged]]'' and ''Diablo III,'' resulting in a half-finished or even incomplete state of the game.
# They are suspected of bribing gaming journalists in an attempt to cover up their bad game's quality, a prime example is the infamous ''".....it has a little something for everyone"'' review of ''[[Warcraft III: Reforged]]'' by IGN.
# They ban various players and people due to their political and social views. For example;
#* [[Blizzard bans Blitzchung over Hong Kong protests|They banned Blitzchung, a ''Hearthstone'' pro player for his support of Hong Kong]] during their protests against China for human rights since they feared keeping him would hurt sales in mainland communist China.
#* They banned the "okay" hand gesture due to the media getting baited by 4chan's troll thread which claimed that it was a "white supremacy" symbol.
#* They teamed up with Twitch to ban and censor several gaming channels in cooperation with regressive left-minded moderators.
#* They banned Savjz, another ''Hearthstone'' pro player after his wife criticized the company for laying off 770 employees despite the company's profitable record in 2018.
# Most of their employees often post anti-white comments on Twitter. Some examples include:
#* Madeleine Roux, who constantly bashes white people like there's no tomorrow, and also treats customers like trash.<ref>https://static.miraheze.org/crappygameswiki/a/a1/6ad1h7vsx2q51.png</ref>
#* Kami Garcia, who supports discrimination against whites, and falsely accused them of having more serial killers and pedophiles than any other race.
#* LL McKinney, who falsely claims that whites only exist to be racist.<ref name=":0">https://boundingintocomics.com/2020/10/06/multiple-world-of-warcraft-authors-including-l-l-mckinney-and-catherynne-m-valente-express-racist-anti-white-beliefs/</ref>
#* Molly Knox Ostertag, claims that older white men are the "plague" of the industry.<ref name=":0" />
# Recently, they have been against modding and fan-made content in their games.
#* The most infamous example is when they made custom content in ''Warcraft III: Reforged'' owned by Blizzard without the creator's consent.<ref>https://www.gamespot.com/articles/blizzard-owns-warcraft-3-reforged-custom-games-wit/1100-6473206/</ref>
#* They shut down ''Nostalrius'', a fan-made, private WoW server that runs on an older, legacy version of ''World of WarCraft''.<ref>[https://www.shacknews.com/article/94018/blizzard-shuts-down-fan-hosted-server-nostalrius-running-vanilla-world-of-warcraft]</ref> Thankfully, Blizzard apologized<ref>[https://www.eurogamer.net/blizzard-responds-to-wow-nostalrius-pirate-private-server-closer]</ref> and released ''World of Warcraft Classic'' due to backlash.<ref>https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2017/11/world-of-warcraft-classic-is-official-will-bring-vanilla-wow-back/</ref>
#* Recent patches in their older games have their source codes changed, breaking many mods.
# They fired voice actor Quinton Flynn from his role in ''World of Warcraft'' after the sexual harassment allegations against him<ref>[https://nichegamer.com/quinton-flynn-replaced-as-kaelthas-voice-actor-in-wow-despite-judge-ruling-sexual-misconduct-allegations-came-from-obsessive-stalker]</ref> and refused to hire him back after he proved his innocence<ref>https://twitter.com/quintonflynn/status/1384197994120028171</ref>. This could also be seen as hypocritical as seen in the next reason below.
# Along with Activision, they've also been exposed for having a toxic work culture and discrimination in July 2021.
#* The situation is considered ironic, as the report also revealed several cases of sexual harassment and misogynistic treatment against women, despite Blizzard employing several vocal left-wing employees in their company (and left-wing pandering in Activision, to an extent).
# In November 2018, when they announced [[Announcement of Diablo Immortal|a mobile F2P "spin-off" of ''Diablo'' called ''Diablo Immortal'']], fans were so furious that it led to a disastrous damage control campaign.
#* When ''[[Diablo Immortal]]'' was finally released in June 2022, the game proved to be a pay-to-win disaster, as it would take hundreds of thousands of dollars just to fully upgrade a character.
# In June 2022, they announced that ''Overwatch 2'' [https://hypebeast.com/2022/6/blizzard-overwatch-2-original-game-replacement-announcement would completely replace the original ''Overwatch''], making that game unplayable.
# They never care about the external developers as they prefer merging the teams (regardless if it's a standalone company or an owned subsidiary):
#* They folded Vicarious Visions into Blizzard, as they chose the studio to develop ''Diablo II: Resurrected'' instead of Blizzard's Team 1.<ref>[https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-01-22/blizzard-absorbs-activision-studio-after-dismantling-classic-games-team Blizzard Absorbs Activision Studio After Dismantling Classic Games Team]</ref><ref>[https://venturebeat.com/2021/02/22/blizzard-leaders-j-allen-brack-and-allen-adham-on-leaks-reforged-lessons-mobile-and-more/ Blizzard leaders J.

#* On June 29, 2022, they acquired Proletariat (the self-published developer of ''Spellbreak'') to support ''World of Warcraft'' expansion ''Dragonflight''. Because of this, Proletariat plans to end the support of ''Spellbreak'' in early 2023.<ref>[https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/blizzard-acquires-spellbreak-studio-proletariat-to-work-on-world-of-warcraft/ Blizzard acquires ''Spellbreak'' studio Proletariat to work on ''World of Warcraft'']</ref>
# Their launcher, Battle.net, forces all their games to be online at all times, except for ''Starcraft: Remastered'', ''StarCraft II'', ''Warcraft III: Reforged'', and ''Diablo II: Resurrected''. [https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/000010313 Instead, there is a 30-day DRM check when the Play button is greyed out means you cannot play them again until you go online to recheck them.]
#* [https://mp1st.com/news/diablo-2-resurrected-cannot-be-played-offline-if-you-fail-to-login-online-once-in-30-days ''Diablo II: Resurrected'' console ports also used this practice.] You will get an authentication error if you don't go online after 30 days.
# In 1998, Cendant (Blizzard's parent company at the time) was involved in an accounting fraud scandal. The company had been overstating its income by $550 million for the past three years. When this report was released to the public, Cendant's market cap dropped by $14 billion. In 2001, Cendant agreed to a $3.2 billion class action settlement and an additional $32.5 million settlement in 2005.
#* As a result, Cendant Software was sold to Havas (a division of Vivendi) for $770 million.
#* In 2005, Vice Chairman Kirk Shelton was sentenced to eight years in prison for fraud. In 2007, CEO Walter Forbes was sentenced to 12 years in prison. Each of them was ordered to pay Cendant US$3.275 billion in restitution. Shelton's initial payment was $15 million before his conviction, followed by a rate of $2,000 per month upon his release. At that rate, it would take '''135,000 years''' for Shelton to fully pay Cendant (which is now known as Avis).
#* Cendant was mostly known as a travel (Avis, Howard Johnson, Ramada, Super 8) and real estate (Century 21, Coldwell Banker) company. When Blizzard was sold to Cendant, Microsoft general manager Ed Fries remarked, "I just got outbid by a time-share camping business?" Then when Vivendi acquired the studio, Fries told IGN, "This time I get outbid by a French water utility."<ref>https://www.ign.com/articles/xbox-blizzard-acquisition</ref>
== Redeeming Qualities ==
=== Activision (pre-2013) ===
# Many of their games are still awesome, such as the ''Call of Duty'' titles, except for [[Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified|Black Ops Declassified]], [[Call of Duty: Ghosts|Ghosts]], [[Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare]], [[Call of Duty: WWII|Call of Duty: WW2]], Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, and [[Call of Duty: Vanguard|Vanguard]], the ''Tony Hawk's'' franchise, except for the Robomodo games and motion, and a plethora of Marvel games.
#*They also released lots of good games back in the '80s-2000s such as the ''MechWarrior'' franchise (before ''MechWarrior 3'' that was released by MicroProse), ''Tony Hawk'' franchise, ''Interstate'' franchise, ''BattleZone'' franchise (since 1998) and also the ''Soldier of Fortune'' franchise (expect Payback), ''Heavy Gear'' franchise and also ''Hexen 2'', ''[[Quake]]'' (''II'' and ''III Arena''), ''Nightmare Creatures'' and ''Heretic II'' and despite their flaws back then they still were good until 2013 when they started to go downhill.
# Although it's a rare occurrence nowadays, they sometimes still make good games thanks to some talented studios under their wing, like Vicarious Visions, Beenox, and Toys For Bob.
# They published ''Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice'' outside Japan, a great single-player game. Even better, the only thing they had requested was to add the "Shadows Die Twice" to the title otherwise had no hand in the development of the game.
# Most of their licensed games such as Dreamworks Games (except for [[DreamWorks Super Star Kartz]]), Marvel Games (except for [[The Amazing Spider-Man 2]]), Transformers Games, and James Bond Games (except for [[James Bond 007: Legends]]) are awesome.
# They are the world's first third-party publisher, making many classics for the [[Atari 2600]] including ''Pitfall'' and ''River Raid''.
# They stopped selling multiplayer maps with ''Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019),'' giving its further maps free and without any console early access exclusivity like previous Call of Duty installments''.''
# They're still one of the few companies that still include split-screen in some of their games.
# They have removed loot boxes from their games, starting with ''Modern Warfare (2019),'' in favor of season Battle Passes.<ref>[https://www.firstpost.com/tech/gaming/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-drops-loot-boxes-and-opts-for-a-battle-pass-7520331.html]</ref>
# They successfully revived the ''Crash Bandicoot'' franchise, and the success of ''[[Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy]]'' influenced them to remaster games the same way, such as ''Spyro Reignited Trilogy'', ''Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled'' and ''Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2'' (not to be confused with that [[Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD|mediocre remake by Robomodo]]).
# Thanks to them releasing ''Angry Birds Trilogy'' and ''[[Angry Birds Star Wars]]'' on the consoles, there is now another way to play some of the original Angry Birds games due to [[Rovio Entertainment (2016-2020, 2023-present)|Rovio]] deleting almost all of them.
# It's nice to see they're treating the ''Crash'' and ''Spyro'' series a lot better unlike Universal Interactive who treated Naughty Dog and Traveller's Tales like dirt during the development of the Crash PS1 trilogy and Wrath of Cortex such as refusing to pay off the air conditioning when it broke on a hot Californian summer during ''Crash Bandicoot: Warped''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s development and forcing TT to restart development of Wrath of Cortex'','' rushed some of their games such as ''[[Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly]]'' and ''[[Crash Twinsanity]]'' which both resulted in a lot of glitches and big amounts of cut content and also launched some of the worst titles to both franchises such as [[Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto's Rampage and Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy|''Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto's Rampage'' and ''Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy'']], ''[[Crash Boom Bang!]]'', ''Spyro: Shadow Legacy'' and ''[[Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex]]''. Ultimately, Universal Interactive/Vivendi Universal sold itself to Activision.
# They are no longer partnered with Bungie, which allows Bungie to self-publish ''Destiny 2'' updates.<ref>https://www.pcgamer.com/bungie-splits-with-activision-keeps-control-of-destiny/</ref>
#* Unfortunately, Bungie has also monetized ''Destiny 2'' to death.
# Nowadays they release games a short time after announcing them, instead of announcing them way too early like most companies.
# They still showed support to Nintendo's [[Wii U]] while the console was selling poorly, until the end of its lifespan.
# With the news of Microsoft's purchase, there is hope that the company's work culture may improve.
#*Bobby Kotick and Phil Spencer are both interested in reviving some of Activision's old franchises.
#**Even Toys for Bob's studio head [https://twitter.com/paul_d_yan/status/1500563570320314368 is interested in making another] ''Banjo-Kazooie'' or ''Spyro'' game.
#*Phil Spencer said he wants ''Call of Duty'' games to be on the [[Nintendo Switch]].<ref>https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2022/02/microsoft-wants-call-of-duty-on-switch-along-with-other-popular-activision-blizzard-games</ref>
#*[https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/xbox-report-call-of-duty-games-not-releasing-every-year Xbox may no longer release a new ''Call of Duty'' game every year], allowing Activision's studios to explore other projects.
#*While Microsoft didn't comment about the allegations after the purchase, they said that once the deal is closed in at least July 2023, Bobby Kotick will leave and Activision will report to Phil Spencer as their CEO.<ref>[https://www.gamesindustry.biz/kotick-expected-to-leave-activision-blizzard-after-microsoft-deal-closes]</ref>
=== Blizzard (pre-2018) ===
# Despite their reputation, they used to be one of the best gaming companies with best-selling franchises like ''WarCraft'', ''The Lost Vikings'', ''Blackthorne'', ''Diablo'', ''StarCraft'', and ''Overwatch''. For the record, in that article, some of the good qualities are still present in the company today, probably only the thing about its logo.

ChatGPT is a generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot developed by OpenAI and launched in 2022. It is based on the GPT-4o large language model (LLM). ChatGPT can generate human-like conversational responses, and enables users to refine and steer a conversation towards a desired length, format, style, level of detail, and language. It is credited with accelerating the AI boom, which has led to ongoing rapid investment in and public attention to the field of artificial intelligence. Some observers have raised concern about the potential of ChatGPT and similar programs to displace human intelligence, enable plagiarism, or fuel misinformation.
==Why It Rocks==
#ChatGPT can provide instant answers on a wide range of topics, from technical subjects to general curiosities. This saves time and makes knowledge more accessible.
#It can help organize nize tasks, provide planning suggestions, write texts, generate creative ideas, and even support studies or projects.
#ChatGPT is also capable of learning from interactions and personalizing its responses to align with your preferences or needs, such as the dentistry course you're planning.
#It's free and it can be accessed at any time, now, you don't even need too log in to have an experience with it!
#It can help review texts, create drafts and provide feedback, reducing the possibility of errors in important documents.
==Bad Qualities==
#For highly specialized tasks or very technical areas, ChatGPT may not provide the same depth of knowledge as an expert or professional in the field.
#Although the model is trained to provide accurate answers, it can occasionally generate incorrect or misleading information, especially in complex topics or ambiguous situations.
#ChatGPT does not have physical or sensory interaction capabilities, which can be a limitation for tasks that require a human touch or a deeper, more contextual interaction.
==Trivia==
*By January 2023, ChatGPT had become what was then the fastest-growing consumer software application in history, gaining over 100 million users in two months and contributing to the growth of OpenAI's current valuation of $86 billion.
*This article was written based on a text from ChatGPT.

==Reception==
OpenAI engineers have said that they had not expected ChatGPT to be very successful and were surprised by the coverage and attention that it received.
ChatGPT was widely assessed in December 2022 as having some unprecedented and powerful capabilities. Kevin Roose of The New York Times called it "the best artificial intelligence chatbot ever released to the general public".Samantha Lock of The Guardian noted that it was able to generate "impressively detailed" and "human-like" text. Alex Kantrowitz of Slate magazine lauded ChatGPT's pushback to questions related to Nazi Germany, including the statement that Adolf Hitler built highways in Germany, which was met with information about Nazi Germany's use of forced labor. In The Atlantic magazine's "Breakthroughs of the Year" for 2022, Derek Thompson included ChatGPT as part of "the generative-AI eruption" that "may change our mind about how we work, how we think, and what human creativity is". Kelsey Piper of Vox wrote that "ChatGPT is the general public's first hands-on introduction to how powerful modern AI has gotten, and as a result, many of us are [stunned]" and that ChatGPT is "smart enough to be useful despite its flaws".Paul Graham of Y Combinator tweeted: "The striking thing about the reaction to ChatGPT is not just the number of people who are blown away by it, but who they are. These are not people who get excited by every shiny new thing. Something big is happening."
ChatGPT gained one million users in five days and 100 millions in two months, becoming the fastest-growing internet application in history. ChatGPT's launch and popularity caught Google off-guard, prompting a sweeping and unprecedented response in the ensuing months. In December 2022, Google executives sounded a "code red" alarm, fearing the threat of ChatGPT and Microsoft's collaboration with OpenAI to Google Search, Google's core business. After mobilizing its workforce, Google scrambled to launch Bard, a chatbot powered by the LaMDA LLM, on February 6, 2023, one day before Microsoft's announcement of Bing Chat. AI was the forefront of Google's annual Google I/O conference in May, announcing a slew of generative AI-powered features across its products to counter OpenAI and Microsoft.

ChatGPT is a generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot developed by OpenAI and launched in 2022. It is based on the GPT-4o large language model (LLM). ChatGPT can generate human-like conversational responses, and enables users to refine and steer a conversation towards a desired length, format, style, level of detail, and language. It is credited with accelerating the AI boom, which has led to ongoing rapid investment in and public attention to the field of artificial intelligence. Some observers have raised concern about the potential of ChatGPT and similar programs to displace human intelligence, enable plagiarism, or fuel misinformation.

'''''[[:w:Family Guy|Family Guy]]''''' is an American adult animated sitcom created by Seth MacFarlane for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series centers on the Griffins, a family consisting of parents Peter and Lois; their children, Meg, Chris, and Stewie, and their anthropomorphic pet dog, Brian. The show is set in the fictional city of Quahog, Rhode Island.
[[Family Guy (seasons 1-7)|While the first 5 seasons (1999-2007) were well received and seasons 6 to 7 (2007-2009) garnered mixed-to-positive reception]], seasons 8-present (2009-present) had been universally panned. These seasons have gone down as one of the worst examples of seasonal rot and character flanderization.
==Why It's Not Our Family Guy Anymore ==
#Going into the first basis of the harangue of these seasons is that the spectacular charm and wondrous charisma of the first five seasons, and as an additional morsel, the sixth and seventh seasons are completely decimated into atoms of slander and hatred, considering that ''Family Guy'' is known as the apex of the golden, classic adult animation in which its memorable essence represents.
#*What caused the show to be sent downhill at such highly extreme levels is the episode from season 8, parsed "[[Peter-assment (Family Guy)|Peter-assment]]." Worse yet, interpreting all the testaments explained below is never causing the show to experience the bitter taste of recovery that it needs, no matter how hard it tries to do so, and always failing every single time.
#*This is clearly not the case, as a rather considerable and large chunk of the seasons were only there, and were only '''''right here''''' to serve as a big envenom to all the problems that have already been fanning the flames of ''Family Guy''. Seasons 10, 12-14, 17-19, and 22 were rightfully titled as putting the decline in quality declination, with many poor and abominable episodes (which are considered the absolute worst of the entire series) sporadically invading the perpetuity and phenomenal charm the show has, usually giving off one notorious example of naming only a few of them being some of the biggest red flags: "[[Seahorse Seashell Party (Family Guy)|Seahorse Seashell Party]]", "[[Trump Guy (Family Guy)|Trump Guy]]" (which almost looked like the show had a crossover episode with "[[Our Cartoon President]]") and "[[Better Off Meg (Family Guy)|Better Off Meg]]".
#**On top of that, they weren't even kissing, and was instead meant to be Meg performing CPR on Peter yet it immediately looked like they were kissing each other on the lips, due to the bad animation making it very easy to decipt Meg kissing Peter.
#*Out of all of these seasons, Season 22 is considered the worst of the bunch as it’s even more safe and shallow than previous seasons. Peter also became an unlikeable character again and had several jump-the-shark moments too like him being accused of kissing his daughter Meg despite it being incest. The writer's strike also heavily effected the quality of the season, and it shows how low the series had hit rock bottom up to this point.
#*Seasons 12, 18 and 19 are also considered one of the worst to an extent, as season 12 showed a lot of flanderization and had a few more bad episodes than the rest of the bad seasons, and it holds some of the all-time worst episodes of the series in general. The latter seasons however are due to how safe and shallow they are, with season 19 being almost on par with season 12 due to bringing back some of the things that people hated in seasons 12 and 13, with more dragged jokes, cheap shock value, and The Hudson Brothers, the show's next Conway Twitty.
#The show keeps ignoring criticism and feedback with a lot of the writers refusing to listen to any form of criticism fans or critics make towards the show and its episodes, and such writers making episodes that only serve to lash out at the people making said criticisms. Such hater episodes include "You Can’t Handle the Booth," "Brian’s a Bad Father," and "Seahorse Seashell Party."
#*Additionally, if the show would just listen to criticism and improve, than ''none'' of this would have happened.
#The writing has been downgraded from being clever and funny to completely atrocious and catastrophic, almost to the point of irredeemability. It's worse knowing that the writing staff behind the show is huge with 14 writers and a multi-million-dollar budget (more specifically, $2 million), both of which are impressive for a TV series and yet they come up with all this stuff. Plus, most of them barely had any experience in working on the show's earlier seasons, which therefore explains the series' massive decline in quality during these seasons due to the various problems such as bad writing and character butchery as listed below.
#*What's, even more, worse is that the writers also clearly lack any respect for the fans or the audience in general, like how they decided to kill off Brian just because he was hated so much and then bring him back two episodes later. They also did absolutely nothing to redeem his flanderization and just kept him just as maybe even more unlikeable, yet the writers make it clear that in a way they can kill him once, and if the audience gets mad, they have the power to do it again. This is a tactic known as "leverage".
# The characters have been flanderized and derailed beyond recognition to the point of becoming unlikable and lacking the charm they previously had (especially the Griffin family):
##Peter himself is the biggest, and overall '''worst''' offender of this. He suffers from the '''absolute worst''' flanderization and character derailment of all the ''Family Guy'' characters, and even one of the worst in cartoon history, as he has gone from an oafish, yet naïve, silly, likable, and good-hearted father who cares a lot about his family and is incredibly respectful to Meg (in "The Story on Page One" he says he'd take a bullet for her, showing how he was a wonderful father) to a psychopathic, idiotic, selfish, childish, bratty, arrogant, super unlikable, malicious, manipulative, quick-tempered, monstrous, incredibly abusive, insensitive, and argumentative father who causes misery to many people around him and rarely shows affection to his family, does very illegal and evil things in almost every episode and also gets away with his actions considering that he did all of that stuff out of idiocy, which makes him a Karma Houdini. He is also a rotten friend, having to shoot Joe in the eye and Quagmire in the arm on two separate occasions. Though to be fair, his mistreatment of Meg already began in "Model Misbehavior", but he never abused her before that, making this horribly out of character for him.
##Brian has gone from a slightly snarky, yet good-hearted, talking dog who is the family's voice of reason to a completely self-absorbed, pretentious, alcoholic, egotistical, and "occasionally" an atheist fundamentalist (in other words, essentially a political soapbox) who tells lies to get attractive women to like him and thinks religions are for idiots. He's also a conniving and ungrateful scoundrel who will do anything to advance any of his careers, especially if it means hurting his loved ones, screwing over the people who helped him, or letting them die. He's also a massive hypocrite by saying Lois having an affair with anyone other than him is wrong.
##Lois has gone from a nice and compassionate wife to Peter and a loving mother that always supports and gives good advice to her children, to a short-tempered, immature, egotistical, annoying, wrathful, and psychotic dominatrix wannabe who abuses Peter, acts like she has control over her family's life, never defends Meg and Chris from their father's abuse and only talks down to her, is a massive hypocrite who calls her family out on things she's guilty of doing herself and is very loud and obnoxious, and has cheated on Peter on several occasions. She's an even bigger Karma Houdini than him because of her HUGE superiority complex.
##Chris has gone from a normal, kind, slightly dimwitted teenager who is an incredibly talented artist who enjoys playfully and harmlessly teasing Meg like any brother would to a completely dimwitted, uninteresting character who's only known for masturbating all the time, joins the family in bullying, Meg, hardly willingly helping her, and is only used when Peter has too much screen time. Fortunately, he didn't see too much decline in character.
##Meg until season 15 has gone from a whiny, uptight, socially awkward girl trying to make friends and was often embarrassed by her family's acts of bumbling and stupidity, though they still truly loved her at the end of the day and meant well (before the "Model Misbehavior" episode at least), to her family's routinely abused personal punching bag that can be occasionally as bad as them, such as trying to plan a sexual assault on Chris just so she could have closure from a gay boy, going all ''Fatal Attraction'' on Brian, trying to replace Bonnie as Joe's wife by framing her and breastfeeding their baby, or engaging in a deadly fight at the school cafeteria with Chris. Worst of all, '''Meg going through unnecessary abuse and torment is always used just for the sake and hopes of ''laughs and comedy''''', and it feels like the writers just wanted to express all their unjustified hatred towards her. However, since season 16, the abuse against her thankfully stopped.
##Stewie has gone from being an evil genius baby bent on killing his mother and destroying the world to being a flamboyant gay stereotype. All of his screen time is dedicated to making silly one-liners, humiliating Brian or harassing him, and overall acting effeminate; when that wasn't who he used to be.
##Quagmire has gone from a funny and somewhat perverted ladies' man to a complete pervert who is used for little more than sexual humor and has his perverted qualities exaggerated. Like Peter and Stewie, there is also an incredible lack of expression from him.
##*In fact, he has also developed a hatred towards Brian. Not because of anything personal, but because he becomes a surrogate for the fans that started hating Brian heavily. If anyone watches the clip where Quagmire reveals to Brian why he hates him, they will notice that there is nothing related that involves Quagmire and just makes him look like a hypocrite. This subplot got very old fast.
##Joe has gone from a strong and confident police officer who was a good role model to a crutch for cruel handicap jokes to an old groaner who screams way too much, and a cowardly spineless cop who lets Peter get away with everything and never arrest him for any lawbreaking acts like shooting him in the eye with a BB gun, and for giving his daughter Susie a raspberry in the "wrong place". What also doesn't help is that in the newer seasons, he gets ''way'' too much screen time. It's like the writers have a new motto: when in doubt, shove him into the scene.
##*In most episodes, he gets treated horribly for no reason, like Peter beating him with his wheelchair without hesitation in "Killer Queen", or a bird telling him to hang himself in "The Birthday Bootlegger".
##Bonnie went from Joe's caring and supportive wife to seeing him as an inconvenience and someone to bully, cheat on, and kill. The biggest example of Bonnie wanting to cheat on him is the episode "Foreign Affair" in which the main plot of the episode is her wanting to have an affair in Paris.
##Despite it occurring in his spin-off series, Cleveland was flanderized from being a slow-talking but friendly and hilarious Black man, into a whiny, immature, annoying, unfunny, and literal manchild in his very own show, as he acts like a literal clone of Peter. Thankfully, he redeemed himself when he moved back to Quahog.
##The character of Ida, Quagmire's transgender parent, only exists just so the writers can make transphobic "jokes", such as how not once after her sex change has she been referred to as a woman. What makes this way, ''way'' worse is that Seth MacFarlane described her introductory episode as "the most sympathetic portrayal of a transgender person" when in reality it was anything but sympathetic. If anything, the entire episode spent its time ''mocking'' the transgender community.
## Sometimes, the show introduces a new character and then immediately either kills them off or just throws them aside with little to no character development. Notable examples include Vinny, a new dog the Griffins get when Brian dies, and Jess, a young woman Brian marries who is killed off after two episodes.
##The show continually tries to push a new character named Doug as Stewie's new nemesis, but the character is so one-dimensional that it won't take long for viewers to forget him. Since there were a handful of episodes dedicated to him in season 20, it was almost as if the entire season would revolve around him and Stewie, but then they appeared to drop him after "The Birthday Bootlegger", making his presence ultimately pointless... only for him to return in the "The Candidate".
##Speaking of Stewie having a rival, once Cleveland returned with his new family, they were completely abandoned and never really did much on the show, only being seen in the background, when Rallo Tubbs could have been the '''perfect''' rival/frenemy to Stewie, similar to the rivalry/friendship between Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny or Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse, making it a huge missed opportunity.
##Speaking of character development, none of that is given to the characters in any of the episodes. And when there is, it's all but forgotten in the following episode, despite this show's episodes being canon.
#A very wide number of bad-to-mediocre episodes (see the Notable Bad Episodes from These Seasons section).
#Some episodes are offensive and mock tragedies in an unfunny taste.
#*Most notably, the show makes many references to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which is pretty tasteless since MacFarlane, the show's creator, '''''almost died''''' on that day by thankfully missing the flight that would've headed towards the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
#** Nearly every single intended emotional or dramatic moment falls flat or is very hypocritical and insincere due to its mean-spirited tone, and use of humor at the wrong moments. Like the scene in "[[Life of Brian (Family Guy)|Life of Brian]]" where the squirrel kicks and spits on Brian right after he gets run over by a car, or Quagmire watching baseball on his phone during the funeral, although it’s somewhat justified as he hates Brian.
# Most of the episodes have terrible, misguided, and (sometimes) damaging morals like in "[[Peter-assment (Family Guy)|Peter-assment]]" saying it's okay for a woman to rape a man if she's lonely.
#'''Quantity over quality''': Like other shows such as [[The Simpsons (seasons 11-31)|''The'' ''Simpsons'']], ''[[South Park (season 20)| South Park]],'' ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants (seasons 6-8)|SpongeBob SquarePants]]'', ''[[The Loud House (seasons 4-present)| The Loud House]]'' (despite all of them either going back to normal and/or still having several good and decent episodes every now and then), the series has been running for way too long (it started in 1999 and it's unlikely that the show will be ending anytime soon), spanning a total of 22 seasons and 408+ episodes and counting. While this idea may work, the show has jumped the shark because of this, and this takes the cake. It's to the point where even MacFarlane is aware of the downfall of his series and wanted it canceled, even though Fox won't allow it as the series now devolved into their cash cow.
# Most of the endings are either unsatisfying, mean-spirited, or even misleading:
##In "No Giggity, No Doubt", Quagmire starts growing more of a character with his new daughter, Courtney, saying he's going to be more of a father to her. Still, in the episodes after that, he's back to his usual, sex-craving self, and the writers completely wrote out Courtney with no explanation, as if she never existed.
##In "The Heartbreak Dog", when Brian apologizes to Joe for kissing his wife, Bonnie. Instead of Joe accepting Brian's apology, the former just abused Brian for the entire episode and '''even shoots him in the leg in the ending'''.
##Likewise, the ending of "Cutawayland" (despite actually being a good episode) is nothing special and it uses a "just a dream" cliche, which is overused a lot.
## In "Family Guy Lite", Peter has lost a lot of weight, but in the next episode "No Giggity, No Doubt", he's back to being overweight, and it is never explained why.
##In "A Fistful of Meg", Chris walks in and is surprised to see Stewie and Brian looking like the former, who tells the audience that the next episode will be about this, but in the next episode itself, "Boopa-Dee Bappa-Dee", everything is back to normal.
##In "Meg Goes to College" (despite actually being a good episode), Meg fails to windsurf, so she’s sadly out of college, and to add extra salt to the wound, she is drowning. Lois tells Peter to call an ambulance in worry, only for Peter to tell Lois to do it because Peter’s phone number is blocked by 911 because of making nuisance calls to them, which shows Peter’s usual stupidity going too far to the point where he’s not even funny and is obnoxious.
##In "Hard Boiled Meg", there's an out-of-nowhere twist ending in which it reveals that the entire episode was a VR simulation of Seymour.
#The fourth wall is broken too many times in several episodes (like "[[The Unkindest Cut (Family Guy)|The Unkindest Cut]]", and "Trump Guy"), which has gotten old quickly.
#* In nearly all episodes, the characters will often talk directly to the audience, which also gets annoying quickly.
#The humor, jokes, and gags have been severely downgraded:
#*The humor, in general, is either gross out, confusing, mean-spirited, or over-reliant on pop culture references and cutaway gags.
#**For example, jokes about school shootings and other mass shootings, suicide, domestic abuse, animal abuse, child abuse, Neo-Nazism, terrorism, racism, pedophilia, sexism, and rape are all present. However, the jokes aren't funny, and they come off as insulting and/or tasteless. That is why these jokes don't work.
#*The delivery is godawful as many voice actors talk with little to no expression or effort like they're robots.
#*Repetitive stereotypes are used as a limited cycle of jokes, such as Jewish people liking money, black people being sassy, gay people being flamboyant, Asian people speaking broken English, Italian people talking and acting weird, and British people having bad teeth.
#*The abusive jokes towards Meg are just unfunny, mean-spirited, and overused, making the characters seem even more unlikeable.
#*There is also the overuse of gross-out and toilet humor and fart jokes like Peter having musical farts which he uses to sing the ''Sanford and Son'' theme song, or even being a ghost made out of a dog's fart.
#*It even overuses shock humor and gore to the point where it's more disturbing and creepier than actually funny.
#**Not to mention some of the graphic imagery is just outright disgusting and disturbing, such as a scene in the episode "Peter Problems" where Peter kills a beached whale with a forklift truck.
#*Oftentimes the show tends to constantly explain the jokes before the punchline is set up. That's because the writers of the show are shallow enough to think the show's audience is brain-dead enough to get the joke, making Family Guy a more notable example of being the worst offender. Here are some examples:
#*#In "[[Trump Guy (Family Guy)|Trump Guy]]," there is a television gag parodying ''Pirates of the Caribbean'' featuring Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow where they spell out what the joke is before the joke is delivered. In this case, the joke is "''Pirates of the Caribbean'' with the microphone being too close to the jangling bracelets and that's all that it is.
#*#In "Brief Encounter", Stewie asks Brian if he would end the episode with a "To be continued..." meme from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure before Brian gets blown up by Stewie's bazooka while "Roundabout" plays as the episode ends. Not to mention this meme has been inactive quite after 2019 or 2017, which makes the episode's ending feel dated, and the meme was not even replicated correctly, since the “to be continued” text is supposed to pop up before the event happens, showing just how little they know about the meme, as this joke was just a poor attempt at being relevant.
#*#Because ''Family Guy'' often explains the joke before even setting up the punchline, most of these jokes are ruined by the writers making the characters explain the joke before the punchline is set. If you want a quote from the Joker: "If you have to explain a joke, there is no joke!" While later seasons of ''The Simpsons'' are a mixed bag in terms of jokes and humor, at least that show itself hardly had a single moment of the characters explaining the joke to the audience before either the punchline is set up or because there is some other way to insult the audience's intelligence because unlike ''Family Guy'', ''The Simpsons'' hardly did this.
#*Sometimes, the show can throw in jokes that last for ''way'' too long to a point where a joke that could have been funny at first, ends up getting completely ruined in the end due to it taking too long to end. Whilst the first seven seasons were also guilty of using this type of humor, in these seasons, they're pretty much a long-running theme that the writers seem to like using:
#*#In "[[Yacht Rocky (Family Guy)|Yacht Rocky]]", which involves a scene where the decapitated head of Meg's dead boyfriend Chad falls to where the rest of the Griffin family are, and Chris tries to throw it back up to Meg, but it lasts for '''a whole minute''' just for Chris to get it back up there.
#*#In "[[Boys & Squirrels (Family Guy)|Boys & Squirrels]]", which involved a cutaway gag of Peter trying to unwrap the Saran Wrap and put it on his dinner plate, which lasts for '''twice as long''' as the previously mentioned scene.
#*# In the episode "[[Send in Stewie, Please (Family Guy)|Send in Stewie, Please]]" where Stewie goes and explains his doctor's love life, which goes on for a whopping '''six minutes'''.
#*# In "[[Quagmire's Mom (Family Guy)|Quagmire's Mom]]", there's an infamous cutaway with Peter doing nothing but tapping his foot (which looks more like a still image) waiting for "Baba O'Riley" by "The Who" to start that lasts for straight '''90 seconds'''.
#*#The "Star Wars" parody trilogy is also an example of this too. "Blue Harvest" was originally meant to be a single episode that was intended to be a joke as a result of the show relying too much on ''Star Wars'' humor at the time. Still, Fox forced them to parody the other two movies, and while the episodes are pretty good, doing the other two films ended up ruining the joke, which even the show admitted in "It's a Trap!" via its opening crawl.
#*Similar to ''[[Ren & Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon"]]'', one of the main reasons that made the original seven seasons of ''Family Guy'' beloved by fans was the fact that back when the show was hampered by network censorship restrictions it not only controlled its amount of adult and gross-out content, yet it encouraged the writers of ''Family Guy'' at the time to be more creative with their comedic gags and story executions. For example, in various episodes, although it does have abuse, violence, deaths, cutaways, and even farting, it wasn't too much since the writers managed to write other funny gags and even the deaths are not too graphic since it is only for a brief time or even off-screen. But since the time ''Family Guy'' is released from the network censorship restrictions it previously had in the first seven seasons as of season 8 due to its successful ratings, this resulted in the show losing its creativity in favor of the overuse of gross-out and raunchy humor without any network censorship interference whatsoever.
#*Some of the humor is just people screaming and being over the top, mainly with Lois and Joe.
#*The episodes often steal elements from [[American Dad!|its sister show]] and ''[[The Simpsons (seasons 1-10, 32-present)|The Simpsons]]'', the former in particular being odd because both ''American Dad!'' and ''Family Guy'' are created by MacFarlane himself.
#*Several episodes are repetitive in-jokes and plot structure with a lot of recycled elements from previous episodes such as Peter not listening to Lois at first and then realizing he is wrong and apologizing, the Meg mistreatment, and the Brian and Quagmire feud.
#*This show ''Endlessly'' has jokes about penises and gay stereotypes for what feels like every two seconds. It can't even go half a millisecond without some joke about penises, sex, or gay people. It's never funny either, as this show seems to believe it's the funniest thing ever and makes audiences crack up because Stewie says "gay" or Lois talks about penises.
#* Most of the cutaways and scenes portray nothing but filler (for example, the Conway Twitty cutaways). This also really harms the episodes in themselves, since if one were to take out the cutaways, the episodes don't even add up to ''11 minutes''.
#* More recently, the show has been continuously making autism and disabled jokes. The most notable occurrence was in season 14 where there was an autism joke in '''five episodes''', with the first four times being consecutive.
# The voice acting, while great, can get annoying and overly hammy for some of the characters, especially for Lois.
#Overuse of product placements, such as Skittles and Subway. Although this was used in the first seven seasons, it was not this common.
# There's a lot of overuse of the zoom-in effect to highlight something "dramatic" but just makes it lazy.
#Rather poor and lazy Toon Boom Harmony animation that is a pretty big downgrade from the hand-drawn animation in the first seven seasons, due to it being rather stiff and limited overall. This switch could be from budget cuts as the show was affected heavily by the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, but the point still stands.
#*This is most apparent in episodes animated by Digital eMation (who's the most common animation studio on the show since the HD switchover, with [[Rough Draft Studios]] being a far distant second), where instead of animating something, will often awkwardly pause for a few seconds or instead use a stock image or live-action footage. This is most notable with the karaoke cutaway in "Quagmire's Mom" and Conway Twitty (and also the Hudson brothers in "And Then There’s Fraud"), which is just a pretty lazy way of getting visual production done.
#*Additionally, in several episodes like "Prescription Heroine" or "Cop and a Half-Wit," the show will rip footage from somewhere else but edit a character from the show into it, whether it’ll be their face or the whole character, and the writers and animators seem to think it is much funnier than what it is in reality.
#*The episodes animated by Yearim have slightly better animation since there is more movement and the studio did try their best to make the animation look more expressive, but even then, it's still limited.
#MacFarlane originally wanted the show to end, but Fox forced him to keep it going. On that note, he still can use veto scripts allowing the series' downfall, likely due to his apathy toward the series (MacFarlane was frustrated with Fox for how they aired three episodes behind his back during the 2007-08 Writers' Guild strike, likely explaining it).
#*The show often makes incompetent and petty jabs at Fox's other cartoon, ''Bob's Burgers'', even joking it was animated in a moving car. It's clear to everyone that this is purely out of jealousy, spite, and incompetence because ''Bob's Burgers'' actually has a few Emmys more than how ''Family Guy'' has ever obtained.
#The DVDs have various deleted scenes, some of which were cut from the episode for being "unfunny". Still, in the case of "Brian's a Bad Father", they cut a scene of Brian talking to his son Dylan in favor of unfunny cutaways, including one where Peter wants to "cut" himself with a knife.
# The conflict in most episodes is extremely forced. For example, in "A Shot in the Dark" when Peter accidentally shoots Cleveland Jr., Cleveland accuses him of ''racism'' completely out of nowhere.
#Some of the songs are crude and offensive, such as "The Canadian Nudie Bars" and "Tinder Is Gross" (while they're pretty good and catchy songs).
#The episode "Run, Chris, Run" used two videos of the NES games ''Double Dribble'' and ''Tecmo Bowl'' without the permission of the original owners, and Fox took down the originals in an attempt to cover their tracks. They were eventually re-uploaded, but the damage was already done.
#It often jumps the shark numerous times as an attempt to gain more viewers that are mostly nothing but rating traps, namely in Lifeguard Meg where both Peter and Meg "kissed" each other on the lips despite Meg being Peter's daughter and is nothing but incest, and Life of Brian where Brian gets run over by a car but only a few episodes later get revived by Stewie with Time Travel which ruined the impact of his death and made it seem like it was only a step-up and that's it, and in another episode called "Brian Griffin's House of Payne", Chris and Meg severely injure Stewie's head, and it gets worse when Peter gets involved. To add fuel to the fire, he makes it look as if Lois ran him over and they both decide to hide it until November! '''Outstanding parents am I right?'''
#*This proves how much 20th Century Fox didn't care about the show's fanbase and instead only cared about milking the show for all it's worth, which went against Seth's wishes since he wanted the show to end, but Fox only saw Family Guy as a cash-cow thus why the show kept jumping the shark multiple times just as a ratings trap strategy to gain more viewers and ignore criticism they've received over the years.
#In June 2020, the protests of George Floyd pressured Mike Henry to step down from voicing Cleveland, which comes off as hypocritical because the show's writers consistently insert racist jokes.
#The show often contains scenes of animal abuse too, like when Brian gets shot and killed by Joe while reimagined as Jay Gatsby, later stabbed to death by Peter while reimagined as a pig and crushed as a puppy by Chris in "High School English," Brian mauling a baby squirrel to death in "Boys & Squirrels", Peter eviscerating a beached whale with a forklift in "Peter Problems," and Brian getting run over by a car in "Life of Brian". And Quagmire beats the daylights out of Brian in "Quagmire's Dad."
#While the character designs are still good and have very few changes, some of them look disturbing, like Brian and Stewie's hybrid children, Brian without fur, and when a character dies.
#There are recently too many episodes that are just parodies/plagiarizing popular fiction or events, and even rehash episodes from the previous seven seasons such as "Grimm Job" (season 12), "High School English" (season 15), "Heart Burn" and "Holly Bibble" (season 18), "Tales of Former Sports Glory" (season 19), "Rock Hard" and "HBO-No" (season 20), "Oscars Guy" (season 21) and "Love Story Guy" (season 21) While these episodes are not all bad, the concept has gotten pretty unoriginal at this point.
#These seasons have zero continuity with older seasons as many events from the first seven seasons are never mentioned, and the show keeps changing the continuity that disregards any past events and retools them for no apparent reason. This is likely due to these seasons having a different writing team than the first seven seasons that didn't have much involve with those previous seven seasons and had the nerve to put whatever they wanted into the show, which makes these seasons feel more like fanfiction rather than true seasons of Family Guy. An example is Brian's mom, who is only mentioned a few times but Brian's backstory has now been changed and she looks nothing like she did in one of the flashbacks for the newer seasons as she did in Road to Rhode Island, looking more like a quadruple female version of Brian instead of a regular Labrador in the aforementioned episode.
#*Another example is Peter's Two Dads, which is also never mentioned and has been retconned in Peter's Sister for no reason, and after that episode, Mickey McFinnigan is never mentioned in the entire show once again nor does he ever appear to make actual appearances in the show itself, which is an example of why these seasons feel more like fanfiction rather than official seasons of the show itself.
#*Heck, the first three seasons never get acknowledged by the newer seasons nor are they ever referenced at all, since most of the events that happened in them are retconned or just used as nostalgia pandering, which shows how little the new writing team cares about the show as a whole and Seth in general, who made the show as an extension of his talent and cared about what he wanted to make and show the world that he can be a funny guy, which is something that the writing team behind the newer seasons ignore and instead insert their ideas into the show as they like, thus explaining why these seasons feel more like fanfiction and not the show it once was.
#In general, it tries ''way'' too hard to seem "edgy" and "cool", when it always falls flat and resorts to nothing but pointless shock humor and sex jokes (ex. Peter killing multiple animals and Quagmire being a child molester). It even at times feels like a significantly less funny, less raunchy, less vulgar, and less charming ''South Park'' knockoff.
#'''Continuity errors and plot holes''':
#*For example, "Peter's Sister" reveals that Peter has an older sister called Karen, despite it being established in the tenth episode of Season 5 "Peter's Two Dads" that Peter was born from an affair with his mom and a drunken Irish man called "Mickey McFinnigan" which meant that Peter was an only child since his parents only met for a day and didn't spend much time with each other since Thelma wasn't pleased with having sex with a drunken Irish man and went to Mexico to get an abortion and later gave birth to Peter that day.
#*In "Old World Harm" while a good episode overall, the subplot revealed that Brian had a bad childhood when he took a shower, even though he was seen taking a shower before in the season 4 episode "Patriot Games".
#**To add insult to injury, in the same episode. Brian was said to be kicked out of the Griffin Home onto the streets despite his first interaction with them was meeting Peter.
#Despite the show's TV-14 rating, this show isn't even appropriate for teens anymore due to its overuse of sex jokes and graphic violence. The content would fit much better for a TV-MA rating, which is not new since some episodes have received that rating on rare occasions.
#* However, the series was rated 15 in the UK and an MA15+ in Australia, which is equivalent to a TV-MA rating in the US.
#In conclusion, these seasons destroyed the overall reputation of ''Family Guy'' to the point where many people started to consider ''Family Guy'' in general as one of the worst animated sitcoms of all time, and these seasons even caused the entire show itself as a whole to get hated by some too. The problems that these seasons have are so bad that the ratings have started to decrease fast, due to how many fans decided to quit watching the series altogether and also due to fewer people wanting to watch it after the decline in quality, yet Fox is '''still airing the show to this day''' due to it being considered their "[[The Cash Cow|cash cow]]", despite the declining ratings.
# The 2012 licensed tie-in video game based on the "Back to the Multiverse" episode is mediocre.
# Concluding from this, all the reasons above, it started the Dark Ages of Adult Animation thanks to the Airing of Season 8 of Family Guy.

#Some guest stars including Ryan Reynolds, Sean Penn, Liam Neeson, David Thewlis, Jimmy Connors, Alan Bennett, Tom Hiddleston, and Cate Blanchett are very great in the show, with Cate Blanchett listed as one of the best ''Family Guy'' guest stars to date as she gives a great voice performance as Penelope and even had a voice cameo as the late Queen Elizabeth II.
#Some characterizations are still done right:
##Even though Stewie was flanderized, his flanderization wasn't very severe compared to all the other characters who were flanderized since season 8 he remains the most likable and enjoyable character in the show to date.
##*You could also see his flanderization as character development in a way since Stewie is no longer evil and has changed his ways.
##*Speaking of Stewie, he and Brian have an awesome, believable friendship, and they are usually the main highlight of episodes involving the two.
##Meg, during seasons 8-15, is sometimes tolerable, even if she is still a punching bag. She has redeemed herself since season 16, has gained her original personality back in most episodes, and is a far less punching bag now, making her likable again, similar to the first seven seasons. She's often seen as one of the good characters since season 16 that stayed good even when the show got worse.
##Around season 14, the Griffin family (namely Peter, Stewie, and Chris) finally reconcile with Meg, so there have been far fewer Meg torture gags.
##Mayor Adam West was still a funny character, although his voice actor of the same name sadly passed away in 2017. His cousin Wild West is a fairly fun new character too, and is voiced by Sam Elliot, who he's modeled after.
##Bruce is still a likable and funny character and one of the only nice characters on the show.
##Ollie Williams is still a funny character as always.
##Consuela is still a hilarious gag character and her catchphrase "No, no..." never gets old, although she seemingly had been retired from the show after season 19 (likely due to Mike Henry resigning as the voice of Cleveland, he probably also wanted to stop voicing Consuela as well).
## Carter Pewterschmidt could be seen as likable, even despite his arrogant and mean-spirited nature, as not only does he have many hilarious moments and lines, but he also has an understandable reason for disliking Peter due to his stupidity, and he does have a certain "love to hate" charm factor about him as well, due to his fairly entertaining personality.
##There are a few memorable and interesting one-time characters too, such as Natalia from the episode "Nanny Goats" and Tiny Tom Cruise from the episode "Big Trouble in Little Quahog."
##Though Cleveland was also flanderized in ''[[The Cleveland Show]]'', he did improve himself in seasons 2-4 of his spin-off and when he moved back to Quahog in season 12, he went back to his original personality, thus making himself likable again (apart from some episodes like "A Shot in the Dark").
##Whilst Joe was also flanderized, his flanderization wasn't as severe as the other characters who were flanderized and he did slightly improve in season 11 and started to revert to his original personality.
##While Chris was also flanderized, he didn't see too much decline in his character since he wasn't flanderized into becoming psychotic like the rest of the Griffin family was, and he still kept most of his likable charm.
##* On a side note, Chris has also begun to interact more with Stewie and have full conversations with him, which is good so that Brian is not the only member of the Griffin family to understand Stewie.
## Even the more flanderized characters such as Peter, Lois, Brian, and Quagmire can still have their more likable and original personalities in some episodes.
##* Starting with Season 21, they’re slightly reverting to their original personalities except for Peter (who sadly still acts as childish as he does in the previous modern seasons).
##* There some characters who were not flanderized. Stewie, Joe, Ollie, Mort, Muriel, Carter, Carl, Chris, and others they were not flanderized in season 8 to onwards.
#The newer episodes can sometimes have their funny moments, such as Cleveland's bathtub gag or Quagmire's gags.
#* In fact, there's a decently funny running gag in "The Blind Side," where Peter repeatedly falls down new stairs that Lois bought, while swearing outrageously.
#The musical score is still good most of the time:
#*Some songs are also good and catchy, such as "A Wonderful Day for Pie," "Friendship is the Best Thing Ever," "Down Syndrome-Girl" (despite it taking three minutes of the episode), "Republican Town," "All I Want For Christmas This Year," "Christmastime Is Killing Us," "Mr. Booze" (though it wasn't written for the show and took three minutes of the episode, it's still a great song sung by the cast), "Thank the Whites," "Candy Quahog Marshmallow," "Frank Sinatra's Restaurant," and "Tinder Is Gross" (despite being offensive).
#*Even some of the licensed songs are still good
#Despite the voice acting being annoying for some characters like Lois, it's still great for everyone else, especially Peter, Stewie, Brian, and Quagmire, which is impressive since they are all voiced by MacFarlane, the show's creator.
#* Cleveland's new voice actor, Arif Zahir, does a really good job at sounding like Mike Henry, even before he got his role on the show. His impression can be heard when he was doing gameplay on YouTube.
#**This is mainly because many of the cast and crew still haven't changed.
#The action scenes are still decent, such as the fights between Peter and Ernie, and the Giant Chicken, despite being generic and overused.
#Much like ''[[The Simpsons (seasons 1-10, 32-present)|The Simpsons]]'', it at least pays tribute to dead members of the cast and crew like Doug Lackey, Carrie Fisher, Adam West, and Gilbert Gottfried.
#Seasons 8, 9, 11, 15, 16, 20, and 21 are usually considered the least bad of these seasons and are considered average by fans.
#* In all fairness, Season 8 is not as bad and may be considered average, because the show's many flaws weren't as present in this season compared to later ones, and there are still many good/decent episodes, particularly in the first half. It wasn't until "Peter-assment" where the seasonal rot truly kicked in and became more noticeable.
#* Season 9, along with the previous season, could be considered the best out of all the seasons featured here, since it has transitioned to HD pretty well, the characters aren't flanderized as much as in the other seasons, and there are a bit more good episodes.
#* Season 11 is a slight improvement over Season 10, mainly because it doesn't have a notoriously bad episode.
#*Seasons 15 and 16 are slight improvements over seasons 12-14 as Meg has gotten her original personality back and her role as a punching bag has gotten toned down. Plus, season 16 is noted for being very experimental by the standards of this show.
#*Seasons 20 and 21 are slight improvements over seasons 17-19 as these seasons contain a lot of references to the earlier seasons. Some fans have even said that season 21, in particular, may be considered a '''major''' improvement over seasons 8-20, as the show is starting to show major signs of improvement and the flanderized characters are starting to revert to their original personalities, but even season 21 still was not enough to save the show as the animation is still a downgrade from seasons 1-5 and to a lesser extent seasons 6 and 7, as well as the jokes still being unfunny as typical season 18 onwards is. But only time will tell if ''Family Guy'' will finally fully recover from its seasonal rot/dark ages/downfall like how ''The Simpsons'' and ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' were able to. Sadly, Season 22 was a massive downgrade from Season 21 and has more bad episodes that have garnered infamy amongst viewers (namely the episode where Meg and Peter literally "'''kiss'''" each other on the lips which shall be reminded was meant to be CPR.) just like before, meaning that the show itself will never reclaim the former glory it once had.
#**To a lesser extent, while Season 10 is considered bad by many fans for containing some of the worst episodes, it does contain some really good episodes that are listed above, which does make it considered average by some.
#While the animation has been downgraded, the backgrounds are a step up from previous seasons.
#*Likewise, the animation is good in some respects, especially in "Peterminator," "Back to the Pilot," "Chap Stewie,", most episodes animated by Yearim Productions, etc.
#Some of the cutaways and scenes are funny, memorable, and/or touching:
##The cutaway in "Disney's The Reboot" in which only Chris sings the ''Family Guy'' theme song for a potential reboot called ''Family Guy Again'' is great.
##The cutaway scene where Stewie watches ''[[Caillou]]'' in "Stewie's First Word" was funny and even pointed out the flaws of that show. Not to mention the cutaway scene in the same episode where Peter sits with Caillou's dad was quite touching and it also managed to translate the art style from ''Caillou'' very well into Family Guy's style.
##The episode "Peter & Lois' Wedding" has a hilarious scene in which Beavis and Butt-Head (voiced by Mike Judge) cameo.
##Ditto for the cold open of the episode "Bigfat" (which was originally made for "April in Quahog") with characters from ''American Dad!'' and even ''King of the Hill'', the latter of which ended in 2010.
## Sometimes, simple ideas for cutaways for the show can sometimes have hilarious executions, such as the cutaway in "Bri, Robot" that involves Joe Swanson listening to ''Tubthumping'' by Chumbawamba while continually saying "Oh no!" after the lyric "I get knocked down!" and "Yeah!" after the lyric "But I get up again!".
## There's also the now infamously memetic cutaway in "Scammed Yankees" where Carter sings a parody of Jamiroquai's "Virtual Insanity" whilst parodying the structure of that song's music video which is pretty hilarious and clever.
# Some episodes can teach good life lessons/morals.
# The video, "[[Family Guy COVID-19 Vaccine Awareness]]" is a pretty interesting PSA.
# Some episodes like "Screams of Silence: The Story Of Brenda Q", despite being bad, take themselves very seriously and even have some funny jokes here and there.
# To be fair, there are some, if not many, people who prefer this era of ''Family Guy'' over the first seven seasons, hence it still has a considerable cult following. There are even people who like '''both''' eras of the show regardless.
# The DVD posters are nice to look at.
# Despite the jokes being even more unfunny since season 18, atleast starting with that season, the violence has been toned down, along with the jerkass tendecies (despite the characters still being flanderized).

==Reception==
While the first five seasons were well received, the sixth-seventh seasons had mixed to positive reception, seasons 8-present received an extremely polarizing reception by the majority of critics, audiences, and fans alike, but have slowly started to become more negative in later years. Criticism was primarily directed at its mean-spirited moments, the flanderization of the characters, over-usage of shock humor, an abundance of bad episodes, etc. As a result, many fans have stopped watching the series altogether because of how worse it has gotten, and this led to it having low ratings. PhantomStrider also ranked this era as #1 on his videos "Top 10 Worst Modern Cartoons" and "Top 6 Cartoons That Got Bad". He also considers the show to be his worst example of seasonal rot and he also claimed that very few cartoons deserve to be cancelled other than ''Family Guy'' as much as it does.{{citation needed}}

}}<tabber>1={{quote|This was a show that originally had a lot of talent behind it, and to some extent that talent is still there. I just don't think it's being properly utilized, because they're trying to do things with the show that it was not designed to work with. In the end, we were all fools, deceived by a man's reputation and career even though he was a Nickelodeon showrunner, so something had to be up behind the scenes. And the people following the hype of YouTubers without thinking for themselves made the problem exponentially worse. You could probably tell that this video isn't my most sophisticated or... fuck it, I guess it's not filled with much content. That kind of explains just how much I have to say about the show because it really can just be summarized to a few key points. I guess I do better when there are more things to rip into to explain why something is bad, but for The Loud House, there isn't much to explain. Its flaws are in plain sight.|Cartoonshi|"The Painful Decline of ''The Loud House''"<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UDPZwKCSYc</ref>}}|-|2={{quote|You know that trope you hear all the time "only the creator does it right"? People will say it when shows start going downhill, like SpongeBob did when Stephen Hillenburg left, or the Simpsons when Matt Groening moves on to Futurama. And there definitely is some logic to it; except in cases where the more involvement the creator has, the worse the show is, like with Danny Phantom. Usually, the creator has the most pure understanding of their work. They've known it the longest, and can understand its strengths better than anyone else? The problem, of course, is that this trope doesn't just apply to good people. Let me be absolutely clear here. No show on earth excuses anything that Chris Savino did. Nickelodeon was absolutely right to remove him. That being said, since Chris Savino's departure, the show has gone downhill heavily. I'd imagine it's because Nickelodeon itself has gotten its tendrils into it deeply, and is doing its Nickelodeon thing: spin-offs, extra episodes, a live-action s-- A LIVE-ACTION SPECIAL??!! You're serious!! Really, we're doing this again??!!|MrEnter|Animated Atrocities 189: No Such Luck [''The Loud House'']<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-pp1va0tDw</ref>}}</tabber>'''''[[:w:The Loud House|The Loud House]]''''' is an American animated television series created by Chris Savino. It premiered on Nickelodeon on May 2, 2016, and is still airing new episodes to this day. [[The Loud House (seasons 1-3)|While the first three seasons were good in general, especially the second]], the fourth season onwards were criticized by critics and audiences for several reasons. The fifth season is known to be the season where the show officially jumped the shark. Late Season 6 onwards (despite still being problematic) did slightly better, especially after Leni got her driver's license.
==Plot==
===Pre-Movie Era (seasons 1-4)===
Lincoln Loud is an accident-prone 11-year-old boy who lives with ten sisters. Lincoln finds new ways to survive in such a large family every day. He has ten sisters with distinctive personalities consisting of bossy eldest child Lori, ditzy fashionista Leni, musician Luna, comedian Luan, athletic Lynn Jr., gloomy poetic goth Lucy, polar opposite twins Lana and Lola, child genius Lisa, and baby Lily.
To avoid problems and to be loved by his sisters, Lincoln continually devises plans to make his life in the Loud House better, without his parents finding out.
===Post-Movie Era (seasons 5-present)===
In the fifth season, the Loud siblings aged up a year with Lori going to Fairway University, Lincoln going to middle school, and Lily going to preschool.
==Why It's Way Too Loud Nowadays==
#The main problem is that these lack many of the same charm as the first three seasons, though season 1 also shares many the issues mentioned. This is because the show's creator, Chris Savino, was no longer in charge due to being fired from Nickelodeon for sexual harassment allegations in 2017 when the third season was still in production. While Nickelodeon had every right to fire him, it still doesn't change the fact that the series went downhill after season 3.
#*It doesn't help with the fact that the fifth season sped up the decline of the show, and is also considered the worst season of the entire series, because of how it showed so much bad character change, and that it also made the show hardly able to recover from its dark ages with its premiere, "[[Schooled! (The Loud House)|Schooled!]]", where '''Lincoln is forced to go to a middle school in Canada, due to how he had way too much unnecessary amounts of torture.'''
#*To make matters worse, as if ''[[A Loud House Christmas]]'' and ''[[The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder]]'' weren't enough, they announced a '''live-action TV show''' named ''[[The Really Loud House]]'', showing how milked this franchise is. Despite ''The Really Loud House'' being a good show, ''The Loud House'' was still being milked to the extreme by then.
#Much like [[Family Guy (seasons 8-present)|the Toon-Boom animated seasons of ''Family Guy'']], the writing has become mostly bad to mediocre as the show often recycles and rehashes episodes from the previous seasons, many times even from other TV shows and movies, and books, despite most of the rehashes being good or decent and many of the Season 1 episodes were also bad. Many of the writers also rarely, if ever, seem to show any respect for the show’s fans, although these seasons are generally considered better than [[The Fairly OddParents (seasons 9 & 10)|the final two seasons of ''The Fairly OddParents'']]. While this could be due to the writers running out of ideas, it can become way too repetitive at times. Even more, baffling is that, unlike most other cartoons that experience seasonal rot, ''The Loud House'' '''wasn't even five years old''' sometime in its fourth season premiered, proving how limited storytelling ideas have become with this series. Here is a complete list of the rehashed and/or recycled episode plots:
##The season 4 premiere, "Friended! with the Casagrandes", while good, is a rehash of season 3's "White Hare" and "Be Stella My Heart". Lincoln and his friend gang are replaced by Ronnie Anne, where the Casagrandes family, Sid Chang (who makes her first appearance in this episode as a minor recurring character in the show and later became a main character in the [[The Casagrandes|spin-off series]]), Mr. Scully (who makes his debut in this episode and later became a recurring character in the spin-off series) and Royal Woods elementary school is replaced with the Casagrandes apartment.
##"Power Play with the Casagrandes", while better than The Green House, is still a rehash of season 1's "[[The Green House (The Loud House)|The Green House]]". Lincoln and his family, except for Lori, are also indeed truly replaced by Ronnie Anne and her family, and this time, it is Sergio who causes the energy to go down. The Loud house is also replaced by the Casagrandes apartment.
##"Room for Improvement with the Casagrandes", while good, is a rehash of season 3's "Pipe Dreams". Rita, Lynn Sr., and the Loud family are replaced by Ronnie Anne, Sid, and the Casagrandes apartment residents. In addition, The Loud house is replaced by the Casagrandes apartment.
##"No Show with the Casagrandes", while it can be better than Sound Of Silence, is a rehash of season 1's "Sound of Silence". Lincoln and his family are replaced by Ronnie Anne and her family and the Casagrandes appeasement. In addition, the Noise-B-Gone 2000 is replaced by a fictional TV show called Adios Ana, Adios.
##"Lucha Fever with the Casagrandes", while it can be okay, is a rehash of season 1's "One Flu Over the Loud House" and "Tough Hooky" from The Loud House graphic novel ''Family Tree'', as both episodes involve sickness, and "Tough Hooky" also revolves around Ronnie Anne faking sick in order to get out of doing something. Lincoln, his family, and Clyde are replaced with Ronnie Anne, her family, and Sid, and the Loud house is replaced with the Casagrandes apartment.
##"A Mutt Above", while good, is a rehash of season 1's "Toads and Tiaras", as both episodes also do have someone also indeed trying to make someone very unsophisticated into a more proper person. Lana replaces Lincoln. Lana is also replaced by Charles. Lana is also the trainer instead of the trainee. Coincidentally, both episodes also star Lana in them.
##"Last Loud on Earth", while it can be decent, is a rehash combination of season 1's "The Price of Admission", season 2's "Mall of Duty", and season 4's "Washed Up", as both the first latter episode has Lincoln watching a scary movie despite the fact that his parents told him not to, and both the second and third latter episodes have Lincoln using Colonel Austin's methods of surviving a zombie apocalypse that is similar to Lincoln's attempts of using his Rip Hardcore methods in the second and third latter episodes. This episode, however, has a scary theme, rather than "The Price of Admission", and Harold and Howard are added in. The Royal Woods movie theater is replaced with the Royal Woods mall. Not to speak of, it's the '''sixth''' Lincoln-centered episode in season 4.
##"[[Stall Monitor (The Loud House)|Stall Monitor]]" is a rehash combination of season 1's "Raw Deal", season 3's "White Hare", and season 3's "Predict Ability", as both "Raw Deal" have Lincoln going paranoid over nothing, and all of these episodes have Lincoln going paranoid. Grand Venture State Park is replaced with Royal Woods Elementary School, and additionally, Lincoln's friends are added in. And that episode cannot be much better either. Not to speak of, it's the '''seventh''' Lincoln-centered episode in season 4.
##"[[A Pimple Plan (The Loud House)|A Pimple Plan]]" is very similar to season 3's "Stage Plight", the comic book "Hiccup Hijinks" from Live Life Loud!, and the ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants (seasons 6-8)|SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' episode "[[Barnacle Face (SpongeBob SquarePants)|Barnacle Face]]". Both "Barnacle Face" and "A Pimple Plan" involve someone trying to get something similar. Both "Stage Plight" and "A Pimple Plan" involve Luan being insecure about her love relationship with Benny, with those being shyness and pimple, where she does try to get closer to him, but keeps on stalling him due to her insecurity. In the end, Benny also tells her she doesn't need to be afraid of anything. Both "Hiccup Hijinks" and "A Pimple Plan" involve someone trying to get rid of something. Royal Woods high school, though it is mentioned, is replaced with the Loud house and Tall Timbers park. Also, in both episodes, Mr. Coconuts and Mrs. Appleblossom are briefly living puppets. Additionally, Luan's siblings are added, and there is no theatre club; Amy, Leo, Lyberti, Paravana, Rex, Ruby, Shannon, Spencer, teen girl, unnamed punk girl, Jackie, and Errol, nor Mrs. Bernardo.

##The first episode to premiere in 2022, "[[Appetite for Destruction (The Loud House)|Appetite for Destruction]]" is a rehash of season 5's "Training Day", as both episodes involve a little, and, subjectively, the cute character becoming angry, where they do cause massive destruction. Jazzy is replaced with Lily, there are no Lincoln's friends, and there is no El Diablo, Walt, Bitey, Izzy, Hops, and Cliff. Scoots and Mrs. Shuttleworth are added in.

Both episodes do indeed involve something similar. Both "Don't You Fore-get About Me", "Saved by the Spell", and "Don't Escar-Go" involve someone trying and wanting to sabotage someone from succeeding in their dream, because the main character wants them to stay home in Royal Woods.

That episode can also not be much better either.
##The season 6 episode "Present Danger", in production order, despite not stealing any elements from the previous seasons, while it can be decent, is a rehash combination of the ''James Bond'' franchise, as this episode pays as a big homage to the franchise. The original title for this episode is ''You Only Gift Twice'' is a reference to the 1967 ''James Bond'' movie called ''You Only Live Twice''. The scene where Lincoln is in a David Steele costume is similar to the iconic ''James Bond'' opening. Lynn Sr.'s preference for his milkshake, which is "shaken, not stirred", is similar to James Bond's preference for his martinis. Lincoln's character as David Steele is a reference to the titular James Bond character himself. Cue Stick's character is a reference to Q, James Bond's weapons expert. Rusty being dressed up as the villain is a reference to the main antagonist of the James Bond franchise named Ernesto Stavro Blofeld, who is best known for stroking a cat in each of his appearances. Lincoln's friends being dressed up as different ''David Steele'' villains are references to these ''James Bond'' villains. Golden Toe is a reference to Goldfinger, and he is the main antagonist of the movie of the same name. Blowfish is a reference to Osato, who is a villain in ''You Only Live Twice''. Patty Whack is a reference to Emilio Largo, who is the main antagonist of ''Thunderball''.

However, this episode's concept of ghosts is role-reversed almost all of the time, as the Mortician's Club almost always gets rid of the ghosts instead of sucking them up with vacuum cleaners. Peter is replaced with Lucy, the rest of the ''Ghostbusters'' team is replaced with the Mortician's club, Mr. Grouse, Lady Emmeline, who makes her first appearance in this episode, Spirit Boris, who makes his first appearance in this episode, Mr. Spokes, the ghost that is destroying his Duds for Dudes store from "Back Out There", Liam, Dolly, who makes his first appearance in this episode, Cheryl, Meryl, the ghost that also does keep on changing Cheryl and Meryl's favorite show called ''Southern Housewives'' to ''Hisper Island'', Buzz, who makes his first appearance in this episode, Scoots, Tyler, Lynn Sr., and Flip are added in, where all of the ''Ghostbusters'' characters are replaced with ''The Loud House'' characters.

Not to mention, it's the '''sixth''' Lincoln centered episode in season 6, the '''fifth''' Lincoln and the gang centered episode in season 6, and the '''fourth''' Lisa centered episode in season 6, implying how nearly repetitive this show was at the time for being the '''fifth''' Lincoln and the gang centered episode in season 6 as mentioned earlier. That episode can also not be much better either.
##"A Bug's Strife", while good, is a rehash combination of old classic cartoons like the ''[[Tom and Jerry (Hanna Barbera era)|T]][[Tom and Jerry (CinemaScope era, 1955-1958)|o]][[Tom and Jerry (Gene Deitch era, 1961-1962)|m]] [[Tom and Jerry (Chuck Jones era, 1963-1967)|a]][[The Tom and Jerry Show (1975)|n]][[The Tom and Jerry Comedy Show|d]] [[Tom & Jerry Kids|J]][[Tom and Jerry Tales|e]][[The Tom and Jerry Show (2014)|rry]]'' franchise and the ''[[Herman and Katnip]]'' franchise, season 1's "Two Boys and a Baby", season 1's "Raw Deal", season 1's "One Flu over the Loud House", season 2's "[[No Such Luck (The Loud House)|No Such Luck]]", season 3's "Ruthless People", season 4's "Lucha Fever with the Casagrandes", season 4's "Purrfect Gig", ''The Casagrandes'' season 1's "Cursed!", and the end of the second half of season 5's "Diamonds Are for Never". Both old cartoons like the ''Tom and Jerry'' franchise, the ''Herman and Katnip'' franchise, and "A Bug's Strife" involve classic torture slapstick humor. Both "Two Boys and a Baby" and "A Bug's Strife", as both episodes involve one of the Loud family members succeeding in not going to Aunt Ruth's house because they hate it, face their own personal but comical and funny trouble, where they eventually hilariously go to Aunt Ruth's house at the end. Both "Raw Deal", "No Such Luck", "Cursed!", and "A Bug's Strife" involve something similar, where both the latter episode and the fourth aforementioned episode have one of the Louds lying so they can have free time for own self getting locked out of the house, except there is no supposed "bad luck". Both "Ruthless People" and "A Bug's Strife" involve something similar happening to the titular Loud House place.

##"Sofa, So Good" is a rehash combination of season 1's "[[Come Sale Away (The Loud House)|Come Sale Away]]", season 4's "Any Given Sundae", and season 4's "[[House Flip (The Loud House)|House Flip]]". Both "Come Sale Away" and "Any Given Sundae" involve the Loud kids losing the furniture, however, unlike the former episode, in which they purposely sold the titular Loud House's furniture and got rid of almost everything in the place, they accidentally lost it here and do not get rid of anything else in the house. Both "Any Given Sundae" and "Sofa, So Good" involve Rita and Lynn Sr. getting the Loud siblings a big reward for behaving well. However, unlike that former episode, where their misbehaviors go unnoticed by the parents, their misbehaviors get discovered, however, the Loud kids are still rewarded regardless. Both "[[House Flip (The Loud House)|House Flip]]" involve the Loud siblings causing damage by accident, where they try to fix it without Rita and Lynn Sr.'s knowledge out of fear of losing something. However, while the Loud siblings still get punished at the end (despite being a light punishment), in "House Flip", they are fully rewarded in the episode, and in the end, the Loud siblings funnily get a new couch which looks exactly like the old couch. There is no Lori due to her indeed also really truly attending college now, where Todd, Mr. Grouse, Dom (who is Flip and makes his first appearance in this episode) Mr. Bolhofner, Meryl, Cheryl, El Diablo, the Auctioneer (which makes his first appearance in this episode), Nacho, Scoots, and Tyler are added in.

(The Loud House)|Time Trap!]]" is a rehash combination of the ''[[Back to the Future|Back]] [[Back to the Future Part II|to the]] [[Back to the Future Part III|Future]]'' franchise, ''The Fairly OddParents'' episodes "Father Time!" and "[[It's a Wishful Life (The Fairly OddParents)|It's a Wishful Life]]" and the ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants (seasons 6-8)|SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' episodes "SB-129" and "Back to the Past". Both the first ''Back to the Future'' movie and "Time Trap!" also involve someone(s) changing their Mom and Dad's past, where they have to fix their actions or unfortunately, they will disappear forever. Coincidentally, one of Lincoln's lines that he says to Lisa, "'''You built a time machine out of Vanzilla'''". is a reference to one of Marty McFly's lines that he says to Doc, "'''Doc, are you telling me that you built a time machine out of a DeLorean?'''". Both ''Back to the Future Part II'', ''Back to the Future Part III'', and "Time Trap!" involve similar time-traveling as well. Both "Father Time!" and "Time Trap!" involve someone destroying their parents' trophied possessions, where they figure out the first and only way to fix that big problem is to go back in time to stop them from getting that gift.

That episode is also not much better either.
##"Puns and Buns", while good, is a rehash of season 4's "Can't Hardly Wait", as both episodes involve a Loud sibling getting a job at a restaurant, and starts working there as a result, where it's because they want to spend time with someone that they want to be with, however, unfortunately, they don't do tasks the right where they also do indeed get bounced around to different jobs (waiter/kitchen worker/valet/manager/food worker/Burpin' Burger sign spinner where she dresses up Tippy the Cow from Dairyland because of her dressing up as him before in "Stressed for the Part") the same restaurant. However, due to that, one of the characters wants the Loud sibling to get fired from the restaurant, only for that character to change their mind by wanting the Loud sibling to have a different job at the restaurant. However, unlike "Can't Hardly Wait", Lori wants to quit her job working at Lynn's Table, Andre (who makes his first appearance in this episode) wants Luan to get fired from her job at the Burpin' Burger because of her inappropriate behavior. Lori is replaced with Benny, there is no Lisa, Kotaro, Biker (who makes his first appearance in this episode), T-Bone, Biker Woman, Principal Huggins, Cheryl, Scoots, Rita, Grant, a Background woman, the man who Leni thinks is Lynn Sr. from "Job Insecurity", and Flip, where Andre, Otis (who makes his first appearance in this episode), Renee's mother, Tippy, a younger recolored version of Unnamed Teammate #3, Mr. Coconuts, Mr. Grouse, and background characters are added in. There is no the titular Loud House place, Fairway University, and Lynn's Table, where Lynn's Table is replaced with the Burpin' Burger, and Dairyland (on a picture on Benny's phone only that has Luan dressed up in her Tippy costume from the aforementioned "Stressed for the Part" episode as she surprises Benny at his job there selling popcorn on the weekends are added in. Not to speak of, it's the '''fourth''' and final Luan-centered episode and the '''twelfth''' Lynn Sr.-centered episode in season 6, implying how nearly repetitive this show was at the time.
##"Crashed Course" is a rehash of Season 4's "[[Don't You Fore-Get About Me (The Loud House)|Don't You Fore-Get About Me]]" (which is no better), but instead of being Leni the one that ruins Lori's college career, all the Louds ruin it.
##The season 6b premiere "Lights, Camera, Nuclear Reaction" in terms of production order, while good, is a rehash combination of the ''James Bond'' franchise and ''[[Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2]]''. Both ''Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2'' involve Todd/Chip Micro using holograms of himself to confuse Lincoln with a remote as it is in the same manner as this movie. David Steele is replaced with Lincoln, where Clyde, Todd, Chip Micro (who makes his first appearance as the main antagonist of this episode in Lincoln and Clyde's home-made unofficial David Steele movie, Mr. Reinforced Titanium Alloy Arms, Flip, Lisa, Nacho, Flip's yellow inflatable, Leni (shown in flashbacks only), Luna (shown in flashbacks only), Lori (shown in flashbacks only), Lana (shown in flashbacks only), Lily (shown in flashbacks only), Lucy (shown in flashbacks only), Lynn (shown in flashbacks only), Lola, Mr. Sprinkles, Eunice are added in, where all of the ''James Bond'' characters are replaced with ''The Loud House'' characters.

Not to speak of, it's the '''sixteenth''' Lincoln centered episode in season 6, the '''fourteenth''' Lisa centered episode in season 6, the '''fourth''' Clyde centered episode in season 6, and the '''eleventh''' Todd centered episode in season 6, implying how nearly repetitive this show was at the time.
##The season 6b premiere "Food Courting", while good, is a rehash combination of the ''James Bond'' franchise, the 1989 teen romantic comedy film called ''Say Anything...'', and ''The Casagrandes'' season 3's "Squawk in the Name of Love". Both ''Say Anything...'' and "Food Courting" involve a scene where someone (Lloyd/Gavin) tries to carol their love interest (Diane/Leni) in the aforementioned movie, which is identical to the scene in the movie where Lloyd tries to carol Diane in this movie, where this scene in numerous other media ever since that movie's release. Lloyd is replaced with Gavin (who makes his first appearance in this episode after being Leni's fourth love interest after Chaz, the Cowlick boy from "Undercover Mom", and Scott from ''The Loud House Movie''), Diane is replaced with Miguel and Leni, where all of ''Say Anything...'' characters are replaced with ''The Loud House'' characters. Diane's house is replaced with the titular Loud House. In the plot, Lloyd is replaced with Miguel, where Leni, Tanya, Felix (who makes his first appearance in this episode as Miguel's second crush in the end), Gavin, (who makes his first appearance in this episode as Miguel has a crush on him which reveals that he is gay, eventually Leni's fourth crush in the end), Scoots, Tippy, Charles, and Lynn are added in. Both "Squawk in the Name of Love" and "Food Courting" involve someone taking a friend's advice to get their love interest to love them. Lloyd's house is replaced with the Royal Woods Mall, Reininger's, the tunnel from "Mall of Duty" and "Eye Can't" (coincidentally both "Eye Can't" and "Food Courting" premiered in the United States of America three months before "Eye Can't", where that aforementioned first episode premiered on April 8, 2022, at 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM respectively), Spaghetti on a Stick, Dairyland, Seas o' Cheese, and the titular Loud House are added in.
##"Save the Last Pants", while good, is a rehash combination of season 1's "[[Come Sale Away (The Loud House)|Come Sale Away]]" and season 6's "Sofa, So Good", as both episodes involve a group of characters selling an important object and try real hard to get it back under a time limit, however, unlike the former episode, of which they also did purposely sold the titular Loud House's furniture and getting rid of almost everything in the place, they accidentally lost it here and do not get rid of anything else in the place. There is no Lincoln's blue teddy bear (which makes his first appearance in this episode), Lori (due to her also really indeed truely also attending college now), Lisa, Lynn, Leni, Lana, Lola, Luan, Lucy, Luna, Rita, Lynn Sr., Mrs. Johnson, T-Bone (who makes his first appearance in this episode and becomes a very minor recurring character in the show), El Diablo, one of Lana's unnamed snakes (which makes his first appearance in this episode), Flip (however, he is mentioned in "Save the Last Pants"), where Rusty, Liam, Zach, Stella, Mr. Grouse, Morpheus (this being the second episode where he is shown without the rest of the Mortician's Club and what he does alongside when he is not with Haiku, Boris, Dante, and Persephone), his crow (this being the second episode where he is shown without the rest of the Mortician's Club and what he does alongside when he is not with Haiku, Boris, Dante, and Persephone), Scoots, Tyler, Bernie, Seymour, Ken Mu, a Waiter (who makes his first appearance in this episode), Unnamed woman, Unnamed man, Meryl, Cheryl, and Mick Swagger are added in. There is no the titular Loud House and Flip's Food and Fuel, where Royal Woods Middle School, Duds for Dudes, Gus's Games and Grub, the place where Rodney goes to in Hazletucky (which makes its first appearance in this episode), Sunset Canyon Retirement Home, the Burnt Bean, Banger's and Mosh, Giovanni Changs Italian Chinese Bistro, and the Karokie-Dokie from "Roadie to Nowhere" are added in. Not to speak of it's the '''seventeenth''' Lincoln-centered episode in season 6 and the '''tenth''' Lincoln and the gang-centered episode in season 6. Coincidentally, both "Sofa, So Good" and "Save the Last Pants" are in season 6, where the former episode premiered three months before on April 15, 2022, at 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM, and "Save the Last Pants" premiered three months after the former episode on July 15, 2022.
##"Snow Escape" (while alright) is a rehash of Season 1's "Snow Bored" Both episodes involve Lisa (Snow Bored) and Lynn Jr. (Snow Escape) respectively, involving them going crazy and attacking their siblings with snowballs.
#Many of the characters have been flanderized and lack the original charm for the most part they once had (especially the Loud family):
#*Lincoln himself went from being a kind-hearted "man with the plan" and a very likable character who is respectful to his friends and family into a huge butt-monkey and a punching bag who the world often beats down on. While this was always a problem, it has increased since Season 4. Worst of all, '''Lincoln going through unnecessary torment is always used ''for the sake of laughs''''' and something like that makes you feel like the writers just wanted to express all their unjustified hatred towards him. He also became even more selfish as he started doing more things for the benefit of himself such as in Kings of the Con. He slightly improved in Season 5 and mostly improved in Season 6.
#*Rusty, while still likable, has been slightly flanderized since season 5 into a stupid and selfish boy, who only cares about helping others for his benefit. Examples include "Saved by the Spell", "Zach Attack", "Frame on You", "Don't Escar Go", "All the Rage", etc.
#*#Lincoln's friend group, most notably Clyde and Rusty, has become much more selfish than that of previous seasons. Half of the time when they are in an episode that takes place in the middle school, they usually tend to sacrifice each other's aspirations or talents for their benefit, whether it be all of them (like in "Saved by the Spell" and "Don't Escar Go") or one of them (such as the aforementioned Clyde in "Flying Solo"). Their actions during the season are nearly comparable to what Lincoln was like in most of his episodes in season 4. Starting in season 5, they are no longer classmates with Lincoln because Principal Ramirez does not work out for Lincoln to be assigned to Mrs. Salter's class with them and there's no room left.
#*Leni starting in season 5, went from being an airheaded and naïve yet compassionate, fun-loving, and still clumsy teenage girl to a total idiot who behaves as if she's lost all signs of intelligence, so much so it makes Harry Dunne and Lloyd Christmas from ''Dumb & Dumber'' look like a pair of Einsteins. As of season 6, she has improved herself considerably, especially since in the season 6 episode "Driver's Dread", when she finally got her driver's license and was able to drive the Vanzilla completely after she passed her driving test.
#*Luan, while still likable, became more of a one-dimensional character and most of her episodes mainly focus on her, Benny, and their relationship.
#*Lynn Jr. arguably suffers the worst flanderization as she has reverted into and has completely become an unlikable jerk in season 5, especially in "Schooled!", where she abused the post of the monitor in the hall such as stuffing Lincoln into a locker just because he was running. This makes her a hypocrite, as in the episode "Middle Men", she was worried about Lincoln if he was to get bullied on his first day of middle school. But here, she does the exact thing she was against with Lincoln for no apparent reason other than she is the hall monitor. However, she goes back to her season 3-4 personality by Season 6, as with the rest of the Loud family who have been de-flanderized by then.
#*Lucy, while still likable, just like Lincoln, became more selfish to get what she wanted in seasons 4 and 5:
#*#In "A Grave Mistake", she manipulated Lincoln into joining her club so that she could become the leader of her club.
#*#In "She's All Bat" where she wanted to get rid of Lola just because Lola was stealing her attention. She went as far as '''''forging a document''''' which could've gotten her in big trouble with the school or even suspended.
#*Chandler went from "manipulative asshat" (at worst) to "inconsiderate, apathetic bully" and become more of a bully towards Lincoln and his friends. What makes it worse is that he '''became friends''' with Lincoln in "Jeers for Fears". Starting in season 5, he becomes the main antagonist of the show. He is also skilled at plotting and scheming to torture Lincoln's life by making him get into trouble and miss any fun that he likes.
#*Lisa, while still likable, has become a Lisa Simpson wannabe who only thinks she is in the right but sometimes acts stupid like in House Flip and Time Trap.
#*The rest of the sisters like Lori, Luna, Lana, Lola, and Lily, while still likable, have become background characters since season 5.
#*Mr. Bolhofner went from being a "strict, but fair" retired military man, to a pigsty, a very dim-witted buffoon, and a very mean, sneaky, rude, and crafty madman who hates children and takes his anger out on Lincoln just for sick kicks until he has a change of heart in the near end of "Rumor Has It". On top of that, he's not working hard, as a teacher, due to his utter stupidity.
#*Lynn Sr., while still likable, became an immature father who is scared to defend himself from his children.
#*Rita, while still likable, became a terrible mother at times who told her children to lie to get their problems solved.
#Many bad-to-mediocre episodes (see the Notable bad episodes from these seasons so far section).
#The mean-spirited vibes and negative tones that plagued several episodes of the first three seasons return here and they're somehow worse here than they were in the first three seasons.
#There are far too many Lincoln torture episodes (or jokes). Not only have they returned to prominence in these seasons, but this time, they've been cranked up to eleven because the show's writers think making a likable main character suffer for stupid reasons or no reason is funny when in reality, it's the exact opposite.
#*The most notable instance of this comes from "[[No Bus No Fuss (The Loud House)|No Bus No Fuss]]", where a group of bullies pummels Lincoln (and his friends) due to him sitting in their seat, which is located in the very back of the bus. What makes this feel so undeserved is that Lincoln wasn't even aware that the seat in question was claimed by the bullies, resulting in them coming off as rather petty and horrible.
#Like [[Tom and Jerry (Gene Deitch era, 1961-1962)|the Gene Deitch era of ''Tom and Jerry'']], some of the episodes are a huge waste of potential since, even though they do utilize a bunch of good ideas, whether it be a middle school setting (in various episodes, despite being a bit odd for this show), a Canadian setting (in Schooled), the college setting (in some episodes like Schooled) and even the preschool setting (in some episodes like Appetite for Destruction), for heaps of comedic gags while at the same time to show the viewers what is it like to be in these real-life settings in a positive way, but unfortunately, those ideas are ruined by many stale or unfunny jokes that rely more on stereotypes and the negative tone, while the rest of the episodes rely more on the torture elements on various episodes like on Lincoln and even Rita and Lynn Sr.
#''The Loud House'', despite having stereotypes itself, had a unique charm that didn't come off as disrespectful and insulting. But since Season 5, it's done in even more one-dimensional and exaggerated ways and the portrayals of them can come off as stupid, cringeworthy, or downright disrespectful, and not only that, but it also makes the show look racist in terms of stereotyping cultures.
#*The worst offender is "Schooled!", where Canada is depicted as being a horrible country to live, in that is obsessed with ice hockey, log cabins, and is snowy with lots of moosses, all of which any Canadian would point out are no more commonplace than in the United States. These jokes are not done charmingly like ''[[South Park (seasons 1-19, 21-present)|South Park]]'' (especially seasons 1-19, and 21-22), and instead come off as just annoying where they try to shove in a Canadian joke every 2 seconds. There is even one part where a character tells Lincoln to say he’s allergic to Canada, which is just an unself-aware xenophobic line. The fact that Canada was portrayed negatively is also as bad as what happened in the [[Teen Titans Go!]] episode ''[[Hot Salad Water (Teen Titans Go!)|Hot Salad Water]]'', where Robin became racist to the British people and culture '''by thinking that Tea is their favorite drink and a way to recolonize America!'''
#*And to make matters worse, Kyle Marshall is Canadian himself much to the irony of the show. Wouldn’t he know how to tell some good Canadian jokes? Also said episode wasn't banned in Canada for some reason. Also, The Company that produced this Show (Jam Filled Entertainment) is Canadian too.
#Many of the newer episodes are very predictable, with morals that are so basic, half-baked, forced down the viewers' throat, and far-fetched that it's not even funny, and some of the episodes don't need any morals, to begin with. Even when it's not them, it's usually how almost every episode plays its plotline, except it switches its formula around every once in a While.
#*Here is how this predictable kind of plot goes. Something is the main concept or plot point for the story on what happens today, the character gets a stupid idea or two that they have in mind, the character goes off to stick to their plan, and all goes fine until bad things happen, sometimes they notice or don't notice and don't care, all bad stuff breaks loose, the character is reprimanded, the character goes "It's all my fault!" and apologizes for the events, they end the episode with either the character setting things right or learning a lesson and all is happy. This was a formula used before in some episodes of the show, and while it was present, it was not used this much. Here, it feels like the writers began to run out of ideas entirely as the way this formula is used makes the episodes duller and more mundane to watch.
#Some of the jokes are not as good as the jokes that played in the first three seasons. Instead, they come off as annoying, stale, unfunny, painful to laugh at, and/or even offensive to some people.
#The animation in these seasons, while not terrible, is a pretty big downgrade from the first three seasons and the seventh season (for the most part). It's especially surprising since the show is still animated by Jam Filled Entertainment. Here are some examples of poor animation:
#*The character animations can either look very limited or uncanny
#*The lines of the characters are now headachingly too thin. While not a bad thing to change the art style a little, this here is not the case as it makes the animation look uncanny in some scenes.
#*The color palette is far too colorful and may give someone a headache.
#* In some scenes, viewers can also notice reused assets.
#*This is due to the show having a new creative director named Jessica Bourtski, making the animation software transition from Toon Boom Harmony to Adobe Flash Animate.
#The plots are a lot more nonsensical and stupid due to these seasons having a more cartoony feel compared to the previous seasons. The show always had some cartoonish elements in the first three seasons, but they weren’t there to advance the plot. "White Hare" from season 3 had the element where Lincoln is a rabbit named Warren and has 25 sisters, and the overall execution was done extremely well. The same cannot be said with "Schooled!" for several reasons. The same is true with ''The Casagrandes'', though thankfully not as much.
#* In addition, seasons 4 onwards, and especially season 5 have been having a lot of overly cartoonish elements in many episodes. This started to surface in season 3, but at least there, the show still had its slice-of-life roots. In the first two seasons, some episodes had cartoonish elements, but they were minor and didn't do anything to the plot. Seasons 4 and 6 had more episodes which have at least one cartoonish moment, and in season 5, such moments have become more commonplace and in more episodes. Some episodes that have them are the Miller family being spies, working for SUSPENSE, and their evil plan in "Family Bonding", ghosts existing in "Ghosted!", Flip's biological oddities in "Blinded by Science", Liam's wounded arm being so visibly deformed and Lucy using her ghost magic to cure Liam's arm in "Cow Pie Kid", Lisa making an invention to bring Dolly the Dinosaur in ''The Loud House'' universe in "School of Shock", Jazzy destroying a lot of Royal Woods in "Training Day", and Lisa making an invention to go inside and fighting the monsters in Lily's nightmare with Leni, Lynn, Lincoln, Lola, and Lily in "Dream a Lily Dream".
#Like SpongeBob's, these seasons' continuity is very inconsistent.
#* In "Schooled!", Lincoln's teacher is different from what he was in ''Middle Men''.
#These seasons rarely have good character development, as they learn their lesson in the end and apologize, only to revert to their old ways in the next episode, showing that the show does now keep a Status Quo because the Status Quo is God to Nickelodeon or something. However, Lincoln is a little bit more likable in season 5 whilst everyone else has either lost their way or forgot they even had character development at all until season 7. How awfully and vaguely familiar to this one...
#The show doesn't know how to handle its focus on the characters anymore (as of season 5):
#*There have been ''way too many'' Lincoln and the Gang episodes in season 5 as opposed to there being some in the first four seasons, with the exceptions of "Silence of the Luans" and "Much Ado About Noshing".
#*Lincoln himself has been the focus of way too many episodes, though this is excusable as he didn't have as much focus in season 4 and after all, he's the main protagonist of the show. The most notable Lincoln-centric episodes are: "Schooled!", "Family Bonding", "Kernel of Truth", "Ghosted!", "Blinded by Science", "Saved by the Spell", "Season's Cheatings", "A Flipmas Carol", "No Buss No Fuss", "Resident Upheaval", "Silence of the Luans", "Flying Solo", "Rumor Has It", "Training Day", "Grub Snub", "Much Ado About Noshing", Broadcast Blues", "Camped!", "How the Best Was Won", "Farm to Unstable", Diss the Cook", "For Sale by Loner", "Runaway McBride", "High Crimes", "Frame on You", "Present Danger", "Don't Escar-Go", "Flip This Flip", "Save Royal Woods!", "The Taunting Hour", "Musical Chairs", "All the Rage", "Scoop Snoop", "Dine and Bash", "Sofa, So Good", "Driver's Dread", "Bummer Camp", "Sleepstakes", "Time Trap!, "Crashed Course", "Lights, Camera, Nuclear Reaction", "Save the Last Pants", "A Stella Performance", "The Orchid Grief", "Forks and Knives Out", "The Loud Cloud", "Great Lakes Freakout!", "Pop Pop the Question", "Snow Escape", "Snow News Day", "Day of the Dad", "Small Blunder", "Doom Service", "The Hurt Lockers", "Master of Delusion", "Tough Guise", "Road Trip: Bizarritorium", "Road Trip: Bringing Down the House", "Road Trip: Hide and Sneak", "Too Cool for School", "Fluff and Foiled", "Hunn-cut Gems", "Can't Lynn Em All", "'Twas the Fight Before Christmas", "A Dish Come True", "Beg, Borrow and Steele", "Riddle School", and "Love Me Tenor". This list also includes many episodes that don't directly focus on him.
#*While it is nice to see Lincoln having more episodes to himself, he has been getting so many episodes even to the point where sisters like Luan, Lucy, and Lily, have had only one episode, sisters not having one more episode, sisters not having more than two episodes, etc. The same is true with Clyde and Lincoln's other friends.
#**This was also the case with [[The Loud House (seasons 1-3)|seasons 1-3]] (and to some extent, since season 6 starting with "Driver's Dread"), but at least it was executed better there as the show was formerly more focused on Lincoln's point-of-view when it came to living with ten sisters.
#*While it is nice to see Lori go to college, however, she has been appearing less frequently even to the point where the sisters and other characters have been appearing more than her and having more major roles. There are also a lot of episodes where the whole Loud family appears without her as a result.
#*Lisa and Lynn have gotten too many episodes as of season 5. Lisa's ones and appearances are: "Schooled!", "Blinded by Science", "Season's Cheatings", "A Flipmas Carol", "Silence of the Luans", "School of Shock", "The Loud House Mega Music Countdown" (if considering the stand-alone special a part of the show), "The Loud House Mega Music Countdown" (digital version, if you considering the stand-alone special a part of the show), "Diamonds Are for Never", "Friday Night Fights", "Much Ado About Noshing", "Dream a Lily Dream", "A Loud House Christmas: Behind the Scenes - Episode 4" (if considering the special an episode of the show), "The Loudly Bones", "Lincoln Loud's Holly Jolly Gift Guide" (if considering the stand-alone special an part of the show), "High Crimes", "[[Appetite for Destruction (The Loud House)|Appetite for Destruction]]", "Present Danger", "Flip This Flip", "Save Royal Woods!", "The Taunting Hour", "Eye Can't", "Dine and Bash", "Sofa, So Good", "The Last Laugh", "Driver's Dread", "Sleepstakes", "Time Trap!", "Robot Reboot" (if considering the short as an episode in the show), "Right Where We Belong" (if considering the short as an episode in the show), "Right Where We Belong" (if also considering the short as an episode in the show), "Flippee Jingle" (if indeed considering the short as an episode in the show), "Crashed Course", "Lights, Camera, Nuclear Reaction", "A Major Hiccup", "Stroke of Luck", "Space Jammed", "The Orchid Grief", "The Loud Cloud", "Great Lakes Freakout!", "The Really Loud House: Behind the Scenes - Episode 5" (if also considering the special an episode of the show), "The Really Loud House: Behind the Scenes - Episode 6" (if indeed considering the special an episode of the show), "Pop Pop the Question", "Snow Escape", "Snow News Day", "Day of the Dad", "Small Blunder", "Waking History", "Candy Crushed", "Bye Bye Birthday", "Road Trip: Bizarritorium", "Road Trip: Bringing Down the House", "Road: Trip: Mountain Hard Pass", "Road Trip: From Brad to Worse", "Road Trip: Doll Day Afternoon", "Road Trip: Screen Queen", "Road Trip: Hide and Sneak", "Out of Step", "Fluff and Foiled", "Leave No Van Behind", "Sponsor Tripped", and "Sleepless in Royal Woods". Lynn's ones are: "Schooled!", "Family Bonding", "A Flipmas Carol", "Cow Pie Kid", "Hurl, Interrupted", "Friday Night Fights" "Diss the Cook", "Save Royal Woods!", "The Taunting Hour", "Cheer Pressure", "Lynn and Order", "Snow Escape", "Sponsor Tripped", and "Can't Lynn Them All".
#*Although Lily has gone to preschool as of "Schooled!", she has yet to have her episode (or one involving her in preschool like making a friend or something else), to the point where all of the sisters and Lincoln himself have had their episodes. This is the same case with the first three seasons, in which whenever there is a Lily-themed episode, there is always someone else who is the main protagonist and not Lily. She only has had '''one''' episode solely focusing on her, which is "Any Given Sundae", though she eventually got another preschool episode (at the '''''very end''''' of season 5, despite the fact there were many opportunities beforehand that season the preschool could be showcased) called "Appetite for Destruction". She is also going to get a preschool episode at the '''''very end''''' of season 6, despite the fact there were many opportunities beforehand that season the preschool could be showcased) called "Small Blunder".
#*Ronnie Anne and her family (alongside Sid Chang and almost all of the secondary ''Casagrandes'' characters) have been completely absent since "Washed Up" and in seasons 5-onward without any mentions or cameos (except for Bobby and Sergio who were seen/mentioned in "Schooled!"). It doesn't help that Bobby has appeared in season 5 (he has appeared in "Schooled!", is mentioned in "The Boss Maybe", "Ghosted!", "Camped!" (on Lori's phone) is mentioned in the then-upcoming "Diss the Cook" on Lori's Fairway University account on her computer, and appears in the upcoming "Crashed Course" alongside a lot of other Great Lakes City residents), and the main and secondary characters of the show have been making a lot of appearances in their spin-off series, though it is admittedly excusable since they are the main characters in the spin-off series. Not to mention, there was a '''''twenty-seven''''' hiatus between "Washed Up" and "[[Don't You Fore-Get About Me (The Loud House)|Don't You Fore-Get About Me]]" of Ronnie Anne, Bobby, Carlos, and Sergio's return to the show. They will return to the show for another season after Ronnie Anne's spin-off show ''The Casagrandes'' ends. After ''The Casagrandes'' was canceled, almost all of the secondary characters in the series aside from the Casagrandes family have been completely absent.
#*Some new fan-favorite characters that could potentially be used more are introduced in one episode (i.e. Carol Pingrey from "Picture Perfect", Bratty kid from "Cereal Offender", Tabby, Giggles, Polly Pain from "Dance, Dance, Resolution", Unnamed Brunette Haired Woman from "Raw Deal", Maggie from "Funny Business", Hugh and Mrs. DiMartino from "Study Muffin", Rocky Spokes (Rusty's little brother) from "Back in Black", Amy, Morgan, and Diane from "Net Gains", Sasha, Superintendent Chen, and Amir from "The Write Stuff", Midred, Lacey St. Claire from "A Mutt Above", the Female Duck from "Love Birds", Colonel Austin from "Last Loud on Earth", Simon from "Purrfect Gig, Theo from "Singled Out", Emma and Chloe from "Brave the Last Dance", the Miller Family from "Family Bonding", Tabby Gobblesworth from "A Flipmas Carol", Taylor and Pablo from "No Bus No Fuss", Jazzy and Snazzy from "Training Day", etc.), only to make little-to-no appearances again. While this problem was present before the downhill (a lot of the episodes are in the same episodes), they could still bring these characters back to give them more story ideas again.
#*# On the subject of "L is for Love", the love interests of the siblings, with the exceptions of Sam and Benny, have been pretty much forgotten by season 4, which is disappointing because there have been a fair few episodes focusing on some of the siblings' events where the interests would have wanted to cheer on or support them. Leni, in particular, was said to be dating her interest in the season 3 episode "Really Loud Music", but he isn't been seen or mentioned since then, and in season 5, she gets new crushes, first an unnamed boy with a cowlick in "Undercover Mom", then Scott in the movie.
#*Supporting-to-recurring characters besides Rita and Lynn Sr. and characters outside of the Loud Family beside Clyde get their episodes like Ronnie Anne ("A Flipmas Carol"), Stella ("Saved by the Spell" and "A Stella Peformance"), Zach ("Zach Attack" and "Tough Guise"), Mr. Grouse ("For Sale by Loner"), Harold ("Runaway McBride"), Leonard ("Bummer Camp"), Benny ("Puns and Buns"), Miguel ("Food Courting"), Rusty ("Save the Last Pants" and "Tough Guise"), Sergio ("Fowl Play)", Liam ("Hunn-cut Gems" and "There Will Be Mud"), get their episodes. While it is nice to see them get their episodes in seasons 5-onward, it can be insulting and tiresome for some fans since they want to see their favorite characters get one to three episodes.
#*While it is nice to see Lincoln, his friends, and all of the former elementary school students go to middle school in season 5, however, the elementary school and its staff (most notably Mrs. Johnson, Coach Pacowski, and Principal Huggins) have been appearing less frequently even to the point where the middle school and its staff have been appearing more than the elementary school and its staff and almost none of its non-main staff have been appearing except for Miss Allegra. Not helping by the fact that Cheryl still gets to make a handful of appearances in seasons 5-onward, though it is excusable since her sister Meryl was introduced in "Schooled!", and the fact that the writers likely realized that they couldn't have shown Cheryl as Principal Huggins' staff frequently anymore due to the then-elementary school students graduating elementary school off-screen and going to middle school in "Schooled!", so they could at least try and put Mrs. Johnson, Coach Pacowski, and Principal Huggins with lines in the non-elementary school episodes, or introduce siblings of them to have them appear more often. Mrs. Johnson and Coach Pacowski only have '''one''' appearances in season 5 without any lines, in "School of Shock" and "For Sale by Loner" respectively, thus wasting their characters and creating two missed opportunities. Not helped by the fact that there was a '''one-hundred nine''' gap from "Stall Monitor" to "Crown and Dirty" when Mrs. Johson had lines again.
#*There have been no Ace Savvy-centered episodes after "[[Kings of the Con (The Loud House)|Kings of the Con]]" as well as seasons 5-onward, most likely due to the negative reception of "Kings of the Con" and/or the writer's favored episodes about Lincoln's other interests like Muscle Fish, magic and magic shows, and David Steele. Not to mention, Ace Savvy and related stuff has rarely been seen and mentioned in seasons 5th-present, where many fans have speculated that Lincoln moved on from Ace Savvy and/or started liking David Steele more.
#* In season 5, almost all of the main characters got three (except for Luan, if not including "Undercover Mom" as one) centered episodes and two episodes directly focusing on themselves. While almost all of them did get three episodes focusing on themselves (as mentioned above), Lori, Leni, Luan, Lynn, Lana, Lily (as mentioned above), Clyde, Rita, and Lynn Sr. (due to him not getting any episodes focusing on himself from season 3's "Home of the Fave" to season 6's "A Bug's Strife") didn't get more than two episodes focusing on themselves in season 5, with the worst, biggest, and most notable being Luan and Clyde, who the former only got two (three if counting "Undercover Mom" as a Luan-centered episode in season 5) episodes in that season, thus making fans (like users from its Fandom wiki called The Loud House Wiki) really wanting her to get another episode focusing on her and centering around her, especially SnkLuanChalicefan86 (formerly known as Snkcole8630 at the time), who really wanted Luan to get another episode in season 5, got so worried about it, even to the point where she took a break from the wiki from October 2021 when she figured out that the then-unannounced 525B named "Runaway McBride" and later "High Crimes" would focus on Harold and eventually Lincoln instead of Luan as SnkLuanChalicefan86 had wanted it to be a Luan X Benny (LuBenny) really bad.
#*Luan has gotten too many episodes in seasons 5-onward. Luan's episodes are: "Stressed for the Part", "The Taunting Hour", "The Last Laugh", "Catastrophe", "Puns and Buns", "Pranks Fore Nothing", "Road Trip: oll Day Afternoon", "An Inspector Falls", and "Dread of the Class".
#*Lynn Loud Sr. doesn't have any episodes in seasons 4 and 5. Much like the Lily-centered episodes in seasons 1-3, and whenever in seasons 4 and 5 ("Present Tense", "Recipe for Disaster", "Feast or Family", "Schooled!", "The Boss Maybe", "Family Bonding", "Ghosted!", "Undercover Mom", "Electshunned", "Much Ado About Noshing", "Camped!", "Dad Reputation", "Animal House", and "Appetite for Destruction") There is a Lynn Sr.-centered episode, that does focus on someone else besides him. However, Lynn Sr. would eventually get an episode in season 6 called "A Bug's Strife, thus there is a '''one hundred twelve episodes and a three and a year''' gap between "Home of the Fave" and "A Bug's Strife" between him getting another episode.
#*Clyde began making fewer appearances in season 4 but eventually started to make more appearances and major roles as of season 5.
#*Similar to Mr. Turner, Mr. Crocker Sparky, and Chloe Carmichael being severely overused as the creator's pets because of that show's creator Butch Hartman and the writers favoring almost them over most of the secondary characters and a lot of episodes being rehashed so the episodes could shoehorn them in major roles in ''The Fairly OddParents'', these seasons have overused Flip, Scoots, the Mortician's Club and Mr. Grouse, becoming the creator's pet, especially in its fifth season onward. Most of the time, one or two of them are put into an episode as a brief gag for laughs as well as being used for multiple different purposes in the show too as well. In the fifth season, their appearances increased, and by the sixth season, they have been appearing in almost every episode, as well as ones not even directly focusing on themselves, where Scoots and Mr. Grouse were promoted from recurring characters to supporting characters. A similar case is with Cheryl and Meryl, though not as much as Flip, Scoots, The Mortician's Club, and Mr. Grouse. Sound familiar and similar?
#**We don't need the Mortician's Club having a speaking appearance because every time they are in an episode, it goes horrible
#*A few characters haven't appeared in season 7 (Pop-Pop for the first time, Mick Swagger, and almost all of the characters from ''The Casagrandes'') or haven't had any lines at all (Cheryl, etc).
#*The characterization can be rather lackluster at times, especially in episodes when there are not a lot of characters ("Strife of the Party", "Blinded by Science", "Cow Pie Kid", "Resident Upheaval", "Runaway McBride", "Stressed for the Part", "Double Trouble", "Flip This Flip", "Haunted House Call", "The Taunting Hour", "Musical Chairs", "A Bug's Strife", "All the Rage", "Scoop Snoop", "Eye Can't", "Dine and Bash", "Sofa, So Good", "The Last Laugh", "Driver's Dread", "Bummer Camp", "Eye Can't", "Puns and Buns", "The Loathe Boat", "Cheer Pressure", "Space Jammed", "The Orchid Grief", "The Loud Cloud", "You Auto Know Better", "Love Stinks", "Walking History", "Candy Crushed", "Road Trip: Bringing Down the House", "Road Trip: Moutain Hard Pass", "Road Trip: From Brad to Worse", "Road Trip: Doll Day Afternoon", "Road Trip: Screen Queen", "Road Trip: Hide and Sneak", "Out of Step", "Fluff and Foiled", "Leave No Van Behind", "Party Fowl", and "Sleepless in Royal Woods".)
#*Continuing on from the part on Ronnie Anne and her family, Bobby only had one speaking role in season 7, which is "Force of Habits".
#*Ultra famous retired skateboarder [[:w:Tony Hawk|Tony Hawk]] has appeared in both of ''The Loud House'' spin-offs, ''The Casagrandes'' and ''The Really Loud House, and ''The Casagrandes'', Tony Hawk guest starred as himself in "[[Skaters Gonna Hate (The Casagrandes)|Skaters Gonna Hate]]" and in the next year, appeared in ''[[The Really Loud House]]'' episode "[[No Louds Allowed (The Really Loud House)|No Louds Allowed]]" as himself. Ironically enough, Tony Hawk has yet to starred in an episode of ''The Loud House'' himself.
#Half of the plots in these seasons are too action-packed with lots of James Bond references which is really out of place.
#Alongside many other shows like ''[[Teen Titans Go!]]'', some episodes have rather misleading titles and some episodes have rather misleading plots. On top of that, some titles are lame, especially "No Bus, No Fuss", "Fam Scam" and "Frame on You". The worst title is "Grub Snub", because not only does it sound stupid, but it references Grubhub, which is yet another attempt to be relevant.
#Speaking of jumping the shark, one way the show lost its charm was to stop making it have a slice-of-life feel and more of a fantasy genre from season 4 onwards. This is at its worst in the movie where it has dragons and magic in it. Even if the slice-of-life feel is present, it no longer stays consistent within the show anymore. Leaving the show to become a neutered and dumbed-down show that lost all of its mojos. Plus, the slapstick feel was at least normal in the first 3 seasons (and to some extent, season 7), but at this point, it has been amplified to no longer seem even a bit funny and fitting for a realistic show. One major example of unrealism was the infamous episode "Time Trapǃ" which involves the Louds '''''time traveling'''.''
#Like [[Tom and Jerry (Gene Deitch era, 1961-1962)|the Gene Deitch era of Tom and Jerry]], [[Teen Titans Go!]], [[Ren & Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon"|Ren and Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon]], [[SpongeBob SquarePants (seasons 6-8)|seasons 6-8 of SpongeBob SquarePants]], Herman and Katnip, and Popee the Performer, these seasons relies more on gratitious over-the-top violence instead of slapstick, but cranked up to 11 here.
#While it was a good idea to age up the characters and move them up a grade in season 5, it felt unnecessary to do and it removes the charm that the first four seasons had.
#[[The Loud House: Outta Control|The only tie-in video game that was released is terrible]].
#Just like the 11th and 12th seasons of ''[[The Simpsons (seasons 11-31)|The Simpsons]]'', these seasons rely more on over-the-top stories, with the previously mentioned ''Schooled!'' being the worst offender.
#Despite all of the changes since the fifth season the intro remains the same for the most part, which can cause some viewers confusion thinking it's gonna be seasons 1-4.
#Much like ''Teen Titans Go!'', their films are just as inconsistent:
#*''The Loud House Movie'', while it had a bunch of positives that kept it from being bad, and has surprisingly aged very well due to it's 2024 sequel, had a lot of flaws that kept it from being good either. And the film aged like milk years later.
#*''[[A Loud House Christmas]]'' was made just to give the franchise the aforementioned live-action series that mainly '''nobody asked for'''.
#Overall, these seasons '''mostly''' damaged the reputation of the show and have caused some people to hate the show even though despite suffering from a case of seasonal rot, the show was good before said seasonal rot. This show is a '''BIG''' example of some terrible [[Seasonal Rot]] within [[Nickelodeon (2011-present)|Nickelodeon]]'s history. Along with that, despite the fanbase's claims and season 6's improvements, hardly any improvement has happened ever since "Schooledǃ" (until late-Season 6), and more terrible episodes have come along, which contributed to the downfall of the now toxic fanbase as well. But still, Nickelodeon uses this as their second cash cow besides SpongeBob SquarePants, as there are currently 8 seasons, three whole movies, a long special, and the live-action show. At least ''SpongeBob'' is lucky to recover for the most part since Stephen Hillenburg was still involved in the show, even during its seasonal rot in seasons 6-8, that is until he died, leading to the newer seasons still being somewhat of a downgrade, though the show remains good for the most part, but sadly Chris Savino isn't around for this show due to the sexual harassment accusations, and most SpongeBob fans should be thankful that as SpongeBob has got out from its seasonal rot. It’s like [[Family Guy (seasons 8-present)|''Family Guy'' (post season 8)]] or [[Johnny Test (2005, seasons 4-6)|seasons 4-6 of ''Johnny Test (2005)'']] in that matter, except that at least for ''Family Guy'', it wasn't Seth MacFarlane's fault his show went downhill and had a good reason for why the show went downhill and it was out of his control, that was Fox's Fault, and the latter had improved in its 2021 reboot. Plus, most of the problems these seasons have been so bad that many fans decided to stop watching the show altogether and the viewership has been decreasing a lot. When the show premiered, the first episode received 2.07 million views upon its broadcast, "Antiqued Off" from season 3 had 1.22 million viewers, and the season 6 episode, "[[Time Trap! (The Loud House)|Time Trap!]]" had 310,000 viewers upon premiere, showing how fewer and fewer people are willing to watch the show. It even disrespects its audience and cannot handle any criticism at all as shown with The Taunting Hour. The ''Big City Greens'' episode Boss Life, keep in mind, taught its moral on how to handle criticism ''way'' better than how ''The Loud House'' would.
#Weirdly, Nickelodeon splitted ''The Loud House'' (season 8) into season 9, and so season 8 is season 9, much like SpongeBob and [[The Patrick Star Show]].
==Redeeming Qualities That Can Still Show Our Love==

#*"Right Where We Belong"
#*"Flippee Jingle"
#The relationship between Lincoln and Lori is still cute.
#Most of the characters are still likable like:
##Lincoln (as of season 5b, but it's not enough to fully go back to his original personality as mentioned above)
##*Even though he (despite becoming more selfish in seasons 4 and 5) has done plenty of selfless acts like telling the class all of the good things Mr. Bolhofner has done at the end of "Rumor Has It", he went back to his original personality as of the second half of season 5 (specifically, the episodes released after the first movie).
##Lori
##Leni (Before season 5, and when she got her driver's license)
##Luna (Despite being a supporting character)
##Luan
##Lynn Jr. (as of season 6)
##Lucy (Despite her Flanderization in seasons 4 and 5 as mentioned above and improved a lot as of season 6)
##Lana
##Lola

##Even some of the flanderized characters (such as Leni, Lynn Jr., Lincoln, Lucy, Lily, the Loud parents, Mr. Bolhofner, Clyde, Zach, Rusty, Liam, and Stella) occasionally retain their original personalities.
#Clyde also stopped his nosebleed on Lori, which might prove he gets some development.
#The animation, while restricted, is still decently well done, thanks to being produced by the same company that was also known for producing the final seasons of Thomas and Friends: Jam Filled Entertainment.
#Seasons 4, and 6 onwards are the least bad of these seasons, as they still have some of the charms of the first three seasons (especially seasons 2-3) and most of the characters (aside from Lincoln and Lucy) aren't as flanderized and/or have eventually gone back to their original and classic personalities, though that isn't saying much due to the aforementioned flaws.
#*Speaking of which, Lynn Jr. massively improved since season 3, she was starting to get character development and started to treat her family and Lincoln more nicely, though she got flanderized in season 5.
#*In addition, the season was okay for its first few episodes, especially The Casagrandes miniseries. It wasn't until "[[A Grave Mistake (The Loud House)|A Grave Mistake]]" that the seasonal rot became noticeable.
#*To some extent, season 6 is a bit of an improvement over season 5, as it had more good episodes compared to that season, Lincoln and Lucy went back to their original personalities (though, the former depends on your view) and some other great aspects like Leni now being able to drive the Vanzilla. Plus, the pacing is less jarring than in season 5. However, there are still numerous flaws in this season.
#**It's also worth mentioning that this season has far fewer rehashes than seasons 4 and 5, with only 8 episodes being rehashes.
#**The characterization starts to improve more and more since some characters became more likable, while other characters reverted to their original personalities (most notably Lincoln and Lucy).
#**They also brought back the Casagrandes after the spin-off ended.
#*Late-season 6 (after Leni got her driver's license) and Season 7 are also noticeable improvements over seasons 5 and early season 6 (especially "Schooled"), since the writing has become more polished, and the main characters, The Loud Family, have recovered from flanderization. However, it still may have some unrealistic elements scattered (though the first three seasons also may have these issues) and some of the writing can be poor, the animation is also still not as good as the first three seasons that is better animated by ToonBoom Harmony.
#Depending on your point of view, season 5 had a unique and clever idea of the characters aging up one year despite the poor execution. Typically in cartoons, characters would never age up, regardless of how long it's been running.
#*In addition, it was also a good idea to have the characters move up a grade as opposed to cartoons where when they move up a grade, they would rarely age up a year.
#The title cards in season 5 have a new design with the three lower boxes being themed around the episode, which makes them more unique from each other.
#After "Silence of the Luans", Lily has finally stopped her dirty diaper running gag, as she finally got potty-trained. She is also now in preschool. She also speaks full sentences and also wears clothes now.
#While most of the jokes have become stale, some of the jokes are still good such as Lincoln angrily screaming in the Vanzilla in ''Season's Cheatings'' and eventually he doesn't have the time, so, he just yells out the window, annoying Mr. Grouse.
#Lincoln has been getting more focus in season 5 as he didn't have a lot of focus in season 4.
#The voice acting is still great as usual, despite some of the voices still being hammy and high-pitched.
#The special film "No Time to Spy" was great and would have been a great series finale if it didn't continue past it.

==Reception==
While the first two seasons received mainly positive reviews, with the third and seventh seasons gaining mixed-to-positive reception, the fourth season to the sixth season has been met with mainly mixed-to-panned reception from critics, audiences, and even many ''Loud House'' fans alike.
Since the show continues to "jump the shark" with the overuse of cartoony elements, some decided to quit watching the show (such as YouTuber Yoshi Player, who reviewed the first four seasons of the show).
However, the fourth season onward has been received in a mainly mixed-to-positive way from The Loud House Wiki, the primary hangout of the fandom, though the fifth season was more polarizing, praised by the vehement portion of the fandom while receiving mixed-to-panned reception from everyone else. Some on the wiki defended Seasons 4 and 6 to an extent but still trashed Season 5.
These seasons were so hated, that a bunch of users completely invaded its IMDb page in late 2021, spamming 1-star reviews on both the show itself and almost every single episode from this era. At one point, the majority of episodes from season 5 were rated below the 4/10 mark until IMDb took as much action as they could by balancing out the score for each episode affected by the invasion by early 2022, though the episodes remained below the 6/10 mark due to the "weighted average" metric. This would later change since ''Present Danger''/''Stressed for the Part'' from season 6 however, as that episode received a 6.5/10 and after those episodes, season 6 continued to have episodes with ratings that range from 6/10 to 7.8/10, with occasional episodes receiving below 6/10 and some episodes even receiving higher than 8/10, compararable to the episodes of the first 3 seasons.
In January 2022, the aforementioned Yoshi Player apologized on Twitter and YouTube for his over-the-top reactions to episodes from this era, specifically the episode ''Schooled!'', and he felt like he had created a hate base for both himself and this era. In early 2024, he privatized his ''Schooled!'' review, implying that he may review the series again at some point, though doubtful at this time, mainly because he's more focused on gaming videos and doesn't have the encouragement to review more movies and TV shows due to his mental health. However, he later made his ''Schooled!'' review public again by late 2024, presumably for archiving reasons.
==Trivia==
*Even though Lily wears clothes now and Lori is in college, the theme song remains unchanged, so it still shows Lori physically at home and Lily is still in her previous design. In The Loud House Movie, Lori is at home and Lily is in her previous design from the first 4 seasons. This is also the same with Season 4, and that is the season where the animation got changed and is now slightly thinner.
**This is because the movie takes place between seasons 4 and 5.
*As of Season 5 onward:
*#The title cards have a new design with the three lower boxes being themed around the episode.
*#Lori has moved out from Royal Woods to attend college. She is now visiting home once in a while while retired from being the oldest in the house.
*#Leni is now the new oldest in the house since her ex-roommate Lori is moving out to attend college. She is also now in 12th grade. She later successfully got her driver's license and is now able to drive Vanzilla completely after she passed her driving test in the season 6 episode "Driver's Dread".
*#Luna is now in eleventh grade.
*#Luan is now in tenth grade.
*#Lynn is now in eighth grade
*#Lincoln is now in middle school and has special talents from his magic shows and the Action News.
*#Lucy is now in fourth grade.
*#Lana and Lola are now in second grade. They would later become 7 years old as of "Strife of the Party".
*#Lisa is now in first grade.
*#Lily is now potty-trained and is now in preschool. She also now speaks full sentences and no longer wears diapers. It also ends her dirty diaper running gags.
*#Clyde, Zach, Rusty, Stella, and Liam are now in middle school too, but in a different class from Lincoln Principal Ramirez doesn't work out for him to assign him to Mrs. Salter's class with his friends and there's no room left.
*The show stands as the fourth longest-running Nicktoon next to [[SpongeBob SquarePants (seasons 1-5, 9-present)|SpongeBob]] [[SpongeBob SquarePants (seasons 6-8)|SquarePants]], [[The Fairly OddParents (seasons 1-8)|The Fairly]] [[The Fairly OddParents (seasons 9 & 10)|OddParents]], and [[Rugrats (1991)|Rugrats]].
*Starting in Season 5 as the change for the characters' roles:
*#Stella quickly became the tritagonist.
*#Zach, Rusty, and Liam are now one of the main characters.
*Once this page was no longer a sandbox, this page caused conspiracy from people from the fanbase, as they wanted it to be deleted to give it a chance because they didn't know when the season would improve or not. At one point, this page was deleted, speculated because of major backlash from several members of the fanbase. That time, they celebrated this page's deletion (though it was later re-added here much to more conspiracy again). The actual reason for the page's deletion is that "This page doesn't include a single source nor any mention of the reception, which obliterates any credibility this page has."
*This series has a movie named ''The Loud House Movie'' for [[Netflix]], and it was released on August 20, 2021, and mostly received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics. Although many people, including fans of this show, consider it to be an improvement over Seasons 4 and 5, most likely since the movie was made before the fifth season, though released during that season. Plus, there is also another TV movie called ''[[A Loud House Christmas]]'' for Nickelodeon and Paramount+. It was released on November 26, 2021, and received a bunch of negative reviews from critics and some fans of the series. On the other hand, it received positive reviews from fans of the series.
*Season 5 is the season to play the standard title card music (named Pop Punk) the least, as it has only played five times in the season, in the episodes "No Buss No Fuss", "Much Ado About Noshing", "Animal House", "Lori Days" and "For Sale by Loner".
*While most people thought that aging up the characters and moving up the grade was a good idea, it has made some fans not want it to happen. One such infamous example is Jake Stone, who made a petition to stop the characters from aging up a year and he later changed it.
*Jahzir Bruno (who played live-action Clyde McBride in ''A Loud House Christmas'') is confirmed to be Clyde McBride's new voice actor for Season 6 after Andre Robinson's voice deepens and hits puberty.
*Some people have believed that Lincoln is unlucky, although he is not unlucky because he's just a butt-monkey and an accident-prone which the writers made a copy from SpongeBob SquarePants and Gumball Watterson. It has been mistaken for an unlucky character because of the episode "No Such Luck", Lincoln said he doesn't have bad luck at all.
* Seasons 3 and 4 are the only seasons to receive an actual poster. Seasons 1, 2, and 5-present haven't received one. As a result, the page used fan-made posters for seasons 5 onwards.
*This is the [[Special:LongPages|second largest page on this wiki]], with having {{PAGESIZE:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|R}} bytes as of the current revision..

'''''SuperMarioLogan''''' (shortened to '''''SML''''') is an American [[:w:Web series|web series]] created by '''Logan Thirtyacre''' (born November 17, 1994 [age {{age|1994|11|17}}]), better known as the YouTuber of the same name. The series first aired on December 8, 2007, as shorts and officially released on April 7, 2009. ''SML'' is based on plush versions of characters from the ''Mario'' franchise.<ref name="YouTube">See infobox link</ref><ref name="TheFamousPeople"></ref> The series used to be good before season 8, and it was decent in season 8, but went downhill in season 9 when Jeffy was overused. The original ''SML'' channel has been deleted on [[YouTube (2005-2016)|You]][[YouTube (2017-present)|Tube]], however on March 16, 2021, Thirtyacre announced that a channel created in 2012 was going to be used from then on.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5bIL0YKHR0</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/c/SMLMovies/about</ref> A backup channel, created in 2008, also exists.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/user/superbowserlogan</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/c/SMLVideos/about</ref>
==Plot==
Plush versions of characters from the [[wikipedia:Mario (franchise)|Mario]] franchise, and many other characters, have adventures at their home and school.

#The biggest problem and main issue with the series nowadays is possibly none other than the infamous character, Jeffy. Despite being introduced in season 8, he kickstarted a ton of problems with the series and is at his worst in "Jeffy's Bad Word", and "Locked Out", the two most infamous episodes involving Jeffy besides "Jeffy's Tantrum". He is also the cause of one of the most terrifying online negatives. Most of his videos are simply rehashes of Bowser Jr.'s original videos as well. As time went on, he managed to spawn even more controversies in the channel, a notable quality throughout season 9. The moment where he crossed the line has to be in the infamous aforementioned "Jeffy’s Tantrum!" since the video almost caused a young boy to hang himself with a noose after seeing the episode. This caused Thirtyacre's YouTube channel to get demonetized and age-restricted. (see WIABBTDTHGBN <nowiki>#</nowiki>27)<ref name="TheFamousPeople"></ref><ref>https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/mum-claims-youtube-craze-jeffy-14025227</ref>
#*This doesn't help by the fact that seasons 10 and 12 have sped up the decline of SML with season 12 being considered the worst season by fans probably because the content was made during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of the characters such as Cody didn't appear as much since they usually tended to since Pablo was in quarantine. Season 12 in particular not only showed more misleading videos title-wise, but that year particularly showed that Logan was running low on ideas as well. Likewise, season 9 was also criticized for the over-usage of Jeffy with the channel getting entirely demonetized as mentioned before. Season 10 was even more criticized due to the flanderization of numerous characters being sped up more than in season 9 such as characters like Rosalina. Even the unlikability of already unlikable characters like Jeffy got '''taken up to 11'''.
#*To an extent, seasons 13 and 14, while better than the three years mentioned earlier, introduced the "puppet" cast. The puppets were not very well-received. Even the designs themselves (except for a few such as Mario and Junior) hardly resembled the original plushies.
# There are a lot of unlikeable characters including ones that used to be good but were flanderized:
#*Mario (now known as Marvin) went from being the down-to-earth everyman to becoming a massive henpecked husband butt-monkey with lots of episodes dedicated to Jeffy, Rosalina, or some other character making Mario's life miserable. Also, he would become the clichéd idiot father ever since "Jeffy Skips School" while also becoming a somewhat greedy jerk who cares about money, particularly in season 12.
#*Rosalina (now known as Rose) went from being a dumb but loving and kind girlfriend of Mario to an insensitive, excessively dull-witted, domineering wife who domestically abuses Mario and defends Jeffy for no good reason to the point where it's not only made clear that she considers spoiling children as good parenting but also implied that she '''hates''' Mario and only stays with him for Jeffy. She also counts as one of the very worst examples of an idiotic Houdini since bad things rarely happen to her and she seldom gets any punishment for her actions other than being stressed.
#*Beginning in late season 11, Bowser Junior (now known as Junior) became much ruder and dumber until he started developing '''sociopathic tendencies'''. He is also crueler to Chef Pee Pee and Cody for little to no reason whatsoever.
#*Black Yoshi (now known as It's Ya Boy Duggie) went from a badass and cold-hearted gangster who held a gun everywhere he went and would mess up anyone who crossed him to an unintelligent, lazy, and whiny gangster-wannabe type character who always pesters Mario to buy him the new ''Call of Duty'' game and goes great and dangerous lengths to obtain free stuff without doing any arduous work. For example, in "Black Yoshi's Big Bamboozle", he pretends to be a debt collector so he can steal credit card numbers to buy all sorts of his desired amenities and gets his nipples bitten off by Mr. Goodman as a consequence.
#*In season 12, Joseph's already divisive character suffered character derailment when he got a red shell with wings. This made him become more of a jerk while being a bland and greedy stereotype on par with The Goodman Family in "Joseph the Millionaire!".
#*Mr. Goodman went from a slightly dim-witted yet hilarious and entertaining comic-relief character who was also kind and friendly to a tyrannical and short-tempered mob boss who claims to own Mario's house and extorts him with "house payments" while threatening to rip his genitals or nipples off if he doesn't pay. He also rarely (if ever) gets any comeuppance. He's Peter Griffin, Carter Pewterschmidt, Wizard Kelly, and Mr. Krabs all combined into one whole character. In some videos he's in, however, he still has funny moments.
#**In fact, Logan never actually revealed why Goodman suffered a massive flanderization. This made the situation a lot worse.

#The humor and writing have gone from being funny and entertaining to lame, unfunny, uncreative, atrocious, and catastrophic. This caused the channels to have so many bad episodes, [https://smlvideohistory.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page see this wiki for more details]
#The characters seldom learn about their mistakes:
#*In "Jeffy's Parents," Jeffy promised Mario to be a good boy leading Mario to adopt him which made people hope he would redeem himself. However in the very next episode, "Inside Jeffy", it shows Jeffy acting like a brat again, which means Jeffy lied.
#*In "Mr. Goodman's Son!", which was Richard's first appearance, he makes an inspiring speech claiming that money cannot buy you important stuff like friends or happiness, which implies he would be the complete opposite of Goodman himself. However, in his next appearance, he behaves exactly like his father.
# From this era onwards, most of the videos are only about Jeffy, or if not Jeffy then Junior, which has had the effect of mostly pushing out characters that can't easily be placed in Jeffy and Junior videos.
#*Though Jeffy was only somewhat overused in season 8 because most of the videos were still Junior videos that have been overused since season 5.
#*In season 11 however, they tried to bring more focus on other characters but failed miserably, so in season 12-onwards, they didn't try to make other characters the focus of the video though there are exceptions.
#A large majority of the episodes nowadays have horrendous gross-out humor, mean-spirited characters, overused jokes, filler, and/or lazy attempts at humor. Examples of these traits include:
#* The very overused running joke where Mario tries to feed Jeffy green beans because "they're good for him", but Jeffy always refuses to eat the green beans because he hates them, though that doesn't stop Mario from attempting to feed them to him.
#*Cody making Bowser Junior pull a very long sausage out of his mouth in "Heartbroken" (even though it's kind of funny).
#*The incredibly racist and offensive running gag where Jackie Chu (the Chinese guy) "can't see" (even though in later years they have toned this down).
#*It also tended to overuse Bowser Junior calling Cody's mother a pig.
#* The gross and disgusting ending where Jeffy defecates in his pants at the end of "Jeffy's 17th Birthday!".
#*The unfunny and former running gag where Jeffy asks a character if they’re "high" or says that they’re "high as f***", especially to Mario, and also especially in the ending of "Jeffy's Tantrum!".
#*Jeffy, in the earlier videos, defecating in his pants. We do '''not''' need to explain this.
#*Jeffy thinks his arms are missing in "Jeffy Loses His Arms" when they aren't.
#*Nancy physically abused Jeffy in front of Mario and Rosalina in "Jeffy's Parents".
#*The episode "Pregnant Jeffy" features Jeffy, who was sixteen at the time, actually '''getting pregnant''', even though it's illegal for minors to have sex (due to the videos being filmed in Florida, [https://www.pumphreylawfirm.com/blog/what-is-the-age-of-consent-in-florida/#:~:text=Florida's%20age%20of%20consent%20is,commits%20a%20second%20degree%20felony. where the age of consent is 18]). Fortunately, that latter part didn't happen, as what happened was that Jeffy got zapped by a gun that could impregnate anyone.
#*One disgusting moment where Brooklyn T. Guy farts in front of Mario and Rosalina in "Jealous Brooklyn Guy!".
#*The infamous scene where Cody defecates his pants after eating Mexican food in "Bowser Junior Learns Spanish", is pretty stereotypical.
#* In both "Bowser Junior Almost Goes to Sleep Forever" and "Joseph the Hero", Chef PP/Joseph saves a character's life and makes them a slave right after, and if the character refuses to do their command, the abuser says they should've let the slave die.
#* Jeffy dresses up as Mario in "Jeffy's Future" and mimics everything he says for no reason.
#*In "Jeffy Goes to the Arcade", Jeffy somehow gets himself in the crane machine, and there is a ''four-minute'' scene of Mario and Brooklyn Guy trying to get him out.
#**Not just those problems, but many catchphrases are overused too such as Jeffy often saying "I don't have to." in a weird voice, Richard shouting 'Eww, poor!" and Mario screaming "JEFFY!"
#*The slapstick in this era went from being light-hearted and not too violent to falling to the same level as ''[[Herman and Katnip]]'' since a lot of the violence in this era is not only unfunny but also painful at the same time.
#*Throughout a lot of the videos in season 12, there's an overused gag of one of the characters singing a rap song. While this is good only a few times, jokes like these get overused after a while.
#Some webisodes can have good first halves but have bad second halves (eg. "The DNA Test" or "Chef Pee Pee's New Job"), leading to the disappointment of many and is an example of bad writing.
#*Some webisodes even rely entirely on one joke, such as Chef Pee Pee peeing things that sound like the letter "P" in "Chef Pee Pee Pees Peas", Junior being mad at Cody in the School Project, Cody getting beat up by the police in Cody’s Evil Twin or Bowser Jr. breaking cups and plates and blaming it on gravity in the episode "Gravity".
# Jeffy also never learns his lesson or finds any problems with the trouble he causes no matter what. As mentioned before, he promised to be a good boy at the end of Jeffy's Parents, but in the very next video starring him, he annoys Mario for the whole video, meaning he learned nothing.
#Many of the characters from the older videos like Mama Luigi and Tanner, are completely absent in the newer ones, as they make zero appearances throughout the entirety of them, and only some of them such as Luigi and Sheriff Woody have made comebacks occasionally, only to not be used after that, and since Logan got a Cease & Desist letter from Nintendo and many of their actors have left the channel, it's very unlikely they'll ever come back or get human forms since Logan only focuses on either Jeffy or Junior, and characters like Shrek, Toad, and Rosalina have been appearing less in each new SML video since then.
#Some videos have segments that have pretty crude animation. The best example of this is Jeffy's Sleepover where the animation was used in Brooklyn Guy's story, which doesn't help the fact it was animated by Nicktendo (not to be confused with reviewer NICKtendo). Though Nicktendo might've improved in his later years, this may be quite unacceptable.
#*Also the animation doesn't look that good, as the animation is very stiff and the character designs do not look that great.
#Many videos have misleading titles, like "Jeffy Loses His Arms", "Jeffy Plays Baseball", "Chef Jeffy" and "Jeffy's Online School". These videos only have Jeffy's name in the title to get more views.
#Some videos involve the character mocking the fans such as "Jeffy's TV Show".
#*One of the blogs on Chilly's channel, which was the video where SuperMarioLogan promised to get rid of Jeffy after getting his ads back, he took the promise out of context which also showed them mocking their older fans.
#One of the main criticisms of these three seasons would be that pretty much everyone tends to bully and torture Mario for unfair reasons to the point where it's completely understandable why Mario is usually selfish and childish: his "friends" and family are always being mean to him first. It's to an extent that Logan comes off as a sadist who derives perverse pleasure from torturing Mario.
#Introduced in "The Human Potion", Bowser Jr, Joseph, Cody, and Bowser all turn into very unappealing human puppets. Mario, Rosalina, and Bully Bill also receive bad human puppet redesigns in “Jeffy's New Friend”. Despite how poorly received the human puppets were, they appeared in a few future videos. The purpose of this episode was to accommodate YouTube's new regulations on family-friendly characters at the time. Boweser has the worst design ever! His design will be [https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/sml/images/0/06/Braxton.webp/revision/latest?cb=20210627222519 scaring more people.]
#As mentioned above, the entire SML channel became demonetized in 2018 during season 10 simply or possibly because of one character: Jeffy. The problem is Craig the Devil was instead blamed for the demonetization despite barely appearing in the series by that period.
#Junior and Penelope's relationship is so toxic and annoying because they always hating each other in more episodes. Thankfully their relationship was fixed by the YouTuber named [https://www.youtube.com/@awesomecontent9037 Awesome Entertainment] made a SML fanfiction animated series called Junelope.
#Most episodes could encourage you to do bad things such as:
#*Bullying
#*Lying frequently
#*Stealing things
#*Framing people
#*Crying for attention
#*Doing horrible things on purpose
#*Breaking things/damaging property
#*Not being responsible
#*Not listening to people
#*Being ignorant and oblivious to others
#*Submitting to and agreeing with an abusive relationship with someone
#* Cheating on others or Supporting it
#*Neglecting others' needs and wants
#*Being racist
#* Being homophobic
#* Taking advantage of others
#*Breaking rules without good reasons
#*Being sluggish
#*Kidnapping
#*Spoiling your child or punishing them too harshly
#*Not learning away from your mistakes
#*Lacking empathy and little to no proper common sense
#*Letting people walk over you
#*Being greedy and selfish
#Many episodes have terrible endings like "Jeffy the Psychic" and "Jeffy Wins the Lottery". Most Bowser Junior-centered episodes always have him and/or his friends losing at the end, which can be pretty repetitive and mean-spirited despite the fact they are all unlikable characters.
# It overuses stock sound effects, partially ones from the likes of [[Hanna-Barbera (1957-1970, 1981-2001)|Hanna-]][[Hanna-Barbera (1970-1980)|Barbera]].
#The episode "Jeffy's Kids" was so controversial and disturbing for YouTube that ''SML'' became age-restricted. SML's advertisements were also taken away, but after they were given back to Thirtyacre, he went back to his inappropriate content. This shows that he did not learn his lesson.
#While it's normal for a show like this to get unrealistic, they execute it properly. Some episodes are just too unrealistic to be considered legal.
#*For example, "Jeffy's Pet Shark" is about Jeffy getting a pet shark, which screams a total of '''7''' times in this episode. '''Sharks cannot scream, because they have no vocal cords'''.{{citation needed}} It is also somehow able to breathe on land and likes human food, most infamously cheese (which is like a dog liking chocolate).
#Many of the episodes have a question that is based on the plot of the episode, but at the bottom, it reads "Funniest comment wins a free video game!". But many of the episodes show it, even for sad ones which is rather not an appropriate time to add it.
#*For example "Jeffy Fakes His Death!" has the question "Who is one person that you never want to die?" which is a rather sad question since it was supposed to be for people to remember their friend/pet/family member that died. But the bottom text is inappropriately put there even though death is not funny.
#In recent times, there has been a lot of shameless self-promoting product placement for the SuperMarioLogan merchandise including at the end of videos nowadays. They even go as far as making '''entire episodes''' dedicated to promoting merchandise.
#Recently in the modern episodes, the soundtrack called "Earthy Crust" by Jingle Punks became '''way too overused''' in the series as it constantly appears on moments that aren't even that dramatic or just starts playing out of the blue (no pun intended), which is off-putting, annoying and ridiculous, because the soundtrack sounds more dramatic than what’s on the video and drags on for too long. Not to mention but there are videos where the soundtrack played more than once or twice. Even moments that were meant to be funny get sadly ruined by this soundtrack. It's almost like the channel is '''desperately''' trying hard to be dark and trying to gain any attention.
#*Its sister channel, Titototter, while better than SuperMarioLogan since they didn't get a cease from SEGA of America, also overuses the soundtrack and abuses it roughly 5 or more times which is played prematurely during moments when a character simply screams, or when something unexpected happens (especially when Sonic notices he's wearing a sailor suit) or even when it's not even that dramatic (i.e. Panda simply giving Monkey a banana), which comes off sometimes as unfitting and unnecessary.
#Despite making the transition into making family-friendly content, there are still lots of rather inappropriate things such as the "Si Papi" running gag, which is known as a sex joke.
#The series has straight-up abandoned most of its side series ending them all on an unresolved cliffhanger, many of which are likely never going to return because of the Cease and Desist letter from Nintendo. (Like ''Mario and Luigi's Stupid and Dumb Adventures'', ''Luigi's Mansion'', and ''The Pokémon Series'' as they include characters from Nintendo properties) Examples include:
#*''Mario and Luigi's Stupid and Dumb Adventures''
#*''Chef Pee Pee Quits''
#*''Luigi's Mansion''
#*''The Pokémon Series''
#*''American Idol''
#Thanks to YouTube's new rules, Logan himself had to get rid of certain characters because he thought that they would violate YouTube's Community Guidelines.
#*Doofy the Dragon stopped appearing in future videos due to his suicide jokes until he reappeared in "Jeffy Ball Z".
#Some videos don't have any disclaimers at the beginning of the video. For example, the infamous episode "Jeffy's Tantrum" doesn't have any language/content warnings despite having a scene where '''Jeffy tries to ''hang'' himself over a $3 SpongeBob SquarePants game''' (though it was also Mario's fault due to him being a crustaceous cheapskate).
#*(Note that this is aforementioned) Because of this, it probably led to a seven-year-old child attempting to hang himself the way Jeffy almost did in this video. The mother discovered her son and that he was inspired by SuperMarioLogan, so she banned him from watching it. She then reported it to the British [[The Sun (United Kingdom)|The Sun]]. While it is true that it wasn't Logan's fault that the child tried to imitate Jeffy, Logan should have at least put a warning at the beginning of the video to make sure that stuff like this does not happen.<ref name="TheFamousPeople"></ref>
# Most of the new channel remakes are mediocre at best and have several issues that keep them from being effective recreations of the originals, like unnecessary extra scenes, deleted scenes, inaccurate pacing, and for some reason removing profanity/explicit jokes (despite other recent videos on the channel featuring some profanity, like "Jeffy's Good Day!").
#Some episodes completely retcon older episodes from seasons 0-8, and early season 9, such as Jeffy's 18th Birthday which despite being an alright episode, retcons the death of Jacques Pierre Francois as an excuse to keep Jeffy on the channel, and it's sequel Jeffy's 19th Birthday where it's revealed that Nancy is still alive despite clearly being shot in the head and not jumping out of the exploded van destroyed by Simmons, and it's never explained how she's still alive since it was shown in the predecessor that Jeffy killed her, showing no signs of her ever coming back.
#On February 5, 2021, Logan received a cease and desist letter from Nintendo of America for using the Mario brand in a raunchy humor environment and misdirecting his audience. As a result, Logan announced that he would no longer use Mario characters in his videos and instead switch to the human puppets thus making them a '''permanent''' change. He also changed the channel name simply to SML to avoid any connections with the ''Mario'' franchise. Some people suspect the letter to be fake thinking that Logan is lying to his fans, but that isn't the case as the letter turns out to be real. Once again, many still believe the letter is fake and probably might’ve been printed either by a hater, Chilly, or Logan's second ex-girlfriend Adriana, all to make him squirm. This could lead to Logan's reputation dying for good if the videos don't involve Jeffy in them.
#*What makes this situation worse is that back in May, Logan revealed that he would delete his previous three main channels on June 1, 2021, and would be forced to use only the human puppets in his current channel. This has understandably left old and new fans upset but fortunately various reuploads of his content have been made. Plus, the channels weren't deleted on the day.
#*However, on July 7, 2021, Logan made a video on the original SuperMarioLogan Plush Show channel saying it would be deleted the following day and that SuperLuigiLogan and SuperBowserLogan would be deleted in the following months. SuperMarioLogan Plush Show was deleted as planned on July 8, 2021, and all the videos on SLL and SBL were private the following month.
#They sometimes like to appeal to the latest trends such as "Jeffy Plays Fortnite" (despite being decent) which was released in early season 10, "Jeffy's Fidget Spinner" uploaded in mid-season 9, "Among Us" (despite being a good episode) released in late season 12, "Squid Game" (despite also being a good episode) released in October of 2021, etc.
#* They even tend to cash in on '''controversial or unfunny events''' either by making references to them or videos wholly dedicated to them. Examples include "Jeffy the Boxer", "Bowser Junior's Big Discovery", and "Scooter's Birthday".
#Some episodes like "The Film Project!" have '''actual implications of pedophilia''', with an example being in the aforementioned episode in the Titanic parody scene, as in one part, Cody (a minor) tells Ken to draw him without the towel he was wearing and even mentions he wants to do so to '''show his genitalia'''.
#* Joseph's foot fetish jokes can also be pretty disturbing at times, being at its worst in "Star Stricken!" where he spent most of the video obsessing over [[w:Margot Robbie|Margot Robbie]]'s feet.
#Overall, Modern SuperMarioLogan feels like the web equivalent of [[Family Guy (seasons 8-present)|modern ''Family Guy'']] with them jumping the shark, the writing being downgraded to mediocrity, some (or many) characters being flanderized, teaching bad life lessons morals, containing many offensive and unfunny jokes and subjecting certain characters to needless torture while trying to portray the one being tortured as somehow having done something to deserve it (even if it was just expressing a personal opinion because having a different opinion is the equivalent of being Satan, it seems).
==Super Qualities==
#[[SuperMarioLogan (The Classic/Golden era, and Junior era, seasons 0-8)|The channel used to be good before Jeffy was overused and Nintendo sued them.]]
#Some of the jokes are still funny like in Jeffy's Taco Tuesday and Chef Pee Pee Pees Peas and in "Bowser Junior's Cookie Crisps" where Bowser Junior made the cookie crisp promo illegal by using other companies' catchphrases.
#There are still a handful of good/decent episodes, examples like:
#*Jeffy's Parents
#*Jeffy the Rapper (and its sequel, the latter of which started season 10 in high regard)
#*The Bet
#*Attack of the Killer Shrimp
#*Joseph's Mom
#*Zombie Bowser
#*Jeffy's YouTube Channel
#*Bowser Junior's Bad News
#*Black Yoshi's Call of Duty Loan
#*The Costume Contest
#* Black Yoshi's Koolaid Problem (Arguably the best episode of this era)
#*Mr Goodman's Son
#* Jeffy's Foster Home (despite the bad beginning)
#*Bowser Junior's 11th Birthday (Also counts as the best)
#*Life of Brooklyn Guy
#*Black Yoshi's Bamboozle
#* Jeffy and Junior's Big Heist
#*The Baseball Game
#*Among Us
#*Hunky Cody
#*Bowser Junior's Cookie Crisp
#*Jeffy and Junior Go to Prison
#* Jeffy Plays Basketball
#*Jeffy Loses His Voice! (despite the misleading title)
#*SpiderKen (and its sequel)
#*SQUID GAME (not to be confused with the [[Squid Game|original series with the same name]])
#*The Zombie Apocalypse!
#*The Baby Alien!
#*Cody's Magic Wand!
#*Jeffy Ball Z
#* Saw
#*Three Little Pigs!
#*The Film Project (despite the actual implications of pedophilia)
#* Jeffy's Fairy GodParents (a great parody of ''The Fairly OddParents'')
#*The PowerPuff Jeffy's!
#*The School Bus!
#*The Little Boy Who Cried Wolf!
#*Saw 2
#*Cops And Robbers
#*Jeffy's 18th Birthday
#The bonus content outside of the main channel like the BTS videos, Meet the Cast videos, and reaction videos are still fun to watch.
#Sometimes episodes do have good morals, for example, "Mr. Goodman's Son" has a good moral, the moral being "Money can't buy you everything" (even though Goodman didn't see it that way and slapped his son Richard saying such a thing), and "The Test!", where the moral is to not cheat on your test.
#A bunch of characters are still enjoyable including
#*Craig the Devil
#*Chef Pee Pee
#*Jackie Chu
#*Sheirff Woody (despite no longer appearing)
#*Bowser Junior (from season 9 to mid-season 11, before his Flanderization)
#*Brooklyn Guy
#*Cody Nutkiss
#*Harold Wilfred
#*Toad
#*Simmons
#*Dr. Finklesheetz
#*God
#*Bowser
#*Tyrone
#*Black Yoshi (despite his Flanderization)
#*Screwball
#*Ken
#*SpongeBob SquarePants
#* Loan Dolphin
#*Hansel
#*Shrek
#*PJ Crenshaw (despite not appearing until season 13)
#*Tom Brady
#*Charleyyy
#*Doofy the Dragon (despite no longer appearing, until he came back in Jeffy Ball Z)
#*Chives
#*Patrick Coleman
#*Thomas the Tank Engine
#*Timmy Huckerdoo (despite being annoying)
#* While no longer part of the main or recurring cast, many other past characters made one-shot appearances in this era and were great too, such as:
#**Mama Luigi
#**The Angry Birds
#**Luigi
#**D-Money
#**Minnie Mouse
#**Sonic the Hedgehog
#** Principal Steinback
#**Judge Pooby
#*Some of the new and new one-shot characters are also likable such as:
#**Mr. Krabs
#**Patrick Star
#**Cosmo and Wanda
#**Vicky
#**The Powerpuff Girls
#** Puppet Ken
#**Lightning McQueen
#**Tow Mater
#**Chef Pee Pee's Imposter
#**Tommy Pickles
#**Chuckie Finster
#**Angelica Pickles
#** Even the bad characters can be likable in some episodes, for example, Jeffy is likable in episodes such as "Jeffy the Rapper (and its sequel)".
#*Despite their Flanderization as mentioned above, Bowser Junior, Goodman, and Mario can still be considered fairly enjoyable.
#Though rarely, there is sometimes character development in the series:
#*Despite still having his aforementioned flaws and is still diverse amongst the fanbase, Jeffy has been slightly improving since season 11, as many of his recurring jokes have either been a lot less repetitive than they were in seasons 8-10 (though he still has some repetitive gags like "Si Papi" and "I don't have to) or have been phased out entirely, and he can even be aware of how asinine he is.
#* Following up from season 8, Bowser Junior was one of the few characters who got a good amount of character development and got some redemption to the point he could be considered likable for the most part. Though sadly, he did get flanderized beginning with season 11.
#After SuperLuigiLogan got demonetized, Logan moved over to SuperBowserLogan and made it a little bit more family-friendly, which might be considered an improvement.
# Most of the songs are pretty good and the beats are well made, especially in seasons 12 - 13 like "Get Hunky", "We Need That Mustache Back", "Booty Booty" and The Cookie Crisp song.
#The voice-acting is still very good (except for Karen, and Rosalina when she is yelling), most notably on Brooklyn T. Guy, Mr. Goodman, Cody, Mario, Bowser Junior., Joseph, Jeffy, etc.
#The series still has its action scenes, most of which are still very good (examples: The climax of "Attack of the Killer Shrimp", the second half of "The South Pole Santa", and the beginning of "The Cookie Jar").
#Some episodes have some throwbacks to older episodes. Most notably "Bowser Junior’s 11th Birthday", and "Jeffy the Pirate".
#The camerawork and the lighting have noticeably improved, with the series notably transitioning fully to HD and looking a lot better as a result.
#While most of the seasons have been bad or mediocre, not all of them are completely bad. Some of them can be considered average or at the very least, decent:
#*While it has its flaws, season 11 is probably the best season out of these seasons and is an improvement over seasons 9 & 10, since it had fewer bad videos compared to others. It has some videos that are widely considered to be the best in the series, such as "Junior's 11th Birthday" and especially "Black Yoshi's Kool-Aid Problem".
#*Even though season 12 is still an awful season for the series, it did improve during September/October of that year and the channel started to make more good episodes despite a few bad ones like "Pregnant Jeffy", and "Jeffy's New Year Resolution".
#**This can be noted in how most of the videos are getting longer and have more good plot ideas, Pablo coming fully back, and most notably how they began using more of the other major characters in the spotlight.
#*Seasons 13 and 14 despite the terrible cease from Nintendo, are slight improvements over season 12 since there are a lot more good/great episodes compared to the latter (despite the year going through a brief downfall in August and maybe September), especially during June and October. It also has a few videos that are widely considered to be the best in the series, such as "Jeffy and Junior Go to Prison" (which ended the SuperBowserLogan era with a great send-off) and "Squid Game".
#* Although the show milked the Jeffy videos for profit, in recent years, it seems to be having slightly fewer Jeffy videos
# Seasons 12 and 13 saw the arrival of new locations, such as the Forest, the North Pole Penitentiary Prison, the City Prison, etc. This could help make less uneventful videos taking place in only one location.
#The channel is against the dreaded [[NFTs]] and cryptocurrency, which is good news.

==Reception==
Even though there are still a handful of fans who like SuperMarioLogan, most fans gave this era a mixed to mostly negative reception, due to the flanderization of several characters, the writing being downgraded to mediocrity, the jokes getting way more disgusting and immature, and the overuse of Jeffy. This era is sometimes referred to as "'''The Jeffy Era'''" by fans. Not only did SML lose a lot of old fans because of this era (such as YouTuber Yoshi Player, who reviewed the show until season 8), but SML also became one of the most controversial YouTubers of all time because of this. Despite this though, SML still has a large fan base with kids and SML soon became one of the fastest-growing plush channels during this era, with its main channel reaching 9.9 million subscribers before its deletion in 2021.
===Lawsuit ===
In February of 2021, Logan received a letter from a lawyer from Nintendo of America stating that he had to cease all use of Nintendo plushies such as Mario or Bowser due to them being used in obscene videos, or Nintendo of America would sue him, meaning that he had to switch to his human puppets, which his fans strongly disliked. As another result of this, Logan stated that he had to forcefully take down his original YouTube channel, which happened on July 8, 2021.
===False flagging incident===
In early 2018, Logan found both the SML and SLL channels getting demonetized to the point where new videos were being instantly confirmed by manual review. In late April and early May of 2018, fans discovered the demonetization spree was being caused by a group of disgruntled fans who were reporting many videos on both channels, all led by a user named SkipDip. SkipDip stated that his motives were to force Logan to admit he had "scammed" people on Patreon and to force him to stop using Jeffy and Junior due to them being the focus of nearly every modern ''SML'' video. He claimed that by using those characters and rarely using Shrek, Black Yoshi, and other older characters, Logan was "insulting" fans of the older videos and not caring for them even though Black Yoshi still appeared semi-frequently and Shrek still got a few videos per year. A massive flame war broke out as a result, as some fans supported SkipDip's motives. Other independent users also mass-reported videos either to troll Logan or because they were overzealous moral guardians trying to "protect" children. As a result, it would take until August of that year for the demonetization spree to calm down.

'''''Peppa Pig''''' is a long-running British preschool animated television series directed and produced by [[w:Astley Baker Davies|Astley Baker Davies]] in association with [[w:Entertainment One|Entertainment One]]. The show first aired on 31 May 2004. ''Peppa Pig'' has been broadcast in over 180 countries. Currently, the series has eight seasons with over 394 episodes.
==Plot==
Set in a world where all characters are animals, long-running children's series following the adventures, mishaps, and friendships of Peppa Pig, her brother George, their parents, and the other animal families who make up their town. Each family is a different species of animal, and Peppa's friends include Rebecca Rabbit, Suzy Sheep, and Candy Cat. Each episode features a new adventure, and storylines often help children to understand new emotions and experiences they might encounter growing up.
==Why It Doesn't Deserve To Jump In Muddy Puddles==
#Unlike shows such as ''[[Bluey]]'' and ''[[Pingu]]'', which usually portray the main characters as realistically as they can, the characterisations in this show are not only unrealistic, but also really poor and clichéd:
#*Peppa Pig herself is a terrible role model as well as an extremely unlikable protagonist. Though she sometimes helps out with occasions and defends the toddlers (such as Zuzu & Zaza in “The Sleepover“, and George, Richard and Edmond in “[[International Day (Peppa Pig)|International Day]]“), she is mean to her family (especially her brother) and her friends, fat-shames her own father now and then, and she always gives out bad or clichéd morals to children:
#**In many episodes where Peppa has a friend coming over to her house, she often excludes George from any games that she plays claiming that he can't do anything because he's too little. Sometimes she even forces George to play with her games and even refuses to let him play his way, which is notable in "[[Richard Rabbit Comes to Play (Peppa Pig)|Richard Rabbit Comes to Play]]" where she and Susy forcefully make George and Richard play their games and they refuse to let them play the games that they want to the point where they both make both boys cry, which came off as misandrist. It's bad enough to forcefully make George and Richard play a game that they don't want to play, but apparently, Peppa thinks it's acceptable to force them to where they both cry?
#**As mentioned earlier, she constantly fat-shames her father (especially before Gerald Giraffe was introduced) with little to no remorse whatsoever instead of encouraging Daddy Pig to stay healthy and fit or to try to make him feel comfortable with his body. So basically, she just straight up makes fun of him and insults him about his body. She even makes her password to her treehouse "Daddy's Big Tummy" in "The Tree House."
#**She also counts as one of the worst examples of a Karma Houdini since nothing bad happens to her all the time, nor does she get punished for her actions, even if she did at times.
#***She also doesn’t get on the naughty list in Christmas-related episodes.
#*George Pig, despite not being as bad as Peppa and is somewhat understandable for his crying most of the time as he's only two years old and Peppa bullies him too, is mostly pretty annoying as he often says the word "Dinosaur". His crying is pretty annoying and repetitive when used in any episode of the series and he can be mean to other characters as well.
#*Daddy Pig, while sympathetic, feels like a clichéd cartoon father most of the time. He's like a British preschool version of Homer Simpson from ''[[The Simpsons (Disambiguation)|The Simpsons]]'' with none of the same charm while also being the butt monkey of the family since he lets everyone walk over him.
#** That said, even if Daddy Pig is fat and should do some exercise, it's hypocritical on his family's part to fat-shame him for this because all male adults in the show have the same body build. In addition, and as PhantomStrider mentions, as far as we know '''he's the most fit out of the whole family.''' He's the only one who can swim underwater, run in marathons, etc.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfyaUrBluko</ref>
#*Mummy Pig, while likable for the most part as well can somewhat be more tolerable and entertaining than Daddy Pig at times (like in "Funfair" and "The Blackberry Blush") is a cliched mother.
#*Suzy Sheep is even bossier than her "best friend" Peppa. She tries to make the toddlers do her bidding more than Peppa (such as in "International Day"), and also picks an argument quite often (such as in “[[The Quarrel (Peppa Pig)|The Quarrel]]").
#*Richard Rabbit is basically a clone of George, having the exact same interests and personalities.
#*The Queen is also problematic, due to being an offensive stereotype of Queen Elizabeth II.
#*Edmond Elephant is a clichéd smart kid and a know-it-all Gary Stu. He’s just a preschool version of Lisa Simpson, Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, Bill Nye, and Lisa Loud from ''The Loud House.'' but with a blander personality, though he can be charming at times.
#*While sometimes a funny character, Mr. Potato’s omnipresence in the series itself is random, especially when Super Potato was introduced. His annoying theme music and jingle that plays every time he appears and the fact that his design looks out of place doesn't help matters, either.
#**In the episode "Richard Rabbit Comes to Play", he is seen on the TV with his wife, Ms. Potato, saying "potato-potato" (the pronunciation of which switches back and forth between "po-tay-to" and "po-tah-to") non-stop, which gets really annoying quickly.
#*Out of the kids in Peppa's playgroup, Pedro Pony is the most unbearable. This is because of him being annoying, absent-minded, his voice, and the Baked Beans Song he sings in an episode that made him even worse. He basically uses the Clumsy Cliché 24/7.
#*While the rest of the characters are likable, most are pretty bland, clichéd and/or have little to no depth whatsoever. Some are underdeveloped, are introduced just to sell toys or to replace other characters. Some can also be annoying, unlikable and/or mean-spirited (though not as bad as the ones above )
#*There is little to no evident character development throughout the show. And because of this, most of the characters barely even learn or grow as the show goes along.
#Some of the voice acting and most of the animal noises are both just annoying to listen to.
#*Some of the animal noises don't even sound like their real-life counterparts. For example, the sheep noises sound more like nervous laughter than what an actual sheep sounds like, while Pedro Pony only says "neigh" and Rebecca Rabbit only says "squeak".
#*Not to mention that in "Teddy's Day Out", Zoe Zebra made a "neigh" like a horse despite both horses and zebras being equines and looking similar. zebras also don’t make that sound in real life.
#*While John Sparkes did a good job at voicing the characters he plays (The Narrator, Mr. Potato, Uncle Pig, and their variants), his narration is repetitive and obnoxious, because he constantly states the obvious (for example, "Peppa and George love building sand castles" and "Oh no! Cheeky Mrs. Duck has ran off with Peppa's boots") and never allows viewers to observe the information and take it in themselves. Even though he is a great actor and has done wonderful performances in other kids' shows like the fifth season of Fireman Sam and Shaun the Sheep, his narration in ''Peppa Pig'' isn't exactly one of them.
#*While the rest of the voice acting pretty okay, some can get pretty irritating and bland.
#*In some episodes, there is some laughable dialogue such as, "''I'm '''BORED'''..''" and "'''''ME too'''''" from "Garden Games"
#*In earlier seasons, Mummy Sheep uses the same exact animal sounds as Suzy, which feels extremely awkward as the animal sound is much higher pitched than Mummy Sheep’s normal voice.
#*In ''Peppa Pig Tales'', '''none''' of the original cast reprises their roles.
#Some of the characters don't resemble their real life counterparts, with the head shapes of the pig characters in particular looking more like a hair dryer, a whistleblower, a turbo, or a shell than that of an actual pig.
# The character designs and animation, while both simplistic, kind of cute and not too bad, are quite sloppily drawn, looking like they were made in some budget paint program. Because of that, the animation is stilted and stiff most of the time.
#*In earlier episodes, the animation is '''abysmal''' since it's extremely stiff, stitled, laggy, cheap, lazy, and looks like a PowerPoint presentation.
#*The crying looks rather unusual and pretty unrealistic since it looks more like a garden sprinkler than how it'd typically look in a cartoon. Also, it happens very frequently (mostly with George).
#**It also gets abused in some episodes such as "Digging Up The Road", "Edmond Elephant's Birthday", "George's Friend", “[[The Noisy Night (Peppa Pig)|The Noisy Night]]" (the most infamous example) and "The Baby Piggy".
#*They also look outdated in their aesthetic and look more like children's drawings (albeit intentionally, as the show was meant to be seen from a child's perspective):
#**The arms and legs of the main characters are long thin sticks, with the feet looking like upside down L's and hands that look like trees.
#**The lines of the characters' outlines overlap.
#**Perhaps most infamously is the characters' faces, due to how they never look directly at the screen and as such, their faces are always viewed from the sides.
#***Since only the sides of the characters' faces are shown, it gives of an impression that the characters have two eyes on both sides of their faces, therefore emerging a theory that they have four eyes and four nostrils. This was parodied in the "Jobs" episode of [[Don't Hug Me I'm Scared|''Don't Hug Me I'm Scared'']].
#****This is further evident by how in the case of characters who wear glasses like Daddy Pig, said glasses don't visibly reach over their noses.
#****And besides, it makes the show 2D because none of the episodes reveal the face from the front. But for some reason, the real-life Peppa Pig toys reveal that their faces are facing forward, rendering this part of the show's art direction meaningless.
#**The characters' clothes are just shirts, there’s no sleeves when worn. and even worse, they wear their underwear '''IN PUBLIC!!!''' (except when wearing fancy clothes or overalls)
#***In the episode "Washing" short sleeves randomly appear on Peppa's "dress".
#***In the episode "Potty Training" viewers can see that George's shirt is in half, this proves characters don’t wear pants.
#**This is also quite unacceptable for its time of release on 2004, as both ''Bleach'' and ''Justice League Unlimited'' came out the same year before ''Peppa Pig'', and both look miles better than this.
#*The houses have a generic design (being a two level house with a door).
#**The houses even flip depending on an episode.
#**Also, every location is on top of a hill.
#*The paragraphs are gibberish, examples include the writing Mummy Pig was doing in the episode "Mummy Pig at Work".
#**This could easily be bypassed by having a squiggly line to represent the writing much like in other media. Or maybe if they wanted to go the extra mile, put '''actual English writing''' rather than gibberish.
#*The locomotive looks inaccurate to real life locomotives, proving that the makers of the show didn't do any research:
#**It has a steering wheel. which in real life, locomotives obviously don’t have.
#***What purpose was this? To go around switches? To prevent derailment?
#**The train is mechanical, instead of running on steam.
#***This carries it out information that the firebox is replaced with a control panel.
#**The train doesn’t even have a whistle, instead having the "whistle" sound coming out of the funnel.
#**The train doesn't even have a tender or tank.
#**The train doesn't even have valve gears.
#**The coaches don't even have buffers.
#**Its dining and sleeping cars (coaches/carriages in British UK) have doors, which is just absurd.
#***It even has non-existent cars, such as a playing carriage and a cinema carriage, seen in Peppa Pig Tales episode "Cars, Buses, and Trains".
#***If the train has only 3 carriages, Then why are there four? '''''In the words of Rob Paulsen "Who built this train?".'''''
#*The show's credits are absurdly lazy, at the beginning, there are just a list of people who voice the characters.
#*This proves that the art designers never learned to draw or did research.
#It has very little common logic. Even though this is a preschool show, that does not excuse how nonsensical its logic is.
#*Miss Rabbit (and her father Grampy Rabbit) has a lot of jobs, in real life, if she missed her jobs, Miss Rabbit would either learn to live frugally with many restrictions, or quickly would become a burden on others.
#**Also, Miss Rabbit would technically pass out and die, due to working almost every day with no sleep. Yes, really.
#**How does Miss Rabbit handle her jobs? Does she have super speed? does she clone herself? '''nobody knows'''.
#*In one episode, the whole town is "flooded", and Granny and Grandpa Pig bring their boat on the flood, in real life, boats would break and crash in floods, yes boats work on water, but not ''floodwater''.
#*In one episode, it "snows" in the summer, which is just absurd.
#*In one episode, Peppa and her friends go to the zoo, even though all the characters in the show (except the pirate, the Queen of England, and Santa Claus/Father Christmas) are '''animals''', which makes absolutely no sense.
#**Although it certainly wasn't the creators' intention, this leads to the theory that the caged animals are wild and not sapient, but the characters are sapient animals, that is, the caged animals are '''slaves'''.
#Most of the morals are either poorly handled, shoved down kids' throats, clichéd or nonexistent in most of the episodes, not to mention some of them are very dangerous and irresponsible.
#*Peppa and George jumping on the bed in every morning scene to wake up Mummy and Daddy Pig encourages kids to do the same, which can be dangerous to the people and it could potentially run the risk of breaking the bed.
#*"Sun, Sea and Snow" encourages swimming in cold water at a snowy "beach", which can be dangerous.
#*"[[Mister Skinnylegs (Peppa Pig)|Mister Skinnylegs]]" and "[[Spider Web (Peppa Pig)|Spider Web]]" encourages children to '''play with spiders, insects, arachnids, and other kinds of anthropods'''. That's a terrible moral, because not every spider, insect, arachnid, or anthropod in the world is safe to play with. Especially in Australia, wow, several of them can kill an adult quickly. Imagine what they would do to a <u>'''child'''</u>! And even then, many spiders will '''bite''' anyone near them if they feel threatened, although a small number of spiders are deadly. Thankfully, Both episodes were banned from airing on Australian television for having this moral, although DVDs containing these episodes still exist there.
#*"Richard Rabbit Comes to Play" encourages kids to destroy their bedroom and make a mess. They also encourage older siblings to be selfish towards younger siblings. They also encourage someone to invite their friend(s) to one up somebody else (which would be revisited in a ''The Loud House'' episode "Friendzy")
#*"[[Edmond Elephant's Birthday (Peppa Pig)|Edmond Elephant's Birthday]]" teaches kids to always cry nonstop for losing at a game and being a sore loser for it.
#*"[[Pedro's Cough (Peppa Pig)|Pedro’s Cough]]" teaches kids to laugh at their parents for drinking the medicine. They also encourage kids to stay in school when sick with a contagious disease.
#*"[[George Catches a Cold (Peppa Pig)|George Catches A Cold]]" teaches kids that rain can cause sickness when in reality, it can't. Sure, there are some places that cause sickness by air pollution, acid rain and forest fires, but they still don't count.
#*"George’s Friend" teaches kids that taking all of someone else's toys is considered "sharing". Not only that, but they claim it’s okay to destroy someone’s personal belongings, '''which is considered as criminal mischief.'''
#*"International Day" has several terrible morals:
#**If someone wants to play soon, instead of waiting, fight with whoever is playing.
#**When someone is to see an argument, do not tell the person in charge. Join the discussion.
#** Without a doubt, the worst moral of all: When Madame Gazelle asks if the countries of the world fight, Peppa asks: "don't they?" Madame Gazelle replies: "Of course not!" '''This means that the creators want children to think that countries never had conflicts with each other, like World War I, the Vietnam War, the Israel-Hamas War, the Russian-Ukraine War, and World War II''', for example. It gets even more ridiculous when one is to consider that it was made in the [[w:United Kingdom|United Kingdom]], where they have Remembrance Day, '''a day just to remember the soldiers who died''' in those World Wars.
#*** This can however can be somewhat excused because the main environment Peppa Pig takes place in is in Kindergarten, so telling the children the fact that countries do fight can make someone feel upset or scared, but still.
#** It is also offensive and racist to people living in the countries that Peppa and her friends dress up as.
#Most of the music and songs, such as "The Bing Bong Song" aren't any better since they are very repetitive and obnoxious.
#*The theme song is mostly repeated as background music.
#Despite the characters being animals, there are many incidents were they sporadically have visible teeth, which looks VERY out of place (as they aren’t humans), weird and creepy.
#Some episodes such as "Not Very Well", "[[George Catches a Cold (Peppa Pig)|George Catches a Cold]]" and "Pedro's Cough" haven't aged well for...various reasons, including the COVID-19 pandemic.
#Mediocre writing that's confusing and makes the show feel like the writers aren’t trying too hard to write good stories at all.
#*The show has now been running for a very long time to the point where the writers are clearly running out of ideas. For example, the Season 7 episode "Monkey Has a Cough" is just a pretend-play of a toy having a cough. These episodes are made just to milk the show to death. Likewise, some stories were wasted potential.
#'''Quantity over quality:''' Like with ''[[Cocomelon]]'', ''[[Teen Titans Go!]]'', ''[[Ridiculousness]]'', and ''[[Alvin and the Chipmunks (2015)]]'', it has lasted for way too long despite the overall reception with the show lasting for '''7 seasons, 394 episodes''', and a lifespan of '''20 years so far!''' This shows how blind [[Nickelodeon (2011-present)|Nickelodeon]], [[Discovery Kids Latin America (Brazilian feed, 2021-present)|Discovery Kids]], Entertainment One and Channel 5 are to the criticisms of the show.
#The pacing is broken or inconsistent. It goes either too fast or too slow that made the show boring and rushed. This could be because each episode is a mere 5 minutes long, not leaving much breathing room.
#Despite being a preschool show, there are some parts that feel too intense for its target audiences. For example, in "The Carnival", the scene in which Mr. Potato almost ends up getting killed (or turned into French Fries) by the blades of Ms. Rabbit's helicopter when she first flies up in it to rescue him is a very intense moment, at least to the preschool audience, despite no such legitimate scene happening. Even then, it's rather disturbing that someone almost died in such a horrific way. Another example of a tense moment is in "Parachute Jump" when Daddy Pig falls out of a plane without a parachute on. Even though Mummy Pig catches him and him crashing through the school roof does break his fall, this is something that since he was the one with no parachute, Daddy Pig could have '''fallen to his death'''.
#This show has become such a cash cow for Entertainment One, [[Nickelodeon (2011-present)|Nickelodeon]], [[Discovery Kids Latin America (Brazilian feed, 2021-present)|Discovery Kids]] and Channel 5 that it has gotten to an extent where the show commonly introduces new characters, vehicles, and locations just to sell toys and nothing else much like ''[[PAW Patrol|PAW Patrol]]'', ''[[Postman Pat: Special Delivery Service]]'' and [[Fireman Sam (CGI era, seasons 6-present)|''Fireman Sam'' since Season 6]].
#*Their way of handling the YouTube channels aren't much better and might be even worse than the series itself. In fact, '''there’s''' '''too many channels that are no different each other and only exist just to farm cash.'''
#*Also, Discovery Kids went downhill mainly because of Peppa Pig, where it's spammed everyday. Worst of all, Peppa Pig replaces Doki The Dog as the new official Discovery Kids mascot and Peppa Pig does not have the same charm as Doki, especially since the latter teaches very good morals to children which Peppa does barely have any good morals. Even worse, Doki no longer appears in Discovery Kids in any promos or bumpers thanks to Peppa Pig.
#'''False advertising:''' ''Peppa Pig: My First Cinema Experiences'' and its sequel ''Peppa Pig: Festival of Fun'' are marketed as "films", but they are just '''''<u>compilations of 10 or so Peppa Pig episodes with live-action-puppet clips spliced in-between.</u>''''' And as a result of this, there has never been a proper theatrical film adaptation of this show even after all this time.
#Due to poor and/or confusing writing, the show has a fair share of mediocre or bad episodes. (See notable bad episodes)
#*At one moment, they once even cluttered the Terrible TV Shows & Episodes Wiki with their own individual pages which caused a ban on niche shows to have their pages here seemingly for good. But as of now, the ban has been revoked and niche shows were allowed there again.
#**Some of these episodes also count as filler as they don't add much to the plot. Also, the events never got mentioned nor brought up again with the characters acting like the events didn't happen at all. Heck, one can skip these bad episodes without missing everything at all!
#Some channels are obsessed with this cartoon, like Nick Jr. (block and channel) and Discovery Kids. Peppa Pig downright monopolised Nick Jr to the point where Nick Jr Too (the side network to Nick Jr UK) was even renovated multiple times to become '''Nick Jr. Peppa''' for a brief while, much like Nicktoons UK rebranding to NickSpongeBob at times.
#Every speaking character's last name is absurdly lazy and terrible. It's as if our surnames were "Human" or "Homo sapiens".
#*Every parents' first name is "Mummy" and "Daddy", It’s as if all our names were "Mummy/Daddy Human".
#The annoying use of the "Doot Doot" sound. There is a Soft one, a hard one and a medium one.
==Redeeming Qualities That Can Jump In Muddy Puddles==
#The character's designs are cute despite being poorly drawn.
#*The art style can also be cute and decent at times.
#*Over the seasons, the art style has improved, with backgrounds and props, along with the animation itself, getting more detailed and less rough.
#Sometimes, it does have decent (or at least passable), funny, and/or cute moments here and there. The quotes and even the dialogue too (despite some being laughable or mean-spirited) can be funny at times.
#*The jokes are also passable at times.
#*In later seasons (season 6 and 7 to be specific) the humor did get better, though they are unfunny or a hit-or-miss at times.
#*Some scenes are also worth a laugh, like [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jil0WCh_UoQ this scene].
#Most of the voice acting is passable or decent:
#*Brian Blessed does a great job at voicing Grampy Rabbit.
#*Despite being annoying as the narrator, John Sparkes at least did a good job at voicing the characters he plays (though sometimes it can come off grating).
#**Also, the narrator provides some good audio descriptions for blind people.
#**The rest of the voice acting pretty okay and despite some flaws, the young voice actresses do a decent job voicing Peppa Pig (for the ''most'' part)
#There are several good/decent episodes:
#*[[Thunderstorm (Peppa Pig)|Thunderstorm]]
#*Very Hot Day
#*My Birthday Party
#*Pancakes
#*Bubbles (which positively started season 2)
#*Pen Pal
#*Painting
#*Nature Trail
#*School Camp
#*Secrets
#*Dressing Up
#*George's Birthday
#*Fancy Dress Party
#*The New Car
#*The Camper Van
#*Cleaning the Car
#*Daddy's Movie Camera
#*The School Fete
#*Shake, Rattle, and Bang
#*Basketball
#*Scooters
#*Daddy Puts Up a Picture
#*Muddy Puddles (which started the show on a decent note)
#*The Olden Days
#*Mr. Potato Comes to Town
#*Potato City
#*Gym Class
#*Miss Rabbit's Day Off
#*School Play (which ended season 1 on a good manner)
#*Children's Festival/Muddy Festival
#*Most of the season 6 (expect Funny Music, Bat and Ball, and Please and Thank You) and 7 episodes
#**Speaking of Season 7, The American Holiday and Cruise Ship Holiday Saga is an interesting series of episodes and they started Season 7 and Karrot's era of the show, respectively, on a positive outlook.
#**Roller Disco is a pretty neat episode that revolves around Peppa and her friends roller skating and it's also considered to be one of the best episodes in the show as well.
#*In The Future
#*Grandpa Pig's Birthday
#*Mummy Rabbit's Bump
#*Swimming Lessons (a decent way to end season 7)
#The later seasons did improve a little bit, with there being less controversial and mean-spirited episodes compared to most of them from the earlier seasons, although they didn't improve by much.
#*The writers are beginning to add more original plots, although some are rehashed (i.e. Lotte Llama from Delphine Donkey, and "Winter Games" from "Snowy Mountain"), while others are made to milk the show and the writing (although not as bad as the early seasons) is still pretty mediocre.
#There are a handful of likable (or at least tolerable) characters in the show such as George Pig, Mummy Pig (for the most part), Daddy Pig (most of the time since he is not mean-spirited at all) and most of Peppa's friends (aside from Suzy), despite some being underdeveloped.
#*Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig, while generic and clichéd parents, do a decent (though not perfect) job at parenting Peppa and George (compared to Caillou's parents from ''Caillou'').
#**Speaking of Daddy Pig, he is very sympathetic thanks to Peppa always being mean to him and fat-shaming him.
#**They do have personalities of their own (especially Mummy Pig) and they do give Peppa her comeuppance at times.
#*George, despite being annoying when he cries, can be quite cute at times. And much like Daddy Pig, he can be treated as sympathetic due to Peppa bullying him most of the time.
#*Peppa's friends such as Emily Elephant, Danny Dog, Candy Cat, Zoe Zebra, Rebecca Rabbit, Freddy Fox, Wendy Wolf, Molly Mole and Gerald Giraffe are pretty interesting characters who are shown to be good friends with the Pig Family.
#*Mandy Mouse is very energetic, cheerful and likable. Despite being on a wheelchair most of the time, she's actually really fast and shares a great chemistry with Peppa. She's also a good representation for people with disabilities.
#*Peppa can be likable (or tolerable) at times when she's not mean-spirited. Plus in some episodes, she is shown to reconcile with Daddy Pig and/or George. She also massively improved in Season 7 and can admittedly be cute sometimes (though normally when she is not bratty). Sometimes, she does get her comeuppance. Especially since she's far more tolerable than her Vietnamese rip-off, Wolfoo from [[Wolfoo|the series of the same name]].
#*Suzy can also be tolerable and is admittedly funny at times.
#*Delphine Donkey and Lotte Llama are pretty interesting and unique characters, being good representations for people who speak both French and German and are novices at speaking English.
#*Penny Polar Bear is also another pretty interesting and unique character with two mothers, Mummy Polar Bear and Doctor Polar Bear respectively. Speaking of the two mothers, they're also good representations for people who are lesbians, and Penny's relationship with her two mothers is pretty heartwarming.
#*The other characters (such as Miss Rabbit or Madame Gazelle) can be also be interesting and/or likable at times while Grampy Rabbit can also be considered the best part of this show too. His wife, Granny Rabbit can be an interesting character. Also compared to Peppa and Suzy, most all not that mean-spirited at all.
#*The characteristics are passable at times.
#The instrumental version of the theme song is tolerable.
#*Other music (such as "The International Day" song) can be also decent and/or catchy at times.
#While being rare, it does teach good morals and/or lessons at times but this is in the case of most of the good or decent episodes (such as "Thunderstorm", "Cleaning the Car" and "Secrets").
#The worldbuilding is decent at times.
#Some of the backgrounds are passable.
#Thankfully, it at least doesn't try too hard to be hip, cool, and rad with the kids unlike most modern media that is [[Bluey|good]] or [[Caillou's New Adventures|bad]] (although that doesn't stop it from using the [["It's made for kids"]] excuse).

==Reception==
Back when ''Peppa Pig'' was first released, it initially received good reviews. However, people started to point out flaws with the show later in its run, and it has started to receive more of a mixed reception from parents, critics and audiences, while cartoon reviewers on YouTube mostly gave it a negative feedback, including PhantomStrider and Caddicarus. Both have criticized the show for its characters, lack of common sense, nonexistent and/or rancid morals, Daddy Pig being fat-shamed by Peppa and the family, the narrator constantly pointing out the obvious, and so much more. Caddicarus has always hated ''Peppa Pig'' so much that he made a couple of reviews on the show a few times. He even reviewed the ''Peppa Pig: My First Album'' CD as well as the 2009 Nintendo DS Peppa Pig video game that was made for the United Kingdom. The show currently sits at a 6.3/10 rating on IMDB, and 65% of Google users liked it.
Despite the mixed reception from audiences and critics, ''Peppa Pig'' is a very popular preschool show from the United Kingdom and much like ''[[Bob the Builder (1998)|Bob the Builder]]'' and ''[[Thomas & Friends (Classic era, seasons 1-8)|Tho]][[Thomas & Friends (HiT model and Sharon Miller eras; seasons 9-16)|mas]] [[Thomas & Friends (Andrew Brenner era, seasons 17-21)|& Fri]][[Thomas & Friends (Big World! Big Adventures! era, seasons 22-24)|ends]]'', the show is not only popular in the United Kingdom, but is also popular all around the world. Peppa Pig herself was a Top 10 UK best-selling character toy according to NPD Group in April 2011,<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/media/2011/apr/18/hit-entertainment-thomas-the-tank-engine</ref> and the show was second only to ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants (seasons 1-5, 9-present)|SpongeBob]] [[SpongeBob SquarePants (seasons 6-8)|SquarePants]]'' as the world's most-watched children's cartoon in the 12 months to March 2021, according to the ''Wall Street Journal''. For the year, it jumped from 103rd to 50th most in-demand show overall. These all stem from the '''exceptionally heavy airtime''' that Nick Jr. UK gives the show - it often fills up more than half the schedule and the second Nick Jr. channel in the United Kingdom is often turned into a channel showing only ''Peppa Pig'' for a month each time; same for Discovery Kids, Peppa Pig fills almost the entire schedule, not giving any chance for other shows to shine.
The show would also gain a cult following under a "so bad, it's good" charm.

==Trivia==
*In 2019, the creators of Peppa Pig made a CD album called "[[w:My First Album (Peppa Pig album)|Peppa Pig: My First Album]]". Later in 2021, it made the second soundtrack album called "[[w:Peppa's Adventures: The Album|Peppa's Adventures: The Album]]".
**Following the album's announcement, a Twitter interaction between the show's Twitter account and Australian rapper Iggy Azalea went viral after the latter tweeted "It's over for me now", in reference to My First Album being released the same day as Azalea's second studio album In My Defense. The Peppa Pig account responded with a tweet referencing Azalea's single "Fancy", before Azalea jokingly asked for a collaboration. The interaction and the album's release spawned several internet memes.
*For some reason, ''Peppa Pig'' fans dislike ''Fire Emblem'', specifically Lucina, as the ''Peppa Pig'' fanon wiki appoints her as the antagonist for whatever reason. It's one-sided, as ''Fire Emblem'' fans get a kick out of this, which had gone to memetic levels.
*There have been several video games based on the property:
**The first title: ''Peppa Pig: The Game'' was released for the Nintendo DS in November 2008. Following Pinnacle's insolvency in December that year, a successor company - P2 Games, was founded in February 2009, and released a Wii version a year later on 27 November 2009 for the Nintendo Wii, with distribution by Ubisoft. It is a children's video game to learn and play, and it contains 11 games and activities.
**A second game, ''Peppa Pig: Fun and Games'' was released on 22 October 2010 for the Nintendo Wii console and Nintendo DS hand-held game system. Asylum Entertainment and P2 Games remained as developer and publisher for the title.
**A third game, ''My Friend Peppa Pig'' was developed by Petoons Studio and published by Outright Games. It released on 22 October 2021 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Windows, exactly 11 years after ''Peppa Pig: Fun and Games''.
*There have been reports about kids in the US beginning to speak British English after watching a lot of ''Peppa Pig''. For example, tomato and zebra are pronounced in the English, rather than American way; words such as satnav, petrol, mummy and "biscuit" (instead of "cookie") are used; and comments such as "how clever," "Oh dear," and "can I have a go?" picked up. This phenomenon was not an issue for many parents; it trended with the hashtag "#PeppaEffect." Linguistics experts find those conclusions to be "likely exaggerated." A written statement by Entertainment One Ltd. when asked about this phenomenon went on saying: "Young Peppa fans see her as a friend…and, as we do with friends that we admire, pick up some of their characteristics...imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."
*Despite the Islam prohibiting pork, Peppa Pig got not only one, but TWO arabic dubs. [https://www.youtube.com/@PeppaPigArabicOfficial One of the dubs] aired on OSN Kidzone, and [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLutVVlhBBbLnkVKRyhvYPNQmVDA8EoRNw the other one] aired on Nick Jr.
*In 2005, the short-lived Cartoon Network preschool block "Tickle U", ''Peppa Pig'' was given an American English dub that is now almost completely lost and has no longer aired ever since.<ref>https://lostmediawiki.com/Peppa_Pig_(partially_found_American_dub_of_British_children%27s_animated_series;_2005)</ref>
**The original British version started airing in the US on Noggin in 2007, then later became part of the Nick Jr. channel when it rebranded. It also sometimes airs on the Nick Jr. block on the main Nickelodeon channel.
*In 2019, mature Peppa Pig videos were banned on TikTok in China after becoming associated with a "gangster" subculture and also for exposing children to adult content. However, the normal Peppa Pig is still popular in China.
*The show spawned several internet memes.
*This show along with ''Granny'' spawned the famous ''Roblox'' horror game ''Piggy'' created by MiniToon.
*There is another show created by Astley Baker Davies known as ''Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom'' which is considered a lot better than Peppa Pig due to it teaching better morals that this show would have thought, as well as having tolerable, likable, and humorous characters, interesting plots, etc. Sadly, one thing that is similar to another thing in this show is King Thistle being called "old", just like how Daddy Pig is constantly called "fat". Ben and Holly are also included in the Best Shows & Episodes Wiki before it closed.
*The face designs of the Peppa Pig characters were originally based on the other Astley Baker Davies shows such as "The Big Knights" (1999-2000) and their short film "Jolly Roger." (1999)
*Peppa and George both made cameo appearances on the "[[w:The Official BBC Children in Need Medley|The Official BBC Children in Need Medley]]" music video by Peter Kay's Animated All-Star Band for Children in Need in 2009, Peppa sang one of the lyrics for "Don't Stop" in the medley.
*Considering its' popularity, there are many shows that rip-off the show, which are Dolly and Friends, Kid-E Cats (which SOMEHOW also aired on Nick Jr.), [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UColXrjwWp_JRfOmFyoh5yPQ ''Pica Family''], ''[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeiroyQn7kpLuywRkeynwxw Tokki Channel],'' and most infamously ''[[Wolfoo]]''.
**Before then, there were many YouTube Kids Cartoons (in the mid-2010s) depicting Peppa.
*Peppa Pig's popularity has been going down in Latin America since mid-2023, and Discovery Kids still treats Peppa as their mascot despite this.

#*While the rest of the voice acting pretty okay, some can get pretty irritating and bland.
#*In some episodes, there is some laughable dialogue such as, "''I'm '''BORED'''..''" and "'''''ME too'''''" from "Garden Games"
#*In earlier seasons, Mummy Sheep uses the same exact animal sounds as Suzy, which feels extremely awkward as the animal sound is much higher pitched than Mummy Sheep’s normal voice.
#*In ''Peppa Pig Tales'', '''none''' of the original cast reprises their roles.
#Some of the characters don't resemble their real life counterparts, with the head shapes of the pig characters in particular looking more like a hair dryer, a whistleblower, a turbo, or a shell than that of an actual pig.
# The character designs and animation, while both simplistic, kind of cute and not too bad, are quite sloppily drawn, looking like they were made in some budget paint program. Because of that, the animation is stilted and stiff most of the time.
#*In earlier episodes, the animation is '''abysmal''' since it's extremely stiff, stitled, laggy, cheap, lazy, and looks like a PowerPoint presentation.
#*The crying looks rather unusual and pretty unrealistic since it looks more like a garden sprinkler than how it'd typically look in a cartoon. Also, it happens very frequently (mostly with George).
#**It also gets abused in some episodes such as "Digging Up The Road", "Edmond Elephant's Birthday", "George's Friend", “[[The Noisy Night (Peppa Pig)|The Noisy Night]]" (the most infamous example) and "The Baby Piggy".
#*They also look outdated in their aesthetic and look more like children's drawings (albeit intentionally, as the show was meant to be seen from a child's perspective):
#**The arms and legs of the main characters are long thin sticks, with the feet looking like upside down L's and hands that look like trees.
#**The lines of the characters' outlines overlap.
#**Perhaps most infamously is the characters' faces, due to how they never look directly at the screen and as such, their faces are always viewed from the sides.
#***Since only the sides of the characters' faces are shown, it gives of an impression that the characters have two eyes on both sides of their faces, therefore emerging a theory that they have four eyes and four nostrils. This was parodied in the "Jobs" episode of [[Don't Hug Me I'm Scared|''Don't Hug Me I'm Scared'']].
#****This is further evident by how in the case of characters who wear glasses like Daddy Pig, said glasses don't visibly reach over their noses.
#****And besides, it makes the show 2D because none of the episodes reveal the face from the front. But for some reason, the real-life Peppa Pig toys reveal that their faces are facing forward, rendering this part of the show's art direction meaningless.
#**The characters' clothes are just shirts, there’s no sleeves when worn. and even worse, they wear their underwear '''IN PUBLIC!!!''' (except when wearing fancy clothes or overalls)
#***In the episode "Washing" short sleeves randomly appear on Peppa's "dress".
#***In the episode "Potty Training" viewers can see that George's shirt is in half, this proves characters don’t wear pants.
#**This is also quite unacceptable for its time of release on 2004, as both ''Bleach'' and ''Justice League Unlimited'' came out the same year before ''Peppa Pig'', and both look miles better than this.
#*The houses have a generic design (being a two level house with a door).
#**The houses even flip depending on an episode.
#**Also, every location is on top of a hill.
#*The paragraphs are gibberish, examples include the writing Mummy Pig was doing in the episode "Mummy Pig at Work".
#**This could easily be bypassed by having a squiggly line to represent the writing much like in other media. Or maybe if they wanted to go the extra mile, put '''actual English writing''' rather than gibberish.
#*The locomotive looks inaccurate to real life locomotives, proving that the makers of the show didn't do any research:
#**It has a steering wheel. which in real life, locomotives obviously don’t have.
#***What purpose was this? To go around switches? To prevent derailment?
#**The train is mechanical, instead of running on steam.
#***This carries it out information that the firebox is replaced with a control panel.
#**The train doesn’t even have a whistle, instead having the "whistle" sound coming out of the funnel.
#**The train doesn't even have a tender or tank.
#**The train doesn't even have valve gears.
#**The coaches don't even have buffers.
#**Its dining and sleeping cars (coaches/carriages in British UK) have doors, which is just absurd.
#***It even has non-existent cars, such as a playing carriage and a cinema carriage, seen in Peppa Pig Tales episode "Cars, Buses, and Trains".
#***If the train has only 3 carriages, Then why are there four? '''''In the words of Rob Paulsen "Who built this train?".'''''
#*The show's credits are absurdly lazy, at the beginning, there are just a list of people who voice the characters.
#*This proves that the art designers never learned to draw or did research.
#It has very little common logic. Even though this is a preschool show, that does not excuse how nonsensical its logic is.
#*Miss Rabbit (and her father Grampy Rabbit) has a lot of jobs, in real life, if she missed her jobs, Miss Rabbit would either learn to live frugally with many restrictions, or quickly would become a burden on others.
#**Also, Miss Rabbit would technically pass out and die, due to working almost every day with no sleep. Yes, really.
#**How does Miss Rabbit handle her jobs? Does she have super speed? does she clone herself? '''nobody knows'''.
#*In one episode, the whole town is "flooded", and Granny and Grandpa Pig bring their boat on the flood, in real life, boats would break and crash in floods, yes boats work on water, but not ''floodwater''.
#*In one episode, it "snows" in the summer, which is just absurd.
#*In one episode, Peppa and her friends go to the zoo, even though all the characters in the show (except the pirate, the Queen of England, and Santa Claus/Father Christmas) are '''animals''', which makes absolutely no sense.
#**Although it certainly wasn't the creators' intention, this leads to the theory that the caged animals are wild and not sapient, but the characters are sapient animals, that is, the caged animals are '''slaves'''.
#Most of the morals are either poorly handled, shoved down kids' throats, clichéd or nonexistent in most of the episodes, not to mention some of them are very dangerous and irresponsible.
#*Peppa and George jumping on the bed in every morning scene to wake up Mummy and Daddy Pig encourages kids to do the same, which can be dangerous to the people and it could potentially run the risk of breaking the bed.
#*"Sun, Sea and Snow" encourages swimming in cold water at a snowy "beach", which can be dangerous.
#*"[[Mister Skinnylegs (Peppa Pig)|Mister Skinnylegs]]" and "[[Spider Web (Peppa Pig)|Spider Web]]" encourages children to '''play with spiders, insects, arachnids, and other kinds of anthropods'''. That's a terrible moral, because not every spider, insect, arachnid, or anthropod in the world is safe to play with. Especially in Australia, wow, several of them can kill an adult quickly. Imagine what they would do to a <u>'''child'''</u>! And even then, many spiders will '''bite''' anyone near them if they feel threatened, although a small number of spiders are deadly. Thankfully, Both episodes were banned from airing on Australian television for having this moral, although DVDs containing these episodes still exist there.
#*"Richard Rabbit Comes to Play" encourages kids to destroy their bedroom and make a mess. They also encourage older siblings to be selfish towards younger siblings. They also encourage someone to invite their friend(s) to one up somebody else (which would be revisited in a ''The Loud House'' episode "Friendzy")
#*"[[Edmond Elephant's Birthday (Peppa Pig)|Edmond Elephant's Birthday]]" teaches kids to always cry nonstop for losing at a game and being a sore loser for it.
#*"[[Pedro's Cough (Peppa Pig)|Pedro’s Cough]]" teaches kids to laugh at their parents for drinking the medicine. They also encourage kids to stay in school when sick with a contagious disease.
#*"[[George Catches a Cold (Peppa Pig)|George Catches A Cold]]" teaches kids that rain can cause sickness when in reality, it can't. Sure, there are some places that cause sickness by air pollution, acid rain and forest fires, but they still don't count.
#*"George’s Friend" teaches kids that taking all of someone else's toys is considered "sharing". Not only that, but they claim it’s okay to destroy someone’s personal belongings, '''which is considered as criminal mischief.'''
#*"International Day" has several terrible morals:
#**If someone wants to play soon, instead of waiting, fight with whoever is playing.
#**When someone is to see an argument, do not tell the person in charge. Join the discussion.
#** Without a doubt, the worst moral of all: When Madame Gazelle asks if the countries of the world fight, Peppa asks: "don't they?" Madame Gazelle replies: "Of course not!" '''This means that the creators want children to think that countries never had conflicts with each other, like World War I, the Vietnam War, the Israel-Hamas War, the Russian-Ukraine War, and World War II''', for example. It gets even more ridiculous when one is to consider that it was made in the [[w:United Kingdom|United Kingdom]], where they have Remembrance Day, '''a day just to remember the soldiers who died''' in those World Wars.
#*** This can however can be somewhat excused because the main environment Peppa Pig takes place in is in Kindergarten, so telling the children the fact that countries do fight can make someone feel upset or scared, but still.
#** It is also offensive and racist to people living in the countries that Peppa and her friends dress up as.
#Most of the music and songs, such as "The Bing Bong Song" aren't any better since they are very repetitive and obnoxious.
#*The theme song is mostly repeated as background music.
#Despite the characters being animals, there are many incidents were they sporadically have visible teeth, which looks VERY out of place (as they aren’t humans), weird and creepy.
#Some episodes such as "Not Very Well", "[[George Catches a Cold (Peppa Pig)|George Catches a Cold]]" and "Pedro's Cough" haven't aged well for...various reasons, including the COVID-19 pandemic.
#Mediocre writing that's confusing and makes the show feel like the writers aren’t trying too hard to write good stories at all.
#*The show has now been running for a very long time to the point where the writers are clearly running out of ideas. For example, the Season 7 episode "Monkey Has a Cough" is just a pretend-play of a toy having a cough. These episodes are made just to milk the show to death. Likewise, some stories were wasted potential.
#'''Quantity over quality:''' Like with ''[[Cocomelon]]'', ''[[Teen Titans Go!]]'', ''[[Ridiculousness]]'', and ''[[Alvin and the Chipmunks (2015)]]'', it has lasted for way too long despite the overall reception with the show lasting for '''7 seasons, 394 episodes''', and a lifespan of '''20 years so far!''' This shows how blind [[Nickelodeon (2011-present)|Nickelodeon]], [[Discovery Kids Latin America (Brazilian feed, 2021-present)|Discovery Kids]], Entertainment One and Channel 5 are to the criticisms of the show.
#The pacing is broken or inconsistent. It goes either too fast or too slow that made the show boring and rushed. This could be because each episode is a mere 5 minutes long, not leaving much breathing room.
#Despite being a preschool show, there are some parts that feel too intense for its target audiences. For example, in "The Carnival", the scene in which Mr. Potato almost ends up getting killed (or turned into French Fries) by the blades of Ms. Rabbit's helicopter when she first flies up in it to rescue him is a very intense moment, at least to the preschool audience, despite no such legitimate scene happening. Even then, it's rather disturbing that someone almost died in such a horrific way. Another example of a tense moment is in "Parachute Jump" when Daddy Pig falls out of a plane without a parachute on. Even though Mummy Pig catches him and him crashing through the school roof does break his fall, this is something that since he was the one with no parachute, Daddy Pig could have '''fallen to his death'''.
#This show has become such a cash cow for Entertainment One, [[Nickelodeon (2011-present)|Nickelodeon]], [[Discovery Kids Latin America (Brazilian feed, 2021-present)|Discovery Kids]] and Channel 5 that it has gotten to an extent where the show commonly introduces new characters, vehicles, and locations just to sell toys and nothing else much like ''[[PAW Patrol|PAW Patrol]]'', ''[[Postman Pat: Special Delivery Service]]'' and [[Fireman Sam (CGI era, seasons 6-present)|''Fireman Sam'' since Season 6]].
#*Their way of handling the YouTube channels aren't much better and might be even worse than the series itself. In fact, '''there’s''' '''too many channels that are no different each other and only exist just to farm cash.'''
#*Also, Discovery Kids went downhill mainly because of Peppa Pig, where it's spammed everyday. Worst of all, Peppa Pig replaces Doki The Dog as the new official Discovery Kids mascot and Peppa Pig does not have the same charm as Doki, especially since the latter teaches very good morals to children which Peppa does barely have any good morals. Even worse, Doki no longer appears in Discovery Kids in any promos or bumpers thanks to Peppa Pig.
#'''False advertising:''' ''Peppa Pig: My First Cinema Experiences'' and its sequel ''Peppa Pig: Festival of Fun'' are marketed as "films", but they are just '''''<u>compilations of 10 or so Peppa Pig episodes with live-action-puppet clips spliced in-between.</u>''''' And as a result of this, there has never been a proper theatrical film adaptation of this show even after all this time.
#Due to poor and/or confusing writing, the show has a fair share of mediocre or bad episodes. (See notable bad episodes)
#*At one moment, they once even cluttered the Terrible TV Shows & Episodes Wiki with their own individual pages which caused a ban on niche shows to have their pages here seemingly for good. But as of now, the ban has been revoked and niche shows were allowed there again.
#**Some of these episodes also count as filler as they don't add much to the plot. Also, the events never got mentioned nor brought up again with the characters acting like the events didn't happen at all. Heck, one can skip these bad episodes without missing everything at all!
#Some channels are obsessed with this cartoon, like Nick Jr. (block and channel) and Discovery Kids. Peppa Pig downright monopolised Nick Jr to the point where Nick Jr Too (the side network to Nick Jr UK) was even renovated multiple times to become '''Nick Jr. Peppa''' for a brief while, much like Nicktoons UK rebranding to NickSpongeBob at times.
#Every speaking character's last name is absurdly lazy and terrible. It's as if our surnames were "Human" or "Homo sapiens".
#*Every parents' first name is "Mummy" and "Daddy", It’s as if all our names were "Mummy/Daddy Human".
#The annoying use of the "Doot Doot" sound. There is a Soft one, a hard one and a medium one.
==Redeeming Qualities That Can Jump In Muddy Puddles==
#The character's designs are cute despite being poorly drawn.
#*The art style can also be cute and decent at times.
#*Over the seasons, the art style has improved, with backgrounds and props, along with the animation itself, getting more detailed and less rough.
#Sometimes, it does have decent (or at least passable), funny, and/or cute moments here and there. The quotes and even the dialogue too (despite some being laughable or mean-spirited) can be funny at times.
#*The jokes are also passable at times.
#*In later seasons (season 6 and 7 to be specific) the humor did get better, though they are unfunny or a hit-or-miss at times.
#*Some scenes are also worth a laugh, like [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jil0WCh_UoQ this scene].
#Most of the voice acting is passable or decent:
#*Brian Blessed does a great job at voicing Grampy Rabbit.
#*Despite being annoying as the narrator, John Sparkes at least did a good job at voicing the characters he plays (though sometimes it can come off grating).
#**Also, the narrator provides some good audio descriptions for blind people.
#**The rest of the voice acting pretty okay and despite some flaws, the young voice actresses do a decent job voicing Peppa Pig (for the ''most'' part)
#There are several good/decent episodes:
#*[[Thunderstorm (Peppa Pig)|Thunderstorm]]
#*Very Hot Day
#*My Birthday Party
#*Pancakes
#*Bubbles (which positively started season 2)
#*Pen Pal
#*Painting
#*Nature Trail
#*School Camp
#*Secrets
#*Dressing Up
#*George's Birthday
#*Fancy Dress Party
#*The New Car
#*The Camper Van
#*Cleaning the Car
#*Daddy's Movie Camera
#*The School Fete
#*Shake, Rattle, and Bang
#*Basketball
#*Scooters
#*Daddy Puts Up a Picture
#*Muddy Puddles (which started the show on a decent note)
#*The Olden Days
#*Mr. Potato Comes to Town
#*Potato City
#*Gym Class
#*Miss Rabbit's Day Off
#*School Play (which ended season 1 on a good manner)
#*Children's Festival/Muddy Festival
#*Most of the season 6 (expect Funny Music, Bat and Ball, and Please and Thank You) and 7 episodes
#**Speaking of Season 7, The American Holiday and Cruise Ship Holiday Saga is an interesting series of episodes and they started Season 7 and Karrot's era of the show, respectively, on a positive outlook.
#**Roller Disco is a pretty neat episode that revolves around Peppa and her friends roller skating and it's also considered to be one of the best episodes in the show as well.
#*In The Future
#*Grandpa Pig's Birthday
#*Mummy Rabbit's Bump
#*Swimming Lessons (a decent way to end season 7)
#The later seasons did improve a little bit, with there being less controversial and mean-spirited episodes compared to most of them from the earlier seasons, although they didn't improve by much.
#*The writers are beginning to add more original plots, although some are rehashed (i.e. Lotte Llama from Delphine Donkey, and "Winter Games" from "Snowy Mountain"), while others are made to milk the show and the writing (although not as bad as the early seasons) is still pretty mediocre.
#There are a handful of likable (or at least tolerable) characters in the show such as George Pig, Mummy Pig (for the most part), Daddy Pig (most of the time since he is not mean-spirited at all) and most of Peppa's friends (aside from Suzy), despite some being underdeveloped.
#*Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig, while generic and clichéd parents, do a decent (though not perfect) job at parenting Peppa and George (compared to Caillou's parents from ''Caillou'').
#**Speaking of Daddy Pig, he is very sympathetic thanks to Peppa always being mean to him and fat-shaming him.
#**They do have personalities of their own (especially Mummy Pig) and they do give Peppa her comeuppance at times.
#*George, despite being annoying when he cries, can be quite cute at times. And much like Daddy Pig, he can be treated as sympathetic due to Peppa bullying him most of the time.
#*Peppa's friends such as Emily Elephant, Danny Dog, Candy Cat, Zoe Zebra, Rebecca Rabbit, Freddy Fox, Wendy Wolf, Molly Mole and Gerald Giraffe are pretty interesting characters who are shown to be good friends with the Pig Family.
#*Mandy Mouse is very energetic, cheerful and likable. Despite being on a wheelchair most of the time, she's actually really fast and shares a great chemistry with Peppa. She's also a good representation for people with disabilities.
#*Peppa can be likable (or tolerable) at times when she's not mean-spirited. Plus in some episodes, she is shown to reconcile with Daddy Pig and/or George. She also massively improved in Season 7 and can admittedly be cute sometimes (though normally when she is not bratty). Sometimes, she does get her comeuppance. Especially since she's far more tolerable than her Vietnamese rip-off, Wolfoo from [[Wolfoo|the series of the same name]].
#*Suzy can also be tolerable and is admittedly funny at times.
#*Delphine Donkey and Lotte Llama are pretty interesting and unique characters, being good representations for people who speak both French and German and are novices at speaking English.
#*Penny Polar Bear is also another pretty interesting and unique character with two mothers, Mummy Polar Bear and Doctor Polar Bear respectively. Speaking of the two mothers, they're also good representations for people who are lesbians, and Penny's relationship with her two mothers is pretty heartwarming.
#*The other characters (such as Miss Rabbit or Madame Gazelle) can be also be interesting and/or likable at times while Grampy Rabbit can also be considered the best part of this show too. His wife, Granny Rabbit can be an interesting character. Also compared to Peppa and Suzy, most all not that mean-spirited at all.
#*The characteristics are passable at times.
#The instrumental version of the theme song is tolerable.
#*Other music (such as "The International Day" song) can be also decent and/or catchy at times.
#While being rare, it does teach good morals and/or lessons at times but this is in the case of most of the good or decent episodes (such as "Thunderstorm", "Cleaning the Car" and "Secrets").
#The worldbuilding is decent at times.
#Some of the backgrounds are passable.
#Thankfully, it at least doesn't try too hard to be hip, cool, and rad with the kids unlike most modern media that is [[Bluey|good]] or [[Caillou's New Adventures|bad]] (although that doesn't stop it from using the [["It's made for kids"]] excuse).

==Reception==
Back when ''Peppa Pig'' was first released, it initially received good reviews. However, people started to point out flaws with the show later in its run, and it has started to receive more of a mixed reception from parents, critics and audiences, while cartoon reviewers on YouTube mostly gave it a negative feedback, including PhantomStrider and Caddicarus. Both have criticized the show for its characters, lack of common sense, nonexistent and/or rancid morals, Daddy Pig being fat-shamed by Peppa and the family, the narrator constantly pointing out the obvious, and so much more. Caddicarus has always hated ''Peppa Pig'' so much that he made a couple of reviews on the show a few times. He even reviewed the ''Peppa Pig: My First Album'' CD as well as the 2009 Nintendo DS Peppa Pig video game that was made for the United Kingdom. The show currently sits at a 6.3/10 rating on IMDB, and 65% of Google users liked it.
Despite the mixed reception from audiences and critics, ''Peppa Pig'' is a very popular preschool show from the United Kingdom and much like ''[[Bob the Builder (1998)|Bob the Builder]]'' and ''[[Thomas & Friends (Classic era, seasons 1-8)|Tho]][[Thomas & Friends (HiT model and Sharon Miller eras; seasons 9-16)|mas]] [[Thomas & Friends (Andrew Brenner era, seasons 17-21)|& Fri]][[Thomas & Friends (Big World! Big Adventures! era, seasons 22-24)|ends]]'', the show is not only popular in the United Kingdom, but is also popular all around the world. Peppa Pig herself was a Top 10 UK best-selling character toy according to NPD Group in April 2011,<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/media/2011/apr/18/hit-entertainment-thomas-the-tank-engine</ref> and the show was second only to ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants (seasons 1-5, 9-present)|SpongeBob]] [[SpongeBob SquarePants (seasons 6-8)|SquarePants]]'' as the world's most-watched children's cartoon in the 12 months to March 2021, according to the ''Wall Street Journal''. For the year, it jumped from 103rd to 50th most in-demand show overall. These all stem from the '''exceptionally heavy airtime''' that Nick Jr. UK gives the show - it often fills up more than half the schedule and the second Nick Jr. channel in the United Kingdom is often turned into a channel showing only ''Peppa Pig'' for a month each time; same for Discovery Kids, Peppa Pig fills almost the entire schedule, not giving any chance for other shows to shine.
The show would also gain a cult following under a "so bad, it's good" charm.

==Trivia==
*In 2019, the creators of Peppa Pig made a CD album called "[[w:My First Album (Peppa Pig album)|Peppa Pig: My First Album]]". Later in 2021, it made the second soundtrack album called "[[w:Peppa's Adventures: The Album|Peppa's Adventures: The Album]]".
**Following the album's announcement, a Twitter interaction between the show's Twitter account and Australian rapper Iggy Azalea went viral after the latter tweeted "It's over for me now", in reference to My First Album being released the same day as Azalea's second studio album In My Defense. The Peppa Pig account responded with a tweet referencing Azalea's single "Fancy", before Azalea jokingly asked for a collaboration. The interaction and the album's release spawned several internet memes.
*For some reason, ''Peppa Pig'' fans dislike ''Fire Emblem'', specifically Lucina, as the ''Peppa Pig'' fanon wiki appoints her as the antagonist for whatever reason. It's one-sided, as ''Fire Emblem'' fans get a kick out of this, which had gone to memetic levels.
*There have been several video games based on the property:
**The first title: ''Peppa Pig: The Game'' was released for the Nintendo DS in November 2008. Following Pinnacle's insolvency in December that year, a successor company - P2 Games, was founded in February 2009, and released a Wii version a year later on 27 November 2009 for the Nintendo Wii, with distribution by Ubisoft. It is a children's video game to learn and play, and it contains 11 games and activities.
**A second game, ''Peppa Pig: Fun and Games'' was released on 22 October 2010 for the Nintendo Wii console and Nintendo DS hand-held game system. Asylum Entertainment and P2 Games remained as developer and publisher for the title.
**A third game, ''My Friend Peppa Pig'' was developed by Petoons Studio and published by Outright Games. It released on 22 October 2021 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Windows, exactly 11 years after ''Peppa Pig: Fun and Games''.
*There have been reports about kids in the US beginning to speak British English after watching a lot of ''Peppa Pig''. For example, tomato and zebra are pronounced in the English, rather than American way; words such as satnav, petrol, mummy and "biscuit" (instead of "cookie") are used; and comments such as "how clever," "Oh dear," and "can I have a go?" picked up. This phenomenon was not an issue for many parents; it trended with the hashtag "#PeppaEffect." Linguistics experts find those conclusions to be "likely exaggerated." A written statement by Entertainment One Ltd. when asked about this phenomenon went on saying: "Young Peppa fans see her as a friend…and, as we do with friends that we admire, pick up some of their characteristics...imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."
*Despite the Islam prohibiting pork, Peppa Pig got not only one, but TWO arabic dubs. [https://www.youtube.com/@PeppaPigArabicOfficial One of the dubs] aired on OSN Kidzone, and [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLutVVlhBBbLnkVKRyhvYPNQmVDA8EoRNw the other one] aired on Nick Jr.
*In 2005, the short-lived Cartoon Network preschool block "Tickle U", ''Peppa Pig'' was given an American English dub that is now almost completely lost and has no longer aired ever since.<ref>https://lostmediawiki.com/Peppa_Pig_(partially_found_American_dub_of_British_children%27s_animated_series;_2005)</ref>
**The original British version started airing in the US on Noggin in 2007, then later became part of the Nick Jr. channel when it rebranded. It also sometimes airs on the Nick Jr. block on the main Nickelodeon channel.
*In 2019, mature Peppa Pig videos were banned on TikTok in China after becoming associated with a "gangster" subculture and also for exposing children to adult content. However, the normal Peppa Pig is still popular in China.
*The show spawned several internet memes.
*This show along with ''Granny'' spawned the famous ''Roblox'' horror game ''Piggy'' created by MiniToon.
*There is another show created by Astley Baker Davies known as ''Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom'' which is considered a lot better than Peppa Pig due to it teaching better morals that this show would have thought, as well as having tolerable, likable, and humorous characters, interesting plots, etc. Sadly, one thing that is similar to another thing in this show is King Thistle being called "old", just like how Daddy Pig is constantly called "fat". Ben and Holly are also included in the Best Shows & Episodes Wiki before it closed.
*The face designs of the Peppa Pig characters were originally based on the other Astley Baker Davies shows such as "The Big Knights" (1999-2000) and their short film "Jolly Roger." (1999)
*Peppa and George both made cameo appearances on the "[[w:The Official BBC Children in Need Medley|The Official BBC Children in Need Medley]]" music video by Peter Kay's Animated All-Star Band for Children in Need in 2009, Peppa sang one of the lyrics for "Don't Stop" in the medley.
*Considering its' popularity, there are many shows that rip-off the show, which are Dolly and Friends, Kid-E Cats (which SOMEHOW also aired on Nick Jr.), [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UColXrjwWp_JRfOmFyoh5yPQ ''Pica Family''], ''[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeiroyQn7kpLuywRkeynwxw Tokki Channel],'' and most infamously ''[[Wolfoo]]''.
**Before then, there were many YouTube Kids Cartoons (in the mid-2010s) depicting Peppa.
*Peppa Pig's popularity has been going down in Latin America since mid-2023, and Discovery Kids still treats Peppa as their mascot despite this.

'''''Peppa Pig''''' is a long-running British preschool animated television series directed and produced by [[w:Astley Baker Davies|Astley Baker Davies]] in association with [[w:Entertainment One|Entertainment One]]. The show first aired on 31 May 2004. ''Peppa Pig'' has been broadcast in over 180 countries. Currently, the series has eight seasons with over 394 episodes.
==Plot==
Set in a world where all characters are animals, long-running children's series following the adventures, mishaps, and friendships of Peppa Pig, her brother George, their parents, and the other animal families who make up their town. Each family is a different species of animal, and Peppa's friends include Rebecca Rabbit, Suzy Sheep, and Candy Cat. Each episode features a new adventure, and storylines often help children to understand new emotions and experiences they might encounter growing up.
==Why It Doesn't Deserve To Jump In Muddy Puddles==
#Unlike shows such as ''[[Bluey]]'' and ''[[Pingu]]'', which usually portray the main characters as realistically as they can, the characterisations in this show are not only unrealistic, but also really poor and clichéd:
#*Peppa Pig herself is a terrible role model as well as an extremely unlikable protagonist. Though she sometimes helps out with occasions and defends the toddlers (such as Zuzu & Zaza in “The Sleepover“, and George, Richard and Edmond in “[[International Day (Peppa Pig)|International Day]]“), she is mean to her family (especially her brother) and her friends, fat-shames her own father now and then, and she always gives out bad or clichéd morals to children:
#**In many episodes where Peppa has a friend coming over to her house, she often excludes George from any games that she plays claiming that he can't do anything because he's too little. Sometimes she even forces George to play with her games and even refuses to let him play his way, which is notable in "[[Richard Rabbit Comes to Play (Peppa Pig)|Richard Rabbit Comes to Play]]" where she and Susy forcefully make George and Richard play their games and they refuse to let them play the games that they want to the point where they both make both boys cry, which came off as misandrist. It's bad enough to forcefully make George and Richard play a game that they don't want to play, but apparently, Peppa thinks it's acceptable to force them to where they both cry?
#**As mentioned earlier, she constantly fat-shames her father (especially before Gerald Giraffe was introduced) with little to no remorse whatsoever instead of encouraging Daddy Pig to stay healthy and fit or to try to make him feel comfortable with his body. So basically, she just straight up makes fun of him and insults him about his body. She even makes her password to her treehouse "Daddy's Big Tummy" in "The Tree House."
#**She also counts as one of the worst examples of a Karma Houdini since nothing bad happens to her all the time, nor does she get punished for her actions, even if she did at times.
#***She also doesn’t get on the naughty list in Christmas-related episodes.
#*George Pig, despite not being as bad as Peppa and is somewhat understandable for his crying most of the time as he's only two years old and Peppa bullies him too, is mostly pretty annoying as he often says the word "Dinosaur". His crying is pretty annoying and repetitive when used in any episode of the series and he can be mean to other characters as well.
#*Daddy Pig, while sympathetic, feels like a clichéd cartoon father most of the time. He's like a British preschool version of Homer Simpson from ''[[The Simpsons (Disambiguation)|The Simpsons]]'' with none of the same charm while also being the butt monkey of the family since he lets everyone walk over him.
#** That said, even if Daddy Pig is fat and should do some exercise, it's hypocritical on his family's part to fat-shame him for this because all male adults in the show have the same body build. In addition, and as PhantomStrider mentions, as far as we know '''he's the most fit out of the whole family.''' He's the only one who can swim underwater, run in marathons, etc.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfyaUrBluko</ref>
#*Mummy Pig, while likable for the most part as well can somewhat be more tolerable and entertaining than Daddy Pig at times (like in "Funfair" and "The Blackberry Blush") is a cliched mother.
#*Suzy Sheep is even bossier than her "best friend" Peppa. She tries to make the toddlers do her bidding more than Peppa (such as in "International Day"), and also picks an argument quite often (such as in “[[The Quarrel (Peppa Pig)|The Quarrel]]").
#*Richard Rabbit is basically a clone of George, having the exact same interests and personalities.
#*The Queen is also problematic, due to being an offensive stereotype of Queen Elizabeth II.
#*Edmond Elephant is a clichéd smart kid and a know-it-all Gary Stu. He’s just a preschool version of Lisa Simpson, Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, Bill Nye, and Lisa Loud from ''The Loud House.'' but with a blander personality, though he can be charming at times.
#*While sometimes a funny character, Mr. Potato’s omnipresence in the series itself is random, especially when Super Potato was introduced. His annoying theme music and jingle that plays every time he appears and the fact that his design looks out of place doesn't help matters, either.
#**In the episode "Richard Rabbit Comes to Play", he is seen on the TV with his wife, Ms. Potato, saying "potato-potato" (the pronunciation of which switches back and forth between "po-tay-to" and "po-tah-to") non-stop, which gets really annoying quickly.
#*Out of the kids in Peppa's playgroup, Pedro Pony is the most unbearable. This is because of him being annoying, absent-minded, his voice, and the Baked Beans Song he sings in an episode that made him even worse. He basically uses the Clumsy Cliché 24/7.
#*While the rest of the characters are likable, most are pretty bland, clichéd and/or have little to no depth whatsoever. Some are underdeveloped, are introduced just to sell toys or to replace other characters. Some can also be annoying, unlikable and/or mean-spirited (though not as bad as the ones above )
#*There is little to no evident character development throughout the show. And because of this, most of the characters barely even learn or grow as the show goes along.
#Some of the voice acting and most of the animal noises are both just annoying to listen to.
#*Some of the animal noises don't even sound like their real-life counterparts. For example, the sheep noises sound more like nervous laughter than what an actual sheep sounds like, while Pedro Pony only says "neigh" and Rebecca Rabbit only says "squeak".
#*Not to mention that in "Teddy's Day Out", Zoe Zebra made a "neigh" like a horse despite both horses and zebras being equines and looking similar. zebras also don’t make that sound in real life.
#*While John Sparkes did a good job at voicing the characters he plays (The Narrator, Mr. Potato, Uncle Pig, and their variants), his narration is repetitive and obnoxious, because he constantly states the obvious (for example, "Peppa and George love building sand castles" and "Oh no! Cheeky Mrs. Duck has ran off with Peppa's boots") and never allows viewers to observe the information and take it in themselves. Even though he is a great actor and has done wonderful performances in other kids' shows like the fifth season of Fireman Sam and Shaun the Sheep, his narration in ''Peppa Pig'' isn't exactly one of them.
#*While the rest of the voice acting pretty okay, some can get pretty irritating and bland.
#*In some episodes, there is some laughable dialogue such as, "''I'm '''BORED'''..''" and "'''''ME too'''''" from "Garden Games"
#*In earlier seasons, Mummy Sheep uses the same exact animal sounds as Suzy, which feels extremely awkward as the animal sound is much higher pitched than Mummy Sheep’s normal voice.
#*In ''Peppa Pig Tales'', '''none''' of the original cast reprises their roles.
#Some of the characters don't resemble their real life counterparts, with the head shapes of the pig characters in particular looking more like a hair dryer, a whistleblower, a turbo, or a shell than that of an actual pig.
# The character designs and animation, while both simplistic, kind of cute and not too bad, are quite sloppily drawn, looking like they were made in some budget paint program. Because of that, the animation is stilted and stiff most of the time.
#*In earlier episodes, the animation is '''abysmal''' since it's extremely stiff, stitled, laggy, cheap, lazy, and looks like a PowerPoint presentation.
#*The crying looks rather unusual and pretty unrealistic since it looks more like a garden sprinkler than how it'd typically look in a cartoon. Also, it happens very frequently (mostly with George).
#**It also gets abused in some episodes such as "Digging Up The Road", "Edmond Elephant's Birthday", "George's Friend", “[[The Noisy Night (Peppa Pig)|The Noisy Night]]" (the most infamous example) and "The Baby Piggy".
#*They also look outdated in their aesthetic and look more like children's drawings (albeit intentionally, as the show was meant to be seen from a child's perspective):
#**The arms and legs of the main characters are long thin sticks, with the feet looking like upside down L's and hands that look like trees.
#**The lines of the characters' outlines overlap.
#**Perhaps most infamously is the characters' faces, due to how they never look directly at the screen and as such, their faces are always viewed from the sides.
#***Since only the sides of the characters' faces are shown, it gives of an impression that the characters have two eyes on both sides of their faces, therefore emerging a theory that they have four eyes and four nostrils. This was parodied in the "Jobs" episode of [[Don't Hug Me I'm Scared|''Don't Hug Me I'm Scared'']].
#****This is further evident by how in the case of characters who wear glasses like Daddy Pig, said glasses don't visibly reach over their noses.
#****And besides, it makes the show 2D because none of the episodes reveal the face from the front. But for some reason, the real-life Peppa Pig toys reveal that their faces are facing forward, rendering this part of the show's art direction meaningless.
#**The characters' clothes are just shirts, there’s no sleeves when worn. and even worse, they wear their underwear '''IN PUBLIC!!!''' (except when wearing fancy clothes or overalls)
#***In the episode "Washing" short sleeves randomly appear on Peppa's "dress".
#***In the episode "Potty Training" viewers can see that George's shirt is in half, this proves characters don’t wear pants.
#**This is also quite unacceptable for its time of release on 2004, as both ''Bleach'' and ''Justice League Unlimited'' came out the same year before ''Peppa Pig'', and both look miles better than this.
#*The houses have a generic design (being a two level house with a door).
#**The houses even flip depending on an episode.
#**Also, every location is on top of a hill.
#*The paragraphs are gibberish, examples include the writing Mummy Pig was doing in the episode "Mummy Pig at Work".
#**This could easily be bypassed by having a squiggly line to represent the writing much like in other media. Or maybe if they wanted to go the extra mile, put '''actual English writing''' rather than gibberish.
#*The locomotive looks inaccurate to real life locomotives, proving that the makers of the show didn't do any research:
#**It has a steering wheel. which in real life, locomotives obviously don’t have.
#***What purpose was this? To go around switches? To prevent derailment?
#**The train is mechanical, instead of running on steam.
#***This carries it out information that the firebox is replaced with a control panel.
#**The train doesn’t even have a whistle, instead having the "whistle" sound coming out of the funnel.
#**The train doesn't even have a tender or tank.
#**The train doesn't even have valve gears.
#**The coaches don't even have buffers.
#**Its dining and sleeping cars (coaches/carriages in British UK) have doors, which is just absurd.
#***It even has non-existent cars, such as a playing carriage and a cinema carriage, seen in Peppa Pig Tales episode "Cars, Buses, and Trains".
#***If the train has only 3 carriages, Then why are there four? '''''In the words of Rob Paulsen "Who built this train?".'''''
#*The show's credits are absurdly lazy, at the beginning, there are just a list of people who voice the characters.
#*This proves that the art designers never learned to draw or did research.
#It has very little common logic. Even though this is a preschool show, that does not excuse how nonsensical its logic is.
#*Miss Rabbit (and her father Grampy Rabbit) has a lot of jobs, in real life, if she missed her jobs, Miss Rabbit would either learn to live frugally with many restrictions, or quickly would become a burden on others.
#**Also, Miss Rabbit would technically pass out and die, due to working almost every day with no sleep. Yes, really.
#**How does Miss Rabbit handle her jobs? Does she have super speed? does she clone herself? '''nobody knows'''.
#*In one episode, the whole town is "flooded", and Granny and Grandpa Pig bring their boat on the flood, in real life, boats would break and crash in floods, yes boats work on water, but not ''floodwater''.
#*In one episode, it "snows" in the summer, which is just absurd.
#*In one episode, Peppa and her friends go to the zoo, even though all the characters in the show (except the pirate, the Queen of England, and Santa Claus/Father Christmas) are '''animals''', which makes absolutely no sense.
#**Although it certainly wasn't the creators' intention, this leads to the theory that the caged animals are wild and not sapient, but the characters are sapient animals, that is, the caged animals are '''slaves'''.
#Most of the morals are either poorly handled, shoved down kids' throats, clichéd or nonexistent in most of the episodes, not to mention some of them are very dangerous and irresponsible.
#*Peppa and George jumping on the bed in every morning scene to wake up Mummy and Daddy Pig encourages kids to do the same, which can be dangerous to the people and it could potentially run the risk of breaking the bed.
#*"Sun, Sea and Snow" encourages swimming in cold water at a snowy "beach", which can be dangerous.
#*"[[Mister Skinnylegs (Peppa Pig)|Mister Skinnylegs]]" and "[[Spider Web (Peppa Pig)|Spider Web]]" encourages children to '''play with spiders, insects, arachnids, and other kinds of anthropods'''. That's a terrible moral, because not every spider, insect, arachnid, or anthropod in the world is safe to play with. Especially in Australia, wow, several of them can kill an adult quickly. Imagine what they would do to a <u>'''child'''</u>! And even then, many spiders will '''bite''' anyone near them if they feel threatened, although a small number of spiders are deadly. Thankfully, Both episodes were banned from airing on Australian television for having this moral, although DVDs containing these episodes still exist there.
#*"Richard Rabbit Comes to Play" encourages kids to destroy their bedroom and make a mess. They also encourage older siblings to be selfish towards younger siblings. They also encourage someone to invite their friend(s) to one up somebody else (which would be revisited in a ''The Loud House'' episode "Friendzy")
#*"[[Edmond Elephant's Birthday (Peppa Pig)|Edmond Elephant's Birthday]]" teaches kids to always cry nonstop for losing at a game and being a sore loser for it.
#*"[[Pedro's Cough (Peppa Pig)|Pedro’s Cough]]" teaches kids to laugh at their parents for drinking the medicine. They also encourage kids to stay in school when sick with a contagious disease.
#*"[[George Catches a Cold (Peppa Pig)|George Catches A Cold]]" teaches kids that rain can cause sickness when in reality, it can't. Sure, there are some places that cause sickness by air pollution, acid rain and forest fires, but they still don't count.
#*"George’s Friend" teaches kids that taking all of someone else's toys is considered "sharing". Not only that, but they claim it’s okay to destroy someone’s personal belongings, '''which is considered as criminal mischief.'''
#*"International Day" has several terrible morals:
#**If someone wants to play soon, instead of waiting, fight with whoever is playing.
#**When someone is to see an argument, do not tell the person in charge. Join the discussion.
#** Without a doubt, the worst moral of all: When Madame Gazelle asks if the countries of the world fight, Peppa asks: "don't they?" Madame Gazelle replies: "Of course not!" '''This means that the creators want children to think that countries never had conflicts with each other, like World War I, the Vietnam War, the Israel-Hamas War, the Russian-Ukraine War, and World War II''', for example. It gets even more ridiculous when one is to consider that it was made in the [[w:United Kingdom|United Kingdom]], where they have Remembrance Day, '''a day just to remember the soldiers who died''' in those World Wars.
#*** This can however can be somewhat excused because the main environment Peppa Pig takes place in is in Kindergarten, so telling the children the fact that countries do fight can make someone feel upset or scared, but still.
#** It is also offensive and racist to people living in the countries that Peppa and her friends dress up as.
#Most of the music and songs, such as "The Bing Bong Song" aren't any better since they are very repetitive and obnoxious.
#*The theme song is mostly repeated as background music.
#Despite the characters being animals, there are many incidents were they sporadically have visible teeth, which looks VERY out of place (as they aren’t humans), weird and creepy.
#Some episodes such as "Not Very Well", "[[George Catches a Cold (Peppa Pig)|George Catches a Cold]]" and "Pedro's Cough" haven't aged well for...various reasons, including the COVID-19 pandemic.
#Mediocre writing that's confusing and makes the show feel like the writers aren’t trying too hard to write good stories at all.
#*The show has now been running for a very long time to the point where the writers are clearly running out of ideas. For example, the Season 7 episode "Monkey Has a Cough" is just a pretend-play of a toy having a cough. These episodes are made just to milk the show to death. Likewise, some stories were wasted potential.
#'''Quantity over quality:''' Like with ''[[Cocomelon]]'', ''[[Teen Titans Go!]]'', ''[[Ridiculousness]]'', and ''[[Alvin and the Chipmunks (2015)]]'', it has lasted for way too long despite the overall reception with the show lasting for '''7 seasons, 394 episodes''', and a lifespan of '''20 years so far!''' This shows how blind [[Nickelodeon (2011-present)|Nickelodeon]], [[Discovery Kids Latin America (Brazilian feed, 2021-present)|Discovery Kids]], Entertainment One and Channel 5 are to the criticisms of the show.
#The pacing is broken or inconsistent. It goes either too fast or too slow that made the show boring and rushed. This could be because each episode is a mere 5 minutes long, not leaving much breathing room.
#Despite being a preschool show, there are some parts that feel too intense for its target audiences. For example, in "The Carnival", the scene in which Mr. Potato almost ends up getting killed (or turned into French Fries) by the blades of Ms. Rabbit's helicopter when she first flies up in it to rescue him is a very intense moment, at least to the preschool audience, despite no such legitimate scene happening. Even then, it's rather disturbing that someone almost died in such a horrific way. Another example of a tense moment is in "Parachute Jump" when Daddy Pig falls out of a plane without a parachute on. Even though Mummy Pig catches him and him crashing through the school roof does break his fall, this is something that since he was the one with no parachute, Daddy Pig could have '''fallen to his death'''.
#This show has become such a cash cow for Entertainment One, [[Nickelodeon (2011-present)|Nickelodeon]], [[Discovery Kids Latin America (Brazilian feed, 2021-present)|Discovery Kids]] and Channel 5 that it has gotten to an extent where the show commonly introduces new characters, vehicles, and locations just to sell toys and nothing else much like ''[[PAW Patrol|PAW Patrol]]'', ''[[Postman Pat: Special Delivery Service]]'' and [[Fireman Sam (CGI era, seasons 6-present)|''Fireman Sam'' since Season 6]].
#*Their way of handling the YouTube channels aren't much better and might be even worse than the series itself. In fact, '''there’s''' '''too many channels that are no different each other and only exist just to farm cash.'''
#*Also, Discovery Kids went downhill mainly because of Peppa Pig, where it's spammed everyday. Worst of all, Peppa Pig replaces Doki The Dog as the new official Discovery Kids mascot and Peppa Pig does not have the same charm as Doki, especially since the latter teaches very good morals to children which Peppa does barely have any good morals. Even worse, Doki no longer appears in Discovery Kids in any promos or bumpers thanks to Peppa Pig.
#'''False advertising:''' ''Peppa Pig: My First Cinema Experiences'' and its sequel ''Peppa Pig: Festival of Fun'' are marketed as "films", but they are just '''''<u>compilations of 10 or so Peppa Pig episodes with live-action-puppet clips spliced in-between.</u>''''' And as a result of this, there has never been a proper theatrical film adaptation of this show even after all this time.
#Due to poor and/or confusing writing, the show has a fair share of mediocre or bad episodes. (See notable bad episodes)
#*At one moment, they once even cluttered the Terrible TV Shows & Episodes Wiki with their own individual pages which caused a ban on niche shows to have their pages here seemingly for good. But as of now, the ban has been revoked and niche shows were allowed there again.
#**Some of these episodes also count as filler as they don't add much to the plot. Also, the events never got mentioned nor brought up again with the characters acting like the events didn't happen at all. Heck, one can skip these bad episodes without missing everything at all!
#Some channels are obsessed with this cartoon, like Nick Jr. (block and channel) and Discovery Kids. Peppa Pig downright monopolised Nick Jr to the point where Nick Jr Too (the side network to Nick Jr UK) was even renovated multiple times to become '''Nick Jr. Peppa''' for a brief while, much like Nicktoons UK rebranding to NickSpongeBob at times.
#Every speaking character's last name is absurdly lazy and terrible. It's as if our surnames were "Human" or "Homo sapiens".
#*Every parents' first name is "Mummy" and "Daddy", It’s as if all our names were "Mummy/Daddy Human".
#The annoying use of the "Doot Doot" sound. There is a Soft one, a hard one and a medium one.
==Redeeming Qualities That Can Jump In Muddy Puddles==
#The character's designs are cute despite being poorly drawn.
#*The art style can also be cute and decent at times.
#*Over the seasons, the art style has improved, with backgrounds and props, along with the animation itself, getting more detailed and less rough.
#Sometimes, it does have decent (or at least passable), funny, and/or cute moments here and there. The quotes and even the dialogue too (despite some being laughable or mean-spirited) can be funny at times.
#*The jokes are also passable at times.
#*In later seasons (season 6 and 7 to be specific) the humor did get better, though they are unfunny or a hit-or-miss at times.
#*Some scenes are also worth a laugh, like [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jil0WCh_UoQ this scene].
#Most of the voice acting is passable or decent:
#*Brian Blessed does a great job at voicing Grampy Rabbit.
#*Despite being annoying as the narrator, John Sparkes at least did a good job at voicing the characters he plays (though sometimes it can come off grating).
#**Also, the narrator provides some good audio descriptions for blind people.
#**The rest of the voice acting pretty okay and despite some flaws, the young voice actresses do a decent job voicing Peppa Pig (for the ''most'' part)
#There are several good/decent episodes:
#*[[Thunderstorm (Peppa Pig)|Thunderstorm]]
#*Very Hot Day
#*My Birthday Party
#*Pancakes
#*Bubbles (which positively started season 2)
#*Pen Pal
#*Painting
#*Nature Trail
#*School Camp
#*Secrets
#*Dressing Up
#*George's Birthday
#*Fancy Dress Party
#*The New Car
#*The Camper Van
#*Cleaning the Car
#*Daddy's Movie Camera
#*The School Fete
#*Shake, Rattle, and Bang
#*Basketball
#*Scooters
#*Daddy Puts Up a Picture
#*Muddy Puddles (which started the show on a decent note)
#*The Olden Days
#*Mr. Potato Comes to Town
#*Potato City
#*Gym Class
#*Miss Rabbit's Day Off
#*School Play (which ended season 1 on a good manner)
#*Children's Festival/Muddy Festival
#*Most of the season 6 (expect Funny Music, Bat and Ball, and Please and Thank You) and 7 episodes
#**Speaking of Season 7, The American Holiday and Cruise Ship Holiday Saga is an interesting series of episodes and they started Season 7 and Karrot's era of the show, respectively, on a positive outlook.
#**Roller Disco is a pretty neat episode that revolves around Peppa and her friends roller skating and it's also considered to be one of the best episodes in the show as well.
#*In The Future
#*Grandpa Pig's Birthday
#*Mummy Rabbit's Bump
#*Swimming Lessons (a decent way to end season 7)
#The later seasons did improve a little bit, with there being less controversial and mean-spirited episodes compared to most of them from the earlier seasons, although they didn't improve by much.
#*The writers are beginning to add more original plots, although some are rehashed (i.e. Lotte Llama from Delphine Donkey, and "Winter Games" from "Snowy Mountain"), while others are made to milk the show and the writing (although not as bad as the early seasons) is still pretty mediocre.
#There are a handful of likable (or at least tolerable) characters in the show such as George Pig, Mummy Pig (for the most part), Daddy Pig (most of the time since he is not mean-spirited at all) and most of Peppa's friends (aside from Suzy), despite some being underdeveloped.
#*Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig, while generic and clichéd parents, do a decent (though not perfect) job at parenting Peppa and George (compared to Caillou's parents from ''Caillou'').
#**Speaking of Daddy Pig, he is very sympathetic thanks to Peppa always being mean to him and fat-shaming him.
#**They do have personalities of their own (especially Mummy Pig) and they do give Peppa her comeuppance at times.
#*George, despite being annoying when he cries, can be quite cute at times. And much like Daddy Pig, he can be treated as sympathetic due to Peppa bullying him most of the time.
#*Peppa's friends such as Emily Elephant, Danny Dog, Candy Cat, Zoe Zebra, Rebecca Rabbit, Freddy Fox, Wendy Wolf, Molly Mole and Gerald Giraffe are pretty interesting characters who are shown to be good friends with the Pig Family.
#*Mandy Mouse is very energetic, cheerful and likable. Despite being on a wheelchair most of the time, she's actually really fast and shares a great chemistry with Peppa. She's also a good representation for people with disabilities.
#*Peppa can be likable (or tolerable) at times when she's not mean-spirited. Plus in some episodes, she is shown to reconcile with Daddy Pig and/or George. She also massively improved in Season 7 and can admittedly be cute sometimes (though normally when she is not bratty). Sometimes, she does get her comeuppance. Especially since she's far more tolerable than her Vietnamese rip-off, Wolfoo from [[Wolfoo|the series of the same name]].
#*Suzy can also be tolerable and is admittedly funny at times.
#*Delphine Donkey and Lotte Llama are pretty interesting and unique characters, being good representations for people who speak both French and German and are novices at speaking English.
#*Penny Polar Bear is also another pretty interesting and unique character with two mothers, Mummy Polar Bear and Doctor Polar Bear respectively. Speaking of the two mothers, they're also good representations for people who are lesbians, and Penny's relationship with her two mothers is pretty heartwarming.
#*The other characters (such as Miss Rabbit or Madame Gazelle) can be also be interesting and/or likable at times while Grampy Rabbit can also be considered the best part of this show too. His wife, Granny Rabbit can be an interesting character. Also compared to Peppa and Suzy, most all not that mean-spirited at all.
#*The characteristics are passable at times.
#The instrumental version of the theme song is tolerable.
#*Other music (such as "The International Day" song) can be also decent and/or catchy at times.
#While being rare, it does teach good morals and/or lessons at times but this is in the case of most of the good or decent episodes (such as "Thunderstorm", "Cleaning the Car" and "Secrets").
#The worldbuilding is decent at times.
#Some of the backgrounds are passable.
#Thankfully, it at least doesn't try too hard to be hip, cool, and rad with the kids unlike most modern media that is [[Bluey|good]] or [[Caillou's New Adventures|bad]] (although that doesn't stop it from using the [["It's made for kids"]] excuse).

==Reception==
Back when ''Peppa Pig'' was first released, it initially received good reviews. However, people started to point out flaws with the show later in its run, and it has started to receive more of a mixed reception from parents, critics and audiences, while cartoon reviewers on YouTube mostly gave it a negative feedback, including PhantomStrider and Caddicarus. Both have criticized the show for its characters, lack of common sense, nonexistent and/or rancid morals, Daddy Pig being fat-shamed by Peppa and the family, the narrator constantly pointing out the obvious, and so much more. Caddicarus has always hated ''Peppa Pig'' so much that he made a couple of reviews on the show a few times. He even reviewed the ''Peppa Pig: My First Album'' CD as well as the 2009 Nintendo DS Peppa Pig video game that was made for the United Kingdom. The show currently sits at a 6.3/10 rating on IMDB, and 65% of Google users liked it.
Despite the mixed reception from audiences and critics, ''Peppa Pig'' is a very popular preschool show from the United Kingdom and much like ''[[Bob the Builder (1998)|Bob the Builder]]'' and ''[[Thomas & Friends (Classic era, seasons 1-8)|Tho]][[Thomas & Friends (HiT model and Sharon Miller eras; seasons 9-16)|mas]] [[Thomas & Friends (Andrew Brenner era, seasons 17-21)|& Fri]][[Thomas & Friends (Big World! Big Adventures! era, seasons 22-24)|ends]]'', the show is not only popular in the United Kingdom, but is also popular all around the world. Peppa Pig herself was a Top 10 UK best-selling character toy according to NPD Group in April 2011,<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/media/2011/apr/18/hit-entertainment-thomas-the-tank-engine</ref> and the show was second only to ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants (seasons 1-5, 9-present)|SpongeBob]] [[SpongeBob SquarePants (seasons 6-8)|SquarePants]]'' as the world's most-watched children's cartoon in the 12 months to March 2021, according to the ''Wall Street Journal''. For the year, it jumped from 103rd to 50th most in-demand show overall. These all stem from the '''exceptionally heavy airtime''' that Nick Jr. UK gives the show - it often fills up more than half the schedule and the second Nick Jr. channel in the United Kingdom is often turned into a channel showing only ''Peppa Pig'' for a month each time; same for Discovery Kids, Peppa Pig fills almost the entire schedule, not giving any chance for other shows to shine.
The show would also gain a cult following under a "so bad, it's good" charm.

==Trivia==
*In 2019, the creators of Peppa Pig made a CD album called "[[w:My First Album (Peppa Pig album)|Peppa Pig: My First Album]]". Later in 2021, it made the second soundtrack album called "[[w:Peppa's Adventures: The Album|Peppa's Adventures: The Album]]".
**Following the album's announcement, a Twitter interaction between the show's Twitter account and Australian rapper Iggy Azalea went viral after the latter tweeted "It's over for me now", in reference to My First Album being released the same day as Azalea's second studio album In My Defense. The Peppa Pig account responded with a tweet referencing Azalea's single "Fancy", before Azalea jokingly asked for a collaboration. The interaction and the album's release spawned several internet memes.
*For some reason, ''Peppa Pig'' fans dislike ''Fire Emblem'', specifically Lucina, as the ''Peppa Pig'' fanon wiki appoints her as the antagonist for whatever reason. It's one-sided, as ''Fire Emblem'' fans get a kick out of this, which had gone to memetic levels.
*There have been several video games based on the property:
**The first title: ''Peppa Pig: The Game'' was released for the Nintendo DS in November 2008. Following Pinnacle's insolvency in December that year, a successor company - P2 Games, was founded in February 2009, and released a Wii version a year later on 27 November 2009 for the Nintendo Wii, with distribution by Ubisoft. It is a children's video game to learn and play, and it contains 11 games and activities.
**A second game, ''Peppa Pig: Fun and Games'' was released on 22 October 2010 for the Nintendo Wii console and Nintendo DS hand-held game system. Asylum Entertainment and P2 Games remained as developer and publisher for the title.
**A third game, ''My Friend Peppa Pig'' was developed by Petoons Studio and published by Outright Games. It released on 22 October 2021 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Windows, exactly 11 years after ''Peppa Pig: Fun and Games''.
*There have been reports about kids in the US beginning to speak British English after watching a lot of ''Peppa Pig''. For example, tomato and zebra are pronounced in the English, rather than American way; words such as satnav, petrol, mummy and "biscuit" (instead of "cookie") are used; and comments such as "how clever," "Oh dear," and "can I have a go?" picked up. This phenomenon was not an issue for many parents; it trended with the hashtag "#PeppaEffect." Linguistics experts find those conclusions to be "likely exaggerated." A written statement by Entertainment One Ltd. when asked about this phenomenon went on saying: "Young Peppa fans see her as a friend…and, as we do with friends that we admire, pick up some of their characteristics...imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."
*Despite the Islam prohibiting pork, Peppa Pig got not only one, but TWO arabic dubs. [https://www.youtube.com/@PeppaPigArabicOfficial One of the dubs] aired on OSN Kidzone, and [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLutVVlhBBbLnkVKRyhvYPNQmVDA8EoRNw the other one] aired on Nick Jr.
*In 2005, the short-lived Cartoon Network preschool block "Tickle U", ''Peppa Pig'' was given an American English dub that is now almost completely lost and has no longer aired ever since.<ref>https://lostmediawiki.com/Peppa_Pig_(partially_found_American_dub_of_British_children%27s_animated_series;_2005)</ref>
**The original British version started airing in the US on Noggin in 2007, then later became part of the Nick Jr. channel when it rebranded. It also sometimes airs on the Nick Jr. block on the main Nickelodeon channel.
*In 2019, mature Peppa Pig videos were banned on TikTok in China after becoming associated with a "gangster" subculture and also for exposing children to adult content. However, the normal Peppa Pig is still popular in China.
*The show spawned several internet memes.
*This show along with ''Granny'' spawned the famous ''Roblox'' horror game ''Piggy'' created by MiniToon.
*There is another show created by Astley Baker Davies known as ''Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom'' which is considered a lot better than Peppa Pig due to it teaching better morals that this show would have thought, as well as having tolerable, likable, and humorous characters, interesting plots, etc. Sadly, one thing that is similar to another thing in this show is King Thistle being called "old", just like how Daddy Pig is constantly called "fat". Ben and Holly are also included in the Best Shows & Episodes Wiki before it closed.
*The face designs of the Peppa Pig characters were originally based on the other Astley Baker Davies shows such as "The Big Knights" (1999-2000) and their short film "Jolly Roger." (1999)
*Peppa and George both made cameo appearances on the "[[w:The Official BBC Children in Need Medley|The Official BBC Children in Need Medley]]" music video by Peter Kay's Animated All-Star Band for Children in Need in 2009, Peppa sang one of the lyrics for "Don't Stop" in the medley.
*Considering its' popularity, there are many shows that rip-off the show, which are Dolly and Friends, Kid-E Cats (which SOMEHOW also aired on Nick Jr.), [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UColXrjwWp_JRfOmFyoh5yPQ ''Pica Family''], ''[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeiroyQn7kpLuywRkeynwxw Tokki Channel],'' and most infamously ''[[Wolfoo]]''.
**Before then, there were many YouTube Kids Cartoons (in the mid-2010s) depicting Peppa.
*Peppa Pig's popularity has been going down in Latin America since mid-2023, and Discovery Kids still treats Peppa as their mascot despite this.

'''''Wolfoo''''' is a YouTube children's animated series and content farm created by Vietnamese company SCONNECT. The show features Wolfoo, an anthropomorphic 5-year-old wolf who lives on a hill in a small American-styled village, having misadventures with his friends Lucy, Pando, Kat, Bufo, Piggy, Croco, Moly, Alien, etc. The show itself is notorious for being a rip-off of ''[[Peppa Pig]]''.
== Why It Deserved to be Sued by eOne ==
# '''''FIRST AND FOREMOST''''', the show is a complete rip-off of ''Peppa Pig'' as stated above, which isn't any better than this. In fact, it's basically Peppa Pig done worse!
# Everything about it is similar, from the animation style, the elements, the feel, the characters (e.g. most of the characters are rip-offs of any of the Pigs, Candy Cat, Molly Mole, and to a lesser extent, both Pandora/Peggy Panda) to even stealing sound effects from the original show. In fact, this whole show even feels like if ''MAD'' or ''SNL'' had actually made a parody out of ''Peppa Pig''.
# It’s worse over the fact that this is not only a Peppa Pig clone but it even uses stuff from other media without authorization in a way very reminiscent of [[Elsagate]]-era videos like Elsa from Disney’s ''[[Frozen]]'', the trademark Disney characters Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Superman from the DC comics, Spider-Man and Captain Marvel from the Marvel comics, the characters from ''Angry Birds'' (notably being Red, Chuck, Bomb, Stella, King Pig or Minion Pigs), Pac-Man from his titular series, etc. They even used Sonic the Hedgehog as well. Fortunately, those were removed in Season 3.
# The channels contain a lot of clickbait, like most “YouTube Kids Cartoons (aka Elsagate)” on YouTube. For example, an episode thumbnail has Lucy using scissors to cut off Wolfoo's tail, but that never happens in the video.
# Tons of unlikable characters, such as:
#* Wolfoo himself is an absolute jerk who is rude to his family & friends and always treats them badly, and he hardly ever gets any comeuppance or karma at all, which is a sign of being a Karma Houdini.
#* Pando is a glutton who eats far too many apples, betrays his best friends, and steals people's property as well.
#* Kat is a cowardly crybaby who gets scared of mice and is a Mary Sue who mistreats Wolfoo and Pando all the time.
#* Bufo and Piggy are complete jerks to everyone, possibly even worse than Wolfoo. They also bully Wolfoo (Bufo for the most part), do gross-out things all the time, and have no sense or hint of likability, remorse, or even personality.
#** Also, for some reason, they are Wolfoo's friends, which makes it extremely weird because they're bullies and friends at the same time.
#* Lucy is an even more jerk to Wolfoo, gets the most Butt-Monkey treatment out of all the Wolf family, throws tantrums, and is a pathetic redesign of Wolfoo but with tan fur. Let's also not forget that she's absolutely '''MEAN-SPIRITED''', to the point she's even more unlikable than the main character himself, or even Peppa on that note (at least Peppa's bossiness isn't taken this far).
#** In one episode, Jenny was playing with Lucy's doll, and they fight over it. Eventually, it tears apart, and Lucy says to Jenny that she hates her. '''That's just cruel, mean-spirited, and even a promotion to CHILD ABUSE.'''
#** In another episode, Wolfoo tries to protect the blocks (made for Jenny) from Lucy. The blocks are not meant to be ruined with. Then, Lucy comes up with a prank where she starts yelling for help. As you have expected, Wolfoo comes right in, and then Lucy locks the door and ruins the blocks. She did, fortunately, get comeuppance for what she did later on.
#** Another time, she even manipulates Jenny into becoming an Object Terror Mint. She throws a stinky sock at Wolfoo and he gets angry and chases her on a skateboard and also tries to shoot her down with a plunger but misses. Then, Wolfoo gets her Elsa doll toy and acts like if he wants to challenge her to a sword duel (or a doll duel to make more sense) but then she hits him in the head, causing Wolfoo to attempt to hit her back but his mom tells him not to. '''She was supposed to punish Lucy instead.''' Then, Jenny throws a stinky sock at Wolfoo and also throws the Elsa doll at Lucy as well.
#** In another episode, Wolfoo puts in rules for the pool. His friends and Lucy do not care and continue what they're doing. They even went as far to take down the rules and start doing even more irresponsible stuff in the pool. Lucy played a prank on Wolfoo and locks the house door on him. To make matters worse, she even had the key, and started to play with it in the pool until it was about to burst. Wolfoo somehow gets out of the house and saves them before the pool flies away. '''You guys are lucky enough Wolfoo saved you, but that was very irresponsible!'''
#* Moly is the biggest Butt-Monkey out of all of them, has little to no reason to exist, and comes out short by personality and character development. Not to mention, she looks like a mole but is a mouse for no reason whatsoever.
#* Croco feels like a reskin of Moly, except that, unlike Moly, he did nothing memorable at all. He also looks '''nothing''' like a crocodile. He is also quite destructive as well.
#* Police Bu is a stereotypical bully police officer with no personality and acts like a jerk to his enemy, Rhino.
#* Rhino is nothing more than a Generic Doomsday Villain, has no personality whatsoever, and is a punching bag for Police Bu, as he always treats him horribly and arrests him all the time. True, he is technically a villain, but still.
#* Jenny, who is a new character, is basically Baby Alexander, except more mischievous and annoying, making it hard for Wolfoo and Lucy to babysit her (which happens in a few episodes).
#* Pandolar, another new character, is basically created for filler, and is mean-spirited towards Jenny, such as in the scene where he farts at her.
# Jumping the shark by adding too many new characters, such as Jenny, Pandolar and the Air Conditioner, who is a freaking object for example. Some of them are even used for filler.
# The character assets are horrible rip-offs of the ones from ''Peppa Pig'', for example, some characters have 2 eyes on both sides of their head, which means they actually have 4 in total. (It’s a common Peppa Pig theory). Thankfully, the series "Wolfoo the Adventurer" and a couple of episodes feature the characters only having 2 eyes on the front of their head.
# '''Two words''': Unnecessary filler.
# '''It's still going:''' It first appeared in the mid-2010s (in late 2017 to mid-2018) as a part of the infamous Elsagate controversy that ran for around a year (2016-2017). Out of all of those, this one is still running and has not been sued nor taken down for using assets and sound effects from the show it was inspired from. Although, it might get taken down as eOne signed a lawsuit against the show.
#* Let's not forget that this is a good example of [[jumping the shark]].
# The show tries way too hard to be hip with kids, said attempts results in hopping into trends, like a Pop-It fidget and fidget spinner occasionally appearing in thumbnails of videos.
# '''Hypocrisy and Unfortunate Implications''': Despite being a kids' show, they add inappropriate content in it, such as racism, pregnancy, pornography, swearing, gross-out humor, and even '''''cannibalism'''''.
#* In Wolfoo the Adventurer 2, the word dumbass was said.
#* In one episode, a black crayon wants to help Wolfoo and the other crayons but accidentally makes messes in the process, so they start acting like jerks to him over accidents, which is considered as racism.
#* In one episode, Kat gets her uvula hurt and then Wolfoo tries to help, so he goes into Kat's mouth and almost gets eaten in the process. We know, Kat and Wolfoo are not the same species, but still, '''they're both zoomorphic humans anyways.'''
#* They also add things that are gross-out: such as characters vomiting (often offscreen), the explicit details of pregnancy (e.g. Wolfoo knowing what morning sickness is and Wolfoo’s mother becoming nauseous around smells while pregnant with Lucy), characters graphically revealing parts of their body (e.g. In one episode, Pando pulls Wolfoo's pants down), and babies wetting and soiling their diapers so much that the diaper leaks.
#** There’s an episode that revolves around dirty diapers titled Jenny’s Diaper is Full, we’re not even kidding.
#* In said series, Wolfoo the Adventurer 2, there is a scene where a character '''says that he is going to kick another character's ass'''. If you don’t believe us, then go watch it and skip to 1:41:28 to see it.
# Most of the voice acting is bad, with Bufo being the worst offender, because his voice sounds like it’s pitched down.
# Most of the intros for the show are generic. One has the letter "O" shaped as Wolfoo's head jumping in, then Kat, Wolfoo, and Pando come out of nowhere and then stare at the screen. Another intro has Wolfoo running away, with his friends in hot pursuit. The ending screen is also generic as it just shows Wolfoo and his friends walking.
# Some of the characters' names are lazy, for example, Piggy's name is just “Piggy”, nothing more.
# Most of the time, the characters rarely get screen time (especially Croco, Moly and Pandolar) with Wolfoo, Pando, Kat and Lucy getting a superfluous amount of screen time.
# Like most other shows, it can be a bad influence on children because of the characters' behavior.
# Unlike Peppa Pig, which features the characters doing things everyday people would do in real life despite being in a world populated by anthropomorphic animals, this show blatantly strays away from that realism by having things like inanimate objects as living characters and fairy tale tropes that contrast badly with the show’s nature, similar to what [[Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go]] did with its setting and characters.
# The show makers do not seem to take criticism very well, as they filed a cease and assist letter to YouTuber SaberSpark and forced him to delete his video critiquing the show, claiming that the contents in the video fell under “Defamation” and “Copyright Infringement” despite it falling under fair use.
#* It also comes off as a very hypocritical move as despite proceeding legal action against a well-known YouTuber for alleged copyright infringement, they themselves are committing the same crime with producing this show, to the point where the IP owners of Peppa Pig; eOne, have filed a lawsuit against SConnect; the makers of this show, for the same reason.
# Overall, it can be seen as an uninspiring and intolerable rip-off of Peppa Pig, and an even worse one at that.
# The video and the channel's description say that the audio is owned by SConnect, but as mentioned above, some of the audio is ripped from ''Peppa Pig''. '''Are they lying or what?
#* As for whatever reason, this even counts as plagiarism.
#The overuse of sound effects like laughing, crying (especially the baby crying one made by “panikko” in Freesound) or screaming is really annoying and it's stolen from Peppa Pig.
#Some episodes even copy the episodes from other media like Sheriff Labrador, Molang, etc.
== Redeeming Qualities ==
# The characters sometimes get comeuppance for their bad actions, like with Lucy in one episode when she was playing in the hospital.
# The series "Wolfoo the Adventurer" can be considered decent enough.
# Some moments from the show are funny, and can even make for some unintentional comedy.
# Some of the characters are likable. Rhino sometimes is a good example, as he always gets picked on by Police Bu.
# Some episodes are good, and tolerable enough. Most of them also do have good morals.
== Reception ==
Despite being a success with young children, ''Wolfoo'' has been massively panned for being a rip-off of ''Peppa Pig'' and has received negative reception, that even the studio behind the show, SConnect has recently gotten a lawsuit from eOne, the company behind ''Peppa Pig''.
== Trivia ==
* As mentioned above in the reception section, SConnect has gotten a lawsuit from eOne, the company behind Peppa Pig.

'''[[wikipedia:Google Stadia|Stadia]]''' was a cloud-based gaming console developed by Google. It was released in 18 countries on November 19, 2019.
It was advertised to be capable of streaming video games up to 4K resolution at 60 frames per second with support for high-dynamic-range, to players via the company's numerous data centers across the globe, provided they are using a sufficiently high-speed internet connection. It was accessible through the Google Chrome web browser on personal computers, Pixel smartphones, supported smartphones from Samsung, OnePlus, Razer, and Asus, as well as Chrome OS tablets and Chromecast for TV support.
On September 29th, 2022, Google announced that Stadia would be shutting down on January 18th, 2023, ending the platform for good.
==Why It Flopped==
#The very concept of cloud gaming, while a good idea on paper, is very unreliable as you need a constant uninterrupted internet connection to even play games. Any form of internet lag can make the games unplayable, and considering that the Stadia is very demanding, many houses without high-speed internet literally cannot use Stadia at all because of this issue.
#*Additionally, since the user doesn't own any games they purchase and since the servers shut down, all those games the user spent money on are permanently lost forever.
#*Unlike movies and music, which can be cloud-streamed with little trouble because the file is always the same for every user, games are significantly more complicated to cloud-stream as you also have to factor in inputs from the other side, aka the player.
# Due to the inefficient Wi-Fi chip that was being used in the Stadia's dedicated device, it suffered from horrible input lag and bad optimization, with delays of up to two to five seconds between the player clicking the button and the game responding depending on the user's internet speed. Because of how the device's ineffective Wi-Fi capabilities stacked on top of the router's latency and connection to the servers, it made the entire device a roll of a dice to actually get working at times. '''This is what you have beta testers for.'''
#* The main culprit of the poor Wi-Fi capabilities as well as the input lag has to do with how the controllers were designed; ''the controllers use Wi-Fi and not Bluetooth to connect to the Stadia itself'', which meant that the controllers were restricted to being only usable on Stadia until the ability to turn on Bluetooth mode got implemented when Stadia got discontinued. Not only that, because the Stadia called for Wi-Fi connections on both the controllers and to the cloud streaming servers, the usage of multiple network connections at the same time would cause the Wi-Fi chip to throttle itself critically at times. Therefore, the gimmick of locking game controllers via Wi-Fi connections ended up being a bad idea in terms of design both in concept and actual execution.
# '''Bad Presentation''': All that was included in the box was the controller, a Chromecast Ultra, and some useless manuals and thank-you cards.
#The rubber used on the Stadia's controller isn't good as it collects sweat and condensation way too easily and takes forever to dry, as seen in Daniel Ibbertson's unboxing video for the console.
#The smartphone mount for the controller is very awkward and intrusive as it blocks the view of most of the buttons and you need to be quite close to the phone just to play anything on it.
#Terrible lineup of launch titles with one exclusive (''Gylt'') and games people already played or they can get physically/digitally. Ten additional launch games were added at the last minute, but none of them are system sellers.
#* While it is true that other consoles have indeed been released with few launch titles before, those included an exclusive system seller game to boost early sales, which Stadia lacked. The only real exclusive Stadia launched with is ''Gylt'', which isn't a system seller.
#*On that note, there have been very few Stadia-exclusive games since launch: ''Gylt, PAC-MAN Mega Tunnel Battle, Outcasters, PixelJunk Raiders'' and ''Hello Engineer'', with one of them, ''PixelJunk Raiders'' being mediocre at best for example. To make matters worse, Google would eventually announce that they're shutting down their first-party Stadia game studios, therefore preventing their cloud gaming service from getting any more worthwhile exclusive titles.
#'''False advertising''': One of the selling points of the Stadia is that it was capable of streaming games in 4K resolution at 60fps, but many games on the platform were incapable of doing so.
#Streaming in 4K at 60 FPS consumed an absurd amount of internet data, which is terrible for houses and telecom plans with internet data caps. Where most internet plans nowadays don't have data caps, there are still countries and areas that still have data caps as late as 2019 to 2022, the lifespan of the Stadia.
#*According to some sources, Stadia consumed over 7 GBs of data for 4K streaming due to the streaming being uncompressed.
#The system was very overpriced, costing US$99 for the Stadia itself, '''in addition to (optionally pay) US$10 to subscribe to Stadia Pro for 4K streaming, and HDR. You also still have to pay the regular prices for any game that you want to stream.''' In comparison, Nvidia's GeForce Now streaming service is much cheaper and it can be used on any computer and phone (though Google finally rectified the "Pixel only" rule, and now there is an experimental mode where you can play on an unsupported phone).
#You couldn't buy games from Stadia itself, because you needed your computer or a phone to buy them.
#It was very awkward to play motion-control games like ''Just Dance 2020'' on the Stadia in mobile mode as you need another phone to connect to it just to play it.
#A lot of people who pre-ordered the Founder's Edition did not receive the access codes to their Stadias at launch.
#Many games like ''[[Red Dead Redemption 2]]'' were pretty inferior and had worse graphics than on consoles, which hurts since you stream the games (meaning you don't need an expensive computer for high settings).
#*In addition to this, many of the games performed worse than on consoles despite the inferior graphics.
#Some of the games on the platform cost more money than on other platforms for seemingly no good reason. One example includes ''Darksiders: Genesis'' costing 10 dollars more on Stadia.
#The advertisements are random and nonsensical. They've tried to be hip and relevant but fail with cheesy and over-the-top effects, and stupid dialogue.
#There was '''no search bar''' to look for games that you want, which is very ironic, considering that '''Google is famous for their search engine'''.
#*A search bar was eventually added on April 28, 2021, which was almost a '''year and a half''' after the Stadia release.
#Updates and new games are ridiculously far and few, with the last update being on July 1, 2020.
#*In March 2020, some developers admitted that they believe that there's very little to no incentive to release more games on Stadia, explaining the low amount of games being released for it.
#*Just like the Wii U, its third-party support was pretty poor, with it [https://www.reddit.com/r/Stadia/comments/dye2ri/for_everything_but_google_stadia/ missing out on most games coming out for the PS4, Xbox One and the Switch], even though the console has up to "10.7 Teraflops of power" which is way more than base PS4/Xbox One and Nintendo Switch combined.
#It's a nightmare to disassemble due to Google strictly wanting it to be opened only by them. This makes DIY maintenance or repairs a challenge and will even give game repair shops a hard time.
# Google has reached a new low and decided to follow [[Epic Games (2012-present)|Epic Games]]' practice by paying studios to make their games timed exclusive to them (starting with ''Serious Sam 4'').
#* On top of that, the timed exclusive is pointless since Google paid Croteam to make the console version to be released next year, instead of the PC version.
# It used Chrome OS, which when you consider that's an operating system relative to Android in several ways, it ended up causing many of Stadia's performance issues and porting difficulties as most game devs have never ported their games over to ChromeOS or Android.
#Google shut down its first-party game studio, only worsening the already present fear that it would shut down, which turned out to be true.
#Despite Google [https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/18/google-stadia-review-pros-and-cons-of-googles-streaming-game-service.html#:~:text=Google%20Stadia%20shows%20the%20future,has%20serious%20problems%20at%20launch&text=Google%20Stadia%20launches%20on%20Tuesday,for%20an%20expensive%20game%20console. touting Stadia as being the future of gaming], the service has gotten outperformed and is considered outdated when compared to its competitors.
#*While the '10.7 teraflops of power' and 'lack of load times' arguments worked with 8th generation consoles (Xbox One/PS4), they are considered moot points now that 9th generation consoles ([[Xbox Series X/S|Xbox Series X|S]]/[[PlayStation 5|PS5]]) are out; with both incorporating Solid State Drives (making load times nonexistent) and with hardware that is nearly on par or even surpassing Stadia's graphical powers.
#*Current services offer better deals than what Stadia Pro offered: GeForce Now charges users $10 a month to stream games they already own on PC platforms like Steam, while [[Xbox Game Pass|Xbox Game Pass Ultimate]] charges users $15 a month and gives them the option of either streaming the games on their phone/tablet or letting them download the games to the local hardware they already own.
#Google has secretly tried to kill Stadia lately, with little to no support and little to no 3rd party games until the announcement of the shutdown.
== Redeeming Qualities==
#The Stadia came with a free Chromecast Ultra, allowing you to freely watch TV shows and movies on your TV or monitor.
#The controller can be used with PC games that support [[Xbox 360]]/One controllers (however this varies by game) and has a direct capture button, making it the second console to have such a feature, the first being the Nintendo Switch.
#Google brought out the free Stadia tier, formerly Stadia Base, which was completely free and has 1080p streaming at 60fps.
#Despite the issues with the rubber, the controller feels very nice and is quite comparable to the PS4 controller or Xbox One controller.
#It received a few updates which fixed the missing launch features, like Google Assistant, Stream Connect, and Crowd Play. So the service is way better than it was at launch.
# The service had far less input lag if playing wirelessly on a PC or a Phone, and if your TV has a Game Mode, that helps too, and you could even enable an experimental mode to make Stadia ignore the fact that your phone is unsupported and let you play with any phone.
#They actually had decent customer service when the Stadia was available; with Google's support team being able to replace broken or defective consoles at ease.
==Reception==
Google Stadia received mixed to negative reviews from critics but was panned by gamers alike.
John Saavedra of Den of Geek gave the Google Stadia 3.5/5, praising its crossplay feature while criticizing its abysmal launch lineup and lack of features.<ref>https://www.denofgeek.com/us/games/284491/google-stadia-review</ref>
Alex Hern of The Guardian gave Google Stadia 3/5, praising its uniqueness and minimalism while criticizing the fact that nobody asked for it and Google focusing too much on marketing it.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/games/2019/nov/18/google-stadia-review-gylt</ref>
Google Stadia was featured on Gamers Nexus' "The Disappointment PC 2019: Worst Parts of the Year" video.
YouTuber YongYea had trouble running games like ''Destiny 2'' without them lagging, even on high-speed Internet connections, and when he retries it on Ethernet, it '''somehow''' downgrades the graphics.
In response to the poor early reception, Google made multiple accounts and played the political correctness card by saying the controller is "gender-neutral" in an attempt to defend its launch but those did not help and only hurt the Stadia's image even more. As a result, many people quit using Stadia, and even the die-hard fans who kept defending the platform now moved to Nvidia's GeForce Now streaming service. In response to poor sales, Google started to give away the Stadia Pro subscription.
With Project XCloud, Microsoft's cloud streaming service, now released and with it being part of Xbox Game Pass, it is pointless to have a Google Stadia subscription. YouTuber YongYea has stated that, unless Google overhauls or changes its business model, Stadia is doomed now that XCloud has been released.
On GameFAQs, the console has a score of 1.74 / 5, it was later considered by some as one of the worst consoles of all time.
== Trivia==
*Alen Ladavac, who is one of the six founders of the Croatian indie game studio and creator of the ''Serious Sam'' franchise Croteam, left Croteam in October 2019 to co-develop the Google Stadia.<ref>https://gamasutra.com/view/news/351739/Croteam_cofounder_Alen_Ladavac_departs_studio_to_join_Googles_Stadia_team.php</ref>
**This could explain why ''Serious Sam 4'' is the console's first timed-exclusive game.

'''Wii''' (codenamed '''Nintendo Revolution'''), is a home gaming console manufactured by Nintendo and initially released in November 2006. It was the successor to the Nintendo GameCube and its successor was the Wii U. It competed with the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 during its lifetime. It was the home console that sold the most systems in the seventh generation of video game consoles unlike its successor. The original Wii and Wii Family Edition were discontinued on October 21, 2013, while the Wii Mini was discontinued on November 13, 2017. It is the best selling home console of the seventh generation and the best selling non-portable Nintendo console. It is also the third home console to sell over 100 million units, after the original PlayStation and PlayStation 2.

== Why Wii Would Like to Play It ==
# It popularized motion controls with the Wiimote, which didn't even have as many issues as the previous motion controllers. When given to developers who know what they're doing, motion controls greatly enhance gameplay without substituting standard controls.
# The Wiimote is also a very unique controller that's still simple to use. It can either be held vertically to point to the sensor bar to make the cursor appear on the screen or horizontally to hold it like a standard Nintendo Entertainment System controller, making it usable on 2D platform games like ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.
# The Nunchuk accessory that you plug right into the bottom of the Wiimote grants additionnal buttons on another hand and an analog stick that enhances the controls for 3D games.
# Despite its weaker hardware compared to its competitors, it was capable of running great looking games like ''Super Mario Galaxy'', ''Sonic Colors'', ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', and ''De Blob''.
# Huge game library of over 1500 games which includes masterpieces such as:
#* ''[[Wii Sports]]'', ''[[Wii Sports Resort]]'', ''[[Wii Play]]'', and ''[[Wii Party]]''
#* ''[[Xenoblade Chronicles]]''
#* ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' & ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2|its sequel]]''
#* ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''
#* ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''
#* ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''
#* ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''
#* ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'', ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', and ''Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition''
#* ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]''
#* ''[[Metroid Prime: Trilogy]]''
#* ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''

# The original models are completely backwards compatible with Nintendo GameCube games and its controllers since they use a similar hardware. In addition, many Wii games are compatible with the GameCube controllers. However, the Wii Family Edition and Wii Mini are missing GameCube controller ports.
# Some games can connect with the Nintendo DS to unlock additional features.
# The system supports both wireless internet connection for multiplayer online video games and Bluetooth for wireless controllers. However, the Wii does not have an Ethernet port, but working LAN adapters got made for the Wii.
# It was also designed to be able to play games originally released on Nintendo's older systems, with the introduction of [[Virtual Console]] which allowed people to buy older games digitally on the Wii Store without buying physical copies for them ''and'' their platforms, meaning it can run games from every Nintendo console up to that point. This concept is also carried over to the 3DS, Wii U, and Switch (though limited, as only NES and SNES games are playable through a paid subscription to the Nintendo Switch Online service).
# The Classic Controller accessory allows you to play the Wii without motion controls and improves compatibility with Virtual Console games.
# Most Wiis came bundled with ''Wii Sports'', which outsold ''Super Mario Bros.'' as the most sold single-platform game.
#* It later got bundled with the games sequel, ''Wii Sports Resort''. Eventually, they got bundled on one disc.
# It is easy to hack and install The Homebrew Channel, which allows you to play classic games and back-up games. To see how to do so, click here.
# Some games would make use of the forecast channel so that the weather in the game would be the same as the weather where the player is located.
# The first Nintendo console with Miis, chibi-like custom avatars that can be used in the ''Wii'' series of games.
# The Wii is the cheapest Nintendo console you can buy used, with many sites listing it for around US '''$25.00'''.
# If you have homebrew, you can download WiiWare and Virtual Console WAD files onto your Wii and play them as if you bought them on the Wii Shop Channel.
# Amazingly, despite its discontinuation in 2013 (or 2017 in case of the Wii Mini), games continued to be released for it until '''2020'''. Its last game was ''Shakedown: Hawaii'', released on July 9th of that same year, albeit only in Europe.
== Qualities That Hit A Screen ==
# Its focus on motion control and lower hardware specs compared to its competitors made it an easy target for shovelware developers like Data Design Interactive and Destination Software. Unsurprisingly, this ended up being a factor in it's demise since it’s library was completely oversaturated with shovelware, and it became infamous for such.
#* Some people also didn't like the use of motion controls (probably because some games like ''Mario Party 8'' and many launch titles like the ''Sonic Storybook'' series seemingly relied too much on motion controls).
# Due to its weaker hardware, the Wii often got inferior ports of third-party games. More often than not, games would be ported directly from the PlayStation 2 rather than the Xbox 360 or PS3. Third-party developers often had a hard time making motion controls work as well. An example of this would be ''Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes,'' where the flight controls are very weird, and make flying harder than it should be.
#* With that being said, Wii versions of certain games like ''Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit'', were completely different from the Xbox 360 and the PS3 versions, due to it's hardware not being powerful enough to handle certain games.
#* The Wii cannot support high definition graphics, meaning games can only be played in 480i or 576i (PAL) instead of 720p or 1080p. Even the official component cables only change the output to 480p.
#* For some reason, Nintendo limited the size of Wiiware games to be not above 40 MB, which led to many developers not release their games on the Wii due to the large size such as Super Meat Boy.
# The Wii does not support software patches or updates, meaning that developers cannot fix bugs or add/remove/modify features to a game post-release. Especially with games with a lot of game-breaking glitches like ''Mario Kart Wii'', patching these glitches was absolutely out of question as a result.
# The Wii doesn't play DVDs by default due to support being cut during development, music CDs or Blu-ray discs (even though Blu-ray was introduced in 2006). The RVL-001 models modded with The Homebrew Channel can play DVDs with MPlayer CE or WiiMC. The RVL-101 and RVL-201 models cannot read DVDs at all due to disc drive changes.
# Just like on the Wii U and Switch, N64 Virtual Console titles are unable to emulate a controller pak, meaning that some features in some games are unavailable, such as ghost data in ''Mario Kart 64''.
# GameCube games still require a memory card to save as they can't save to the Wii's internal storage
# The later revisions are unnecessarily downgraded from the original model:
#* The Wii Family Edition lacks GameCube compatibility for cost reasons, but you can screw on the GameCube ports and memory card slots tightly to revert this downgrade. However, it might do damage to the console. The internet features, Wii Shop Channel, and SD card slot remain intact.
#* The Wii Mini also lacks GameCube compatibility. In addition, it also lacks internet connectivity (not that it matters too much now due to the Wii Shop closure in 2019), an SD card slot, and only has Composite video outputs, meaning that the resolution will be a lot lower. It was overall considered to be a pointless revision like the Game Boy Micro because it was not ''exactly'' cheap, since used Wiis were and still are often sold for half the Wii Mini's retailing price and have even more features anyway. To view all the reasons that the revision failed, see here.
# For some reason, even the Korean version of the Wii lacks GameCube compatibility, despite the GameCube ''also being released'' in that country.
# The Get Connected Video that comes with Wiis manufactured since October 2008 when you first set it up (Update 4.0) takes up '''1180 blocks of storage, which is over half the Wii's internal storage space!''' However, it is not bloatware, so it's possible to delete the channel upon starting it.
# There is a bug in the Nunchuck's analog stick that causes its neutral position to be messed up if tilted while booting up the Wii, connecting it to the Wiimote, starting a channel or returning back to the Wii menu. This causes the control of the stick to go to that direction and make unintended controls. This can be fixed by holding down the A, B, + and - buttons on the Wiimote to reset the neutral position.
# Downloadable games are bought for the console, rather than for an account, meaning that if the console broke, '''you would need to buy all the games again'''. Luckily, emulators for the Wii exist for homebrews. Examples are FCE Ultra GX, Frodo, Snes9x GX, Wii64, Hugo-Wii, Genesis Plus GX, SDL MAME Wii, GxGeo, blueMSX-Wii, and WADs are downloadable too using homebrew. The Wii U fixed this issue.
# Unlike its competitors, the Wii does not have a built-in Ethernet port and a separate LAN adapter has to be bought to get access to faster network speeds. Even the Xbox and slim PlayStation 2 from a generation before came with built-in Ethernet ports.
# Many of its services have been discontinued due to the console being discontinued a long time ago. As a result, about half of the starting channels don't function anymore.
#* Nintendo discontinued the ''Wii Shop Channel'' on January 31, 2019 so you can no longer buy WiiWare and Virtual Console games. However, the Wii U Transfer Tool channel and ''The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword'' Save Data Update Channel are still available if the user wants to transport data to the Wii U or if you think of playing ''Zelda: Skyward Sword'' again.
#* The Wii versions of streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu all went offline with the ''Wii Shop Channel'' so shows and movies are no longer viewable through them.
#* The YouTube app was discontinued on June 27, 2017.
#* The Wii's Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, along with the Nintendo DS's, was discontinued on May 20, 2014 due to the shutdown of multiplayer services from GameSpy, so online play on Wii and DS games no longer work without homebrew.
#* While discontinued on June 27, 2013, The Forecast Channel, News Channel, Everybody Votes Channel, Wii Speak Channel, and more can be restored with RiiConnect24 or Wiimmfi. Japanese Exclusive Channels like Wii No Ma and Damae, on the other hand, are more complex to restore with WiiLink24 and following the instructions wrong can crash your Wii.
== Maintenance ==
# Make sure that you play at a proper distance and well lined up with the Wii's sensor bar to improve the motion control features. The results will still vary depending on the game, however.
# Treat your Nunchuk and Wiimote carefully so their connectors won't get damaged.
#* If you're not careful, or if you're not wearing the wrist strap, your Wii Remote could accidentally fly off your hand and break something as well as damage itself. Hold the Wiimote and Nunchuk tightly.
# The hardware is very sensitive, an example is when SWEGTA'S RVT-H Wii got bricked because he pressed the home menu as the game crashed during the intro cutscene of Bait on a beta build of ''Bully: Scholarship Edition'', and trying to go to the Home Menu during the cutscene as the game crashed actually BROKE the bluetooth module. As the module is required to boot the system, the console refuses to boot until it is repaired. It is recommended that you do not switch to the Home Menu or power off the console while in a channel or game unless it has frozen or crashed.
# The Wii Remote and Nunchuk buttons can stick over time. To fix this problem, follow the steps below.
=== To clean sticking buttons: ===
# You need an unused toothbrush (one that has been opened from its package, but not used) and hot tap water. (60-70 degrees F) Do not use boiling water, soap, or detergent, as they can damage the Wiimote and Nunchuk even more.
# Dip the toothbrush into the water and shake off any excess amounts. Carefully scrub the bristles into the cracks of all the buttons, moving the brush in a back and forth motion, getting every nook and cranny.
# After all of the buttons have been scrubbed, let air dry for at least 2 hours.
# Test the buttons and repeat the procedure if it is necessary.
# If they still do not work after trying, contact Nintendo for assistance.
== Reception ==
Despite getting strong criticism over its weaker hardware compared to competitors and focus on motion controls, the Wii was very well-received as it appealed to more than just hardcore gamers, and because of that, it actually outsold both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 with 101.63 million units sold, thus making it the best-selling Nintendo home console until the Switch surpassed it in 2022.
Many clone consoles were made to rip off the motion controls, most notably the Wireless60. Sony and Microsoft themselves even made the PlayStation Move and Xbox Kinect respectively to compete with the Wii.
Unlike its competitors, the PS3 and 360 which were being sold at a loss during its early days, the Wii was a huge success since day one.
== Trivia ==
* The Nunchuk bears a striking resemblance to the Nintendo 64 controller's analog stick handle.
* The original Classic Controller is almost identical to the SNES controller.
* While the Family Edition lacks GameCube ports, the console mold still has cutouts for the GameCube controller ports and memory card slots, but the lid is sealed shut. The same cannot be said for the Wii Mini.

'''''Wii Sports''''' is a 2006 game developed by Nintendo for the [[Wii]]. It was released on November 19, 2006 in the US. It is regarded as one of the top 5 best selling games of all time, and the single best selling game on a single console ever made, with 80+ million units sold, most Wii systems having this game included as a pack-in title.
A sequel, ''[[Wii Sports Resort]]'', released in 2009 for the Wii, with many new sports added to the game as well Bowling and Golf making a return
A remaster, ''[[Wii Sports Club]]'', released on the Wii U in 2013-2014, containing all 5 of the sports from this game in HD.
A reboot of the Wii Sports series, ''[[Nintendo Switch Sports]]'', released on April 29, 2022, with three new sports (Badminton, Volleyball, and Soccer), and five returning ones (Chambara, Bowling, Tennis, Basketball, and Golf).
==Why It's the Game==
#All of the games (except ''Boxing'') are awesome and fun to play in both Multiplayer and 1 vs CPU(s) matches.
#You can play as your Miis you created in your Mii Plaza in this game, and because of how advanced and creative the Mii Maker is, it can be very amusing seeing the Miis of Peter Griffin or Garfield playing sports.
#In ''Tennis'', if you do not put yourself in any of the spots, all of the spots will be filled with CPUs, and as a result, you can watch a Tennis game with this feature.
#*You can also put yourself in all of the spots, which is actually fun to do.
#In Bowling and Golf, you can play up to 4 player games with one Wii Remote, meaning that you can play with friends without needing Wiimotes for everyone.
#*However, it is considered more fun to play with multiple players, but it does not apply in other sports. This also applies to all training games.
#It is one of the best-selling games of all time (the third-best-selling one, to be exact), and the best-selling game for a single system to date.
#Despite being a tech demo, it has all kinds of unique features which are really fun that makes it even better.
#The Wii Sports fitness tests, while inaccurate, are still fun and can help with fitness.
#You can play with a teammate in Tennis to make the game easier. Unfortunately, it doesn't give you many skill points if you do win the game.
#The Miis in your Mii Plaza can appear in your baseball team, meaning that you can technically play the game with 18 people.
#*However, you cannot choose them, so it is hard to have a satisfying time playing it like this.
#There are many special features and Easter Eggs:
#*In Tennis, you can play on a blue court by pressing 2 till the court is visible and you are about to choose where you and the other players will go.
#*In Bowling, if you are a pro, you can play with a bowling ball with stars. Also, you can choose the color of your bowling ball by pressing one of the directions on the D-Pad until the alley is visible.
#*In Boxing, you can play with silver gloves after defeating the champion, Matt, by pressing the 1 button until the next match is about to start.
#Amazing and memorable soundtrack, with the biggest examples being the title theme, the ''Boxing'' theme, the ''Bowling'' music, and many others.
#The noises of the crowd are hilarious, especially when you throw the bowling ball behind you.
#The CPUs are 60 unique Miis, 30 male and 30 female. Some of the most memorable CPUs in this game are Matt, Kentaro, Ryan, Elisa, Abby, Miyu, Sakura, etc.
#In ''Power Throws'', there is an Easter Egg known as the '''Secret Strike''' where on the last stage (91 pins), if the ball is rolled all the way down the lane on the side gutter guards, the screen will start shaking, which will knock down all the pins. This can really help if you want to get a platinum medal or max out the score in this mode.
==Bad Qualities==
#''Boxing'' is the only bad sport in this game, considering that the Nunchuck's tracking is awful and many of the people who you play against are annoying. This would later be improved upon with [[Punch-Out!! (2009)|Punch-Out!! on Wii]].
#The game can be quite annoying when trying to master it.
#As mentioned earlier, you cannot choose which Miis are on your team in ''Baseball''.
#*If you use a Guest Mii or a Mii on your Wii Remote, or do not have enough Miis in your Wii Console, the game will use the CPU Miis to fill the slots.
#''Baseball'' is based mostly on trial-and-error, because there are times where you will hit the ball too soft and it will get caught, resulting in an out, there are times where you hit it hard and it goes out of the park, resulting in a home run, or there are times where as a pitcher, you try to throw a Splitter, and a '''!''' appears over your Mii's head, causing a slow, easily hittable fastball, worst thing about this, it is out of your control.
#Despite the training activities being fun, there are some problems:
#*''Returning Balls'' can have bad tracking and appears ''way'' too much in Wii Sports Fitness tests.
#*The baseball activities are very hard for the average player. Also, none of the 3 baseball training activities focus on pitching, only batting.
#*Like the baseball activities, the bowling activities are also hard especially considering ''barely'' any of this matters in the actual game (unless of course, you just get lucky with splitters). However, the power throws were ''really good''.
#*The Golf activities are arguably the hardest as they just are way too much and arguably has the most difficult platinum medal missions. However, while the driving range could be better, it is not as bad as the others.
#*The last two boxing activities (therefore the last activities in the entire Wii Sports Training place) are downright biased. ''Dodging'' can be completely random with the balls and they can be difficult to avoid. ''Throwing Punches'' can be VERY difficult to master, especially if you keep hitting Matt by accident.
== Reception ==
''Wii Sports'' received generally favorable reviews from critics and audiences alike (scoring 76/100 and 8.0/10, respectively, on Metacritic). It is also the third-best-selling game of all time, and the best-selling Nintendo game/game exclusive to one console.

'''Nintendo GameCube''' (codenamed '''Dolphin''') is a home gaming console developed by Nintendo. It is the successor to the Nintendo 64 and competed against the [[Dreamcast]], [[PlayStation 2]] and [[Xbox (console)|Xbox]]. It was succeeded by the Wii in 2006 and was discontinued in 2007.
The GameCube was the second most robust console of its generation, behind the Xbox, but ahead of the PlayStation 2.
== Hardware specifications ==
* PU: 32-bit IBM PowerPC 750CXe Gekko @ 485 MHz
* Memory: 24 MB of 1T-SRAM @ 324 MHz as system RAM, 3 MB of embedded 1T-SRAM as video RAM, 16 MB of DRAM as I/O buffer RAM
* Storage:
** Memory cards: 512 KB, 2 MB, 8 MB
* Display: 480i (RCA), 576i (PAL), 240p, 480i, 480p, 576i (PAL), 576p (modding, component)
* Graphics: ATI Flipper GPU @ 162 MHz with 3MB embedded 1T-SRAM
* Media: GameCube disc
== Why It's Born to Play ==
# It is the very first Nintendo console to use discs. This allowed quicker loading times and much larger games to be developed and released on it than the N64.
# All GameCube controllers are forward compatible with most Wii games. An example of this is ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''.
# The console supports online gaming for a small number of titles via the broadband or modem adapter.
# The Nintendo GameCube introduced the concept of [[w:miniDVD|miniDVDs]] as a primary storage medium instead of regular-sized DVD discs. The mini DVDs were implemented to avoid heavy piracy, which Sony's PlayStation line suffered from. However, this format did somewhat cause the same third-party problem with the N64 where some games were too big to release on the system.
# A special Game Boy Advance cable can be used to link GameCube and Game Boy Advance to unlock secrets and bonuses on many games for both consoles.
# The back of the console has a handle for easy transportation.
# The Game Boy Player add-on allows you to play Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance games. ''Game Boy Advance'' Video cartridges are blocked from being compatible with the ''Game Boy Player'' which is a shame because the GameCube cannot play CDs or DVDs. According to Nintendo, this was to prevent illegal copying of the video, though it didn't matter given the bad quality of the cartridges. The ''Game Boy Player'' also has additional features, The most puzzling one is the timer, it's literally just a normal timer that doesn't affect the games at all. Sadly, ''Super Game Boy'' enhancements are not supported on the ''Game Boy Player''.
# It uses a 59-block memory card, and memory cards in other sizes were also available.
# It had a reasonably cheap launch price, costing $199 compared to the PS2 and Xbox's $299 launch prices.
# Many amazing Nintendo titles were made for the console, such as
#* ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''
#* ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]''
#* ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]''
#* ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', ''[[Mario Party 5|5]]'', ''[[Mario Party 6|6]]'', and ''[[Mario Party 7|7]]''
#* ''[[Metroid Prime]]''
#* ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]''
#* ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''
#* ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''
#* ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''
#* ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures]]''
#* ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]''
#* ''Star Fox: Assault''
#* ''Pokemon Colosseum''
#* ''Pokemon XD: Gale Of Darkness''
#* ''Odama''
#* ''Super Mario Strikers''
#* ''[[Nintendo Puzzle Collection]] (Japan exclusive)''
#* ''[[F-Zero GX]]''
#* ''[[Pikmin]]''
#* ''[[Pikmin 2]]''
#* ''Kirby Air Ride''
#* ''[[Animal Crossing: Population Growing]]''
#* ''WarioWare Inc: Mega Party Games''
#* ''[[Wario World]]''
#* ''[[Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem]]''
#* ''[[Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance]]''
# Many Nintendo 64 and Dreamcast games were directly ported to the GameCube.
# An original and uncommon design (a cube shape, hence the name).
# The controller was designed to improve the Nintendo 64's qualities and correct the problems it had. It has a unique button layout which makes it very comfortable and easy to get used to. The analog stick has been replaced to avoid the friction and discomfort that was present on the Nintendo 64's controller.
# The main menu music is relaxing thanks to its slow pace and pleasant synth notes.
# Over its lifespan, which came to a close in 2007, more than 600 games were released for the GameCube.
# It is the first Nintendo console to have '''Sega and their ''Sonic'' games'''. This is notable due to Sega and Nintendo being fierce rivals in the 1990s.
#* It is also the first Nintendo console to have ''Crash Bandicoot'' and ''Spyro'' games.
# Despite the low sales and with the release of its successor, the Wii, the GameCube was still in production, games for the system were still being made, the original Wii models were fully backward compatible and the GameCube controller could even be used with some Wii games such as ''Sonic Colors''. Although later revisions removed support as a cost-cutting measure. Later, a GameCube controller adapter for the Wii U was released that would allow compatibility with GameCube controllers for ''Super Smash Bros for Wii U''. The adapter has also been made compatible with most Nintendo Switch games.
# It was so durable, that when it was featured on the X-Play segment "Webb of Destruction", it passed '''every single test!'''
# Many games from the system aged really well and still look great to this day.
# Many great third-party titles, such as:
#* ''[[Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes]]''
#* ''[[Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005)]]''

# This was the first console to have digital AV output which allows for more clean HDMI converters than the other 6th gen consoles.
# It has great startups, and we mean "startups", not only because of the animation and music, but there are also different variations to these startups, which are: kids laughing and kabuki.
# This console essentially set Nintendo's modern standards.
== Bad Qualities ==
# The GameCube's discs, due to them being based on a mini optical disc format developed by Nintendo and Matsushita (National/Panasonic; this format was also used on Wii and Wii U), can't hold as much storage as the DVDs/CDs used in the PS2 and Xbox, so some games such as ''Resident Evil'' had to be split across 2 discs, and others had to have compressed visuals and audio or features cut to fit on them.
# The controller also doesn't have as many buttons as the PS2 or Xbox controllers, and thus some actions in certain games require two buttons to be pressed or are even missing.
#* The GameCube versions of ''Tony Hawk'' and ''SSX'' are missing tricks from the other versions, as an example.
# Despite the effort to reduce piracy with the mini DVDs, the broadband adapter allowed people an easy way to pirate GameCube games. After the release of ''Phantasy Star Online Episode I'' and ''II'', it was discovered that a PC could be made to simulate the conditions of the server the game was connected to, which was used as a method of tunneling the online service. During the simulation, unsigned code would be streamed back to the GameCube, allowing homebrew, and in turn, allowing users to play copied games and allow online gameplay in games that didn't support it.
# Due to the mini DVD format the GameCube utilized, regular-sized DVDs could not be played on it, unlike the Xbox and PS2. Nintendo and Panasonic worked together to make the Panasonic Q which was mainly a DVD player with GameCube functionality built in, but it was only released in Japan. Although the Q is region-free, there's another problem: it is highly expensive, nowadays costing at minimum several times the combined price of a plain GameCube and plain DVD player.
# The DOL-101 model released in 2004 removed the component video output due to poor sales of the component cables.
# Poor sales of the component cable also made the line very rare. Most people on the internet sell them for hundreds of dollars.
# The GameCube's top buttons are known to get stuck with age due to dirt getting in which is a severe problem since the console will not play games with the eject button pushed down. The process to clean them is also annoying since the GameCube case has to be taken off with a custom screwdriver that can only be found online as it uses proprietary screws.
# It is nearly impossible for the average gamer to play GameCube games legally as there have been no [[Virtual Console]] versions on any Nintendo console, meaning you have to own either a GameCube or backward compatible Wii, a memory card which comes separate, and you have to own physical copies of games. It is very hard to find all of the best games even in second-hand stores, and used games are severely overpriced online.
# Some games can take up way too many blocks on your memory card. While games like ''Animal Crossing'' are understandable, some games like ''Disney Sports Football'' take up a lot of blocks.
# The "[https://youtu.be/rLk-5EzJ8as?t=186 GAMEBOY PLAYER IS NOT CONNECTED]" error has a very creepy and loud piano chime that can scare people.
# The discs are hard to get out in the NA boxes due to the bad design of the teeth which can risk breaking the disc and even leaving marks on fingers.
# The sound that accompanies the logo's transition to the menu creeped out some players.
== Reception ==
The GameCube's reception following its launch was generally positive. ''PC Magazine'' praised the console's design and the quality of its games. CNET however, gave a mixed review criticizing its lack of a few features offered by its competition, while being inexpensive, having a great controller design and a decent line-up of games. Nintendo sold 21.74 million GameCube units worldwide before it was discontinued in 2007, making it Nintendo's worst-selling home console until the Wii U surpassed it in 2017.
== Trivia ==
* The GameCube's menu music is the [[Famicom Disk System]]'s startup jingle at a slower tempo.
* It made an appearance in ''[[Steven Universe]]'', as well as the Nintendo 64.

The '''Dreamcast''' was Sega's final home console, succeeding the [[Sega Saturn]], and was the first console of the sixth generation of gaming, released in 1998 for Japan and 1999 worldwide and was discontinued in 2001, before the release of the [[Xbox (console)|Xbox]], [[PlayStation 2]] and [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]].
The Dreamcast was the 4th strongest console of its generation, behind the PlayStation 2.
==Why It's Thinking==
#It ends the Sega console market on an extremely high note. That's why, this is Sega's farewell console.
#Many great titles, including ''[[Sonic Adventure]]'', ''[[Shenmue]]'', ''[[Metropolis Street Racer]]'', ''[[Jet Set Radio]]'', ''[[Ikaruga]]'', ''Crazy Taxi'', ''Power Stone 2'', ''SoulCalibur, NBA 2K and NBA 2K1, NFL 2K and NFL 2K1, NHL 2K and NHL 2K2.''
#It was the first home console to include a modem to connect to the Internet for online play out of the box. Some online games even work to this day through homebrew servers.
#It was very powerful at the time it was released.
#Lots of high-quality sports games and arcade ports. Speaking of arcade ports, the Dreamcast was based on the Naomi hardware, and thus many games for the Naomi had arcade-perfect ports to the Dreamcast.
#It supports native VGA and can output a lot of its games up to 480p.
#The memory card for the Dreamcast, the VMU, not only allowed gamers to save data but also offered gameplay features and even acted as a handheld gaming device itself. During gameplay, it shows mini-images relevant to the game. Some games even use this feature for actual gameplay purposes. This idea would be used further for the [[Wii U]].
#It also works as a CD player and an online browser, though browsing no longer works without a modern adapter like DreamPi.
#More than 700 games for the system, an impressive feat considering it was on the market for less than 3 years.
#There was even a cable that made it compatible with the equally underrated [[Neo Geo Pocket Color]].
#The console supported order-independent transparency, which annihilated transparency issues.
#It is very durable as seen in WIRED's ''Console Wars'', where it survived a 15ft drop and being drenched in a whole bottle of Mountain Dew.
#there was even the Jump Pack which allowed the controller to rumble, like the Nintendo 64's Rumble Pak.
#It even has its game disc format "GD-ROM", which has 1GB of storage which is more compared to the PS1 and Saturn's CD's 700MB of storage.
==Bad Qualities==
# '''Poor release timing''': When the Dreamcast was released the Nintendo 64 and Sony PlayStation was still very relevant and popular, by the time the other 6th generation consoles were announced the Dreamcast was already seen as "old news" by many.
# Like the Sega Saturn, many of its games were arcade ports, which while still solid games, were lacking in actual content, and arcade ports in consoles were declining in popularity at the time.
# The previous failure of the Sega Saturn had left Sega in an extremely precarious financial state. This led to a lack of confidence in the system's future, both from customers and third-party developers. Some publishers such as [[Electronic Arts]] outright refused to support the console and many third-party games were just ports of N64 and PS1 games.
#* Many notable third-party video game franchises were absent from the Dreamcast, including ''Mega Man'', ''Castlevania'', and ''Contra''.
# The PlayStation 2 quickly overshadowed the Dreamcast as soon as it was announced for multiple reasons:
#* The PS2 had a built-in DVD player, which at the time was a big selling point as it made the PS2 the cheapest DVD player on the market, meanwhile the Dreamcast had no DVD functionality.
#* Sega, already struggling financially from the failure of Saturn, drew themselves into a price war with Sony and ended up selling Dreamcasts at a completely unsustainable loss.
#* The PS2 was fully backward compatible, letting PS1 owners play their old games with slightly improved graphics, and giving it a massive existing software library to attract people without a PS1. The Dreamcast, on the other hand, wasn't backward compatible with Saturn at all.
# The online functions were very primitive due to technological limitations at the time.
# There weren't many standout 3D platforming and JRPG games exclusive to it, both of which were some of the most popular genres at the time.
#* ''Sonic Adventure'', ''Sonic Adventure ''2, ''Skies of Arcadia'', ''and Grandia II'' were the only big standout exclusive games in either of those two genres and all of them were ported to other platforms after the Dreamcast's discontinuation.
# The controller is huge compared to previous Sega controllers, being roughly similar in size to the Xbox Duke controller.
#*The controller lacks a second analog stick and only has one pair of L/R buttons, this makes camera control uncomfortable in many games.
#*It should be noted that the Dreamcast is perfectly capable of supporting a controller with two analog sticks (since [http://www.thedreamcastjunkyard.co.uk/2017/01/a-quick-look-at-dreamcast-twin-stick.html there was one]) and this fault in the Dreamcast could probably have been rectified if the console hadn't failed.
#*It also has an awkwardly placed bottom cord which can be annoying when moving the controller around.
# It used Sega's proprietary GD-ROM discs. These were designed to be superior to CDs with their 1 GB capacity and better copy protection but were quickly outmatched by consoles using 4.7 GB DVDs. It wouldn't have been bad if it was used for Saturn instead, but since DVDs have four times as much space as GD-ROMs, it quickly fell out of favor.
# The Dreamcast relied on software sales to turn a profit, however, it was quickly discovered that games could be burned to CD-ROM discs and read by abusing the console's MIL-CD support. This exploit resulted in rampant piracy that substantially impacted sales of legal Dreamcast discs.
#* Pirated discs tend to downgrade the performance of games because they need to cram 1GB onto a CD-ROM.
#* The last batches of Japanese Dreamcasts (3030 model) generally cannot read CD copies of games due to the removal of MIL-CD support and other alterations, but by that point, it was far too late.
# The optical drive is prone to scratching discs, this indirectly encouraged the sale of pirated discs. The read head motor is also very loud.
#* Another common issue with the optical drive causes games to crash randomly and display a message saying "Please wait while disc is being checked"
# The cooling fan, along with the optical drive together is noisy.
==Maintenance==
#The Dreamcast's AC adapter is non-proprietary, so if you break or lose yours, it'll be easy and cheap to get a replacement.
#The VMU's battery drains very quickly, however, it can still keep saving files with a dead battery.
#The Dreamcast has an internal battery for the clock, most of these clocks, however, are no longer working. To replace the battery, the controller board has to be lifted out, and the battery stand has to be unsoldered and replaced with a new stand with a new battery. NOTE: The battery MUST be a rechargeable cell battery or else it will NOT work and will cause leaking.
==Reception==
When first released, the Dreamcast was extremely popular and highly successful, with it breaking several records at the time. However, its popularity was very short-lived, as it was quickly overshadowed by the [[PlayStation 2]]. The system was discontinued less than 2 years after its North American release due to bad sales and lack of funds from Sega.
As Retro Gaming became popular, the Dreamcast became a cult classic. It is now considered a great system despite its short life and commercial failure. It is widely considered the best console Sega ever made and is well remembered for being the final Sega console.
When James Rolfe in his [[The Angry Video Game Nerd|Angry Video Game Nerd]] persona reviewed Sonic Shuffle for ''AVGN Wishlist Part 1'', he acknowledged that the Dreamcast was a good console to go out on, after many ups and downs from the company.
Ever since the Dreamcast's discontinuation, many Sega fans remained hopeful that Sega would eventually release a new console. Over the years, there have been multiple attempts to convince Sega to return to the console market but all of them have failed, as it's unlikely that Sega would have the resources or the money, plus their IPs are all third-party now.
The Dreamcast has built a very dedicated homebrew community that continues to release games to this date.
== Trivia ==
*As mentioned above, Microsoft helped Sega develop some of the concepts for the Dreamcast including the Internet modem. Some of these concepts would later be used on the Xbox, which created a theory that the Xbox was a successor to the Dreamcast.
*The console's codename was Katana.
*The swirl logo's color is blue in Europe. Rumors say it was to avoid copying the logo of a German game company called Tivola.
*If you try to play a Dreamcast game disc in a CD player or any device capable of playing audio CDs, it will play a recorded message telling the user that the disc is for use only on a Dreamcast and to not attempt to play track 1 as it contains game data.
** ''Seaman'', ''[[Shenmue]]'', and ''Skies of Arcadia'' instead have a humorous message that is voiced by the game's characters.
*Even after it was discontinued, game releases continued to trickle in Japan (though the vast majority of them were Naomi ports) until 2007, with Karous as the very last officially released Dreamcast game.

*''[[Jet Set Radio]]''
*''[[Mortal Kombat 4|Mortal Kombat Gold]]''

The '''PlayStation 2''' ('''PS2''' for short) is a game console released in 2000 as the successor to the original [[PlayStation (console)|PlayStation]]. It competed against the [[Dreamcast]], the [[Xbox (console)|Xbox]] and the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. It was succeeded by the [[PlayStation 3]] in 2006 and was discontinued in Japan on December 28, 2012 and worldwide on January 4, 2013.
The PlayStation 2 was the third-strongest console of its generation, behind the GameCube, but ahead of the Dreamcast.

==Why It Lives And Plays In Your World==
#A whopping '''3,847''' games were released for it. On top of that, virtually every game from its generation is playable on (if not exclusive to) the console, outside of Nintendo's and Microsoft's first-party titles and PC-exclusives.
#Almost completely backwards compatible with the [[PlayStation (console)|PlayStation]], so when the game library of both consoles is combined, the number of games you could play was over '''''<u>6,200</u>'''''! Also, you can increase the loading speed of the original PlayStation games. This helped because a lot of games released after the PlayStation 2 came out were for the original PlayStation.
#Remained in production for thirteen years, making it one of the longest-running consoles in gaming history. Even with the release of the [[PlayStation 3|PS3]], the PS2 remained popular into the seventh and eighth generations. New games were released for it even after it had been discontinued. In fact, the console was so popular that the last game on it was '''''Pro Evolution Soccer 2014'', which was released a ''week'' before the [[PlayStation 4]]'s release date!''' However, this version of the game was only released in Europe. This game also had PS3 and PS4 verisons.
#Unlike the PlayStation memory card which could only hold about 15 slots of data, the PS2 memory card has a total of 8MB worth of storage capacity, allowing for a large amount of saving files on each. There are also some variations of bigger memory cards, such as a 16MB one.
#A hard drive was released for the PlayStation 2 Fat model in July 2001 in Japan and in 2004 in North America, technically making it the first released console to have a hard drive before the release of the [[Xbox (console)|Xbox]] in November 2001. The hard drive allows you to store a massive amount of game saves, enhanced certain games, and was used in ''[[Final Fantasy XI]]'' to allow the game to get updates from the server. It was also required as part of the Linux on PS2 Kit
#A huge number of very good games, many of which were exclusives or started on the PS2 such as:
#*''[[God of War (2005)|God of War 1]]'' and ''[[God of War II|2]]''
#*''[[Final Fantasy X]]'', ''[[Final Fantasy X-2|X-2]]'', and ''[[Final Fantasy XII|XII]]''

#Iconic startup screen.
#*It's interesting to note that the blocks on the screen represent any game played on the memory card, and as the player goes through in the game, these blocks become towers. If it fills all the way, the towers will be at the startup instead of the blue galaxy.
#Similar to how ''[[Crash Bandicoot (video game)|Crash Bandicoot]]'' and ''[[Spyro the Dragon]]'' were the unofficial mascots for the PS1, ''[[Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy|Jak]]'', ''[[Ratchet & Clank (2002)|Ratchet]]'', and ''[[Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus|Sly Cooper]]'' were the unofficial mascots of the PS2.
#The first Sony home console '''to have [[Sega]] and their ''[[Sonic Heroes|Sonic]]'' games.''' This is notable due to Sega competing with [[PlayStation|the original PlayStation]] in the late 1990s with their [[Sega Saturn]] and [[Dreamcast]] consoles.
#One of the first major consoles capable of playing DVDs, which was a selling point when it was released and it also meant games could be stored in DVD discs, one of the reasons it outsold its competitors is that it was the only console at the time that plays DVDs out of the box, as the original Xbox can only DVDs via an add-on that's sold separately while the Gamecube DVD compatibility is only exclusive to a certain model released only in Japan while the Dreamcast lacked a DVD drive at all.
#A second "slim" model was also released. It takes less shelf space, has its own built-in Ethernet port to negate the requirement for network adapters, and uses a top-loading disc drive to ease up the process of ejecting a disc. It is still backwards compatible with the PlayStation games and still plays DVD movies.
#Some cases for the games have a small slot to store memory cards.
#The DualShock 2 controller is backwards compatible with the PS1, and the earlier DualShock 1 is also forwards compatible with the PS2. Even the original PS1 controller is forwards compatible with PS2 games that don't require the analog sticks.
#*Speaking of controllers, the PS2 had so many unique controllers such as the DDR pad, Resident Evil 4 Chainsaw controller and so many more.
#Brazilians could '''watch Netflix through a special red disc''' (no longer supported).
#Most PS2s can be modded to play games through USB flash drives or burning, force upscaling to higher resolutions (with component cables), or emulate many games from other consoles like the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] and [[Sega Genesis]].
#*Soft modding a PS2 is fairly easy compared to other consoles and there are various methods of doing so, the easiest being to simply buy a Free McBoot memory card. Hard modding a PS2 however is more difficult than hard modding an original Xbox.
#There is a Sony Bravia TV '''with a built-in PlayStation 2''' released in PAL regions in 2010, However, when the television was released, the PS3 Slim was already available in Europe a year ago.
#One of the earliest consoles to support 1080i through component output. The handful of games that supported this mode include ''[[Gran Turismo 4]]'', ''Tourist Trophy'', and a ''[[Jackass: The Game|Jackass]]'' game of all things.
#It was the first console to be able to run a non-proprietary operating system, namely Linux.
#The console's hardware was similar to that of the [[Wii]] and the [[PlayStation Portable|PSP]], as a result it was on the market alongside its successor until a few months before the PS4 was released.
==Bad Qualities==
#Most multi-platform games look and run worse on the PS2 due to the weaker hardware of the system, most notably ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'', ''[[Psychonauts]]'', and various ''Grand Theft Auto'' and ''Tom Clancy's'' games. This isn't as big of an issue as it could have been, since most games from its generation were designed with the PS2 in mind and didn't take much advantage of the more powerful competitors, but even then, PS2 games usually run at a lower framerate and resolution. Plus a few developers such as Valve, Bethesda, and Id avoided developing games for the PS2 due to its weaker hardware.
#Most early PS2 consoles tend to break down easily or suffer the infamous Red Screen of Death which reads "Please insert a PlayStation or PlayStation 2 format disc." This was fixed on later models.
#*RSOD [https://youtu.be/1uHLQHjtPLE had a creepy sound] that scared many younger gamers and even adults as well much to the point it can give people nightmares.
#Official memory cards are only 8 MB, and very few third-party manufacturers (Nyko, Mad Catz, and Hori) were licensed to make them. 16 MB and up cards are neither licensed nor officially supported, and they can break easily, formatting all data and making it useless.
#*On top of that, some games won't save on any memory card that isn't 8 MB
#The first DVD remotes don't have a power or eject button, and the early PS2s require a receiver dongle to be put into one of the controller ports and a disc to update the player. Later revisions of the remote added the buttons and the SCPH-5000x and up PS2s have the receiver built into them and don't need the update disc, although the eject button only works on the 5000x PS2s since the slims have a mechanical lid rather than a motorized tray.
#Severe lack of quality control on what games could be published on it possibly due to its popularity by kids in Europe or continued lifespan when the PS3 is now in European stores, resulting the console into being the [[Shovelware|shovelware target of its generation]], more so during the latter half its lifecycle. It even resulted in '''[[Animal Soccer World|bootleg]] [[Snow White and the 7 Clever Boys|movies]]''' being published '''exclusively''' for the PS2 rather than in the PS3 and the PSP.
#Official component cables (which, along with [[SCART Cable|RGB SCART]], are known for having the best possible analog video quality) are now very expensive and very rare in some countries like Brazil, ranging from $50-$200, the same goes for the PS3's component cables which are backwards compatible.
#The PlayStation 2 is the only console from its generation that required a multitap to allow more than two people playing at once, even the Dreamcast didn't need a multitap. Worse yet, there were two different versions, since the slim models cannot use the original model's multitap or vice versa, since the gap between the controller port and the memory card slot were different. Even the '''[[Nintendo 64]], which was from the last generation, didn't need a multitap!'''
#Despite being backward compatible with PlayStation games, you still need PS1 memory cards for saving PS1 games.
#Linux can't be installed on the slim models due to them lacking hard drive support from the fat models.#The SCPH-7000x and SCPH-7500x models require an external power brick (fortunately the brick isn't in the socket part).
#Most SCPH 9000x models are currently impossible to mod due to improved security measures Sony has built into them.
#The slim models are notorious for damaging or destroying discs due to the laser cable loosening over time and eventually scratching the discs.
#The fat models have terrible physical durability and can get damaged easily when dropped from 5 feet which is worse than most other consoles.
==Maintenance==
#The ribbon that moves the lens when reading a disc on the slim model can touch the disc while it spins, leaving a big circular scratch on every disc you play. '''<font style="color: red">If this happens to you, stop using your PS2 immediately and take it to be repaired.</font>'''
#PlayStation games played via backward compatibility can't save data into a PlayStation 2 memory card, so make sure you own an older PS1 memory card.
#Some unofficial game discs such as the ones produced by [[Phoenix Games]], [[Data Design Interactive]], [[The Code Monkeys]] and [[Blast Entertainment]] can damage your console due to those discs' poor quality.
==Reception==
The PlayStation 2 is currently the best-selling video game system in history, selling over '''155 million units''' as of March 31, 2012. Its ability to play DVDs and PlayStation games as well as good third-party support was a major factor to its massive success.
==Trivia==
*The announcement of the PS2 alone was strong enough to cause the Dreamcast to decline in sales quickly and kill it for good.
*The following PS2 games are the only games on the PS2 that can be played in 1080i:
**''Tourist Trophy''
**''Gran Turismo 4''
**''Jackass: The Game''
**''Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria''
*It took nearly a decade for the PS2 to be launched in Brazil, leaving it on the market for only three years in that country.
*A digital video recorder based on the PS2, the ''[[PSX]]'' (not to be confused with the original PlayStation that also used ''PSX'' as its code name), was released in 2003 only in Japan. It became a total flop due to having a really high launch price, and other fatal flaws, causing Sony to cancel their plans on releasing the device outside of Japan.
*It barely gets outsold by the Nintendo DS with only 1 million units, causing it to be the best selling console ever made.
*The more memory cards the console has the more blocks will appear on the startup screen.

The '''PlayStation''' (unofficially abbreviated as the '''PS1''') is [[Sony Interactive Entertainment|Sony]]'s first video game console and competed against the [[Nintendo 64]] and the [[Sega Saturn]], and was released in 1994. It was succeeded by the [[PlayStation 2]] in 2000 and was discontinued in 2006. It is the best selling home console of the fifth generation.
==Origins==
Nintendo and Sony had a partnership to work on a CD add-on for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]], but disputes ended the partnership. Nintendo went on to work with Philips on the concept and that produced the [[CD-i]].
Sony, on the other hand, kept the technology they had developed and after being turned down by [[Sega]] of Japan, they decided to release the add-on as a standalone console, which would become the PlayStation.
==Why It's the Power of PlayStation==
#Over '''2.400''' titles were released for the system!
#It can play audio CDs. Many audiophiles claim a specific model (the SCPH-100x) is one of the best CD players ever made.
#Helped in the major shift of 2D gaming to 3D gaming, along with the [[Nintendo 64]].
#[[PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16|While it was not the first game console to use CDs]], it was the first to do so successfully and made CD use popular. Discs are now the standard game format for home consoles.
#While the Nintendo 64 introduced analog sticks, the PlayStation DualShock controller was the one that set the standard for future consoles' analog stick usage with the use of two separate analog sticks on the controller rather than one and on top of that it wasn't bad like the N64 analog stick.
#'''The startup sound.'''
# A huge number of role-playing games and platformer titles.
#It was very easy to develop for, thus gaining very strong third-party support, and later smaller homebrew support too.
#It is the first console in history to reach 100 million units sold.
#A smaller model called the ''PSOne'' was also released, which is a great option if you don't have much space.
#A large number of very good games (some of which were the beginning of franchises) including:
#*''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'', Final Fantasy VIII, & ''[[Final Fantasy IX|IX]]''
#*''[[Resident Evil]]'' franchise
#*''The Legend of Dragoon''
#*[[Tekken (1994)]], [[Tekken 2]], and [[Tekken 3]]
#*''Parasite Eve'''
#*[[Tomb Raider (1996)]], [[Tomb Raider II]], [[Tomb Raider III]], [[Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation]] and [[Tomb Raider: Chronicles]]
#*''Rayman''
#*[[Gokujō Parodius! ~Kako no Eikō o Motomete~|Gokujō Parodius! ~Kako no Eikō o Motomete,]]
#*Jikkyō Oshaberi Parodius ~forever with me~
#*''Sexy Parodius''
#*''Gran Turismo 1'' & ''Gran Turismo 2''
#*[[Tony Hawk's Pro Skater]] and [[Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2]]
#*''Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee'', and its sequel, ''Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus''.
#*''[[Metal Gear Solid]]''
#*''[[Pac-Man World]]''
#*''[[Crash Bandicoot (video game)|Crash Bandicoot]]'', ''[[Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back|Cortex Strikes Back]]'', and ''[[Crash Bandicoot: Warped|Warped]]''
#*''[[Spyro the Dragon]]'', ''Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage'', and ''Spyro: Year of the Dragon''
#*[[PaRappa the Rapper]]
#*''MediEvil''
#*''Twisted Metal'', ''Twisted Metal 2'' and ''Twisted Metal 4''
#*[[Castlevania: Symphony of the Night]]
#*''[[Namco Museum (1995-1998)|Namco Museum]]''
#*''[[Mega Man X4]]'', ''[[Mega Man X5|X5]]'' and [[Mega Man X6|X6]] (depending on your point view).
#*''[[Klonoa: Door to Phantomile]]''
#Many of its games are also available to download for relatively cheap from the PlayStation Store on the [[PlayStation 3]] (which is backwards compatible) and [[PlayStation Vita]].
#The PS One model [[PS One LCD Screen Attachment|has a screen add-on]], which adds more portability and saves you from having to buy a TV.
#Unlike the other controllers, which had their buttons called either by numbers ('''1, 2, 3, 4,''') or letters ('''A, B, C, D, X, Y''' & '''Z'''), the PlayStation's Dualshock controller uses geometric shapes ('''Δ, O, X''', & '''ロ'''), a format that's unique and exclusive to the PlayStation consoles even today.
#PS1 games use black CD-ROMs, which is a good and easy way to tell if a PS1 disc is real or pirated.
#Due to PS1 discs being CDs, you can insert the disc in any CD player and listen to the soundtrack normally.
==Bad Qualities==
#Games that predate the DualShock must be played entirely with the D-pad or controllers that have no analog sticks in the first place.
#The PS One model lacks the reset button from the original models.
#Due to the PS1 BIOS being very basic compared to Sega Saturn, [https://youtu.be/dHDYBafE2bY?si=Uf6G8lAkzAQ-2Twy The Fearful Harmony] is quite scary, although it's kind of easy, you need the PS1 to be modchipped and you have to insert a Windows game disc, the PS1 itself will struggle to read the disc, making loud noises like a car engine, after about 5 or 6 minutes a sound part will come out of the startup, but it is very slow and annoying.
#Games from franchises such as ''Final Fantasy'', ''Parasite Eve'', ''Metal Gear Solid'', and ''Resident Evil'' now tend to sell for ridiculously expensive prices upwards of $50, even for well used discs.
#There are only two controller ports despite many games supporting four players. You need a Multitap to be able to plug four controllers in.
#*If you want to play multiplayer games like ''[[Doom (1993)]]'' or ''[[Command & Conquer: Red Alert]]'', you need a link cable to hook up 2 PS1s together and 2 TVs as these games do not use split-screen.
#Memory cards only hold 128 KB (15 blocks for save files) of memory, and some games even take up ''two cards''.
#The early models from the launch SCPH-1000 to SCPH-5000 are notorious for skipping FMVs due to a poorly designed laser assembly. This was fixed beginning with the SCPH-5500.
#The laser can get damaged easily over time and depending on the model, replacements can be pretty expensive.
#[[Dust and video games|Dust]] can easily get into the disc tray.
==Reception==
With more than 100 million units sold worldwide, the PlayStation was the most popular and successful console of the fifth generation of gaming. It is also considered the console that made CD based gaming popular which is the norm now, despite not being the first console to use CDs, but it was the first to do so successfully.
YouTuber [[AlphaOmegaSin]] owns nearly every RPG on the system and claims he became a fan of the genre because of the PlayStation. Caddicarus focuses almost exclusively on this system as it was his first console growing up.[[File:Sony console 1970.jpg|thumb|A picture of Sony's 1970's prototype console.|267x267px|alt=]]
==Sony's prototype console from the 1970s==
Sony, the creator of the console, originally had plans to release an older game console back in the 1970s (Yes, the same decade the [[Atari 2600]] came out!). Although it was displayed at Tokyo around 2004 or 2005, there is little knowledge about this unnamed prototype. It would use cards to play games and has no controller ports. It's spectulated that instead of using controllers, the console instead has buttons on itself, the red ones being for answers (こたえ/Kotae) and the blue one for proceeding (すすめ/Susume). There is also a wheel on the side of the console that would be used for scrolling vertically. So this supposedly would've been a console designed for quiz games. The console would use motion graphics for the games.<ref>https://www.neogaf.com/threads/sonys-1970s-unreleased-gaming-console-couldve-been-the-first-console-ever.1573195/</ref>

The '''PlayStation''' (unofficially abbreviated as the '''PS1''') is [[Sony Interactive Entertainment|Sony]]'s first video game console and competed against the [[Nintendo 64]] and the [[Sega Saturn]], and was released in 1994. It was succeeded by the [[PlayStation 2]] in 2000 and was discontinued in 2006. It is the best selling home console of the fifth generation.
==Origins==
Nintendo and Sony had a partnership to work on a CD add-on for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]], but disputes ended the partnership. Nintendo went on to work with Philips on the concept and that produced the [[CD-i]].
Sony, on the other hand, kept the technology they had developed and after being turned down by [[Sega]] of Japan, they decided to release the add-on as a standalone console, which would become the PlayStation.
==Why It's the Power of PlayStation==
#Over '''2.400''' titles were released for the system!
#It can play audio CDs. Many audiophiles claim a specific model (the SCPH-100x) is one of the best CD players ever made.
#Helped in the major shift of 2D gaming to 3D gaming, along with the [[Nintendo 64]].
#[[PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16|While it was not the first game console to use CDs]], it was the first to do so successfully and made CD use popular. Discs are now the standard game format for home consoles.
#While the Nintendo 64 introduced analog sticks, the PlayStation DualShock controller was the one that set the standard for future consoles' analog stick usage with the use of two separate analog sticks on the controller rather than one and on top of that it wasn't bad like the N64 analog stick.
#'''The startup sound.'''
# A huge number of role-playing games and platformer titles.
#It was very easy to develop for, thus gaining very strong third-party support, and later smaller homebrew support too.
#It is the first console in history to reach 100 million units sold.
#A smaller model called the ''PSOne'' was also released, which is a great option if you don't have much space.
#A large number of very good games (some of which were the beginning of franchises) including:
#*''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'', Final Fantasy VIII, & ''[[Final Fantasy IX|IX]]''
#*''[[Resident Evil]]'' franchise
#*''The Legend of Dragoon''
#*[[Tekken (1994)]], [[Tekken 2]], and [[Tekken 3]]
#*''Parasite Eve'''
#*[[Tomb Raider (1996)]], [[Tomb Raider II]], [[Tomb Raider III]], [[Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation]] and [[Tomb Raider: Chronicles]]
#*''Rayman''

#*''[[Klonoa: Door to Phantomile]]''
#Many of its games are also available to download for relatively cheap from the PlayStation Store on the [[PlayStation 3]] (which is backwards compatible) and [[PlayStation Vita]].
#The PS One model [[PS One LCD Screen Attachment|has a screen add-on]], which adds more portability and saves you from having to buy a TV.
#Unlike the other controllers, which had their buttons called either by numbers ('''1, 2, 3, 4,''') or letters ('''A, B, C, D, X, Y''' & '''Z'''), the PlayStation's Dualshock controller uses geometric shapes ('''Δ, O, X''', & '''ロ'''), a format that's unique and exclusive to the PlayStation consoles even today.
#PS1 games use black CD-ROMs, which is a good and easy way to tell if a PS1 disc is real or pirated.
#Due to PS1 discs being CDs, you can insert the disc in any CD player and listen to the soundtrack normally.
==Bad Qualities==
#Games that predate the DualShock must be played entirely with the D-pad or controllers that have no analog sticks in the first place.
#The PS One model lacks the reset button from the original models.
#Due to the PS1 BIOS being very basic compared to Sega Saturn, [https://youtu.be/dHDYBafE2bY?si=Uf6G8lAkzAQ-2Twy The Fearful Harmony] is quite scary, although it's kind of easy, you need the PS1 to be modchipped and you have to insert a Windows game disc, the PS1 itself will struggle to read the disc, making loud noises like a car engine, after about 5 or 6 minutes a sound part will come out of the startup, but it is very slow and annoying.
#Games from franchises such as ''Final Fantasy'', ''Parasite Eve'', ''Metal Gear Solid'', and ''Resident Evil'' now tend to sell for ridiculously expensive prices upwards of $50, even for well used discs.
#There are only two controller ports despite many games supporting four players. You need a Multitap to be able to plug four controllers in.
#*If you want to play multiplayer games like ''[[Doom (1993)]]'' or ''[[Command & Conquer: Red Alert]]'', you need a link cable to hook up 2 PS1s together and 2 TVs as these games do not use split-screen.
#Memory cards only hold 128 KB (15 blocks for save files) of memory, and some games even take up ''two cards''.
#The early models from the launch SCPH-1000 to SCPH-5000 are notorious for skipping FMVs due to a poorly designed laser assembly. This was fixed beginning with the SCPH-5500.
#The laser can get damaged easily over time and depending on the model, replacements can be pretty expensive.
#[[Dust and video games|Dust]] can easily get into the disc tray.
==Reception==
With more than 100 million units sold worldwide, the PlayStation was the most popular and successful console of the fifth generation of gaming. It is also considered the console that made CD based gaming popular which is the norm now, despite not being the first console to use CDs, but it was the first to do so successfully.
YouTuber [[AlphaOmegaSin]] owns nearly every RPG on the system and claims he became a fan of the genre because of the PlayStation. Caddicarus focuses almost exclusively on this system as it was his first console growing up.[[File:Sony console 1970.jpg|thumb|A picture of Sony's 1970's prototype console.|267x267px|alt=]]
==Sony's prototype console from the 1970s==
Sony, the creator of the console, originally had plans to release an older game console back in the 1970s (Yes, the same decade the [[Atari 2600]] came out!). Although it was displayed at Tokyo around 2004 or 2005, there is little knowledge about this unnamed prototype. It would use cards to play games and has no controller ports. It's spectulated that instead of using controllers, the console instead has buttons on itself, the red ones being for answers (こたえ/Kotae) and the blue one for proceeding (すすめ/Susume). There is also a wheel on the side of the console that would be used for scrolling vertically. So this supposedly would've been a console designed for quiz games. The console would use motion graphics for the games.<ref>https://www.neogaf.com/threads/sonys-1970s-unreleased-gaming-console-couldve-been-the-first-console-ever.1573195/</ref>

The '''PlayStation''' (unofficially abbreviated as the '''PS1''') is [[Sony Interactive Entertainment|Sony]]'s first video game console and competed against the [[Nintendo 64]] and the [[Sega Saturn]], and was released in 1994. It was succeeded by the [[PlayStation 2]] in 2000 and was discontinued in 2006. It is the best selling home console of the fifth generation.
==Origins==
Nintendo and Sony had a partnership to work on a CD add-on for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]], but disputes ended the partnership. Nintendo went on to work with Philips on the concept and that produced the [[CD-i]].
Sony, on the other hand, kept the technology they had developed and after being turned down by [[Sega]] of Japan, they decided to release the add-on as a standalone console, which would become the PlayStation.
==Why It's the Power of PlayStation==
#Over '''2.400''' titles were released for the system!
#It can play audio CDs. Many audiophiles claim a specific model (the SCPH-100x) is one of the best CD players ever made.
#Helped in the major shift of 2D gaming to 3D gaming, along with the [[Nintendo 64]].
#[[PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16|While it was not the first game console to use CDs]], it was the first to do so successfully and made CD use popular. Discs are now the standard game format for home consoles.
#While the Nintendo 64 introduced analog sticks, the PlayStation DualShock controller was the one that set the standard for future consoles' analog stick usage with the use of two separate analog sticks on the controller rather than one and on top of that it wasn't bad like the N64 analog stick.
#'''The startup sound.'''
# A huge number of role-playing games and platformer titles.
#It was very easy to develop for, thus gaining very strong third-party support, and later smaller homebrew support too.
#It is the first console in history to reach 100 million units sold.
#A smaller model called the ''PSOne'' was also released, which is a great option if you don't have much space.
#A large number of very good games (some of which were the beginning of franchises) including:
#*''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'', Final Fantasy VIII, & ''[[Final Fantasy IX|IX]]''
#*''[[Resident Evil]]'' franchise
#*''The Legend of Dragoon''
#*[[Tekken (1994)]], [[Tekken 2]], and [[Tekken 3]]
#*''Parasite Eve'''
#*[[Tomb Raider (1996)]], [[Tomb Raider II]], [[Tomb Raider III]], [[Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation]] and [[Tomb Raider: Chronicles]]
#*''Rayman''
#*[[Gokujō Parodius! ~Kako no Eikō o Motomete~|Gokujō Parodius! ~Kako no Eikō o Motomete,]]
#*Jikkyō Oshaberi Parodius ~forever with me~
#*''Sexy Parodius''
#*''Gran Turismo 1'' & ''Gran Turismo 2''
#*[[Tony Hawk's Pro Skater]] and [[Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2]]
#*''Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee'', and its sequel, ''Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus''.
#*''[[Metal Gear Solid]]''
#*''[[Pac-Man World]]''
#*''[[Crash Bandicoot (video game)|Crash Bandicoot]]'', ''[[Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back|Cortex Strikes Back]]'', and ''[[Crash Bandicoot: Warped|Warped]]''
#*''[[Spyro the Dragon]]'', ''Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage'', and ''Spyro: Year of the Dragon''
#*[[PaRappa the Rapper]]
#*''MediEvil''
#*''Twisted Metal'', ''Twisted Metal 2'' and ''Twisted Metal 4''
#*[[Castlevania: Symphony of the Night]]
#*''[[Namco Museum (1995-1998)|Namco Museum]]''
#*''[[Mega Man X4]]'', ''[[Mega Man X5|X5]]'' and [[Mega Man X6|X6]] (depending on your point view).
#*''[[Klonoa: Door to Phantomile]]''
#Many of its games are also available to download for relatively cheap from the PlayStation Store on the [[PlayStation 3]] (which is backwards compatible) and [[PlayStation Vita]].
#The PS One model [[PS One LCD Screen Attachment|has a screen add-on]], which adds more portability and saves you from having to buy a TV.
#Unlike the other controllers, which had their buttons called either by numbers ('''1, 2, 3, 4,''') or letters ('''A, B, C, D, X, Y''' & '''Z'''), the PlayStation's Dualshock controller uses geometric shapes ('''Δ, O, X''', & '''ロ'''), a format that's unique and exclusive to the PlayStation consoles even today.
#PS1 games use black CD-ROMs, which is a good and easy way to tell if a PS1 disc is real or pirated.
#Due to PS1 discs being CDs, you can insert the disc in any CD player and listen to the soundtrack normally.
==Bad Qualities==
#Games that predate the DualShock must be played entirely with the D-pad or controllers that have no analog sticks in the first place.
#The PS One model lacks the reset button from the original models.
#Due to the PS1 BIOS being very basic compared to Sega Saturn, [https://youtu.be/dHDYBafE2bY?si=Uf6G8lAkzAQ-2Twy The Fearful Harmony] is quite scary, although it's kind of easy, you need the PS1 to be modchipped and you have to insert a Windows game disc, the PS1 itself will struggle to read the disc, making loud noises like a car engine, after about 5 or 6 minutes a sound part will come out of the startup, but it is very slow and annoying.
#Games from franchises such as ''Final Fantasy'', ''Parasite Eve'', ''Metal Gear Solid'', and ''Resident Evil'' now tend to sell for ridiculously expensive prices upwards of $50, even for well used discs.
#There are only two controller ports despite many games supporting four players. You need a Multitap to be able to plug four controllers in.
#*If you want to play multiplayer games like ''[[Doom (1993)]]'' or ''[[Command & Conquer: Red Alert]]'', you need a link cable to hook up 2 PS1s together and 2 TVs as these games do not use split-screen.
#Memory cards only hold 128 KB (15 blocks for save files) of memory, and some games even take up ''two cards''.
#The early models from the launch SCPH-1000 to SCPH-5000 are notorious for skipping FMVs due to a poorly designed laser assembly. This was fixed beginning with the SCPH-5500.
#The laser can get damaged easily over time and depending on the model, replacements can be pretty expensive.
#[[Dust and video games|Dust]] can easily get into the disc tray.
==Reception==
With more than 100 million units sold worldwide, the PlayStation was the most popular and successful console of the fifth generation of gaming. It is also considered the console that made CD based gaming popular which is the norm now, despite not being the first console to use CDs, but it was the first to do so successfully.
YouTuber [[AlphaOmegaSin]] owns nearly every RPG on the system and claims he became a fan of the genre because of the PlayStation. Caddicarus focuses almost exclusively on this system as it was his first console growing up.[[File:Sony console 1970.jpg|thumb|A picture of Sony's 1970's prototype console.|267x267px|alt=]]
==Sony's prototype console from the 1970s==
Sony, the creator of the console, originally had plans to release an older game console back in the 1970s (Yes, the same decade the [[Atari 2600]] came out!). Although it was displayed at Tokyo around 2004 or 2005, there is little knowledge about this unnamed prototype. It would use cards to play games and has no controller ports. It's spectulated that instead of using controllers, the console instead has buttons on itself, the red ones being for answers (こたえ/Kotae) and the blue one for proceeding (すすめ/Susume). There is also a wheel on the side of the console that would be used for scrolling vertically. So this supposedly would've been a console designed for quiz games. The console would use motion graphics for the games.<ref>https://www.neogaf.com/threads/sonys-1970s-unreleased-gaming-console-couldve-been-the-first-console-ever.1573195/</ref>

'''''[[:w:Fanboy & Chum Chum|Fanboy & Chum Chum]]''''' is an American CGI animated television series created by Eric Robles for Nickelodeon. It is based on ''Fanboy'', an animated short created by Robles for Nicktoons and Frederator Studios, which was broadcast from August 14, 2009, to October 17, 2012, on ''Random! Cartoons''. The series was first broadcast on October 12, 2009, on Nickelodeon as a preview, then officially premiered on November 6, 2009, after ''[[Truth or Square (SpongeBob SquarePants)|SpongeBob's Truth or Square]]'', and officially ended on July 12, 2014.
==Plot==
Fanboy and Chum Chum are fans of all things science fiction and fantasy and wear wild superhero costumes with their underwear on the outside. Their lives are filled with adventure, from Fanboy's teacher turning into a zombie to an ice monster operating the Frosty Freezy Freeze machine. Their pal Kyle usually tags along on their escapades. Kyle is a real wizard, but Fanboy and Chum Chum are oblivious to his mystical powers, although they live in a world of fantasy.
==Why It Gives You a Brain Freeze==
#The show can easily be seen as a rehash of ''SpongeBob SquarePants'', as Fanboy, Chum Chum, and Kyle are literal clones of SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward, respectively (though Kyle is likable).
#The art style, despite being original, Looney Tunes-esque, and also Veggietales-esque, has its problems:
#*The character designs are quite ugly and unnatural, thus, they also don't translate well in 3D. Notably, the eyes look like they're bulging out of the characters' skulls, the hands of some of the characters are too big, the ears make them look like monkeys, and some of their foreheads are too big (with Kyle and Sigmund being perfect examples), and the faces look uncanny and unnatural. Also, they look like characters rejected by ''[[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius]]'' at best.
#*The backgrounds are a bit of an eyesore, due to the colors being too bright and them looking weird.
#While the animation is very nice and fluid, especially for the time it came out, several animation errors can be noticed throughout several episodes. This can be noticeable in the first season.
#It can be inappropriate at times, like ''[[Breadwinners]]'' and ''[[Sanjay and Craig]]'':
#*It overuses [[Toilet/Gross-Out Humor|toilet/gross-out humor]], especially in the episodes "Pick a Nose" and "Fanboy Stinks". Examples:
#**Fanboy sneezing into his surgical mask when he is disguised as a nurse.
#**Chum Chum has a foot with a bad odor rubbed on his face, which disgusts Fanboy.
#**Kyle attempts to pull Fanboy's finger and Fanboy flatulates on him when he refuses.
#**Fanboy and Chum Chum hiding in a waste container.
#**Mr. Mufflin's feet with a bad odor.
#**Boog saying that he likes to defecate in his diaper.
#**Fanboy getting his head stuck in a toilet.
#**A bunch of girls being attracted to Fanboy's odor in "Fanboy Stinks".
#*The episode "Moppy Dearest" has '''objectophilia''' jokes in a '''kids'''' show, where Fanboy falls in love with a mop.
#The use of pop culture references, especially to '''R-rated movies''' (eg. ''A Clockwork Orange'' and ''The Shining''), is used in a bad way.
#*They even use references to cereal and other cartoons like ''Lucky Charms'', ''Marvel'' comics, and even ''Schoolhouse Rock'', which are all just weird.
#While there are some likable characters, there are a few unlikable, insufferable, or just plain loathsome characters:
#*The titular duo are immature jerks who, although not intentionally mean, annoy everyone around them, which doesn't help that their voices are a bit too overly squeaky.
#**On top of that, both of their names are downright laughable and nonsensical.
#*Yo, despite being interesting, is a young girl in Fanboy and Chum Chum's class, who obsesses over Chum Chum ''anytime she is seen onscreen''.
#*Mr. Mufflin, despite being likable, used to be quite boring in the first season of the show, as he was a typical "depressed teacher" type character.
#*Sigmund is also somewhat mean-spirited, but only towards Kyle, as he constantly fools him into believing he can get back into milkweed.
#**In his debut episode, he '''gave Fanboy and Chum Chum dynamite so they can explode'''. '''Yes, really'''.
#*Michael Johnson is an insult to the late Michael Jackson, and to add insult to injury, the show premiered four months after his death.
#*Otherwise, some of the good characters, such as Kyle, can have their fair portion of unlikable moments, with a good example being in "Separation Anxiety".
#Kyle's cliché of being treated like dirt is insulting, turning him into a butt-monkey, a character who gets hurt by everyone in the show for little to no (if not any) apparent reason at all.
#*Even Fanboy and Chum Chum are butt-monkeys in some episodes. In "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha", Miss Olive mistakes them as kindergarten students and forces them to attend the class for the whole day.
#Some characters use the same models but with slightly different appearances, different names, and classifications. For example, Lunch Lady Cram's twin sister, Bus Lady Cram, is her but as a bus driver. She has the same appearance as Lunch Lady Cram (the only difference is the hat), the same personality as Lunch Lady Cram (only much more hurtful, cruel, and sadistic), and even the same voice actress as Lunch Lady Cram, Candi Milo (only her voice is slightly deeper and has a much more evil laugh). In one episode, before her name was revealed, everyone in the show even called her Lunch Lady Cram because of this.
#The background music sounds distorted and broken.
#There is so much noise that never stops nor ends:
#*The voice acting mostly consists of screaming and squealing, even from actors such as David Hornsby (Rickety Cricket from ''It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia''), Nika Futterman (Luna Loud and Alexis from ''The Loud House'', Sticks The Badger from ''Sonic Boom'', and Stretch the Tape Measure and Squeeze the Pliers from ''Handy Manny''), Jamie Kennedy (''Son of The Mask'' and ''The Jamie Kennedy Experiment''), and Jeff Bennett (the eponymous character from ''Johnny Bravo'', Kowalski from ''Penguins of Madagascar'', the man with the yellow hat from ''Curious George'', Mick Swagger from ''The Loud House'', Raj and Samson from ''Camp Lazlo,'' Conrad Fleem and Shelton Klutzberry from ''The Replacements, Silvester from The Larry Doyle era of Looney Tunes, Kyle Katarn from Star Wars: Jedi Outcast and Academy'' and Dexter's father from ''Dexter's Laboratory''), Candi Milo (Nora Wakeman from My Life as a Teenage Robot, the eponymous character from Season 3 and 4 of Dexter's Laboratory, Janet from The Boondocks, Dona from Final Fantasy X series, the titular chracter from the Astro Boy game (2004) and Redback Thorn from Ty3: The Tasmanian Tiger: Night of the Quinkan).
#*The theme song, while admittedly catchy, is incredibly annoying, loud, and ear-piercing and the lyrics of the second half of the song consist of "bah bah bah"s. Brad Breeck, the composer of the theme song, also did the ''[[Gravity Falls]]'' title tune. The titular characters sound even worse than they do in the actual show, as they sing like an emo pop or pop punk band by whining.
#**Apart from the "bah bah bah"s, the song also consists of loud screaming throughout.
#*** There are painful yet insufferable sound effects.
#The majority of the show is painfully nonsensical and doesn't have any logical premise.
#Much like ''[[Breadwinners]]'', the pacing is insufferable.
#The title cards, despite looking cool, have a very weird choppy looking art style to them which can sometimes look pretty uncanny. A few are also misleading, such as the one in "Bubble Trouble", where it depicts Boog getting stuck in a soap bubble, despite it '''never actually happening''' throughout the episode.
==Qualities That Deserve Frosty Freezy Freezes==
#The show has some funny moments.
#This show has a good amount of likable characters such as:
#*Kyle
#*Lenny
#*Boog Shlizetti
#*Man-Arctica
#*Mr. Mufflin
#*Dollarnator
#*Agent Johnson
#*Lupe

== Reception ==
<nowiki>''Fanboy & Chum Chum'' was critically panned by the majority of critics and audiences alike. It was criticized for its annoying and unfunny humor and it's mostly lazy visuals. It is considered to be not only one of the worst Nickelodeon shows ever made, but also one of the worst cartoons of all time in general. It sits at a 3.4/10 on IMDb and a 4.9/10 on Rating Graph. The series is often considered the moment that Nickelodeon's decline began and they still haven'</nowiki>t recovered since then (as stated above). However, it seems to have gained a cult following as of now.
==Trivia==
*It was greenlit by Nickelodeon over ''[[Adventure Time]]'', which would air on Cartoon Network because one of the workers found it "too weird".
*It was one of the few Nicktoons to end on its terms on the main channel.
*After nearly three years of being adored, the show was moved to a 7:00 AM slot on weekdays in 2012 – right before the Nick Jr. block in the morning (which usually started at 8:00 or 9:00 AM). Reruns were practically non-existent, as the show would air only on Sundays at 7:00 AM from somewhere around early 2014 to early 2015 before it was banished permanently.
**The series finale ("Brain Freeze") was delayed for two years and was to air on July 12, 2014, but ended up airing a day later on the main Nickelodeon channel.
**On [[Nicktoons (2014-present)|Nicktoons]], the show could be found airing somewhat inconsistently between 4:30 AM and 6:00 AM, along with ''Random! Cartoons'' and ''TUFF Puppy''. These time slots remained until the show entirely ceased to air in March 2016, though it briefly came back to air on Christmas Day in a graveyard slot before being removed for good.
*In separation anxiety, the two main characters' names were revealed. fanboy's real name was Tobias and Chum Chum's real name was Sir Edmund.
*Over the years of its existence, it would later gain a fanbase and cult following, which is wackier than the show itself. The most common places for these fans to appear would be on platforms such as TikTok, Twitter/X, Tumblr, etc. It would also receive some projects from fans, such as fan art and OCs, costumes and cosplays, and memes.
*The entire series was added to Paramount+ on December 15, 2020.<ref>https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/fanboy-and-chum-chum/</ref>
*The creator, Eric Robles, would go on to be the co-creator of ''[[Glitch Techs]].

#**Apart from the "bah bah bah"s, the song also consists of loud screaming throughout.
#*** There are painful yet insufferable sound effects.
#The majority of the show is painfully nonsensical and doesn't have any logical premise.
#Much like ''[[Breadwinners]]'', the pacing is insufferable.
#The title cards, despite looking cool, have a very weird choppy looking art style to them which can sometimes look pretty uncanny.

'''''[[:w:Fanboy & Chum Chum|Fanboy & Chum Chum]]''''' is an American CGI animated television series created by Eric Robles for Nickelodeon. It is based on ''Fanboy'', an animated short created by Robles for Nicktoons and Frederator Studios, which was broadcast from August 14, 2009, to October 17, 2012, on ''Random! Cartoons''. The series was first broadcast on October 12, 2009, on Nickelodeon as a preview, then officially premiered on November 6, 2009, after ''[[Truth or Square (SpongeBob SquarePants)|SpongeBob's Truth or Square]]'', and officially ended on July 12, 2014.
==Plot==
Fanboy and Chum Chum are fans of all things science fiction and fantasy and wear wild superhero costumes with their underwear on the outside. Their lives are filled with adventure, from Fanboy's teacher turning into a zombie to an ice monster operating the Frosty Freezy Freeze machine. Their pal Kyle usually tags along on their escapades. Kyle is a real wizard, but Fanboy and Chum Chum are oblivious to his mystical powers, although they live in a world of fantasy.
==Why It Gives You a Brain Freeze==
#The show can easily be seen as a rehash of ''SpongeBob SquarePants'', as Fanboy, Chum Chum, and Kyle are literal clones of SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward, respectively (though Kyle is likable).
#The art style, despite being original, Looney Tunes-esque, and also Veggietales-esque, has its problems:
#*The character designs are quite ugly and unnatural, thus, they also don't translate well in 3D. Notably, the eyes look like they're bulging out of the characters' skulls, the hands of some of the characters are too big, the ears make them look like monkeys, and some of their foreheads are too big (with Kyle and Sigmund being perfect examples), and the faces look uncanny and unnatural. Also, they look like characters rejected by ''[[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius]]'' at best.
#*The backgrounds are a bit of an eyesore, due to the colors being too bright and them looking weird.
#While the animation is very nice and fluid, especially for the time it came out, several animation errors can be noticed throughout several episodes. This can be noticeable in the first season.
#It can be inappropriate at times, like ''[[Breadwinners]]'' and ''[[Sanjay and Craig]]'':
#*It overuses [[Toilet/Gross-Out Humor|toilet/gross-out humor]], especially in the episodes "Pick a Nose" and "Fanboy Stinks". Examples:
#**Fanboy sneezing into his surgical mask when he is disguised as a nurse.
#**Chum Chum has a foot with a bad odor rubbed on his face, which disgusts Fanboy.
#**Kyle attempts to pull Fanboy's finger and Fanboy flatulates on him when he refuses.
#**Fanboy and Chum Chum hiding in a waste container.
#**Mr. Mufflin's feet with a bad odor.
#**Boog saying that he likes to defecate in his diaper.
#**Fanboy getting his head stuck in a toilet.
#**A bunch of girls being attracted to Fanboy's odor in "Fanboy Stinks".
#*The episode "Moppy Dearest" has '''objectophilia''' jokes in a '''kids'''' show, where Fanboy falls in love with a mop.
#The use of pop culture references, especially to '''R-rated movies''' (eg. ''A Clockwork Orange'' and ''The Shining''), is used in a bad way.
#*They even use references to cereal and other cartoons like ''Lucky Charms'', ''Marvel'' comics, and even ''Schoolhouse Rock'', which are all just weird.
#While there are some likable characters, there are a few unlikable, insufferable, or just plain loathsome characters:
#*The titular duo are immature jerks who, although not intentionally mean, annoy everyone around them, which doesn't help that their voices are a bit too overly squeaky.
#**On top of that, both of their names are downright laughable and nonsensical.
#*Yo, despite being interesting, is a young girl in Fanboy and Chum Chum's class, who obsesses over Chum Chum ''anytime she is seen onscreen''.
#*Mr. Mufflin, despite being likable, used to be quite boring in the first season of the show, as he was a typical "depressed teacher" type character.
#*Sigmund is also somewhat mean-spirited, but only towards Kyle, as he constantly fools him into believing he can get back into milkweed.
#**In his debut episode, he '''gave Fanboy and Chum Chum dynamite so they can explode'''. '''Yes, really'''.
#*Michael Johnson is an insult to the late Michael Jackson, and to add insult to injury, the show premiered four months after his death.
#*Otherwise, some of the good characters, such as Kyle, can have their fair portion of unlikable moments, with a good example being in "Separation Anxiety".
#Kyle's cliché of being treated like dirt is insulting, turning him into a butt-monkey, a character who gets hurt by everyone in the show for little to no (if not any) apparent reason at all.
#*Even Fanboy and Chum Chum are butt-monkeys in some episodes. In "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha", Miss Olive mistakes them as kindergarten students and forces them to attend the class for the whole day.
#Some characters use the same models but with slightly different appearances, different names, and classifications. For example, Lunch Lady Cram's twin sister, Bus Lady Cram, is her but as a bus driver. She has the same appearance as Lunch Lady Cram (the only difference is the hat), the same personality as Lunch Lady Cram (only much more hurtful, cruel, and sadistic), and even the same voice actress as Lunch Lady Cram, Candi Milo (only her voice is slightly deeper and has a much more evil laugh). In one episode, before her name was revealed, everyone in the show even called her Lunch Lady Cram because of this.
#The background music sounds distorted and broken.
#There is so much noise that never stops nor ends:
#*The voice acting mostly consists of screaming and squealing, even from actors such as David Hornsby (Rickety Cricket from ''It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia''), Nika Futterman (Luna Loud and Alexis from ''The Loud House'', Sticks The Badger from ''Sonic Boom'', and Stretch the Tape Measure and Squeeze the Pliers from ''Handy Manny''), Jamie Kennedy (''Son of The Mask'' and ''The Jamie Kennedy Experiment''), and Jeff Bennett (the eponymous character from ''Johnny Bravo'', Kowalski from ''Penguins of Madagascar'', the man with the yellow hat from ''Curious George'', Mick Swagger from ''The Loud House'', Raj and Samson from ''Camp Lazlo,'' Conrad Fleem and Shelton Klutzberry from ''The Replacements, Silvester from The Larry Doyle era of Looney Tunes, Kyle Katarn from Star Wars: Jedi Outcast and Academy'' and Dexter's father from ''Dexter's Laboratory''), Candi Milo (Nora Wakeman from My Life as a Teenage Robot, the eponymous character from Season 3 and 4 of Dexter's Laboratory, Janet from The Boondocks, Dona from Final Fantasy X series, the titular chracter from the Astro Boy game (2004) and Redback Thorn from Ty3: The Tasmanian Tiger: Night of the Quinkan).
#*The theme song, while admittedly catchy, is incredibly annoying, loud, and ear-piercing and the lyrics of the second half of the song consist of "bah bah bah"s. Brad Breeck, the composer of the theme song, also did the ''[[Gravity Falls]]'' title tune. The titular characters sound even worse than they do in the actual show, as they sing like an emo pop or pop punk band by whining.
#**Apart from the "bah bah bah"s, the song also consists of loud screaming throughout.
#*** There are painful yet insufferable sound effects.
#The majority of the show is painfully nonsensical and doesn't have any logical premise.
#Much like ''[[Breadwinners]]'', the pacing is insufferable.
#The title cards, despite looking cool, have a very weird choppy looking art style to them which can sometimes look pretty uncanny. A few are also misleading, such as the one in "Bubble Trouble", where it depicts Boog getting stuck in a soap bubble, despite it '''never actually happening''' throughout the episode.
==Qualities That Deserve Frosty Freezy Freezes==
#The show has some funny moments.
#This show has a good amount of likable characters such as:
#*Kyle
#*Lenny
#*Boog Shlizetti
#*Man-Arctica
#*Mr. Mufflin
#*Dollarnator
#*Agent Johnson
#*Lupe
#*The Oz
#*Yo
#Most of the title cards look kind of cool, despite the choppy-looking art style to them.
#Some of the character designs are passable such as Lenny, Boog, and Man-Arctica.
#*Speaking of the character designs, despite looking ugly in CGI, they kind of do look cartoony and Looney Tunes-esque.
#There are a handful of good/decent episodes here and there such as:
#*"Fanboy" (the pilot)
#*"Berry Sick"
#*"Night Morning"
#*"Fangboy" (Arguably the best episode of the series)
#*"Stan-Arctica"
#*"Put That Cookie Down!"
#*"GameBoy"
#*"HypnotOZed"
#*"Night Morning"
#*"Norse Code"
#*"Present Not Accounted For"
#*"Saving Private Chum Chum"
#*"Back from the Future"
#*"The Winners"
#*"No Toy Story" (which would have been a good way to start the second season, but disappointingly the producers decided to put "I'm Man-Arctica" as the first part of the second season premiere)
#*"[[Slime Day (Fanboy and Chum Chum)|Slime Day]]"
#*"Heroes vs. Villains"
#*"Super Chums"
#*"There Will Be Shrieks"
#*"A Very Brrr-y Icemas"
#*"[[Brain Freeze (Fanboy and Chum Chum)|Brain Freeze]]" (the series finale, which ended the show on a decent note)
#Season 2 is a slight improvement over season 1 since the main titular protagonists are somewhat more likable (mainly in the second half of the season), the animation receives a more polished look and has a few better episodes. However, these aren't saying a lot, as many flaws remain from Season 1.
#While the voice acting contains a lot of ear-piercing screaming, it can be quite tolerable when it isn't meant to be annoying or weird.
#The show's composer, Brad Breeck, released [https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6n8dpsxe9od9o5l/AAAQyHlH_XIMRRTjUojPKQd_a?dl=0 studio-quality stems] of the show's theme song after he was asked, showing that he appreciates his fans and is actively helping them make parodies of his music.
#The animation is quite redeemable, fluid, and colorful, especially because it came out in 2009; this can be noticeable in the second season.
#Despite the background music sounding distorted and broken, it can sound goofy, funny, enjoyable, and endearing at times.

== Reception ==
<nowiki>''Fanboy & Chum Chum'' was critically panned by the majority of critics and audiences alike. It was criticized for its annoying and unfunny humor and it's mostly lazy visuals. It is considered to be not only one of the worst Nickelodeon shows ever made, but also one of the worst cartoons of all time in general. It sits at a 3.4/10 on IMDb and a 4.9/10 on Rating Graph. The series is often considered the moment that Nickelodeon's decline began and they still haven'</nowiki>t recovered since then (as stated above). However, it seems to have gained a cult following as of now.
==Trivia==
*It was greenlit by Nickelodeon over ''[[Adventure Time]]'', which would air on Cartoon Network because one of the workers found it "too weird".
*It was one of the few Nicktoons to end on its terms on the main channel.
*After nearly three years of being adored, the show was moved to a 7:00 AM slot on weekdays in 2012 – right before the Nick Jr. block in the morning (which usually started at 8:00 or 9:00 AM). Reruns were practically non-existent, as the show would air only on Sundays at 7:00 AM from somewhere around early 2014 to early 2015 before it was banished permanently.
**The series finale ("Brain Freeze") was delayed for two years and was to air on July 12, 2014, but ended up airing a day later on the main Nickelodeon channel.
**On [[Nicktoons (2014-present)|Nicktoons]], the show could be found airing somewhat inconsistently between 4:30 AM and 6:00 AM, along with ''Random! Cartoons'' and ''TUFF Puppy''. These time slots remained until the show entirely ceased to air in March 2016, though it briefly came back to air on Christmas Day in a graveyard slot before being removed for good.
*In separation anxiety, the two main characters' names were revealed. fanboy's real name was Tobias and Chum Chum's real name was Sir Edmund.
*Over the years of its existence, it would later gain a fanbase and cult following, which is wackier than the show itself. The most common places for these fans to appear would be on platforms such as TikTok, Twitter/X, Tumblr, etc. It would also receive some projects from fans, such as fan art and OCs, costumes and cosplays, and memes.
*The entire series was added to Paramount+ on December 15, 2020.<ref>https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/fanboy-and-chum-chum/</ref>
*The creator, Eric Robles, would go on to be the co-creator of ''[[Glitch Techs]].

<center><big><font style="color:yellow">HERE ARE THE RULES!!!</font></big></center>
== Main Rules ==
# The Vandalism isn't allowed here, anyone who does that will be immediately banned.
# Please be respectful towards innocent people, any insulting/threading or falsely accuing them will result a block depending on the weight of that action.
# The spam (constantly sending the same message to the same place) isn't allowed here & will result the same as vandalism.
# NSFW is completely forbidden here, the wiki is also for people who are under 18 even if the owner isn't under that age.
# Only english is allowed on main pages, the exceptions are the user talk pages, comments on user pages and subpages (like blogs).
# Don't ask to block/demote someone for no reason given, if you're not contributing here positively, for the first time you can expect a 3 months block, for the second time a pernament ban.
# Don't commit any crimes like discrimination, doxxing or pedophilia/zoophilia, you'll be immediately banned and reported to the SkyWiki staff if you do that.
#Positive articles about users are allowed here, as they cause little to no drama, but negative articles about users are not allowed on the main pages, as wikis like that (you guessed it) have caused a lot of drama like Unfavorable Wikis and Users Wiki. However, negative pages on blogs are allowed.
=== Pages ===
# This wiki, unlike other wikis like that, doesn't focus mostly on media receptions, it is just for fun and users rather should write the pages like they want.
# The page should have at least few pointers and are understandable and at least few categories.
# No NSFW, offensive nor vulgar content here, the page like that will be immediately moved to the sandbox or in worse case deleted and even might result a block/ban.
=== The Admins ===
# Do not delete the pages just because they're "poorly-written" or "unfinished", if you have a problem with them, just move them to the user's sandbox.
#* The user sandboxes and blogs should be deleted only when they have a offensive or NSFW content.
# If user contributes here positively, don't block him indefinitely for trivial reasons, if you need that, just give to him a warning and as many temporary blocks as it is required unless he did something really serious.
== Punishments ==
If you break one of these rules (if the action is not serious enough for pernament ban):
#Warning
#1 week block
#2 weeks block
#1 month block
#3 months block
#6 months block
#1 year block
#Pernament ban
== Discord ==
Discord will be available soon.

==Usage and example==
Notes: Use the operator <nowiki><br></nowiki> or <nowiki><br/></nowiki> in source mode to add linebreaks within the table. Sections left blank will not be displayed. The title that appears at the top of the infobox will be the same as the name of the page it is on. Note that the picture field requires the extension (.jpg, .jpeg, .png) to be present, and requires that the File: or Image: part of the link ''not'' be present.
Using the following:
<div><pre>
{{CharacterInfobox
|name = Peter Griffin
|Picture = Peter Griffin.png
|Quote = "Remember what I always tell you, if I come home in the middle of the day and catch you having sex with someone, I'll kill you both."
|Gender = Male
|Type =
|Age = 44
|Species = Human
|Portrayed by = Seth MacFarlane

}}

The '''Nintendo 3DS''' is a handheld console developed by [[Nintendo]], and the successor to the [[Nintendo DS]] line. It was released in Japan on February 26, 2011 and released worldwide in May 2011.
== Why It Makes Touching Even Better in 3D ==
#As the console's name suggests, the top screen of the system uses stereoscopic 3D effects without the need for 3D glasses or other accessories. The 3D effects can also be adjusted or turned off completely, effectively solving a major problem that [[Virtual Boy|Nintendo's previous attempt at a 3D console]] had suffered.
#The StreetPass feature allows a 3DS to connect wirelessly to other 3DS devices in the near area for multiplayer gaming and collecting Miis. Some games also use the ability for other functions. An example of this is that the use of StreetPass in ''[[Bravely Default]]'' and ''[[Bravely Second: End Layer]]' collects new villagers to help rebuild Norende or the moon, and also fight Nemeses/bust Ba'al ships.
#It also has augmented reality (AR) features the are used in the built-in 3DS game AR Games and several others as well.
#The SpotPass feature allows the use of hotspots to collect StreetPass tags when not near an area. Sadly, it has been discontinued after the Nintendo Network shut down.
#The 3DS has a pedometer (step counter) built into it. For every 100 steps taken, 1 Play Coin is obtained, which acts as a currency for many 3DS games. Players may obtain ten Play Coins per day, and a maximum of 300 can be held at a time.
#The console has its own Virtual Console, which allowed users to buy older games digitally.
#The introduction of the Circle Pad allows for better 3D movement than the DS, which only had a +Control Pad.
#All models use the same charger, which is the same one used for the DSi and DSi XL.
#All models are also completely backwards-compatible with DS Game Cards and DSiWare games and software.
Early buyers could purchase certain NES and GBA games in the 3DS Ambassador Program, which could be transferred to later revisions.
#Offers YouTube streaming services.
Sadly, the older models shut this service down, so it only works on New models nowadays.
#A large number of good and/or decent first-party games were released, most of which are designed for the 3DS console rather than just being watered-down ports of home console games. These will be listed in their own section.
#There are also a variety of good and/or decent third-party games, which will be listed below.
#There were numerous models, including the 3DS XL, 2DS (which plays 3DS games without 3D in exchange for a lower cost than other models), New 3DS, New 3DS XL and New 2DS XL (which is just like the 2DS, but with a flip screen and New 3DS features).
#The New 3DS models have extra features, such as a second analog stick nub, customizable face plates, a built-in NFC scanner and more powerful hardware than the original, which allowed for newer style games.
#The 3DS also came in many variations, such as '''Hyrule Gold Edition''' and '''The Year of Luigi Edition''', which had a digital copy of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' pre-installed.
#It uses standard or micro SD cards, depending on the system, meaning that their price is lower than the Vita's memory cards.
#The 2DS and New 2DS XL lack 3D mode and are lower-priced, meaning that they are easier to produce and safer for children's eyes. Although the DS is criticized for lacking hinges, it is more durable as well.
#Although not the best, it uses dual-camera technology, something that wasn't popularized until it was used in high-end smartphones in the late 2010's. Back then, however, dual cameras were only used by the 3DS, which ended up being a fad.
== Bad Qualities ==
===Overall===
# The cameras have several issues:
#*Images taken with the New 3DS's inner camera tend to have a strange violet tint in certain lightings.
#*Videos recorded in the 3DS camera (especially the original) suffer from choppy frame rates and low resolution.
#Sadly, the 3DS eShop has been shut down since March 27, 2023, meaning digital-only games are no longer legally obtainable. This page is dedicated to that fact.
#Nintendo focused on the New 3DS models a little too much, basically persuading people to abandon their older models in favor of the newer ones.
#Unfortunately, the plastic used for the casing isn't very good, since it collects a lot of sweat and condensation can occur after playing for a long time.
#Unlike most Nintendo handhelds, this console has region-locking, while its competitor, the Vita, has no such issue. You can play DS games of any region, however.
#You can only have up to 300 digital titles simultaneously on the same console. On top of that, only 30 save backups can be stored on any SD card at a time, meaning you'll need to sacrifice your save data if you have more than 30 games and you delete one.
#Some people may suffer headaches and eye strain from overuse of the 3D mode (the manual does warn about this, however), so you have to use Parental Controls to turn off the 3D switch, especially for children 6 and under. Fortunately, the New 3DS/2DS looks less blurry and sharper.
#Unless you live in a high-population area, such as Japan, the StreetPass feature barely works properly.
#Many games that released late in the 3DS's lifespan don't play in 3D and didn't sell as well due to the Switch being out for two years since then.
#Despite being backwards compatible with DS games, none of the 3DS models have a GBA cartridge slot, meaning that, like the DSi and DSi XL, they are not compatible with GBA games. The only way you could get GBA games (of which there are around 10) was if you bought a 3DS before the price drop.
#PictoChat, a feature that was big on the DS family, is not available on the 3DS. However, the system does have two equivalents known as SwapNote and SwapDoodle.
#As of April 2024, online play has been discontinued, meaning it's now almost impossible to play multiplayer unless played locally.
===Nintendo 3DS===
#The battery life leaves something to be desired, lasting around 4-6 hours, although you can get 6-8 hours when playing DS games.
#It doesn't have a very good Circle Pad, and the rubber used on it can easily break off if you play roughly with it.
#It launched at a relatively high price. Fortunately, it got a price drop months later and people who bought the system prior to this received 10 free NES and GBA games each.
===Nintendo 3DS XL===
#Just like the DS Lite, the hinge connecting the screens can get loose and eventually break.
#The speakers are of a much lower sound quality than most other 3DS models.
#This model can take a while to turn on/off.
===Nintendo 2DS===
#Although it is cheaper and has the 3D feature removed, there are still some extra charges and downsides to it:
#*It loses the stereo sound to the $129.99 price tag, which can bother some people; however, it does support stereo sound through a headphone jack, similar to the Game Boy.
#*It lacks the clamshell design that the DS and 3DS families are well-known for, so you can't put it in your pocket.
#*It's more vulnerable to screen-cracking, which is especially problematic, given that this system was aimed at children.
#*Games such as Super Mario 3D Land may be harder since some of the optical-illusion puzzles utilized the 3D mode.
===New 3DS/New 3DS XL===
#Sadly, they weren't very successful sales-wise (especially the original model), selling less units than even the Wii U, due to Nintendo trying too hard to push the New models.
#It doesn't come with a charger (except for the New 2DS XL), meaning you will need to buy or already have a charger.
#For some strange reason, the SD card slot is located where the battery is, meaning that you'll have to unscrew the plastic cover to replace the SD card, which can be quite a chore.
#The ZL and ZR buttons can be hard to reach.
#The standard model wasn't available at launch and was only released in special bundles in North America.
#The XL model doesn't have swappable face plates.
#The C-stick's placement is very odd and it requires jamming your thumb into it to use it.
#Same issues as the original 3DS and 3DS XL.
===New 2DS XL===
#Like the original 2DS, it loses stereo sound. It also has the speaker in the bottom right corner, making it easy to obstruct with your hand.
#*As if the speaker placement isn't bad enough, both the front and back cameras are on the bottom screen rather than the top screen. While the front camera's placement is fine, the back camera might get covered by your fingers sometimes.
#Due to the refined design, it can be mistaken for a DSi.
#Same issues as the New 3DS and New 3DS XL.
#The edges of this model are really sharp and can be uncomfortable for you palms when playing for a relatively long session.

The '''Nintendo 3DS''' is a handheld console developed by [[Nintendo]], and the successor to the [[Nintendo DS]] line. It was released in Japan on February 26, 2011 and released worldwide in May 2011.
== Why It Makes Touching Even Better in 3D ==
#As the console's name suggests, the top screen of the system uses stereoscopic 3D effects without the need for 3D glasses or other accessories. The 3D effects can also be adjusted or turned off completely, effectively solving a major problem that [[Virtual Boy|Nintendo's previous attempt at a 3D console]] had suffered.
#The StreetPass feature allows a 3DS to connect wirelessly to other 3DS devices in the near area for multiplayer gaming and collecting Miis. Some games also use the ability for other functions. An example of this is that the use of StreetPass in ''[[Bravely Default]]'' and ''[[Bravely Second: End Layer]]' collects new villagers to help rebuild Norende or the moon, and also fight Nemeses/bust Ba'al ships.
#It also has augmented reality (AR) features the are used in the built-in 3DS game AR Games and several others as well.
#The SpotPass feature allows the use of hotspots to collect StreetPass tags when not near an area. Sadly, it has been discontinued after the Nintendo Network shut down.
#The 3DS has a pedometer (step counter) built into it. For every 100 steps taken, 1 Play Coin is obtained, which acts as a currency for many 3DS games. Players may obtain ten Play Coins per day, and a maximum of 300 can be held at a time.
#The console has its own Virtual Console, which allowed users to buy older games digitally.
#The introduction of the Circle Pad allows for better 3D movement than the DS, which only had a +Control Pad.
#All models use the same charger, which is the same one used for the DSi and DSi XL.
#All models are also completely backwards-compatible with DS Game Cards and DSiWare games and software.
Early buyers could purchase certain NES and GBA games in the 3DS Ambassador Program, which could be transferred to later revisions.
#Offers YouTube streaming services.
Sadly, the older models shut this service down, so it only works on New models nowadays.
#A large number of good and/or decent first-party games were released, most of which are designed for the 3DS console rather than just being watered-down ports of home console games. These will be listed in their own section.
#There are also a variety of good and/or decent third-party games, which will be listed below.
#There were numerous models, including the 3DS XL, 2DS (which plays 3DS games without 3D in exchange for a lower cost than other models), New 3DS, New 3DS XL and New 2DS XL (which is just like the 2DS, but with a flip screen and New 3DS features).
#The New 3DS models have extra features, such as a second analog stick nub, customizable face plates, a built-in NFC scanner and more powerful hardware than the original, which allowed for newer style games.
#The 3DS also came in many variations, such as '''Hyrule Gold Edition''' and '''The Year of Luigi Edition''', which had a digital copy of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' pre-installed.
#It uses standard or micro SD cards, depending on the system, meaning that their price is lower than the Vita's memory cards.
#The 2DS and New 2DS XL lack 3D mode and are lower-priced, meaning that they are easier to produce and safer for children's eyes. Although the DS is criticized for lacking hinges, it is more durable as well.
#Although not the best, it uses dual-camera technology, something that wasn't popularized until it was used in high-end smartphones in the late 2010's. Back then, however, dual cameras were only used by the 3DS, which ended up being a fad.
== Bad Qualities ==
===Overall===
# The cameras have several issues:
#*Images taken with the New 3DS's inner camera tend to have a strange violet tint in certain lightings.
#*Videos recorded in the 3DS camera (especially the original) suffer from choppy frame rates and low resolution.
#Sadly, the 3DS eShop has been shut down since March 27, 2023, meaning digital-only games are no longer legally obtainable. This page is dedicated to that fact.
#Nintendo focused on the New 3DS models a little too much, basically persuading people to abandon their older models in favor of the newer ones.
#Unfortunately, the plastic used for the casing isn't very good, since it collects a lot of sweat and condensation can occur after playing for a long time.
#Unlike most Nintendo handhelds, this console has region-locking, while its competitor, the Vita, has no such issue. You can play DS games of any region, however.
#You can only have up to 300 digital titles simultaneously on the same console. On top of that, only 30 save backups can be stored on any SD card at a time, meaning you'll need to sacrifice your save data if you have more than 30 games and you delete one.
#Some people may suffer headaches and eye strain from overuse of the 3D mode (the manual does warn about this, however), so you have to use Parental Controls to turn off the 3D switch, especially for children 6 and under. Fortunately, the New 3DS/2DS looks less blurry and sharper.
#Unless you live in a high-population area, such as Japan, the StreetPass feature barely works properly.
#Many games that released late in the 3DS's lifespan don't play in 3D and didn't sell as well due to the Switch being out for two years since then.
#Despite being backwards compatible with DS games, none of the 3DS models have a GBA cartridge slot, meaning that, like the DSi and DSi XL, they are not compatible with GBA games. The only way you could get GBA games (of which there are around 10) was if you bought a 3DS before the price drop.
#PictoChat, a feature that was big on the DS family, is not available on the 3DS. However, the system does have two equivalents known as SwapNote and SwapDoodle.
#As of April 2024, online play has been discontinued, meaning it's now almost impossible to play multiplayer unless played locally.
===Nintendo 3DS===
#The battery life leaves something to be desired, lasting around 4-6 hours, although you can get 6-8 hours when playing DS games.
#It doesn't have a very good Circle Pad, and the rubber used on it can easily break off if you play roughly with it.
#It launched at a relatively high price. Fortunately, it got a price drop months later and people who bought the system prior to this received 10 free NES and GBA games each.
===Nintendo 3DS XL===
#Just like the DS Lite, the hinge connecting the screens can get loose and eventually break.
#The speakers are of a much lower sound quality than most other 3DS models.
#This model can take a while to turn on/off.
===Nintendo 2DS===
#Although it is cheaper and has the 3D feature removed, there are still some extra charges and downsides to it:
#*It loses the stereo sound to the $129.99 price tag, which can bother some people; however, it does support stereo sound through a headphone jack, similar to the Game Boy.
#*It lacks the clamshell design that the DS and 3DS families are well-known for, so you can't put it in your pocket.
#*It's more vulnerable to screen-cracking, which is especially problematic, given that this system was aimed at children.
#*Games such as Super Mario 3D Land may be harder since some of the optical-illusion puzzles utilized the 3D mode.
===New 3DS/New 3DS XL===
#Sadly, they weren't very successful sales-wise (especially the original model), selling less units than even the Wii U, due to Nintendo trying too hard to push the New models.
#It doesn't come with a charger (except for the New 2DS XL), meaning you will need to buy or already have a charger.
#For some strange reason, the SD card slot is located where the battery is, meaning that you'll have to unscrew the plastic cover to replace the SD card, which can be quite a chore.
#The ZL and ZR buttons can be hard to reach.
#The standard model wasn't available at launch and was only released in special bundles in North America.
#The XL model doesn't have swappable face plates.
#The C-stick's placement is very odd and it requires jamming your thumb into it to use it.
#Same issues as the original 3DS and 3DS XL.

The '''Nintendo 3DS''' is a handheld console developed by [[Nintendo]], and the successor to the [[Nintendo DS]] line. It was released in Japan on February 26, 2011 and released worldwide in May 2011.
== Why It Makes Touching Even Better in 3D ==
#As the console's name suggests, the top screen of the system uses stereoscopic 3D effects without the need for 3D glasses or other accessories. The 3D effects can also be adjusted or turned off completely, effectively solving a major problem that [[Virtual Boy|Nintendo's previous attempt at a 3D console]] had suffered.
#The StreetPass feature allows a 3DS to connect wirelessly to other 3DS devices in the near area for multiplayer gaming and collecting Miis. Some games also use the ability for other functions. An example of this is that the use of StreetPass in ''[[Bravely Default]]'' and ''[[Bravely Second: End Layer]]' collects new villagers to help rebuild Norende or the moon, and also fight Nemeses/bust Ba'al ships.
#It also has augmented reality (AR) features the are used in the built-in 3DS game AR Games and several others as well.
#The SpotPass feature allows the use of hotspots to collect StreetPass tags when not near an area. Sadly, it has been discontinued after the Nintendo Network shut down.
#The 3DS has a pedometer (step counter) built into it. For every 100 steps taken, 1 Play Coin is obtained, which acts as a currency for many 3DS games. Players may obtain ten Play Coins per day, and a maximum of 300 can be held at a time.
#The console has its own Virtual Console, which allowed users to buy older games digitally.
#The introduction of the Circle Pad allows for better 3D movement than the DS, which only had a +Control Pad.
#All models use the same charger, which is the same one used for the DSi and DSi XL.
#All models are also completely backwards-compatible with DS Game Cards and DSiWare games and software.
Early buyers could purchase certain NES and GBA games in the 3DS Ambassador Program, which could be transferred to later revisions.
#Offers YouTube streaming services.
Sadly, the older models shut this service down, so it only works on New models nowadays.
#A large number of good and/or decent first-party games were released, most of which are designed for the 3DS console rather than just being watered-down ports of home console games. These will be listed in their own section.
#There are also a variety of good and/or decent third-party games, which will be listed below.
#There were numerous models, including the 3DS XL, 2DS (which plays 3DS games without 3D in exchange for a lower cost than other models), New 3DS, New 3DS XL and New 2DS XL (which is just like the 2DS, but with a flip screen and New 3DS features).
#The New 3DS models have extra features, such as a second analog stick nub, customizable face plates, a built-in NFC scanner and more powerful hardware than the original, which allowed for newer style games.
#The 3DS also came in many variations, such as '''Hyrule Gold Edition''' and '''The Year of Luigi Edition''', which had a digital copy of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' pre-installed.
#It uses standard or micro SD cards, depending on the system, meaning that their price is lower than the Vita's memory cards.
#The 2DS and New 2DS XL lack 3D mode and are lower-priced, meaning that they are easier to produce and safer for children's eyes. Although the DS is criticized for lacking hinges, it is more durable as well.
#Although not the best, it uses dual-camera technology, something that wasn't popularized until it was used in high-end smartphones in the late 2010's. Back then, however, dual cameras were only used by the 3DS, which ended up being a fad.
== Bad Qualities ==
===Overall===
# The cameras have several issues:
#*Images taken with the New 3DS's inner camera tend to have a strange violet tint in certain lightings.
#*Videos recorded in the 3DS camera (especially the original) suffer from choppy frame rates and low resolution.
#Sadly, the 3DS eShop has been shut down since March 27, 2023, meaning digital-only games are no longer legally obtainable. This page is dedicated to that fact.
#Nintendo focused on the New 3DS models a little too much, basically persuading people to abandon their older models in favor of the newer ones.
#Unfortunately, the plastic used for the casing isn't very good, since it collects a lot of sweat and condensation can occur after playing for a long time.
#Unlike most Nintendo handhelds, this console has region-locking, while its competitor, the Vita, has no such issue. You can play DS games of any region, however.
#You can only have up to 300 digital titles simultaneously on the same console. On top of that, only 30 save backups can be stored on any SD card at a time, meaning you'll need to sacrifice your save data if you have more than 30 games and you delete one.
#Some people may suffer headaches and eye strain from overuse of the 3D mode (the manual does warn about this, however), so you have to use Parental Controls to turn off the 3D switch, especially for children 6 and under. Fortunately, the New 3DS/2DS looks less blurry and sharper.
#Unless you live in a high-population area, such as Japan, the StreetPass feature barely works properly.
#Many games that released late in the 3DS's lifespan don't play in 3D and didn't sell as well due to the Switch being out for two years since then.
#Despite being backwards compatible with DS games, none of the 3DS models have a GBA cartridge slot, meaning that, like the DSi and DSi XL, they are not compatible with GBA games. The only way you could get GBA games (of which there are around 10) was if you bought a 3DS before the price drop.
#PictoChat, a feature that was big on the DS family, is not available on the 3DS. However, the system does have two equivalents known as SwapNote and SwapDoodle.
#As of April 2024, online play has been discontinued, meaning it's now almost impossible to play multiplayer unless played locally.
===Nintendo 3DS===
#The battery life leaves something to be desired, lasting around 4-6 hours, although you can get 6-8 hours when playing DS games.
#It doesn't have a very good Circle Pad, and the rubber used on it can easily break off if you play roughly with it.
#It launched at a relatively high price. Fortunately, it got a price drop months later and people who bought the system prior to this received 10 free NES and GBA games each.
===Nintendo 3DS XL===
#Just like the DS Lite, the hinge connecting the screens can get loose and eventually break.
#The speakers are of a much lower sound quality than most other 3DS models.
#This model can take a while to turn on/off.
===Nintendo 2DS===
#Although it is cheaper and has the 3D feature removed, there are still some extra charges and downsides to it:
#*It loses the stereo sound to the $129.99 price tag, which can bother some people; however, it does support stereo sound through a headphone jack, similar to the Game Boy.
#*It lacks the clamshell design that the DS and 3DS families are well-known for, so you can't put it in your pocket.
#*It's more vulnerable to screen-cracking, which is especially problematic, given that this system was aimed at children.
#*Games such as Super Mario 3D Land may be harder since some of the optical-illusion puzzles utilized the 3D mode.
===New 3DS/New 3DS XL===
#Sadly, they weren't very successful sales-wise (especially the original model), selling less units than even the Wii U, due to Nintendo trying too hard to push the New models.
#It doesn't come with a charger (except for the New 2DS XL), meaning you will need to buy or already have a charger.
#For some strange reason, the SD card slot is located where the battery is, meaning that you'll have to unscrew the plastic cover to replace the SD card, which can be quite a chore.
#The ZL and ZR buttons can be hard to reach.
#The standard model wasn't available at launch and was only released in special bundles in North America.
#The XL model doesn't have swappable face plates.
#The C-stick's placement is very odd and it requires jamming your thumb into it to use it.
#Same issues as the original 3DS and 3DS XL.
===New 2DS XL===
#Like the original 2DS, it loses stereo sound. It also has the speaker in the bottom right corner, making it easy to obstruct with your hand.
#*As if the speaker placement isn't bad enough, both the front and back cameras are on the bottom screen rather than the top screen. While the front camera's placement is fine, the back camera might get covered by your fingers sometimes.
#Due to the refined design, it can be mistaken for a DSi.
#Same issues as the New 3DS and New 3DS XL.
#The edges of this model are really sharp and can be uncomfortable for you palms when playing for a relatively long session.
== Reception ==
All models of the Nintendo 3DS received largely positive reviews, with many deeming it a worthy successor to the DS family. While the New 3DS models underperformed sales-wise, the console overall sold over 75 million units.

The '''Nintendo 3DS''' is a handheld console developed by [[Nintendo]], and the successor to the [[Nintendo DS]] line. It was released in Japan on February 26, 2011 and released worldwide in May 2011.
== Why It Makes Touching Even Better in 3D ==
#As the console's name suggests, the top screen of the system uses stereoscopic 3D effects without the need for 3D glasses or other accessories. The 3D effects can also be adjusted or turned off completely, effectively solving a major problem that [[Virtual Boy|Nintendo's previous attempt at a 3D console]] had suffered.
#The StreetPass feature allows a 3DS to connect wirelessly to other 3DS devices in the near area for multiplayer gaming and collecting Miis. Some games also use the ability for other functions. An example of this is that the use of StreetPass in ''[[Bravely Default]]'' and ''[[Bravely Second: End Layer]]' collects new villagers to help rebuild Norende or the moon, and also fight Nemeses/bust Ba'al ships.
#It also has augmented reality (AR) features the are used in the built-in 3DS game AR Games and several others as well.
#The SpotPass feature allows the use of hotspots to collect StreetPass tags when not near an area. Sadly, it has been discontinued after the Nintendo Network shut down.
#The 3DS has a pedometer (step counter) built into it. For every 100 steps taken, 1 Play Coin is obtained, which acts as a currency for many 3DS games. Players may obtain ten Play Coins per day, and a maximum of 300 can be held at a time.
#The console has its own Virtual Console, which allowed users to buy older games digitally.
#The introduction of the Circle Pad allows for better 3D movement than the DS, which only had a +Control Pad.
#All models use the same charger, which is the same one used for the DSi and DSi XL.
#All models are also completely backwards-compatible with DS Game Cards and DSiWare games and software.
Early buyers could purchase certain NES and GBA games in the 3DS Ambassador Program, which could be transferred to later revisions.
#Offers YouTube streaming services.
Sadly, the older models shut this service down, so it only works on New models nowadays.
#A large number of good and/or decent first-party games were released, most of which are designed for the 3DS console rather than just being watered-down ports of home console games. These will be listed in their own section.
#There are also a variety of good and/or decent third-party games, which will be listed below.
#There were numerous models, including the 3DS XL, 2DS (which plays 3DS games without 3D in exchange for a lower cost than other models), New 3DS, New 3DS XL and New 2DS XL (which is just like the 2DS, but with a flip screen and New 3DS features).
#The New 3DS models have extra features, such as a second analog stick nub, customizable face plates, a built-in NFC scanner and more powerful hardware than the original, which allowed for newer style games.
#The 3DS also came in many variations, such as '''Hyrule Gold Edition''' and '''The Year of Luigi Edition''', which had a digital copy of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' pre-installed.
#It uses standard or micro SD cards, depending on the system, meaning that their price is lower than the Vita's memory cards.
#The 2DS and New 2DS XL lack 3D mode and are lower-priced, meaning that they are easier to produce and safer for children's eyes. Although the DS is criticized for lacking hinges, it is more durable as well.
#Although not the best, it uses dual-camera technology, something that wasn't popularized until it was used in high-end smartphones in the late 2010's. Back then, however, dual cameras were only used by the 3DS, which ended up being a fad.
== Bad Qualities ==
===Overall===
# The cameras have several issues:
#*Images taken with the New 3DS's inner camera tend to have a strange violet tint in certain lightings.
#*Videos recorded in the 3DS camera (especially the original) suffer from choppy frame rates and low resolution.
#Sadly, the 3DS eShop has been shut down since March 27, 2023, meaning digital-only games are no longer legally obtainable. This page is dedicated to that fact.
#Nintendo focused on the New 3DS models a little too much, basically persuading people to abandon their older models in favor of the newer ones.
#Unfortunately, the plastic used for the casing isn't very good, since it collects a lot of sweat and condensation can occur after playing for a long time.
#Unlike most Nintendo handhelds, this console has region-locking, while its competitor, the Vita, has no such issue. You can play DS games of any region, however.
#You can only have up to 300 digital titles simultaneously on the same console. On top of that, only 30 save backups can be stored on any SD card at a time, meaning you'll need to sacrifice your save data if you have more than 30 games and you delete one.
#Some people may suffer headaches and eye strain from overuse of the 3D mode (the manual does warn about this, however), so you have to use Parental Controls to turn off the 3D switch, especially for children 6 and under. Fortunately, the New 3DS/2DS looks less blurry and sharper.
#Unless you live in a high-population area, such as Japan, the StreetPass feature barely works properly.
#Many games that released late in the 3DS's lifespan don't play in 3D and didn't sell as well due to the Switch being out for two years since then.
#Despite being backwards compatible with DS games, none of the 3DS models have a GBA cartridge slot, meaning that, like the DSi and DSi XL, they are not compatible with GBA games. The only way you could get GBA games (of which there are around 10) was if you bought a 3DS before the price drop.
#PictoChat, a feature that was big on the DS family, is not available on the 3DS. However, the system does have two equivalents known as SwapNote and SwapDoodle.
#As of April 2024, online play has been discontinued, meaning it's now almost impossible to play multiplayer unless played locally.
===Nintendo 3DS===
#The battery life leaves something to be desired, lasting around 4-6 hours, although you can get 6-8 hours when playing DS games.
#It doesn't have a very good Circle Pad, and the rubber used on it can easily break off if you play roughly with it.
#It launched at a relatively high price. Fortunately, it got a price drop months later and people who bought the system prior to this received 10 free NES and GBA games each.
===Nintendo 3DS XL===
#Just like the DS Lite, the hinge connecting the screens can get loose and eventually break.
#The speakers are of a much lower sound quality than most other 3DS models.
#This model can take a while to turn on/off.
===Nintendo 2DS===
#Although it is cheaper and has the 3D feature removed, there are still some extra charges and downsides to it:
#*It loses the stereo sound to the $129.99 price tag, which can bother some people; however, it does support stereo sound through a headphone jack, similar to the Game Boy.
#*It lacks the clamshell design that the DS and 3DS families are well-known for, so you can't put it in your pocket.
#*It's more vulnerable to screen-cracking, which is especially problematic, given that this system was aimed at children.
#*Games such as Super Mario 3D Land may be harder since some of the optical-illusion puzzles utilized the 3D mode.
===New 3DS/New 3DS XL===
#Sadly, they weren't very successful sales-wise (especially the original model), selling less units than even the Wii U, due to Nintendo trying too hard to push the New models.
#It doesn't come with a charger (except for the New 2DS XL), meaning you will need to buy or already have a charger.
#For some strange reason, the SD card slot is located where the battery is, meaning that you'll have to unscrew the plastic cover to replace the SD card, which can be quite a chore.
#The ZL and ZR buttons can be hard to reach.
#The standard model wasn't available at launch and was only released in special bundles in North America.
#The XL model doesn't have swappable face plates.
#The C-stick's placement is very odd and it requires jamming your thumb into it to use it.
#Same issues as the original 3DS and 3DS XL.
===New 2DS XL===
#Like the original 2DS, it loses stereo sound. It also has the speaker in the bottom right corner, making it easy to obstruct with your hand.
#*As if the speaker placement isn't bad enough, both the front and back cameras are on the bottom screen rather than the top screen. While the front camera's placement is fine, the back camera might get covered by your fingers sometimes.
#Due to the refined design, it can be mistaken for a DSi.
#Same issues as the New 3DS and New 3DS XL.
#The edges of this model are really sharp and can be uncomfortable for you palms when playing for a relatively long session.
== Reception ==
All models of the Nintendo 3DS received largely positive reviews, with many deeming it a worthy successor to the DS family. While the New 3DS models underperformed sales-wise, the console overall sold over 75 million units.

The '''Nintendo DS''' (called '''DS''' or '''NDS''' for short) is a handheld gaming console developed by [[Nintendo]], it is the first of the DS series of Nintendo handhelds, succeeding the [[Game Boy Advance]] and was succeeded by the [[Nintendo 3DS]] in early 2011 and was discontinued in late 2014. It competed with the [[PlayStation Portable]] throughout its lifetime. It is the best-selling handheld console, best-selling Nintendo console, best-selling console of the seventh generation and the second best-selling console of all time, only behind the [[PlayStation 2]].
== Why It Makes Touching Good ==
# The system has two screens which are used simultaneously during gameplay, while it may sound awkward having to track two screens at once, it works very well as most games in the system take good advantage of it.
# The bottom screen is a touchscreen which offers the possibility of more interactivity in games.
# It is the first handheld that can consistently do full 3D games. While the [[Game Boy Advance]] could do 3D graphics, they’d cause some issues with the framerate, and they would be pretty rare to find.
# Over 2,000 games to choose from.
# Lots of good games from [[Nintendo]] were made, including:
#*''[[Super Mario 64|Super Mario 64 DS]]''
#* ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''
#* ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass]]''
#* ''[[Metroid Prime Hunters]]''
#* The fourth and fifth generation of the [[:Category:Pokémon Games|''Pokémon'' series]].
#* ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''
#* ''[[Mario Party DS]]''
#* ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3''
#*''The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks''
#*''Yoshi's Island DS''
#*''Clubhouse Games''
#*''Rhythm Heaven''
#*''Kirby Super Star Ultra''
#*''Kirby: Squeak Squad''
#*''Wario: Master of Disguise''
#*''WarioWare: Touched''
#*''WarioWare DIY''
#*''Kirby: Canvas Curse''
#*''Meteos''
#*''Electroplankton''
#*''[[Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games]]''
#*''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: Mini's March Again''
#*''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem''
#*''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''
#*''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''
#*''Donkey Kong: Jungle Climber''
#*''Chibi-Robo: Park Patrol''
# It was the first handheld to introduce a Wi-Fi service, making it possible to play online.
# The first two models had backwards compatibility with [[Game Boy Advance]] games. Some DS games took advantage of the GBA port for bonus features, such as the first ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon'' games.
# The DSi model had a front facing camera, and was able to connect to the DSi Shop and offered digital games. Most of these games can be transferred to the 3DS as of 2011, with the exception of Flipnote Studio, the Nintendo DSi Browser, and pre-installed games found on the DSi XL.
# A DS can connect wirelessly to another DS nearby to not only play games, but also temporarily download demos and videos.
# It has a small microphone used for some games and features.
#Tons of great third-party games were released, including;
#*''[[Sonic Rush]]''
#*''[[Sonic Rush Adventure]]''
#*The original ''Ace Attorney'' trilogy
#*''[[Naruto: Ninja Council 3]]''
#*''Naruto Shippuden: Ninja Council 4''
#*''[[Naruto Shippuden: Naruto vs Sasuke]]''
#*''Ben 10: Protector of Earth''
#*''[[Ben 10: Alien Force (Nintendo DS)|Ben 10: Alien Force]]''
#*''[[Ben 10 Alien Force: Vilgax Attacks]]''
#*''[[Ben 10 Ultimate Alien: Cosmic Destruction]]''
#*''Ben 10 Galactic Racing''
#*''Ben 10 Omniverse''
#*''Lost Magic''
#*''Touch Detective''
#*''Bangai-O Spirits''
#*''Dragon Ball Kai: Ultimate Butōden''
#*''Dragon Ball Origins''
#*''Dragon Ball Origins 2''
#*''Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing''
#*''[[Sonic Colors]]''
# Every model has an extremely good battery life compared to [[PlayStation Portable|its competitor]]. The Lite model has up to 19 hours of battery life.
# A major feature called Download Play allowed other DS users to do some multiplayer gaming with only one game card, provided that they were within range.
#Every Nintendo DSi XL came with several DSiWare for free, which are different depending on your region of residence. This includes all the ''Brain Age Express Games'' and ''Photo Clock'' in North America and Japan, ''Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training Arts Edition'' and ''6 in 1 Dictionary'' in Europe, and ''Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training Arts Edition'', ''Clubhouse Games Express: Card Classics'', and ''Photo Clock'' in Oceania.
# Like the [[Game Boy]], [[Game Boy Color]], and Game Boy Advance, physical DS games are region-free.
#The NDS contains PictoChat, which is like a local-wireless communication texting feature with drawing capabilities. It was big back in the day, and although everyone's moved on to cell phones, it's still beloved by nostalgic people.
== Bad Qualities ==
=== Overall ===
# You '''''need''''' a stylus to use the touchscreen since it doesn't react well to your fingers and because it uses a resistive touchscreen, unlike with smartphones and tablets, both of which used capacitive multi-touch and later became popular a few years later in the late 2000's decade, or even in 2010s (specifically in 2007 with the first iPhone).
# The console only has a D-Pad, which makes precise movement in 3D games harder.
# Like the [[Wii|Wii]] with its motion controls, the Nintendo DS's focus on the touchscreen and lower hardware specs made it a very easy target for [[Shovelware|shovelware]], especially from Destination Software.
# The Nintendo DS's Wi-Fi support along with the Wii's was discontinued when GameSpy shut down their servers on May 20, 2014, so the only way to play multiplayer nowadays is either locally or using Wiimmfi.
# While the original and Lite models are backwards compatible with GBA games, they don't support multiplayer and, like the [[Game Boy Micro]], also can't play games made for the original Game Boy and Game Boy Color due to lack of the hardware that these 2 consoles used.
# The sound quality in games can be pretty annoying to hear as some of the music and sound effects come out heavily compressed and end up being louder than expected. It could also reach the point of even being '''ear bleeding''' (case in point, the final DS game, ''[[Big Hero 6: Battle in the Bay]]'', where the music quality in this port of the game is so bad it would hurt your ears).
# You can't insert a GBA cartridge when your DS is on.
=== Original ===
# The large size of the system makes it rather bulky.
# The power button is located slightly above the D-Pad, making it easy to accidentally to turn on/off the system if your thumb slips off the D-Pad.
# The screen has a very low brightness that can make it very hard to see near the light. Although its screen isn't as dark as the original GBA or the AGS-001 version of the SP. The DS Lite and later handhelds have fixed this issue.
# The stylus is very small. The later models make the size bigger.
=== DS Lite ===
# It isn't as durable as past Nintendo systems. Similar to the 3DS XL, over time, the hinge will get loose and eventually break.
# GBA cartridges partially stick out of the slot, although this is to save space since GBA catridges only uses half of the whole catridge.
=== DSi ===
# The L and R buttons give out so often it's actually surprising.
# It removed the GBA game slot, which was not only used for playing GBA games, but also for some other accessories such as the Rumble Pak and DS games like ''Guitar Hero''.
# Licenses for downloadable games are bought for the system rather than an account, meaning that you would need to buy all the games again if the console broke.
# Data from the standard-sized model can't be transferred to the XL model, and vice versa.
# Most of the online services, such as the DSi Shop, have been discontinued since 2017.
# Some games, like the original Flipnote Studio, and pre-installed games cannot be sent over to the Nintendo 3DS.
=== DSi XL ===
# It has the same problems as the original DSi (see above).
== Reception ==
Selling over 154 million units, the Nintendo DS is the second best-selling game system of all time behind the [[PlayStation 2]]. It's also Nintendo's best-selling video game console to date as well as the best-selling handheld. Of the four models, the DS Lite sold the most with over 93 million of the 154 million units.
== Trivia ==
# Contrary to popular belief, the Nintendo DS was not the first game console to use a touchscreen with a stylus; the heavily panned [[Game.com]] was.
# The reason that it is called the DS is the fact that it uses two screens ('''D'''ual '''S'''creen). For developers of the system, it is also sometimes referred to as the '''D'''evelopers' '''S'''ystem.
# A Nintendo DS was taken to [[:w:Mt. Everest|Mt. Everest]] during an expedition. Various electronic equipment, including a Dell laptop, broke down from the intense cold. However, the DS remained fully functional after the trip, showing the system is extremely durable.
#It is currently one of the only two systems (excluding systems prior to the [[Nintendo 64]]), along with the [[Game Boy Advance]], to not have a ''Smash Bros.'' game.

<center><big><font style="color:yellow">HERE ARE THE RULES!!!</font></big></center>
== Main Rules ==
# The Vandalism isn't allowed here, anyone who does that will be immediately banned.
# Please be respectful towards innocent people, any insulting/threading or falsely accuing them will result a block depending on the weight of that action.
# The spam (constantly sending the same message to the same place) isn't allowed here & will result the same as vandalism.
# NSFW is completely forbidden here, the wiki is also for people who are under 18 even if the owner isn't under that age.
# Only english is allowed on main pages, the exceptions are the user talk pages, comments on user pages and subpages (like blogs).
# Don't ask to block/demote someone for no reason given, if you're not contributing here positively, for the first time you can expect a 3 months block, for the second time a pernament ban.
# Don't commit any crimes like discrimination, doxxing or pedophilia/zoophilia, you'll be immediately banned and reported to the SkyWiki staff if you do that.
#Positive articles about users are allowed here, as they cause little to no drama, but negative articles about users are not allowed on the main pages, as wikis like that (you guessed it) have caused a lot of drama like Unfavorable Wikis and Users Wiki. However, negative pages on blogs are allowed.
=== Pages ===
# This wiki, unlike other wikis like that, doesn't focus mostly on media receptions, it is just for fun and users rather should write the pages like they want.
# The page should have at least few pointers and are understandable and at least few categories.
# No NSFW, offensive nor vulgar content here, the page like that will be immediately moved to the sandbox or in worse case deleted and even might result a block/ban.
=== The Admins ===
# Do not delete the pages just because they're "poorly-written" or "unfinished", if you have a problem with them, just move them to the user's sandbox.
#* The user sandboxes and blogs should be deleted only when they have a offensive or NSFW content.

|Genetball video game based on the National Basketball Association.
NIGGERS
==Summary==
This game features all 30 teams from the 2004-05 NBA season with licensed rosters. Players can play exhibition games, the NBA All-star Weekend mode, Dynasty mode, 1-on-1 games, and more.
==Why It Rocks==
#It added the NBA All-Star weekend, which had the 3 Point Contest, All-Star game, and more, but we can’t forget this one iconic part, the Dunk Contest, which is one of the biggest reasons this game, along with ''NBA 2K11'' is considered not only to be one of the greatest basketball games of all time, but one of the greatest sports games of all time. The Dunk Contest was fun, it has lots of cool moves like throwing off the screens, cartwheel dunk, 720 dunk, and many more impressive and fun dunks.
#The Dynasty mode is vastly improved into being a great franchise mode, after the ''NBA Live 2004'' version received criticism for being lackluster and not deep enough, EA Sports went to work on the dynasty mode of the next game after ''NBA Live 2004'', and it came out as a very fun, innovative, and deep experience, if you try to submit a trade proposal for a player you want, you have to wait a few days to get a response, trading for star players had much more difficulty and was pretty hard to do, for example, if you wanna trade for LeBron James, you can’t, because the Cleveland GM isn’t stupid enough to do such a thing. The free agency was improved, as players took multiple factors into consideration before signing with a team.
#The gameplay is vastly improved here, it also is realistic in the sense that the players play identical to their real life counterparts. For example, when Kobe Bryant receives the ball, he often tries to create ways to score points for his team as opposed to passing the ball to his teammates to create a shot for them, Ben Wallace often moves into the paint when his team is on defense to attempt a block or guard if a layup or dunk attempt happens, and Ray Allen has a very smooth 3-Point shot.
#*The realism was also improved as well, unlike previous entries where you can dribble past with any player even the ones with the worst ball handling, only players like Allen Iverson can do such a thing.
#The A.I was ahead of it’s time and very smart, instead of mostly just dunking and trying to shoot threes, it instead tries to pass the ball to find the open man, try to shoot off the dribble, and even take shots from mid-range.
#The NBA store was a great feature that was introduced in ''NBA Live 2004'' and it returns here, this was a feature that allowed you to buy classic jerseys, shoes, headbands, and socks.
#The My NBA Live feature, which has the aforementioned NBA store, is a decent equivalent to the crib of the ''NFL 2K'' games, it had a jukebox which allows you to pick what song is playing in the menus and which songs can or cannot play in the menus, NBA codes, and a Hall of Fame that lets you see the jerseys of the players you retired in the Dynasty mode.
#The soundtrack is amazing and instead of licensing songs, they used rappers to make basketball and NBA Live themed songs, and it worked, with songs like "My Main Aim" by MC Lyte, "Me Against You" by G-Unit, and "It’s In Da Game" by Jazze Pha. Although there were still some licensed songs like "Go!" by will.I.am.
#The attention to detail in this game was awesome, with the best dribblers at the time like Allen Iverson only having access to ankle-breaking dribble moves, the All-Star game having a higher rate of scoring, great defensive plays, and the fact in Dynasty mode, it was really hard to trade for the leagues best like LeBron James.
#The graphics were great for 2004 standards.
==Reception==
The game was well-received by fans and critics who praised its incredible gameplay and dynasty mode, and the All-Star Weekend mode. (especially the dunk contest)
However, as time went on, it started getting a reputation for being the best 6th generation basketball game and the best ''NBA Live'' game made.
==Trvia==
*Unlike most sports games, the soundtrack mostly consists of songs made exclusively for the game.

#*The Oz
#*Yo
#Most of the title cards look kind of cool, despite the choppy-looking art style to them.
#Some of the character designs are passable such as Lenny, Boog, and Man-Arctica.
#*Speaking of the character designs, despite looking ugly in CGI, they kind of do look cartoony and Looney Tunes-esque.
#There are a handful of good/decent episodes here and there such as:
#*"Fanboy" (the pilot)
#*"Berry Sick"
#*"Night Morning"
#*"Fangboy" (Arguably the best episode of the series)
#*"Stan-Arctica"
#*"Put That Cookie Down!"
#*"GameBoy"
#*"HypnotOZed"
#*"Night Morning"
#*"Norse Code"
#*"Present Not Accounted For"
#*"Saving Private Chum Chum"
#*"Back from the Future"
#*"The Winners"
#*"No Toy Story" (which would have been a good way to start the second season, but disappointingly the producers decided to put "I'm Man-Arctica" as the first part of the second season premiere)
#*"[[Slime Day (Fanboy and Chum Chum)|Slime Day]]"
#*"Heroes vs. Villains"
#*"Super Chums"
#*"There Will Be Shrieks"
#*"A Very Brrr-y Icemas"
#*"[[Brain Freeze (Fanboy and Chum Chum)|Brain Freeze]]" (the series finale, which ended the show on a decent note)
#Season 2 is a slight improvement over season 1 since the main titular protagonists are somewhat more likable (mainly in the second half of the season), the animation receives a more polished look and has a few better episodes. However, these aren't saying a lot, as many flaws remain from Season 1.
#While the voice acting contains a lot of ear-piercing screaming, it can be quite tolerable when it isn't meant to be annoying or weird.
#The show's composer, Brad Breeck, released [https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6n8dpsxe9od9o5l/AAAQyHlH_XIMRRTjUojPKQd_a?dl=0 studio-quality stems] of the show's theme song after he was asked, showing that he appreciates his fans and is actively helping them make parodies of his music.
#The animation is quite redeemable, fluid, and colorful, especially because it came out in 2009; this can be noticeable in the second season.
#Despite the background music sounding distorted and broken, it can sound goofy, funny, enjoyable, and endearing at times.
==Notable bad episodes from the series==
#"[[Wizboy]]" (which started the series on a sour note)
#"[[The Janitor Strikes Back]]"
#"[[I, Fanbot|I Fanbot]]”
#"[[Fanboy Stinks]]"
#"[[Moppy Dearest]]"

== Reception ==
<nowiki>''Fanboy & Chum Chum'' was critically panned by the majority of critics and audiences alike. It was criticized for its annoying and unfunny humor and it's mostly lazy visuals. It is considered to be not only one of the worst Nickelodeon shows ever made, but also one of the worst cartoons of all time in general. It sits at a 3.4/10 on IMDb and a 4.9/10 on Rating Graph. The series is often considered the moment that Nickelodeon's decline began and they still haven'</nowiki>t recovered since then (as stated above). However, it seems to have gained a cult following as of now.
==Trivia==
*It was greenlit by Nickelodeon over ''[[Adventure Time]]'', which would air on Cartoon Network because one of the workers found it "too weird".
*It was one of the few Nicktoons to end on its terms on the main channel.
*After nearly three years of being adored, the show was moved to a 7:00 AM slot on weekdays in 2012 – right before the Nick Jr. block in the morning (which usually started at 8:00 or 9:00 AM). Reruns were practically non-existent, as the show would air only on Sundays at 7:00 AM from somewhere around early 2014 to early 2015 before it was banished permanently.
**The series finale ("Brain Freeze") was delayed for two years and was to air on July 12, 2014, but ended up airing a day later on the main Nickelodeon channel.
**On [[Nicktoons (2014-present)|Nicktoons]], the show could be found airing somewhat inconsistently between 4:30 AM and 6:00 AM, along with ''Random! Cartoons'' and ''TUFF Puppy''. These time slots remained until the show entirely ceased to air in March 2016, though it briefly came back to air on Christmas Day in a graveyard slot before being removed for good.
*In separation anxiety, the two main characters' names were revealed. fanboy's real name was Tobias and Chum Chum's real name was Sir Edmund.
*Over the years of its existence, it would later gain a fanbase and cult following, which is wackier than the show itself. The most common places for these fans to appear would be on platforms such as TikTok, Twitter/X, Tumblr, etc. It would also receive some projects from fans, such as fan art and OCs, costumes and cosplays, and memes.
*The entire series was added to Paramount+ on December 15, 2020.<ref>https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/fanboy-and-chum-chum/</ref>
*The creator, Eric Robles, would go on to be the co-creator of ''[[Glitch Techs]].

'''''[[:w:Fanboy & Chum Chum|Fanboy & Chum Chum]]''''' is an American CGI animated television series created by Eric Robles for Nickelodeon. It is based on ''Fanboy'', an animated short created by Robles for Nicktoons and Frederator Studios, which was broadcast from August 14, 2009, to October 17, 2012, on ''Random! Cartoons''. The series was first broadcast on October 12, 2009, on Nickelodeon as a preview, then officially premiered on November 6, 2009, after ''[[Truth or Square (SpongeBob SquarePants)|SpongeBob's Truth or Square]]'', and officially ended on July 12, 2014.
==Plot==
Fanboy and Chum Chum are fans of all things science fiction and fantasy and wear wild superhero costumes with their underwear on the outside. Their lives are filled with adventure, from Fanboy's teacher turning into a zombie to an ice monster operating the Frosty Freezy Freeze machine. Their pal Kyle usually tags along on their escapades. Kyle is a real wizard, but Fanboy and Chum Chum are oblivious to his mystical powers, although they live in a world of fantasy.
==Why It Gives You a Brain Freeze==
#The show can easily be seen as a rehash of ''SpongeBob SquarePants'', as Fanboy, Chum Chum, and Kyle are literal clones of SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward, respectively (though Kyle is likable).
#The art style, despite being original, Looney Tunes-esque, and also Veggietales-esque, has its problems:
#*The character designs are quite ugly and unnatural, thus, they also don't translate well in 3D. Notably, the eyes look like they're bulging out of the characters' skulls, the hands of some of the characters are too big, the ears make them look like monkeys, and some of their foreheads are too big (with Kyle and Sigmund being perfect examples), and the faces look uncanny and unnatural. Also, they look like characters rejected by ''[[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius]]'' at best.
#*The backgrounds are a bit of an eyesore, due to the colors being too bright and them looking weird.
#While the animation is very nice and fluid, especially for the time it came out, several animation errors can be noticed throughout several episodes. This can be noticeable in the first season.
#It can be inappropriate at times, like ''[[Breadwinners]]'' and ''[[Sanjay and Craig]]'':
#*It overuses [[Toilet/Gross-Out Humor|toilet/gross-out humor]], especially in the episodes "Pick a Nose" and "Fanboy Stinks". Examples:
#**Fanboy sneezing into his surgical mask when he is disguised as a nurse.
#**Chum Chum has a foot with a bad odor rubbed on his face, which disgusts Fanboy.
#**Kyle attempts to pull Fanboy's finger and Fanboy flatulates on him when he refuses.
#**Fanboy and Chum Chum hiding in a waste container.
#**Mr. Mufflin's feet with a bad odor.
#**Boog saying that he likes to defecate in his diaper.
#**Fanboy getting his head stuck in a toilet.
#**A bunch of girls being attracted to Fanboy's odor in "Fanboy Stinks".
#*The episode "Moppy Dearest" has '''objectophilia''' jokes in a '''kids'''' show, where Fanboy falls in love with a mop.
#The use of pop culture references, especially to '''R-rated movies''' (eg. ''A Clockwork Orange'' and ''The Shining''), is used in a bad way.
#*They even use references to cereal and other cartoons like ''Lucky Charms'', ''Marvel'' comics, and even ''Schoolhouse Rock'', which are all just weird.
#While there are some likable characters, there are a few unlikable, insufferable, or just plain loathsome characters:
#*The titular duo are immature jerks who, although not intentionally mean, annoy everyone around them, which doesn't help that their voices are a bit too overly squeaky.
#**On top of that, both of their names are downright laughable and nonsensical.
#*Yo, despite being interesting, is a young girl in Fanboy and Chum Chum's class, who obsesses over Chum Chum ''anytime she is seen onscreen''.
#*Mr. Mufflin, despite being likable, used to be quite boring in the first season of the show, as he was a typical "depressed teacher" type character.
#*Sigmund is also somewhat mean-spirited, but only towards Kyle, as he constantly fools him into believing he can get back into milkweed.
#**In his debut episode, he '''gave Fanboy and Chum Chum dynamite so they can explode'''. '''Yes, really'''.
#*Michael Johnson is an insult to the late Michael Jackson, and to add insult to injury, the show premiered four months after his death.
#*Otherwise, some of the good characters, such as Kyle, can have their fair portion of unlikable moments, with a good example being in "Separation Anxiety".
#Kyle's cliché of being treated like dirt is insulting, turning him into a butt-monkey, a character who gets hurt by everyone in the show for little to no (if not any) apparent reason at all.
#*Even Fanboy and Chum Chum are butt-monkeys in some episodes. In "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha", Miss Olive mistakes them as kindergarten students and forces them to attend the class for the whole day.
#Some characters use the same models but with slightly different appearances, different names, and classifications. For example, Lunch Lady Cram's twin sister, Bus Lady Cram, is her but as a bus driver. She has the same appearance as Lunch Lady Cram (the only difference is the hat), the same personality as Lunch Lady Cram (only much more hurtful, cruel, and sadistic), and even the same voice actress as Lunch Lady Cram, Candi Milo (only her voice is slightly deeper and has a much more evil laugh). In one episode, before her name was revealed, everyone in the show even called her Lunch Lady Cram because of this.
#The background music sounds distorted and broken.
#There is so much noise that never stops nor ends:
#*The voice acting mostly consists of screaming and squealing, even from actors such as David Hornsby (Rickety Cricket from ''It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia''), Nika Futterman (Luna Loud and Alexis from ''The Loud House'', Sticks The Badger from ''Sonic Boom'', and Stretch the Tape Measure and Squeeze the Pliers from ''Handy Manny''), Jamie Kennedy (''Son of The Mask'' and ''The Jamie Kennedy Experiment''), and Jeff Bennett (the eponymous character from ''Johnny Bravo'', Kowalski from ''Penguins of Madagascar'', the man with the yellow hat from ''Curious George'', Mick Swagger from ''The Loud House'', Raj and Samson from ''Camp Lazlo,'' Conrad Fleem and Shelton Klutzberry from ''The Replacements, Silvester from The Larry Doyle era of Looney Tunes, Kyle Katarn from Star Wars: Jedi Outcast and Academy'' and Dexter's father from ''Dexter's Laboratory''), Candi Milo (Nora Wakeman from My Life as a Teenage Robot, the eponymous character from Season 3 and 4 of Dexter's Laboratory, Janet from The Boondocks, Dona from Final Fantasy X series, the titular chracter from the Astro Boy game (2004) and Redback Thorn from Ty3: The Tasmanian Tiger: Night of the Quinkan).
#*The theme song, while admittedly catchy, is incredibly annoying, loud, and ear-piercing and the lyrics of the second half of the song consist of "bah bah bah"s. Brad Breeck, the composer of the theme song, also did the ''[[Gravity Falls]]'' title tune. The titular characters sound even worse than they do in the actual show, as they sing like an emo pop or pop punk band by whining.
#**Apart from the "bah bah bah"s, the song also consists of loud screaming throughout.
#*** There are painful yet insufferable sound effects.
#The majority of the show is painfully nonsensical and doesn't have any logical premise.
#Much like ''[[Breadwinners]]'', the pacing is insufferable.
#The title cards, despite looking cool, have a very weird choppy looking art style to them which can sometimes look pretty uncanny. A few are also misleading, such as the one in "Bubble Trouble", where it depicts Boog getting stuck in a soap bubble, despite it '''never actually happening''' throughout the episode.
==Qualities That Deserve Frosty Freezy Freezes==
#The show has some funny moments.
#This show has a good amount of likable characters such as:
#*Kyle
#*Lenny
#*Boog Shlizetti
#*Man-Arctica
#*Mr. Mufflin
#*Dollarnator
#*Agent Johnson
#*Lupe
#*The Oz

#Most of the title cards look kind of cool, despite the choppy-looking art style to them.
#Some of the character designs are passable such as Lenny, Boog, and Man-Arctica.
#*Speaking of the character designs, despite looking ugly in CGI, they kind of do look cartoony and Looney Tunes-esque.
#There are a handful of good/decent episodes here and there such as:
#*"Fanboy" (the pilot)
#*"Berry Sick"
#*"Night Morning"
#*"Fangboy" (Arguably the best episode of the series)
#*"Stan-Arctica"
#*"Put That Cookie Down!"
#*"GameBoy"
#*"HypnotOZed"
#*"Night Morning"
#*"Norse Code"
#*"Present Not Accounted For"
#*"Saving Private Chum Chum"
#*"Back from the Future"
#*"The Winners"
#*"No Toy Story" (which would have been a good way to start the second season, but disappointingly the producers decided to put "I'm Man-Arctica" as the first part of the second season premiere)
#*"[[Slime Day (Fanboy and Chum Chum)|Slime Day]]"
#*"Heroes vs. Villains"
#*"Super Chums"
#*"There Will Be Shrieks"
#*"A Very Brrr-y Icemas"
#*"[[Brain Freeze (Fanboy and Chum Chum)|Brain Freeze]]" (the series finale, which ended the show on a decent note)
#Season 2 is a slight improvement over season 1 since the main titular protagonists are somewhat more likable (mainly in the second half of the season), the animation receives a more polished look and has a few better episodes. However, these aren't saying a lot, as many flaws remain from Season 1.
#While the voice acting contains a lot of ear-piercing screaming, it can be quite tolerable when it isn't meant to be annoying or weird.
#The show's composer, Brad Breeck, released [https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6n8dpsxe9od9o5l/AAAQyHlH_XIMRRTjUojPKQd_a?dl=0 studio-quality stems] of the show's theme song after he was asked, showing that he appreciates his fans and is actively helping them make parodies of his music.
#The animation is quite redeemable, fluid, and colorful, especially because it came out in 2009; this can be noticeable in the second season.
#Despite the background music sounding distorted and broken, it can sound goofy, funny, enjoyable, and endearing at times.

== Reception ==
<nowiki>''Fanboy & Chum Chum'' was critically panned by the majority of critics and audiences alike. It was criticized for its annoying and unfunny humor and it's mostly lazy visuals. It is considered to be not only one of the worst Nickelodeon shows ever made, but also one of the worst cartoons of all time in general. It sits at a 3.4/10 on IMDb and a 4.9/10 on Rating Graph. The series is often considered the moment that Nickelodeon's decline began and they still haven'</nowiki>t recovered since then (as stated above). However, it seems to have gained a cult following as of now.
==Trivia==
*It was greenlit by Nickelodeon over ''[[Adventure Time]]'', which would air on Cartoon Network because one of the workers found it "too weird".
*It was one of the few Nicktoons to end on its terms on the main channel.
*After nearly three years of being adored, the show was moved to a 7:00 AM slot on weekdays in 2012 – right before the Nick Jr. block in the morning (which usually started at 8:00 or 9:00 AM). Reruns were practically non-existent, as the show would air only on Sundays at 7:00 AM from somewhere around early 2014 to early 2015 before it was banished permanently.
**The series finale ("Brain Freeze") was delayed for two years and was to air on July 12, 2014, but ended up airing a day later on the main Nickelodeon channel.
**On [[Nicktoons (2014-present)|Nicktoons]], the show could be found airing somewhat inconsistently between 4:30 AM and 6:00 AM, along with ''Random! Cartoons'' and ''TUFF Puppy''. These time slots remained until the show entirely ceased to air in March 2016, though it briefly came back to air on Christmas Day in a graveyard slot before being removed for good.
*In separation anxiety, the two main characters' names were revealed. fanboy's real name was Tobias and Chum Chum's real name was Sir Edmund.
*Over the years of its existence, it would later gain a fanbase and cult following, which is wackier than the show itself. The most common places for these fans to appear would be on platforms such as TikTok, Twitter/X, Tumblr, etc. It would also receive some projects from fans, such as fan art and OCs, costumes and cosplays, and memes.
*The entire series was added to Paramount+ on December 15, 2020.<ref>https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/fanboy-and-chum-chum/</ref>
*The creator, Eric Robles, would go on to be the co-creator of ''[[Glitch Techs]].

an original Xbox.
#There is a Sony Bravia TV '''with a built-in PlayStation 2''' released in PAL regions in 2010, However, when the television was released, the PS3 Slim was already available in Europe a year ago.
#One of the earliest consoles to support 1080i through component output. The handful of games that supported this mode include ''[[Gran Turismo 4]]'', ''Tourist Trophy'', and a ''[[Jackass: The Game|Jackass]]'' game of all things.
#It was the first console to be able to run a non-proprietary operating system, namely Linux.
#The console's hardware was similar to that of the [[Wii]] and the [[PlayStation Portable|PSP]], as a result it was on the market alongside its successor until a few months before the PS4 was released.
==Bad Qualities==
#Most multi-platform games look and run worse on the PS2 due to the weaker hardware of the system, most notably ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'', ''[[Psychonauts]]'', and various ''Grand Theft Auto'' and ''Tom Clancy's'' games. This isn't as big of an issue as it could have been, since most games from its generation were designed with the PS2 in mind and didn't take much advantage of the more powerful competitors, but even then, PS2 games usually run at a lower framerate and resolution. Plus a few developers such as Valve, Bethesda, and Id avoided developing games for the PS2 due to its weaker hardware.
#Most early PS2 consoles tend to break down easily or suffer the infamous Red Screen of Death which reads "Please insert a PlayStation or PlayStation 2 format disc." This was fixed on later models.
#*RSOD [https://youtu.be/1uHLQHjtPLE had a creepy sound] that scared many younger gamers and even adults as well much to the point it can give people nightmares.
#Official memory cards are only 8 MB, and very few third-party manufacturers (Nyko, Mad Catz, and Hori) were licensed to make them. 16 MB and up cards are neither licensed nor officially supported, and they can break easily, formatting all data and making it useless.
#*On top of that, some games won't save on any memory card that isn't 8 MB
#The first DVD remotes don't have a power or eject button, and the early PS2s require a receiver dongle to be put into one of the controller ports and a disc to update the player. Later revisions of the remote added the buttons and the SCPH-5000x and up PS2s have the receiver built into them and don't need the update disc, although the eject button only works on the 5000x PS2s since the slims have a mechanical lid rather than a motorized tray.
#Severe lack of quality control on what games could be published on it possibly due to its popularity by kids in Europe or continued lifespan when the PS3 is now in European stores, resulting the console into being the [[Shovelware|shovelware target of its generation]], more so during the latter half its lifecycle. It even resulted in '''[[Animal Soccer World|bootleg]] [[Snow White and the 7 Clever Boys|movies]]''' being published '''exclusively''' for the PS2 rather than in the PS3 and the PSP.
#Official component cables (which, along with [[SCART Cable|RGB SCART]], are known for having the best possible analog video quality) are now very expensive and very rare in some countries like Brazil, ranging from $50-$200, the same goes for the PS3's component cables which are backwards compatible.
#The PlayStation 2 is the only console from its generation that required a multitap to allow more than two people playing at once, even the Dreamcast didn't need a multitap. Worse yet, there were two different versions, since the slim models cannot use the original model's multitap or vice versa, since the gap between the controller port and the memory card slot were different. Even the '''[[Nintendo 64]], which was from the last generation, didn't need a multitap!'''
#Despite being backward compatible with PlayStation games, you still need PS1 memory cards for saving PS1 games.
#Linux can't be installed on the slim models due to them lacking hard drive support from the fat models.#The SCPH-7000x and SCPH-7500x models require an external power brick (fortunately the brick isn't in the socket part).
#Most SCPH 9000x models are currently impossible to mod due to improved security measures Sony has built into them.
#The slim models are notorious for damaging or destroying discs due to the laser cable loosening over time and eventually scratching the discs.
#The fat models have terrible physical durability and can get damaged easily when dropped from 5 feet which is worse than most other consoles.
==Maintenance==
#The ribbon that moves the lens when reading a disc on the slim model can touch the disc while it spins, leaving a big circular scratch on every disc you play. '''<font style="color: red">If this happens to you, stop using your PS2 immediately and take it to be repaired.</font>'''
#PlayStation games played via backward compatibility can't save data into a PlayStation 2 memory card, so make sure you own an older PS1 memory card.
#Some unofficial game discs such as the ones produced by [[Phoenix Games]], [[Data Design Interactive]], [[The Code Monkeys]] and [[Blast Entertainment]] can damage your console due to those discs' poor quality.
==Reception==
The PlayStation 2 is currently the best-selling video game system in history, selling over '''155 million units''' as of March 31, 2012. Its ability to play DVDs and PlayStation games as well as good third-party support was a major factor to its massive success.
==Trivia==
*The announcement of the PS2 alone was strong enough to cause the Dreamcast to decline in sales quickly and kill it for good.
*The following PS2 games are the only games on the PS2 that can be played in 1080i:
**''Tourist Trophy''
**''Gran Turismo 4''
**''Jackass: The Game''
**''Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria''
*It took nearly a decade for the PS2 to be launched in Brazil, leaving it on the market for only three years in that country.
*A digital video recorder based on the PS2, the ''[[PSX]]'' (not to be confused with the original PlayStation that also used ''PSX'' as its code name), was released in 2003 only in Japan. It became a total flop due to having a really high launch price, and other fatal flaws, causing Sony to cancel their plans on releasing the device outside of Japan.
*It barely gets outsold by the Nintendo DS with only 1 million units, causing it to be the best selling console ever made.
*The more memory cards the console has the more blocks will appear on the startup screen.

an original Xbox.
#There is a Sony Bravia TV '''with a built-in PlayStation 2''' released in PAL regions in 2010, However, when the television was released, the PS3 Slim was already available in Europe a year ago.
#One of the earliest consoles to support 1080i through component output. The handful of games that supported this mode include ''[[Gran Turismo 4]]'', ''Tourist Trophy'', and a ''[[Jackass: The Game|Jackass]]'' game of all things.
#It was the first console to be able to run a non-proprietary operating system, namely Linux.
#The console's hardware was similar to that of the [[Wii]] and the [[PlayStation Portable|PSP]], as a result it was on the market alongside its successor until a few months before the PS4 was released.
==Bad Qualities==
#Most multi-platform games look and run worse on the PS2 due to the weaker hardware of the system, most notably ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'', ''[[Psychonauts]]'', and various ''Grand Theft Auto'' and ''Tom Clancy's'' games. This isn't as big of an issue as it could have been, since most games from its generation were designed with the PS2 in mind and didn't take much advantage of the more powerful competitors, but even then, PS2 games usually run at a lower framerate and resolution. Plus a few developers such as Valve, Bethesda, and Id avoided developing games for the PS2 due to its weaker hardware.
#Most early PS2 consoles tend to break down easily or suffer the infamous Red Screen of Death which reads "Please insert a PlayStation or PlayStation 2 format disc." This was fixed on later models.
#*RSOD [https://youtu.be/1uHLQHjtPLE had a creepy sound] that scared many younger gamers and even adults as well much to the point it can give people nightmares.
#Official memory cards are only 8 MB, and very few third-party manufacturers (Nyko, Mad Catz, and Hori) were licensed to make them. 16 MB and up cards are neither licensed nor officially supported, and they can break easily, formatting all data and making it useless.
#*On top of that, some games won't save on any memory card that isn't 8 MB
#The first DVD remotes don't have a power or eject button, and the early PS2s require a receiver dongle to be put into one of the controller ports and a disc to update the player. Later revisions of the remote added the buttons and the SCPH-5000x and up PS2s have the receiver built into them and don't need the update disc, although the eject button only works on the 5000x PS2s since the slims have a mechanical lid rather than a motorized tray.
#Severe lack of quality control on what games could be published on it possibly due to its popularity by kids in Europe or continued lifespan when the PS3 is now in European stores, resulting the console into being the [[Shovelware|shovelware target of its generation]], more so during the latter half its lifecycle. It even resulted in '''[[Animal Soccer World|bootleg]] [[Snow White and the 7 Clever Boys|movies]]''' being published '''exclusively''' for the PS2 rather than in the PS3 and the PSP.
#Official component cables (which, along with [[SCART Cable|RGB SCART]], are known for having the best possible analog video quality) are now very expensive and very rare in some countries like Brazil, ranging from $50-$200, the same goes for the PS3's component cables which are backwards compatible.
#The PlayStation 2 is the only console from its generation that required a multitap to allow more than two people playing at once, even the Dreamcast didn't need a multitap. Worse yet, there were two different versions, since the slim models cannot use the original model's multitap or vice versa, since the gap between the controller port and the memory card slot were different. Even the '''[[Nintendo 64]], which was from the last generation, didn't need a multitap!'''
#Despite being backward compatible with PlayStation games, you still need PS1 memory cards for saving PS1 games.
#Linux can't be installed on the slim models due to them lacking hard drive support from the fat models.#The SCPH-7000x and SCPH-7500x models require an external power brick (fortunately the brick isn't in the socket part).
#Most SCPH 9000x models are currently impossible to mod due to improved security measures Sony has built into them.
#The slim models are notorious for damaging or destroying discs due to the laser cable loosening over time and eventually scratching the discs.
#The fat models have terrible physical durability and can get damaged easily when dropped from 5 feet which is worse than most other consoles.
==Maintenance==
#The ribbon that moves the lens when reading a disc on the slim model can touch the disc while it spins, leaving a big circular scratch on every disc you play. '''<font style="color: red">If this happens to you, stop using your PS2 immediately and take it to be repaired.</font>'''
#PlayStation games played via backward compatibility can't save data into a PlayStation 2 memory card, so make sure you own an older PS1 memory card.
#Some unofficial game discs such as the ones produced by [[Phoenix Games]], [[Data Design Interactive]], [[The Code Monkeys]] and [[Blast Entertainment]] can damage your console due to those discs' poor quality.
==Reception==
The PlayStation 2 is currently the best-selling video game system in history, selling over '''155 million units''' as of March 31, 2012. Its ability to play DVDs and PlayStation games as well as good third-party support was a major factor to its massive success.
==Trivia==
*The announcement of the PS2 alone was strong enough to cause the Dreamcast to decline in sales quickly and kill it for good.
*The following PS2 games are the only games on the PS2 that can be played in 1080i:
**''Tourist Trophy''
**''Gran Turismo 4''
**''Jackass: The Game''
**''Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria''
*It took nearly a decade for the PS2 to be launched in Brazil, leaving it on the market for only three years in that country.
*A digital video recorder based on the PS2, the ''[[PSX]]'' (not to be confused with the original PlayStation that also used ''PSX'' as its code name), was released in 2003 only in Japan. It became a total flop due to having a really high launch price, and other fatal flaws, causing Sony to cancel their plans on releasing the device outside of Japan.
*It barely gets outsold by the Nintendo DS with only 1 million units, causing it to be the best selling console ever made.
*The more memory cards the console has the more blocks will appear on the startup screen.

==Why It Lives And Plays In Your World==
#A whopping '''3,847''' games were released for it. On top of that, virtually every game from its generation is playable on (if not exclusive to) the console, outside of Nintendo's and Microsoft's first-party titles and PC-exclusives.
#Almost completely backwards compatible with the [[PlayStation (console)|PlayStation]], so when the game library of both consoles is combined, the number of games you could play was over '''''<u>6,200</u>'''''! Also, you can increase the loading speed of the original PlayStation games. This helped because a lot of games released after the PlayStation 2 came out were for the original PlayStation.
#Remained in production for thirteen years, making it one of the longest-running consoles in gaming history. Even with the release of the [[PlayStation 3|PS3]], the PS2 remained popular into the seventh and eighth generations. New games were released for it even after it had been discontinued. In fact, the console was so popular that the last game on it was '''''Pro Evolution Soccer 2014'', which was released a ''week'' before the [[PlayStation 4]]'s release date!''' However, this version of the game was only released in Europe. This game also had PS3 and PS4 verisons.
#Unlike the PlayStation memory card which could only hold about 15 slots of data, the PS2 memory card has a total of 8MB worth of storage capacity, allowing for a large amount of saving files on each. There are also some variations of bigger memory cards, such as a 16MB one.
#A hard drive was released for the PlayStation 2 Fat model in July 2001 in Japan and in 2004 in North America, technically making it the first released console to have a hard drive before the release of the [[Xbox (console)|Xbox]] in November 2001. The hard drive allows you to store a massive amount of game saves, enhanced certain games, and was used in ''[[Final Fantasy XI]]'' to allow the game to get updates from the server. It was also required as part of the Linux on PS2 Kit
#A huge number of very good games, many of which were exclusives or started on the PS2 such as:
#*''[[God of War (2005)|God of War 1]]'' and ''[[God of War II|2]]''
#*''[[Final Fantasy X]]'', ''[[Final Fantasy X-2|X-2]]'', and ''[[Final Fantasy XII|XII]]''
#*''[[Ratchet & Clank (2002)|Ratchet & Clank 1]]'', ''[[Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando|2]]'', and ''[[Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal|3]]''
#*''[[Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy|Jak and Daxter 1]]'', ''[[Jak II|2]]'', and [[Jak 3|3]]
#*''[[Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3]]'', ''[[Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4|Pro Skater 4]]'', ''[[Tony Hawk's Underground|Underground]]'', ''[[Tony Hawk's Underground 2|Underground 2]]'' and ''[[Tony Hawk's American Wasteland|American Wasteland]]''.

#Iconic startup screen.
#*It's interesting to note that the blocks on the screen represent any game played on the memory card, and as the player goes through in the game, these blocks become towers. If it fills all the way, the towers will be at the startup instead of the blue galaxy.
#Similar to how ''[[Crash Bandicoot (video game)|Crash Bandicoot]]'' and ''[[Spyro the Dragon]]'' were the unofficial mascots for the PS1, ''[[Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy|Jak]]'', ''[[Ratchet & Clank (2002)|Ratchet]]'', and ''[[Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus|Sly Cooper]]'' were the unofficial mascots of the PS2.
#The first Sony home console '''to have [[Sega]] and their ''[[Sonic Heroes|Sonic]]'' games.''' This is notable due to Sega competing with [[PlayStation|the original PlayStation]] in the late 1990s with their [[Sega Saturn]] and [[Dreamcast]] consoles.
#One of the first major consoles capable of playing DVDs, which was a selling point when it was released and it also meant games could be stored in DVD discs, one of the reasons it outsold its competitors is that it was the only console at the time that plays DVDs out of the box, as the original Xbox can only DVDs via an add-on that's sold separately while the Gamecube DVD compatibility is only exclusive to a certain model released only in Japan while the Dreamcast lacked a DVD drive at all.
#A second "slim" model was also released. It takes less shelf space, has its own built-in Ethernet port to negate the requirement for network adapters, and uses a top-loading disc drive to ease up the process of ejecting a disc. It is still backwards compatible with the PlayStation games and still plays DVD movies.
#Some cases for the games have a small slot to store memory cards.
#The DualShock 2 controller is backwards compatible with the PS1, and the earlier DualShock 1 is also forwards compatible with the PS2. Even the original PS1 controller is forwards compatible with PS2 games that don't require the analog sticks.
#*Speaking of controllers, the PS2 had so many unique controllers such as the DDR pad, Resident Evil 4 Chainsaw controller and so many more.
#Brazilians could '''watch Netflix through a special red disc''' (no longer supported).
#Most PS2s can be modded to play games through USB flash drives or burning, force upscaling to higher resolutions (with component cables), or emulate many games from other consoles like the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] and [[Sega Genesis]].
#*Soft modding a PS2 is fairly easy compared to other consoles and there are various methods of doing so, the easiest being to simply buy a Free McBoot memory card. Hard modding a PS2 however is more difficult than hard modding an original Xbox.
#There is a Sony Bravia TV '''with a built-in PlayStation 2''' released in PAL regions in 2010, However, when the television was released, the PS3 Slim was already available in Europe a year ago.
#One of the earliest consoles to support 1080i through component output. The handful of games that supported this mode include ''[[Gran Turismo 4]]'', ''Tourist Trophy'', and a ''[[Jackass: The Game|Jackass]]'' game of all things.
#It was the first console to be able to run a non-proprietary operating system, namely Linux.
#The console's hardware was similar to that of the [[Wii]] and the [[PlayStation Portable|PSP]], as a result it was on the market alongside its successor until a few months before the PS4 was released.
==Bad Qualities==
#Most multi-platform games look and run worse on the PS2 due to the weaker hardware of the system, most notably ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'', ''[[Psychonauts]]'', and various ''Grand Theft Auto'' and ''Tom Clancy's'' games. This isn't as big of an issue as it could have been, since most games from its generation were designed with the PS2 in mind and didn't take much advantage of the more powerful competitors, but even then, PS2 games usually run at a lower framerate and resolution. Plus a few developers such as Valve, Bethesda, and Id avoided developing games for the PS2 due to its weaker hardware.
#Most early PS2 consoles tend to break down easily or suffer the infamous Red Screen of Death which reads "Please insert a PlayStation or PlayStation 2 format disc." This was fixed on later models.
#*RSOD [https://youtu.be/1uHLQHjtPLE had a creepy sound] that scared many younger gamers and even adults as well much to the point it can give people nightmares.
#Official memory cards are only 8 MB, and very few third-party manufacturers (Nyko, Mad Catz, and Hori) were licensed to make them. 16 MB and up cards are neither licensed nor officially supported, and they can break easily, formatting all data and making it useless.
#*On top of that, some games won't save on any memory card that isn't 8 MB
#The first DVD remotes don't have a power or eject button, and the early PS2s require a receiver dongle to be put into one of the controller ports and a disc to update the player. Later revisions of the remote added the buttons and the SCPH-5000x and up PS2s have the receiver built into them and don't need the update disc, although the eject button only works on the 5000x PS2s since the slims have a mechanical lid rather than a motorized tray.
#Severe lack of quality control on what games could be published on it possibly due to its popularity by kids in Europe or continued lifespan when the PS3 is now in European stores, resulting the console into being the [[Shovelware|shovelware target of its generation]], more so during the latter half its lifecycle. It even resulted in '''[[Animal Soccer World|bootleg]] [[Snow White and the 7 Clever Boys|movies]]''' being published '''exclusively''' for the PS2 rather than in the PS3 and the PSP.
#Official component cables (which, along with [[SCART Cable|RGB SCART]], are known for having the best possible analog video quality) are now very expensive and very rare in some countries like Brazil, ranging from $50-$200, the same goes for the PS3's component cables which are backwards compatible.
#The PlayStation 2 is the only console from its generation that required a multitap to allow more than two people playing at once, even the Dreamcast didn't need a multitap. Worse yet, there were two different versions, since the slim models cannot use the original model's multitap or vice versa, since the gap between the controller port and the memory card slot were different. Even the '''[[Nintendo 64]], which was from the last generation, didn't need a multitap!'''
#Despite being backward compatible with PlayStation games, you still need PS1 memory cards for saving PS1 games.
#Linux can't be installed on the slim models due to them lacking hard drive support from the fat models.#The SCPH-7000x and SCPH-7500x models require an external power brick (fortunately the brick isn't in the socket part).
#Most SCPH 9000x models are currently impossible to mod due to improved security measures Sony has built into them.
#The slim models are notorious for damaging or destroying discs due to the laser cable loosening over time and eventually scratching the discs.
#The fat models have terrible physical durability and can get damaged easily when dropped from 5 feet which is worse than most other consoles.
==Maintenance==
#The ribbon that moves the lens when reading a disc on the slim model can touch the disc while it spins, leaving a big circular scratch on every disc you play. '''<font style="color: red">If this happens to you, stop using your PS2 immediately and take it to be repaired.</font>'''
#PlayStation games played via backward compatibility can't save data into a PlayStation 2 memory card, so make sure you own an older PS1 memory card.
#Some unofficial game discs such as the ones produced by [[Phoenix Games]], [[Data Design Interactive]], [[The Code Monkeys]] and [[Blast Entertainment]] can damage your console due to those discs' poor quality.
==Reception==
The PlayStation 2 is currently the best-selling video game system in history, selling over '''155 million units''' as of March 31, 2012. Its ability to play DVDs and PlayStation games as well as good third-party support was a major factor to its massive success.
==Trivia==
*The announcement of the PS2 alone was strong enough to cause the Dreamcast to decline in sales quickly and kill it for good.
*The following PS2 games are the only games on the PS2 that can be played in 1080i:
**''Tourist Trophy''
**''Gran Turismo 4''
**''Jackass: The Game''
**''Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria''
*It took nearly a decade for the PS2 to be launched in Brazil, leaving it on the market for only three years in that country.
*A digital video recorder based on the PS2, the ''[[PSX]]'' (not to be confused with the original PlayStation that also used ''PSX'' as its code name), was released in 2003 only in Japan. It became a total flop due to having a really high launch price, and other fatal flaws, causing Sony to cancel their plans on releasing the device outside of Japan.
*It barely gets outsold by the Nintendo DS with only 1 million units, causing it to be the best selling console ever made.
*The more memory cards the console has the more blocks will appear on the startup screen.

'''My Abandonware''' is an abandonware website that hosts abandoned video games that are impossible to buy anywhere and it's probably the most popular website that hosts abandonware software. It was founded in 2009 and belongs to UtopiaWeb that's based in France.
== Bad Qualities ==
#This site does not host almost any good game because it is afraid of platforms such as Steam, GOG (Good Old Games), or Origin, despite the fact that the copyrights to these games have long expired and (in most cases) no one would complain that these games are there. For example, they are afraid of sharing games such as ''Postal'', ''Tyrian'' or ''Warzone 2100'' because they are available on GOG, Steam, or Zoom, even though they are available there completely for free, so they could easily host these games for users.
#*For some unknown reason, sometimes they are afraid to release the game despite the fact that it can't be bought anywhere like Panzer General or Allied General, and they try to justify this by the alleged IP despite the fact that even [[Abandonia]] or [[Abandonware France]] are not afraid of sharing the games.
#*In rare cases, there is a link on the website where the game cannot be purchased at all and the website staff does absolutely nothing about it, which is why some pages are empty (for example, games from the Hardball series).
#They also confuse the original with remasters and compilations, one of the most infamous cases is the GTA trilogy or Age of Empires, where users complained that they are not the same and that these games are absolute abandonware. In almost all cases, the creators don't care at all whether the original is hosted somewhere or not, so again, they could do it without a problem and even Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 has a redirect to the Epic Games platform on this page when it is shared elsewhere to download, you also can't download Halo from a site when another site is literally giving you the game for free and also afraid Steam, GOG or Origin.
#*Sending a link to remasters kind of messes up the pages, a good example of which is the System Shock page where there are 2 links pointing to GOG.
#Despite the fact that this is the most famous abandonware site on the internet, sometimes there are no pictures to show the game, despite the fact that there are a lot of such pictures about the game because they only rely on MobyGames instead of looking for pictures elsewhere. Strangely enough, provide the ability to upload photos to the site, but this function is hardly used at all, so the site still looks confusing.
#*Basically, they could take these screenshots themselves and upload them to the website, especially since they have copies of these games, and using emulators and sometimes even the operating system themselves, they could run these games and simply photograph them using Bandicam or Fraps.
#The server is terrible because, first of all, it breaks down very often and the website itself undergoes technical breaks, sometimes it happens that even for a couple of times, at least once a month, this website has a technical break. The problem, however, is not only this, because sometimes it happens that the game that they recently uploaded may also be unavailable due to technical problems and the "not found" error pops up, also when you try to download more than one game, these will take a long time to download, and most often even the download freezes and fails due to a network error.
#It is remarkable that they very rarely add a well-known game to their site, and mainly focus on long-forgotten games that were sometimes only available in one country, sometimes even some niche free productions, which makes the site sometimes look poor despite the fact that that this is the most famous abandonware site and there is no shortage of people who know games from those years.
#This site offers the possibility to create an account, which is completely useless because literally all activities that can usually only be done after creating an account, such as adding comments, rating games, or adding to favorites, can be done without creating an account, which makes this feature pointless at all.
#Their game launching guide is poorly written, as it only recommends emulators, and only a few at that, despite the fact that they have a whole bunch of platforms. A good example is that they only recommend DOSBox and a few ISO emulators and a few others, and that's about it. There is also no information about emulators for platforms other than DOS and Windows, despite the fact that they have a whole lot of them in their library, which is unforgivable because it shows the laziness of the site owners. They also don't tell you how to use them or how to run the games, instead, they make you ask Vogons for it, which is both silly and ridiculous.
#* Not only that, the site also doesn't give you any advice to install or run the game and once in a Russian year it happens that they will give you an installation key for a commercial game that requires a key, so you have to look for a key or guide in the comments or on another website regarding the installation.
#This service has an exaggerated amount of advertisements on its pages, which, fortunately, do not cover any part, but they often clog the places with links to their pages and make a mess because of it, which can become annoying and it looks like it is not they were able to decide where the ad should be placed. Most popular sites don't have this clutter, nor is any site cluttered with it that much.
#*Despite all these tons of advertising, they want support from users with payments, which also makes them look incredibly greedy.
#They also care very little about what some platforms have, because some of them only have a few games and sometimes even one despite the fact that you could find many more games available for a given platform, which shows that they don't care too many deficiencies they have and instead add games for more well-known platforms.
# Although this is the only Abandonware site that allows you to play games in the browser, sometimes this browser emulator instead of launching the game just gives a game setup where the player has to install the game himself, this can be noticeable in DOS games from the 80's where an inexperienced player can have really serious problems with installing and launching the game, in addition to all this, the site, as mentioned above, does not provide absolutely any advice on how to install or launch the game and you have to rely on the comments. This is quite clumsy for the most popular website from Abandonware.
== Good Qualities ==
#There are still well-known games that are possible to download such as ''[[Lemmings series|Lemmings]]'', ''[[Prince of Persia (1 and 2)|Prince of Persia]]'', or ''Supaplex'', it can also be useful for finding obscure games that cannot be downloaded from any other abandonware website.
#This site was not afraid of other gaming sites before 2020, which made them much better.
#The staff sometimes takes criticism when, for example, they make the game available so that even downloading all their files will make the game unplayable, but unfortunately, that's about it.
#The interface is very nice and easy to use, mainly due to the high recognition of this site and the fact that it is sponsored by one of the companies.
#Like the [[Internet Archive]] or Classic Reload, they give the opportunity to play the game in the browser, which is rarely seen on websites, although this emulation can be unreliable at times.
#They have a very extensive browser so you can easily find the game you are looking for because you can choose the year, manufacturer, publisher or platform, and even genre.

#Their game launching guide is poorly written, as it only recommends emulators, and only a few at that, despite the fact that they have a whole bunch of platforms. A good example is that they only recommend DOSBox and a few ISO emulators and a few others, and that's about it. There is also no information about emulators for platforms other than DOS and Windows, despite the fact that they have a whole lot of them in their library, which is unforgivable because it shows the laziness of the site owners. They also don't tell you how to use them or how to run the games, instead, they make you ask Vogons for it, which is both silly and ridiculous.
#* Not only that, the site also doesn't give you any advice to install or run the game and once in a Russian year it happens that they will give you an installation key for a commercial game that requires a key, so you have to look for a key or guide in the comments or on another website regarding the installation.
#This service has an exaggerated amount of advertisements on its pages, which, fortunately, do not cover any part, but they often clog the places with links to their pages and make a mess because of it, which can become annoying and it looks like it is not they were able to decide where the ad should be placed. Most popular sites don't have this clutter, nor is any site cluttered with it that much.
#*Despite all these tons of advertising, they want support from users with payments, which also makes them look incredibly greedy.
#They also care very little about what some platforms have, because some of them only have a few games and sometimes even one despite the fact that you could find many more games available for a given platform, which shows that they don't care too many deficiencies they have and instead add games for more well-known platforms.
# Although this is the only Abandonware site that allows you to play games in the browser, sometimes this browser emulator instead of launching the game just gives a game setup where the player has to install the game himself, this can be noticeable in DOS games from the 80's where an inexperienced player can have really serious problems with installing and launching the game, in addition to all this, the site, as mentioned above, does not provide absolutely any advice on how to install or launch the game and you have to rely on the comments. This is quite clumsy for the most popular website from Abandonware.
== Good Qualities ==
#There are still well-known games that are possible to download such as ''[[Lemmings series|Lemmings]]'', ''[[Prince of Persia (1 and 2)|Prince of Persia]]'', or ''Supaplex'', it can also be useful for finding obscure games that cannot be downloaded from any other abandonware website.
#This site was not afraid of other gaming sites before 2020, which made them much better.
#The staff sometimes takes criticism when, for example, they make the game available so that even downloading all their files will make the game unplayable, but unfortunately, that's about it.
#The interface is very nice and easy to use, mainly due to the high recognition of this site and the fact that it is sponsored by one of the companies.
#Like the [[Internet Archive]] or Classic Reload, they give the opportunity to play the game in the browser, which is rarely seen on websites, although this emulation can be unreliable at times.
#They have a very extensive browser so you can easily find the game you are looking for because you can choose the year, manufacturer, publisher or platform, and even genre.

'''Abandonia''' is a website dedicated to abandoned games from the DOS era, this site has a very poor library and focuses on more famous titles.
== Why It's Better Off Abandoned ==
#As mentioned above, this site, unlike other sites of this type, only focuses on games from the DOS era and hardly any games from the Windows or other platform era, which is already a red flag in itself.
#Despite the fact that the game focuses on games from the DOS era, not all games from this era, only those from the 386 era or earlier, so if you are looking for a game from the 486 era or the pentium era, you are unlikely to find one.
#Like [[My Abandonware (2020-present)|My Abandonware]], this site is afraid of game-purchasing sites like Steam, Gog, and Origin, which makes its content even poorer.
#Unlike other abandonware sites, they don't add new games to their site at all, in other words, they put absolutely no effort into adding anything new to their site.
#Their interface is a total mess, there are even more ads than in My Abandonware, it also looks very ugly and poor to the point that you don't know whether to laugh or cry. Sometimes the text even overlaps.
#Total lack of any help in launching games, this site does not even recommend any emulator to launch games like DOSBox.
#The pages of this site sometimes have hidden links leading to sites that have nothing to do with games, which is very frustrating at the moment.
#The people behind this site are just as greedy as those behind My Abadnonware, if not more so because they have a ton of ads, and they tend to demand money from the user almost all the time, either when downloading or doing anything else.
#A whole ton of useless pages and sometimes even features that no one would rather use.
#The translation of the pages, while good on paper, is poorly done because this service is only able to print English-language stamps.
#Generally speaking, the use of this site is completely unnecessary and pointless, especially since there are sites that offer literally everything and way more that this site has to offer.
== The Only Redeeming Quality ==
#Despite their fear of being able to buy the game, there are a few games available for free download that My Abandonware is afraid to release, although unfortunately most of these games are not available.

'''Abandonware France''' is a site dealing with games released before 2000 based in France. It was founded on June 28, 2000.
== Why It abadon us ==
#Let's start with the most important problem this website is struggling with, namely it is afraid of platforms such as Steam, Gog or Origin, and although it is not as bad as in the case of My Abandonware, it is still worth noting.
#The site is entirely in French and there is no way to change the language anywhere, so if you don't know French you won't be able to understand anything without the goggle translator.
#Very bland interface which can sometimes cause some problems with finding the download link.
#The homepage looks like a mess and doesn't have much in common with older games. Sometimes they try to put a vibe from any cartoon like Barbie on the site.
#As far as emulation help is concerned, it's even worse than My Abandonware as they don't seem to even mention anything about compatibility like Abandonia.
#This site rarely adds games from the years after 2000, so it seems to be a rather poor site for looking for games from the 2000s, more for games from the 80s or 90s, although the above-mentioned problems are rather for games from the 80's.
#This site suffers from a similar problem as [[Abandonia]], which is that almost all of the games available on this site can be downloaded from other abandonware sites that offer much more.
== Redeeming Qualities ==
#They are less fearful than My Abandonware as mentioned above because when a game is available there for free, they also provide the game.
#Before the emergence of any platform that allows you to buy a game, this service was more tolerable and was not afraid of anything.

}}'''''Rayman''''' is a platform game developed by Ubi Pictures and published by Ubi Soft on the [[Atari Jaguar]] on September 1st, 1995.
==Plot==
Mr. Dark, a mysterious evil wizard, stole the Great Protoon, the Glade of Dream's source of power, and imprisoned the Electoon's, who gravitated around the Great Protoon, in cages. Betilla the fairy attempted to stop him but failed, so she requested Rayman to save the day. With assistance from Betilla and the Magician, Rayman must break all the cages to free the Electoon's and find Mr. Dark's lair in order to recover the Great Protoon.
==Why It Will Make You Say "Yeah!"==
#The graphics are outright stunning, colorful, and beautiful, and mind blowing for its time as well, since that there is around 65,000 different colors and four independently scrolling backdrops in the game.
#The soundtrack is not only beautiful and catchy, but the songs fit in each area of the game gracefully, whether if it's trying to give off a cheery vibe, a jazzy vibe, or a mysterious vibe.
#The game has a ton of creativity in it, such as the stage selection screen being seen from Mr. Dark's point of view with his binoculars.
#The characters are both goofy, creative, and likable in their own ways, with the biggest example being Rayman himself, as he's resembled as a chill and fun character, yet cares for his friends as the same time.
#The controls are both responsive and fluid, which makes it easier to react to upcoming obstacles and are some of the best controls a 2D platformer can offer.
#The hit detection is very precise, as the hitboxes for each of the enemies are all scaled to around the size of the portions of their bodies.
#The very frame that Rayman grabs onto a ledge, the player can immediately jump above the ledge, thus preventing the game's pacing from slowing down.
#Rayman's move-set, while being very weak in the beginning, gratefully improves as you make more progress throughout the game, with the best example being the ability to glide with his hair.
#The level design is very unique, as the enemies are not only unique in their own ways, such as being able to throw rocks at the player or being able to jump towards the player, but the levels are also designed around Rayman's move-set, with a few examples being listed here:
#*In some stages, you'll need to grab onto a ledge to get further to the end of the stage, and sometimes you need to grab onto a Purple Lum to gain access to a hidden cage.
#*In some stages, you will need to revisit them later on with new power-up's in order to access more cages, though backtracking in these stages aren't that big of a deal, as the levels are more easier with these new power ups.
#There are multiple secrets that can be awarded to players if they're skilled enough and can be found throughout multiple stages, such as extra lives and/or hidden cages, and thanks to how the levels are designed, it's easier to access a few of these secrets with certain power-ups.
#Three of the stages feature special temporary power-ups, which are planting special plants with a magic bean, and having infinite flight with a magic potion.
#*The magic bean is used in the third stage of the game in ''Pink Plant Woods'', where you have to escape a forest flood by planting multiple special plants to reach multiple platforms.
#*The infinite flight power-up is used in the third and fourth worlds of the game, ''Blue Mountains'' and ''Picture City'', where you have to fly through and dodge multiple objects as you make your way closer to the end of the stage.
#It received an unofficial remake titled "Rayman Redemption" which improves on all flaws the game has such as, all unlocked movements (including running), more levels, removes all of difficulty spikes, actual dialogues and even get to actually fight Mr Dark himself, making it the best version of the game.
==Bad Qualities==
#After the second world of the game, ''Band Land'', the game starts to get shorter, since that instead of having four stages for each world, the levels for each world start to reduce to three levels instead.
#The game is often considered too difficult, as the difficulty spike begins as early as the end of the first world, and some of the cages can be very hard to find as well. To make matters even worse, if you want to fight Mr. Dark, it will be mandatory to obtain all 102 cages in the game, and it also feels like all 102 cages are required to access Mr. Dark, so that the game could take longer to complete because of how the worlds beyond ''Band Land'' start to get shorter as stated earlier. The knockback can also lead to a ton of cheap deaths as well.
#The GBA port and the ''Rayman Forever'' port are missing some of the music tracks from the original game, and both Atari Jaguar (the home cartridge-based version of this game) and the GBA versions of this game also suffer from having a weaker soundtrack. The MS-DOS version of the game also has worse sound quality.
#A few of the sections from some of the ports of the game such as the Atari Jaguar and the Android port of this game are also missing in some of the other ports of this games well, such as the introduction to ''Band Land''.
#You don't really get to fight Mr. Dark at the end of the game, as in his final fight, you just dodge attacks from him until you obtain Rayman's fist, where he decides to run away and sends the bosses that you have previously fought back to fight you, just mixed up and in a weaker form of their original counterparts.
#The ending of the game is a huge letdown, as all that it shows is the same image of Rayman's world at the introduction cutscene being shown, but just with it being set to nighttime instead with everybody celebrating Rayman's victory, with the magician saying "You've done it, you've saved the world!", and then cuts to the credits a few seconds later.
#*The ending in the GBA port is somehow even worse than the original versions ending, since it just show pictures of Rayman and his friends, and after that, it goes to the credits.
==Reception==
''Rayman'' received generally positive reviews. Critics praised its impressive graphics, animation, soundtrack, and for proving that the [[PlayStation (console)|PlayStation]] can do 2D games well and showing that the Atari Jaguar had some potential. It was criticized for its excessive difficulty, however.
==Trivia==
*The back cover of the PlayStation game box has several quotes that hint to the game's intense difficulty.
*There were [[32X]] and [[3DO Interactive Multiplayer|3DO]] versions of this game planned, but both versions were cancelled due to both systems selling very poorly. There is no known footage of the 3DO version of the game, however, there is [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfIJ5KYZcyc&t=3551s a 30-second clip] of the 32X version of this game, along with early footage of the Atari Jaguar and PlayStation ports of this game as well.
*A [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] version was in the works, but was cancelled, though a prototype of it was eventually released on the internet.<ref>[https://www.vg247.com/raymans-snes-prototype-now-available-for-download Rayman's SNES prototype now available for download] - VG247</ref>

'''Rayman 2: The Great Escape''' is a 1999 platform game developed by Ubi Pictures and published by Ubi Soft for the Nintendo 64, Microsoft Windows, Dreamcast, PlayStation, PlayStation 2, Game Boy Color, Nintendo DS, iOS, and Nintendo 3DS.
''Note: This page only focus on the console versions (with the exception of the PS1 version), to see the page about the Game Boy Color and PS1 ports, [[Rayman 2: The Great Escape (GBC)|click]] [[Rayman 2: The Great Escape (PS1)|here]]''
== Development ==
Rayman 2 was originally conceptualised as a sidescrolling 2D platformer, like the first game. Development on the prototype began in early 1996 with a team of six people and a budget of 10 million francs. It was slated to be released on the PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and Windows in the fourth quarter of that year. The prototype of Rayman 2 featured some usage of prerendered bitmaps of 3D computer models, differing from the hand-drawn presentation of its predecessor. The PC was the original lead platform, but it was switched to the Nintendo 64 mid-development, necessitating reducing the quality of the textures. The Dreamcast version uses the original high-quality textures. The art design was inspired by the works of Hayao Miyazaki and Tex Avery, and was made to give the game's world a sense of mythology.
== Plot ==
In ''Rayman 2: The Great Escape'', the player takes on the role of Rayman, a whimsical and limbless hero from the Glade of Dreams. The game begins with an invasion of Rayman's world by the nefarious Robo-Pirates, led by the sinister Admiral Razorbeard. These robotic pirates have enslaved the peaceful inhabitants of the Glade and imprisoned Rayman's friends, the Teensies.
== Why It's A Great Escape ==
# It was an awesome way to bring Rayman to the 3D platformer genre, since due to how well executed this game was, it ended up not only being one of the best, if not the best game of the series (along with ''[[Rayman Legends|Legends]]''), but also one of the best 3D platformer of the 5th and 6th generation.
# Varied gameplay mechanics in many levels without straying too far away from the core platform gameplay so they don't become tedious.
# Amazing graphics for it's time that still hold up well and are iconic, as it is detailed and had great color palette (that isn't as colorful than the first game due to being darker), and they are designed around the dark tone of the game, which mean that they can sometime be dark when in other areas, they can be colorful to look at, also they are so iconic that when you see one character model, you can definitely tell that it's this game, in fact it look better than a lot of games released back in 1999.
#* In fact, ''Rayman Revolution'' had even better graphics than the original ports, because it had better lightning and also, the graphics are even more detailled than in the 5th gen consoles versions, and would even being one of the best looking 2000 PS2 game due to how beautiful the graphics are.
#* The Dreamcast port also had extremely well done graphics that are even better than the other ports (with the exception of ''Revolution''), and they are now way more detailled and colorful than even the PC version, also if you upscale the resolution, the graphics look even better and show how well they aged.
#* The N64 version also look impressive for a N64 game since not many of it had graphics this detailled for this time, and because of how good it look, it can possibly be counted as one of the best looking N64 game aoong with ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', ''[[Shadow Man]]'', ''[[Doraemon 3: Nobita no Machi SOS!]]'' and ''[[Star Fox 64]]''.
# Tight and responsive controls that are always responsive (except in the sliding parts) and never are clunky to use, also they aged surprisingly well because most 3D platformer back then had clunky controls, here they are very simple in a good way, and is designed for everyone.
#* Even the swiming controls are great and this is one of the few games to had good swiming controls since most games of the time had terrible controls in the water levels, even some of the 2000s games had poor controls for these sections but here there's nothing that is like that.
# The difficulty here is way more balanced than in the [[Rayman (1995)|first game]], since here instead of doing horribly hard levels that are very frustrating, the difficulty is well balanced and is neither too hard nor too easy, and even if you had unlimited lives, there's still challenge since the checkpoints aren't that present for the most parts, and it force you to be careful, also some of the later levels can be surprisingly challenging.
#* In fact, the game at time can had some challenging levels, such as "The Precipice" being the best exemple, and the game isn't that easy because you can still die a lot (not directly having a game over though).
#* The game is also more challenging if you're going to the 100% completion, since finding all the lums and cages isn't easy at all, especially the cages, and it show in the later levels.
# Excellent level design that despite being mostly linear, contain some explorations to make it up, and the levels are very fun in their own right, especially because the levels for their time were unique and fun to explore, and the very good environnements help too.
# Cool box art for every versions, especially the original box art and ''Rayman Revolution'' NA cover, the other are also great to look at and overall it is cool to look at and even tell what would happen in the game, it's also contain darker colors than in the first game box art, most likely to reflect the game dark tone.
# Like with the first game, Rayman can immediately jump after grabbing from a ledge, showing how tight the controls are, and it would continue to be this good with the next games, even if in ''Rayman 3'' it is slighly slower.
# The story is well made and an improvement over the first game story, since it involve darker themes and the story is quite deep for a kid game, and is even the darkest story out of any ''Rayman'' games (if we doesn't count ''Rayman 4'' prototype or ''Raving Rabbids'' for the GBA), mostly due to how the characters got kidnapped and some of the later levels that almost feel like they're from a horror game, such as "Tomb of the Ancient", and also the darker colors.
#* The story also had a fair amount of funny moments that are vague while still keeping the dark tone of the game consistent, such as the moment where the Teensies all wanted to be the king and that they get into a fight, which is very funny, and after that Rayman yell a big stop, that moment is even funnier in the gibberish languages.
# Obtaining all Lums and breaking all cages in each level unlocks a bonus minigame to recover heath, even though unfortunately those bonus stages are terrible due to poor controls.
# Solid one on one combat style that is very fun and while it didn't aged too well, at least it did inspirated other games to do the same thing such as ''[[Kao the Kangaroo: Round 2]]'' or the infamous ''[[Frogger: The Great Quest]]'', and almost all of the bosses had to use the combat system.
# After clearing the level "Cave of Bad Dreams", Jano (he was not named Jano until GBA Rayman 2) offers the player his treasure, and in most versions of the game the player can actually say yes. If they do, they get a comical non-canon ending with a fat lazy Rayman resting at a deserted island surrounded by the treasure.
# In the PlayStation version of the game, defeating the final boss unlocks a demo of the 2D prototype of the game, which is great for those who wanted to get the 2D game instead and show what it could have been.
# Great soundtrack that contain lot of variaty and are overall a joy to listen to, as they range from catchy, to relaxing and sometime downright epic.
#* Such exemples include the Overworld theme, "Entering the Pirate Ship", or "Meanwhile, In The Pirate Ship", some of those are iconic musics that are still know to this day.
#* In fact, some of the musics make some levels even more epic, most notably in "The Precipice" where the music is fitting for such an escape.
# Lot of new characters are introduced to this game, most notably Murphy and Globox, which are some of the most important characters of the franchise now, and those characters also got characters developments though the series and are likable, much like Rayman himself.
#* Globox is a very likable friend to Rayman since he help him with the adventure, and had lot of fears from the pirates, which is relatable considering how dangerous they are.
#* Murfy, while not really a character as good as in ''Rayman 3'', is still a pretty likable character who give tips to Rayman and is overall very likable.
#* Rayman himself is still likable as usual, saving all the prisoners and is very friendly, and also he fully speak unlike in ''Rayman 1'', and now had more characters development.
#* Ly the Fairy is a great character that help Rayman with doing the most that she do for helping him, such as giving him his powers, and also encourage him, even though she is being more weaker due to the energy of the world being lost with all the lums.
#* The Teensies are very funny new characters that help Rayman too, and had ton of iconic scenes, most notably where they all want to be king, and their voices in the Raymanian languages is also quite fun to listen to.
#* Clark is also very likable and also help Rayman in some of the levels, and also his mention of when he want to beat up pirates is funny and could be a reference to Obelix in the ''Asterix'' franchise due to Obelix also liking to defeat soldiers.
#* Razorbeard (see WIAGE#17 for more infos)
# Instead of having lives, Rayman has a large life-bar which is relatively easy to refill, and falling into bottomless pits only takes away a small amount of life. Breaking cages permanently increases Rayman's life bar.
# Razorbeard is an amazing villain and is possibly the best one of the entire ''Rayman'' franchise as he almost stopped Rayman and had destroyed half of the world, not even Mr. Dark or Reflux did this much damages in both the first and third game respectively.
#* His voice in the Raymanian language also show how scary and dangerous he is too, since when you listen to his gibberish voice, you can already know that he's incredibly dangerous and even his dialogues show it.
#* In fact he was the only villain that did almost kill Rayman as seen in the end since he could have done this two times, the first is when he accidently destroyed the ground part of his first phase arena where Rayman would have fallen in the lava if it wasn't for Ly that saved him, and second was when the ship did blow up and it show that he did though everything before the final battle, and Rayman did almost get killed, but he fortunately still survived, this show that he's not playing around and that he is truly evil.
# Epic final boss that may be the best final boss of the entire franchise, especially on the N64/Dreamcast/PC/PS2 version since considering that Razorbeard is really intimidating and pretty much the best villain of the Rayman franchise, it make everything better and the battle is also challenging, the PS1 version had a different version of the final boss where the gameplay is more like a ''[[Space Harrier]]'' clone in the phase when you defeat the boss.
# The PlayStation 2 version titled "Rayman Revolution" is regarded as the best version of the game due to lots of new content added, actual voiced dialogues and updated graphics thanks to its new engine RenderWare (the engine used for Burnout series and many other good looking games).
#* The Dreamcast version is also great as it has slightly better graphics and exclusive minigames in the new world "Globox Village", along with the slighly improved framerate and the different intro narration.
# The commercial for the N64 version is very funny since it involve a comparison to both Rayman and a man named Ray, and it is very hilarous.
# The ending is amazing since first, you might though that Rayman had dying for saving the world, but later on, we found out that he was actually alive and everyone was there, after he come, the Baby Globox du hug him and it end in a very emotional and somewhat funny way.
== Bad Qualities ==
# [[Rayman 2: The Great Escape (PS1)|The PS1 port]], while not too bad and actually decent, is a noticeable downgrade from the other versions due to lacking lot of levels and having downgraded graphics (though they are still good).
#* The game also suffered from two bad handheld ports, including both the Nintendo DS and 3DS versions as ''[[Rayman DS]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3D]]'', respectively.
#** The real problem with those ports is that they had plenty of new glitchs that are not even in the original versions, and the fact that even the controls suffered make this worst.
#* The Game Boy Color port named ''Rayman 2 Forever'' also suffer from being a huge downgrade from the first game on GBC, because of poor level design and the fact that the game overall is just not fun to play.
#* While the N64 version is an amazing, spectacular and fun version to play, there's still a handful amount of flaws not found in the other versions due to being the very first one that came out, such as:
#** A bit worse graphics than most versions (with the exception of the PS1, GBC and DS versions of the game), due to slightly less polished textures, although the graphics are still amazing for a 1999 N64 game.
#** Lot of glitchs are present, such as one part of "Tom of the Ancient" where with the barrel that slide and with the interruptors, then if you not landing on the good parts, then the barrel will go to the background texture and you will fall and die, though this can be avoided but still... It's a horrible glitch that is somehow easy to trigger, especially on emulator.
#*** There's also much more textures glitchs than in the other versions, though hardly executable.
#** Because of the N64 having technical limitation, the musics was translated in MIDI, which will give the problem of BQ#6.
# Sliding sections have very stiff controls that make grabbing Lums very frustrating because Rayman contiously refuses to take simple turns.
#* "Top of the World" first phase also had slippery controls and because of that, you can end up getting cheap deaths for frustrating reasons, which is annoying, considering that the first phase is an annoying mess.
# There's a few frustrating levels despite not really being a hard game, such as:
#* "The Top of the World" is extremely annoying for the first phase because if you hit a wall, then you will restart from the last checkpoints and not just taking damages like simple shots from enemies, not helping the fact that the level don't had lot of checkpoints too.
#** In the same level, finding the way for the Teensies to come out can be a chore for the first time that you play the game, especially that it isn't really well indicated that you need to do something so that he come.
#* "The Precipice", while not really a difficult level, had lot of rockets appearing and can hit you very easily, also the last pirate at the end of the level had attacks that are very hard to dodge before that you know how to actually dodge his attacks.
# While the combat system is great, it didn't aged well because of the fact that next ''Rayman'' games such as ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'' had better combats that this but still it is fun to use and it still aged better than some other games of it's time such as ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' combat (who didn't aged well but for another thing).
# The game is still short, as if you know what you are doing, you can complete it in only 5 hours, the PS1 port is even shorter, clocking around 3h30 to 4 hours.
# While Rayman Revolution is an amazing port, there's a few flaws with it too.
#* The hub world, while not a bad concept, is flawed and was what make that version underrated in the first place, since it is a pace breaker for a lot of peoples, especially in comparison to the level select of the original ''Rayman 2'', also it is somewhat confusing to navigate though the hub world.
#* The Japanese version does not have the option to switch from English as only the gibberish from the pre PS1 era ports is used.
# While still great, the soundtrack is rather washed out on the N64 version, due to being composed by midi instruments rather than orchestral due to N64 limitation.
#* The ost in the ''Rayman DS'' port is '''''even worst''''' and is way more washed out, especially the PAL version which is laughably bad and sometime sound unfinished, such as the Overworld theme, or even The Precipice part 2, which just sound atrocious and feel like they released the game before completion, and it show.
# The final boss (outside the PS1 version), while amazingly well done and incredibly epic, still had some flaws.
#* First off, if you die, then you need to restart the procedure to beat Razorbeard, which is artificial difficulty, and it can be extremely frustrating, especially for those who doesn't play very well.
#* If you get a game over (even in the PS1 version), you need to start from the very first phase, which is a bit of a pace breaker, even though the first phase is easier than the second one and can be done without taking damages easily.
#* Razorbeard do attacks that are incredibly hard to dodge and thus it can kill your run, also the worst part is that as stated in the first sub pointer, then you had to restart all over again.
#* It is difficult to get both the weapon and still get out without getting in the lava, howewer this is not that bad in the first half and offer challenges but in the second half it is a bigger pain.
# The race bonus stages are terrible, mostly because you need to press the button as fast as possible and if you fail one or two seconds, then it's screwed.
#* Even worse, the controls in these are incredibly terrible since you need to mash the button every seconds to win the race, which is just terrible to play and after that, you can had problems with your hands as they will being hurt.
== Reception ==
The game was critically acclaimed by critics, often called one of the best 3D platformers ever made. The Dreamcast version is usually said to be the best port of the game. The PlayStation version on the other hand is considered the worst as it lacks a large amount of content with some levels being completely removed.
In fact, the game was even considered to be the best game of the series, though nowadays there's a debate of what is the best game of the franchise, this game or ''[[Rayman Legends]]''.
On Metacritic, both the N64 version and the PS2 remake received a score of 90/100, indicating universal acclaim.<ref>https://www.metacritic.com/game/rayman-2-the-great-escape/critic-reviews/?platform=nintendo-64</ref><ref>https://www.metacritic.com/game/rayman-2-the-great-escape/critic-reviews/?platform=playstation-2</ref>
== Trivia ==
* This is the game in the Rayman series with the most ports. To put this into perspective, this was a launch title for both the Nintendo DS and its successor the Nintendo 3DS. Not to mention an an iPhone version (before its removal), a Game Boy Color version, and even a PS2 remake. And that's not even counting the two Play Station Network versions (one being a port of the PS1 version, the other being a port of the PS2 remake)
* In France, editions of the PC version of ''Rayman 2'' were sold with the [[Rayman: The Animated Series|''Rayman'' cartoon]]. Editions of the PlayStation version were sold with a digital watch in Europe and with a beach ball in the United States.
* In the Japanese version of Rayman 2 , some characters changed color. Rayman 's shirt became blue, Sssssam and Jano became green, Jano and Polokus ' hat became red, and Ly 's clothes became white. These changes were also applied to the Japanese version of Rayman Revolution.
* The plot of Rayman 2 has had some changes over time. Originally, Rayman 2 took place after the original game, in which Mr. Dark has been defeated. Evil robotic invaders from space arrive and imprison many of Rayman's friends, one of whom is Betilla the Fairy. The robots, led by a character named Chief, were set on converting Rayman's planet into a cold ball of metal. It's speculated that Chief was the original villain, eventually to be replaced by Razorbeard. Like in the original Rayman, all of the characters would have been limbless, and old friends, along with new ones, would have made appearances and helped Rayman.
* German magazine PC Player in January 2000 named Rayman 2 "Best Platform Game 1999".
* Another Ubisoft game released in 2000, ''Donald Duck: Quack Attack'' reuses several sound effects from ''Rayman 2''. It was also developed with Ubisoft OpenSpace .
* In 2015, video game designer Tim Schafer revealed that ''Rayman 2'' was a major influence on his game ''[[Psychonauts]]''.<ref>https://youtu.be/9WWSsw-16vw?t=1m25s</ref>
* Rayman 2 was going to have "Tank Controls" but it was changed to free-roaming controls when playtesters found the controls unplayable. An example of what that would have been like can be seen with the ''[[Tonic Trouble|Tonic Trouble: Special Edition]]'' game released for PC which is the early alpha version of that game.
* There's a French Disney magazine with a synopsis of Rayman 2 saying that Globox is the game's antagonist. Globox is actually Rayman's friend and the antagonist is Razorbeard.
* According to some early artwork, Ly was originally a Cat Girl rather than a fairy, which explains why she has a tail and that she sometimes runs on all fours during the Walk of Life and Walk of Power racing levels.

'''''Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc''''' is the third major platform game installment in the ''Rayman'' series and the sequel to ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''. A remastered HD port was later released for the [[PlayStation 3]] and [[Xbox 360]] as ''Rayman 3 HD''.
Note: This focus on the console versions due to the GBA version being completely different from this aside from the story, for the GBA version, [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|click here]].
== Developement ==
Rayman had at least 3 designs during the game's development. First, he was to appear in the same appearance as in ''Rayman 2'', then in a design similar to that of ''Rayman 3'' but with a yellow hood and the same shoes as in ''Rayman 2'', until arriving at his final design.
This flag has been replaced with a flag representing the most common enemies in the game : Corporals .
The design of the life bars was the same as in ''Rayman 2'', but they were modified during development.
In the second early preview of ''Rayman 3'', several old names of some levels make their appearance: Central Bank Garden, which corresponds to the Fairy Council, the Sour Noodle Swamp, which corresponds to the Crappy Swamp, Abracadabra Shortcut, which corresponds to the Great Shortcut, Black Lumsa, which corresponds to the Hoodlums Headquarters, and finally The Dark Dungeon which corresponds to the Leptys Tower.
In the Rayman 3 Early Preview sound files , there is a dialogue where Globox says: "Oh, shit, I'm flying! That's funny!". This was probably removed from the game due to bad vocabulary. A dialogue from Murfy was censored for using the same word but was not removed from the final version of the game.
Trapped Plums were supposed to appear in the game but for some reasons was cut out the game.
== Plot ==
It follows Rayman in his quest to stop an evil Black Lum named André from taking over the world with his army of hoodlum soldiers, which includes finding a cure for his best friend Globox after he accidentally swallows André.
== Why It's On The Roll ==
# ''Rayman 3'' features a point-based scoring system; a first for the series. The score system offers tons of replay value and tests the player's skills and knowledge of enemy encounters, and because of that system being well though, you might actually want to score the more points you can get, due to how fun it is.
#* The scoring system is also really fun and make the scoring way more fun than it would be if it wasn't for that, since if it was not present, it would probably be useless to score points and you would prefer to rush to the end of the level.
#** Despite that the scoring system is a major part of the game charm, you can still rush to the end and still get a lot of fun because of how amazing the gameplay is.
# Rayman's friend Globox is given a much bigger role and accompanies Rayman through the entire game, and received character development despite still being a bit scared, and he very funny in this game, especially when he is drunk, also he's still likable and help Rayman especially when he's drunk and do platforms to get though a pit that you can't escape, though he might spawn them accidently due to being drunk.
# The humor is just excellent and make this game probably one of the funniest game of the 2000s and it isn't a joke, almost, if not all the jokes are funny and the humor is at it's absolute best in this game, even in comparison to the predecessors and the next games such as ''Raving Rabbids'' or ''Legends''.
#* The French dub countain even more funny moments because the voices and dialogues are excellent, and feel more alive than the english dub, especially with the hoodlum that Globox eat.
#** One of the best exemple of the funny moments in the French dub is when Globox say to Rayman that he almost didn't feared anything, and the hoodlum say "C'est ça, et t'a presque pooper dans ton froc, gros dégueulasse va!", which mostly sound funny because of André voice.
#* Or the moment where Globox became drunk he either act in a very funny ways or say something that is hilarous, most notably when he craw on the ground or when he say that he's gonna get mad.
#* It even had some adult jokes and while some of them are too innapropriate for a kid game, they still are rather funny such as one moment where a sentence talked about a X website in the second level, and the mention was rather funny and unexpected.
#* Murfy had easily some of the best quotes of the entire game, especially in French because of the fact that his jokes are mostly adult jokes and one of these even include the s word but censored, which is extremely funny.
# Amazing graphics that are very advanced for it's time and even goes as far as being almost on par with ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', a game of 2002 that also had very beautiful graphics for it's time and this game hold up just as well as that game, since the graphics are very detailled, colorful and the art style of the game is very impressive for it's time, the HD remaster also made the graphics even better since it look even more colorful and look slighly more detailled, it is also obviously a huge step up from the graphics of both ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman Revolution]]'' and ''Rayman Arena'', despite those still looking solid.
# The gameplay is extremely fun, and varied for a 2003 game, and is faster than the one from ''Rayman 2'', which also had great gameplay but somewhat slow, here it is very fast-paced and focus on combat rather than platforming all the time, which is a first for the series too, and because of the game bigger focus on the combat, it can almost be considered a beat 'em up game, but still had a lot of platforming to keep you entertained, and because of this, it is the most unique gameplay of the series.
# Cool box arts for every regions and are just as good as the cover art from the second game.
#* The NA box art show Rayman doing an angry face and punching along with the sorcerer and his spires that are present in the background, which look really cool and epic.
#* The Europe cover art is just as epic, if not more iconic. This is because it show Rayman in an epic pose and the background is also amazing to look at, and also it feel epic and possibly even better than the NA cover art for some peoples, although it unfortunately doesn't feature the sorcerer but at least it still feature the hoodlums.
#* The HD remaster is just as epic as the NA cover art, and manage to update the Rayman design, and while it isn't as epic because of that, it still look amazing and overall one of the best art of the whole series.
# The game is way more challenging than ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', since now the combats are harder and sometime the platforming sections and puzzles are very challenging and tough, especially in the desert levels since in those levels, the knaarens are impossible to defeat, and the fact that the platforming in those levels require precision, it just make the game feel more challenging and thus make it the hardest 3D platformer of the franchise.
#* And even then, the game difficulty is very well balanced, not too hard nor too easy, even for the boss fights it isn't unbalanced and because of this, you will not get too much troubles to beat the game and you will get to practice it a lot.
# Ton of memorable quotes are present in this game, and most of those are very funny, exemples include:
## "'''Combat fatigues! That's exactly what we need! You're right'''" - Rayman
## "'''You were nicer in Rayman 2'''" - Globox
## "'''Bug off, fairy! Zelda needs you!'''" - André
## "'''Hey, Rayman, I didn't know you had a twin'''" - Globox
## "'''Yeah, and you almost didn’t wet yourself. You disgust me'''" - André
## "'''What’s yer problem? You afraid of girls?'''" - Begoniax
## "'''Alright, Ladies and Gents! Let's roll!'''" - Rayman
## "'''Aaah! They’re shootin’ at us! How original of them.'''" - Murfy
## "'''Get me a drink or I start nibbling his arteries'''" - André
## "'''A drink! Finally'''" - André
## "'''Aaah, there’s that pervert again!'''" - Begoniax
## "'''Excuse me, have you seen André?"'''" - Murfy
## "'''I was told that after ‘Rayman 2’ I’d be cast as a tormented artist who falls for a girl with great, big...eh...eyes. And here I am, still playing a sidekick in some low-budget flick! Yeesh'''" - Murfy
## "'''Hi, Rayman! What's up down there? Can't ya fly? Like everyone else?'''" - Globox
## "'''Sooo...if you still believe that Rayman is more sophisticated than me, I have a valid question. How many times has Rayman lost since the start of the game? Hm? Hmm? More than me, that's for sure, given I have never known defeat! Need I say more?'''" - Globox
## "'''What? This is out of control! The manual claims that you can make a chopper outta your hair. Make a chopper of your hair. Huh. Sounds like someone’s been eatin’ paint chips again'''" - Murfy
## "'''Globox? Globox? ANSWER ME!'''" - Murfy
# The controls are once again excellent, since they're just as tight and responsive as the previous games despite being slighly less responsive than the two previous main games and ''Rayman Arena'', they also are way faster which mean that if you disliked the speed of Rayman in the second game due to being slighly slow, here he is way faster to control and this make the game even more fun than before.
#* The lock system had also great controls and that system somehow manage to be an improvement over the one of ''Rayman 2's'', because not only it target the enemies or other things extremely well but also it is somehow easier to use it, since in ''Rayman 2'', it mostly target in the front direction, but here it can go to three directions: Right, Left and in front of the enemies, which obviously make it better and for the most parts it doesn't fail to target.
# The soundtrack is amazing and composed by Fred Leonard, Laurent Parisi and Plume, and the soundtrack is somehow even better than the music in the first two games, since not only it is catchy but also well composed and fit the game tone, such exemples include:
## Madder is a very cool intro theme song and is the only vocal song of the game, it is most likely the best theme song of the entire series and sound even better than the theme song of the [[Rayman: The Animated Series|1999 cartoon]] (which also sounded decent)
## Hoodoo Sorcerer is a very catchy song and while it doesn't really fit a fight battle with enemies and that it isn't heard a lot, it still sound amazing to the point of being the most well know song of the game and it also sound hilarous, which explain why this music is used in a lot of videos on the internet.
## Teensie Highway is mostly based on 80s style musics and is absolutely phenomenal to listen to and is probably one of the greatest song of the entire ''Rayman'' franchise, as not only it sound extremely catchy but it doesn't even feel repetitive and you might even want to fall constantly to heard this music, not only that but when you fall in those levels, you heard a very good jingle, which also sound catchy despite being short.
## Drunk Globox is probably the most funny song of the game, since much like a moment from a certain ''Asterix'' movie, Globox got drunk (often by the way) and the music really fit the situation and make the scenes of Globox being drunk even funnier, and show that back then, they could include almost everything that is mature into a game rated E/3+ (even if the HD remaster corrected the Pegi rating and was instead Pegi 7).
## Hoodstomper theme is one of the best song of the entire game, because it is so catchy and sound unforgettable too, and it fit the fight itself and even the game nature, and that's cool.
## Rayman Take Control is a very funny song (despite not being as funny as Drunk Globox), and somewhat fit the situation he is in that moment of the game, and when you heard this kind of musics in a game you know that it's a game that is very entertainning in both the humor and gameplay and show how much passions it went into the game.
## Know Where to Jump/Fly are both very identical but they still sound absolutely great and catchy, as well as managing to make the last parts stressful, also it make you know that you're in for the end of your adventure before fighting the final boss.
### The Know Where to Jump song is especially the best of them all because of the bass that is satistying to listen to.
## Hard Landing is a very catchy song and make it one of the best intro song of a first level, and it even appear to be the title screen theme, which is even better and the song is overall very memorable, much like the rest of the game.
## Reflux theme is very epic and is nothing short of memorable because it fit the character and it make the fight even more epic, even if it isn't even as epic as the final boss theme.
## The final boss theme is pretty much one of the best boss music in the game because of being very epic and it help that all of the fourth phases had slightly different sounding theme, and the fourth and final phase had a completely different theme that is just as catchy and epic, and all of them sound great.
# Rayman 3's levels are more straightforward and oriented towards action and combat rather than platform and exploration. And unlike many combat oriented platformers, the game is still enjoyable and still feels like a platformer thanks to the combat mechanics being well designed.
#* The levels are also shorter than the previous games since while it had 8 big levels, it had many sub levels that last 5 to 10 minutes in a similar vein to ''[[Pac-Man World 2]]'', which work very well for a ''Rayman'' game, and while most ''Rayman 2'' levels we're short too, they we're not designed to be completely straightforward and had lot of explorations, and although ''Rayman 3's'' now lack explorations (for the most parts), it still feel enjoyable and is just as good as ''Rayman 2'', thank to being well designed.
# Rather than shooting projectile orbs like in the previous game, Rayman returns to shooting his fists to attack enemies like in the first game, which is much more iconic to the character.
# The voice acting is great and a major step up from ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', since the voices are even better and fit the characters, the French dub in particular is even better than the previous game which already had an amazing dub and sounded impressive, here they are even more fitting but let's talk about both the english and french dub with more details in the sub pointers.
#* The english dub is once again very good and had voices that fit the characters as stated before, and while they sound calmer in this dub than the french version, they can still sound funny and fit the characters, by the way Murfy was voiced by Billy West in this game, in which he still do a good job at voicing Murfy, much like his voice for Rayman in the CGI cartoon.
#* The French dub howewer is excellent and much like ''[[Kao the Kangaroo: Round 2]]'' or even the ''Crash Bandicoot'' games, they sound very funny and fit every single characters, such as Rayman, Globox, Murphy and especially the Dark Lums inside Globox, which sound very funny and his lines never fail to make us laugh, also it is probably (though this depend on your opinion) the best French dub of the 2000s in video games history.
# It had lot of references to other medias, which wasn't present in the previous games, such moments include references from the previous games, ''Spider-Man 2'' and ''The Legend of Zelda'', those are also very funny.
# The game features sarcastic self-referential undertones and pokes fun at the platform video game genre, which differs from the light-hearted nature of its predecessors, this is also part of this game funny humor since while it pokes fun at the platforming genre, it still manage to never feel offensive and come of as hilarous, thank to being well though.
# The gag where Globox need to drink alcools is very hilarous and never fail to make us laugh, if slighly innapropriate for a kid game. And it once again show that this game don't fear of being a kid game.
# The bosses are pretty decent despite most of them being a downgrade from ''Rayman 2'', since not only they are challenging but also some of them are epic and the bosses overall had balanced difficulty, not too hard nor too easy.
#* The final boss of the game, Reflux is a very badass final boss and is extremely epic due to how challenging he is and because of the backgrounds and musics, and here it just as perfect as the final boss from ''Rayman 2'', which also had a very epic final boss, especially in the PS1 version where Razorbeard was challenging and epic, but now back to the final boss of ''Rayman 3'', he had four phases and they all are challenging in their own ways, and they all are fun to fight.
#** First phase involve him doing a lot of attacks that are rather hard to dodge, and the way you fight him is quite great and epic, to the point of feeling like one of the best boss ever.
#** The second involve him being even taller and had a massively big hand attack, and you hide in the lower ground platforms to avoid his attacks, until you got the red power, which is very fun, and it is very epic.
#** Third phase is the weakest phase of his fight but still epic because you had to get up on the platforms before they disappears, and it is quite challenging and also it was done in a unique way here, not like some of those bosses from the ''Mario'' franchise.
#** The fourth and final phase of his fight is different, yet still amazing and epic because you know that you're near the end of the final battle and that Reflux doesn't play around, here it is the rail shooter gameplay that return from the previous level before the boss, and it's once again challenging
# Instead of permanent upgrades to his abilities, Rayman can now find special "Laser Washing Powder" cans containing one of five temporary power-ups. When Rayman uses this power ups his outfit temporarily changes, and those are pretty fun to use and the game is designed with this in mind, and also make this game stand out from the other ''Rayman'' games.
# Lots of secrets and unlockables including cameos from the previous game and beta content from this game, which is still pleasant to discover.
# The rail levels are quite decent and a nice break from the platforming levels (which are still better). Those levels mostly appear when you finished a level and these are actually for teleporting you in the next levels, which is a nice and unique idea. The levels themself are also very fun because you can do 100% in them and jumping frop a platform to another is satistying.
#* You can even find the USS Enterprise from ''Star Trek'' in one of them, which is nice.
# Rayman can now shoot two fists at once, which makes combat much more fluent. It also makes swinging through rings a lot easier.
== Bad Qualities ==
# Globox, the Teensies, and Murfy are the only characters from ''Rayman 2'' that appear in person.
#* Not helping the fact that Murfy isn't seen in the entirety of the game since he abandon early in the game and even say "See you in Rayman 4", which didn't aged well due to that game being cancelled, (unless if you thinking about the GBA version of Raving Rabbids..)
# The animation in the in-game cutscenes is terrible, with the characters moving in a jagged, robotic way, and it also didn't aged well, even ''Rayman 2'' animation in game was slighly better, though the animated cutscenes are still decently animated.
# The lip-syncing in the game is inconsistent in most cases in the English version, in most cases the lips stop moving but the characters keep talking, however this problem does not occur in the French, Spanish, German, and Italian version of the game as the lip-syncing is much better in those versions.
# The game doesn't had any checkpoints in the levels, which is frustrating because if you get killed even at almost the end of a stage, then you will had to start over at the beginning, and if you had troubles to beat some levels, then you will take longer to beat the game.
# In some cases, the game can be very difficult and confusing in some of it's levels, and while it isn't as hard as the first game, it can still be very intense in difficulty, in a similar vein to ''[[Garfield: Saving Arlene]]''.
#* Sometime there's way too much enemies that can kill you and some of them are poorly placed, which doesn't help and can become tedious.
#* Not to mention that the levels don't really had any checkpoints since when you die, you restart all over the beginning of the sub level where you did die, which can be very annoying and can be frustrating, it doesn't help that you had only one life, much like the previous game.
# The Desert of Knaarens is an extremely disturbing level and is absolutely out of place for a ''Rayman'' game and feel more like that it come from a horror game, in which it make you wonder how the game even got rated E in the first place, though the remaster will fix this with a E+10/Pegi 7 instead, which fit it more.
#* In other cases, the lines from the knaarens are very scary for a kid game since they say creepy things that will probably make childrens having nightmare, and it show by the fact that it scared an entire generation of young kids.
#* The level itself is incredibly dark and edgy in a bad way to the point of being even darker than ''Rayman 2'', which was know for being a very dark game but even that game doesn't go as far as this level, and it doesn't help that the colors themself are very dark in this level (obviously).
#* In addition, when the knaarens hit you, they make a very scary effect when you approach them, which obviously can scare a lot of young childrens, and it doesn't help that their designs will scare young kids and in some cases, adults as well.
# Some of this game departure from the previous games can be a turn off for some fans, and is mostly one of the reason why for one period this game got a biased hatebase.
#* The stronger focus on combat gameplay can be alienating to fans of the previous two games, because if they liked the adventures focus in Rayman 2 and that they wanted this format back, then they will probably be dissapointed.
#* The fact that the game is more linear can be even more of a turn off, even if ''Rayman 2'' for the most parts was very linear.
# For some reasons, the HD remaster revomed the theme song.

=== Critical Reception ===
''Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc'' received generally positive reviews from critics. On Metacritic, the GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox and Windows versions of the game received aggregated scores of 77, 76, 75 and 74 respectively. On GameRankings, the GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox and Windows versions received scores of 78.08%, 80.19%, 76.91% and 78.31% respectively, making it the lowest rated main series ''Rayman'' game.
The game's impressive visuals and artistic style received universal praise. Its dialogue, voice acting and humour polarised reviewers, with some praising their wit. The gameplay was generally regarded as solid, but some criticized the game for focusing on combat and timer-based puzzles rather than platform.
Rayman's creator Michel Ancel wasn't directly involved in the game's development and said that while he liked the game, it was "a bit too concrete for [his] tastes", and that he "would have made the game differently".
== Game Tips ==
# Every five times you score points within the same combo chain, the combo points you get are doubled. Take advantage of this to score large amounts of points; for example grab five coins '''before''' killing an enemy.
# The first time you score points doesn't count towards combos so it's best to start a combo chain by scoring the lowest points available, usually grabbing a common coin.
# Combo chains last three seconds after grabbing a coin and six seconds after killing an enemy.
# Plan your attack strategy carefully when going into a combat section to maximize combo chains.
# Reading the game manual is highly recommended, as it contains information that is not given by Murfy or the tutorial (including the method of approaching the Tribelles , the presence of the Matuvus and the fact that the points collected are doubled if you use a laser detergent).

== Trivia ==
* A sound effect from the ''Rayman Dictations'' educational game collection was reused in Rayman 3. It can be heard in the game's menus when scrolling the cursor.
* The Fairy Council was mentioned in the first pages of the Rayman 2 manual. The Heart of the World was mentioned in Rayman 2, but did not appear in it.
* ''Rayman 3'' makes several references to the first Rayman game: Murfy 's Manual shows a reproduction of Rayman 's head when he was in 2D. An image of Livingstone is hung on the stakes where a plum must be planted . The mini-games 2D Madness and 2D Nightmare use 2D settings. Finally, one of Count Razoff's ancestors has chased Space Mama out of the City of Images.
* ''Rayman 3'' also makes many references to ''Rayman 2'', for exemple in the Crawdad Swamps, we again come across giant brambles. In Razoff 's Mansion, we can see sculptures representing the snake Sssssam. In the Knaaren Desert, we again face zombie chickens. In the Great Shortcut, a secret room contains a statue of the fairy Ly. Finally, in Hoodlums Headquarters, a secret room contains statues of Razorbeard and some Pirate Robots.
* John Leguizamo who voiced Globox in this game, also voiced Sid from the ''Ice Age'' series.

'''''Rayman: Hoodlum's Revenge''''' is a spin-off isometric platform game based on Rayman 3 that was released exclusively for the Game Boy Advance in 2005. It is the first and only game in the Rayman series to be played from an isometric viewpoint in what appears to be a 2D environment, while using 3D sprites.
== Plot ==
Taking place supposedly a short while after the events in ''Rayman 3'', the game begins with Rayman and Globox sleeping in the Fairy Council, when Globox's dreams are disturbed by the memory of him swallowing the Black Lum André. He is awakened by a strange sound, and goes off to search for its source. Later, Rayman awakens up to find that Globox is missing, and goes off to look for him.
== Good Qualities ==
# It is a direct sequel to ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'', and because of this and the fact that it is an isometric platformer, it is the closest to a new 3D platformer after that game release.
#* It could also be technically be considered to be a ''Rayman 4'' but it isn't the closest to that because of the GBA version of ''Raving Rabbids''.
#* It also feel like a true ''Rayman 3'' because the actual GBA version of that game was more based on ''Rayman 2'', but here it had not only the design and characters from the 3th game but also it had a similar gameplay.
# The gameplay is well done for an isometric platformer and is pretty fun, not to mention that unlike a ton of isometric platformers on this console, here it is easy to play and thus it make it one of the most playable isometric platformer of the console library.
#* Speaking about the gameplay, it even had the score mechanic from ''Rayman 3'', which was really well received, here it is just as fun to score a lot of points and this doesn't make the game feel repetitive, even if it obviously not as amazing as in ''Rayman 3''.
# The story, while not perfect and not as amazing as in ''Hoodlum Havoc'', is pretty fun because of the fact that André is once again the antagonist and that Rayman had to found a way to stop André from taking control of Globox, and the story still had plenty of humors, even if it isn't as present due to lack of voice acting because obviously it would not fit the cartridge and also, the GBA could not had full voice acting for the dialogues.
# Tight and responsive controls, and they are rather easy to get used to for an isometric platformer.
# Amazing soundtrack that fit the overall atmosphere of the game and they are very catchy to listen to, despite not having a lot of songs composed, such exemples would include "The Fairy Council", "Clearleaf Forest" and even "Begoniax Bayou".
# Once again, cool box arts for both regions, especially the NA one, which had a dark background with the hoodlums and Rayman doing a pose when escaping, which might hint that the game is dark (although it isn't as much as in ''Rayman 2'' and ''3'').
#* The PAL cover art is also good and is similar to the NA cover art of ''Rayman 3'', and is still epic, despite being a bit of a rehash.
# Decent graphics for a early 2005 GBA game, as they are colorful and the sprites make the characters look how they did in ''Rayman 3''.
# Globox is playable, a first for the series. And here it is puzzle mixed with beat em up gameplay since when the enemies show off, Globox run away, with the exception of when he's drunk, and it's pretty decent despite that the Rayman levels being more fun than those of Globox.
# A decent numbers of humorous quotes that doesn't make the game feeling too different from ''Rayman 3'', despite obviously not being as funny as that game.
#* It also still poke fun at the platforming genre, which is entairtaining even if it's not the same as the previous game.
# A decent numbers of levels are present and the number of levels is similar to that of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', which is cool despite that the game can be finished in only 2/3 hours.
# It is overall a good way to bring Rayman in the isometric platformer genre because despite not being the best ''Rayman'' game, it still a decent game on it's own and is still better than other mediocre Rayman games such as ''[[Rayman Rush]]''.
== Bad Qualities ==
# The bosses are mediocre and close to almost impossible to lose at them because not only they are defeated in only a minute or even shorter, but their paths are incredibly easy to learn and the bosses attacks are not that hard to dodge, in a similar vein to ''[[Kao the Kangaroo (2000)|Kao the Kangaroo]]'' on Dreamcast/PC.
#* The final boss is also terrible despite being Reflux, the final boss of the previous game where he was very badass and you might think that he will be just as awesome as he was in ''Rayman 3'', wrong! Here he is just as bad as the other boss because of not only the music that doesn't fit a final boss, but also because his attacks are way too easy to dodge and you can defeat him in only a minute or less, which is extremely dissapointing and make you wonder if this boss was even finished.
# While André is present in this game, we doesn't see him anywhere in the game and is not as funny as he was in ''Hoodlum Havoc'', nor as great as a character, despite still being decent and being a treat to Globox.
# The game difficulty is completely unbalanced because sometime the levels are way too easy (for the most parts), but some of the levels are very frustrating and are very tedious to finish, in fact it is even worse than ''Rayman 3'' GBA port because here for the most parts, the game is way too easy.
#* It is too easy because not only there's checkpoints everywhere (which is an improvement over ''Rayman 3'', but still there's too much of them), but also the continues are unlimited, not to mention that the enemies are barely a treat and can be defeated easily, at least for most of them.
# Some of the puzzles are annoying and require way too much skills to discover how to get them right.
# Despite the good number of levels, the game is still rather short, as it last only for 2 to 3 hours.
== Reception ==
Hoodlum's Revenge received mixed or average reviews, with Metacritic scoring a 61/100, and GameRankings with a 59%. It also got a 6.5 from IGN and a 7.3 from GameSpot. Gamepro magazine gave the game a score of 3/5 praising the game music and sound effects although criticizing the linear and repetitive gameplay and the isometric camera angle making it difficult to navigate through the levels. Critics appreciated the new isometric play-style, but criticized the game for being too short.
== Trivia ==
* On the North American box art of the game, there is a typographical error whereby the apostrophe is placed between the word ‘Hoodlum’ and the letter ‘s’, making the subtitle seem as if there is only one Hoodlum rather than a group of them.
* Although this is not a Game Boy Advance version of Rayman 3 (but rather, a direct sequel), it does mark many Rayman 3 characters' first and only appearance on handheld, many of which were absent from the actual Game Boy Advance version of Rayman 3. These characters include Reflux, Roméo Patti (referred to as Doc), and Bégoniax (though there was a level in the Game Boy Advance version of Rayman 3 called Swamp of Bégoniax but the character never actually appeared). It is possibly André's first appearance in a handheld game, although the Black Lum swallowed by Globox in Rayman 3 may be him, simply unnamed and with a smaller role. André does not strictly appear in this game, as he merely possesses Globox.
* There is an inconsistency in Roméo's appearance in this game. He gives his name as "Doc", not Roméo, and Rayman does not appear to recognise him, despite meeting him in Rayman 3.
* In the first level, Rayman tells Murfy that he has been able to use his helicopter power all his life. However, he did not have that ability at the start of the first game.
* At one stage in the game, Globox (or, rather, André controlling him), mentions the Titanic, a real-world ocean liner which sunk after a collision with an iceberg between Southampton (United Kingdom) and New York (United States) in 1912. This is one of the few occasions when real-world events are referenced in the Rayman series.

'''''Rayman Origins''''' is a platform video game developed and published by [[Ubisoft]] for the [[PlayStation 3]], [[Wii]], [[Xbox 360]], [[PlayStation Vita]], [[Microsoft Windows]], [[Nintendo 3DS]], and OS X. It is the fourth main installment in the ''Rayman'' series, and the first main installment since 2003's ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. It's the first ''Rayman'' game released since a long hiatus caused by the ''Raving Rabbids'' games.
==Plot==
One peaceful day, Rayman and his friends hang out at the Snoring Tree. Unknown to them, a hidden microphone makes their snoring and noises loud and obnoxious to the inhabitants of the Land of the Living Dead. Soon, they get fed up and invade the Glade of Dreams tossing the entire realm into chaos and imprisoning the nymphs and Electoons. Rayman and co. soon escape and the Magician from the first game offer them Electoons in exchange of Lums.
After rescuing all the nymphs, a mysterious fortress called "Moody Clouds" appears and the kings of each land mutate into horrible monsters. Once the kings are returned to normal and Rayman's friends reach the heart of Moody Clouds they find out that the Magician (a Rayman 1 character who gave the player hints throughout this game to collect Lums) was behind Moody Clouds' creation, and that he was a follower of Mr. Dark. It's implied he was using the Lums collected throughout the game by Rayman to power up his mechanical fortress and take over the Glade of Dreams.
With his cover up blown, Rayman and co. chase the Magician until he accidentally destroys the core of Moody Clouds, causing the entire fortress to explode. Rayman then goes to the Land of the Living Dead to return their queen to normal and restore peace to the Glade of Dreams.
==Why It Rocks==
# The graphics and art-style are absolutely beautiful, especially for 2011 standards. It's worth mentioning that thanks to Ubisoft's new engine, UbiArt Framework, and due to its art-style, character and enemies designs have looks like a cel-shaded animation, the color palette is really spectacular and appealing to see and it feels like you're playing an animated series, to the point that this game is often considered one of the best-looking games for consoles, especially on the [[Nintendo 3DS]], [[Wii]], and [[PlayStation 3]] versions.
# Challenging and difficult yet very fun gameplay. Some of the levels, such as the Tooth Gem chases are designed to require high paced platforming skills, Also, this game has a lot of fun, which would make you want to invite your friends over to your house to see how you play this game and also if you are playing with a friend or brother, they can attack their teammates for comic relief without actually harming them.
#* Also, there are unlimited lives and frequent checkpoints to ensure the game's high difficulty doesn't become frustrating.
#* Up to four players can play the game in a drop-in-drop-out co-op mode.
# Doors in the game have an eye ball that makes a hilarious groaning noise when you punch them.
# Fantastic and unforgettable soundtrack and music composed by Christophe Héral and Billy Martin. It would make you want to try to get it stuck in your head or play the levels longer to listen to the music, or even go to YouTube and download the music on your computer, phone or tablet.
# The controls are tight, fluid, and responsive and you can get used to it easily. Also, the swim controls are surprisingly good and keep you moving smoothly and without discomfort. Other examples include your vertical momentum stopping when you hit in the air (which can rarely be problematic) and when you run you will move faster than other platform games.
# The level designs are elegantly excellent, beautiful and fantastic, and best of all, it seems that it was designed by some teenage Rayman fans with help who have a style to make the levels perfect. There are many details that you can see in the game, they are both here by the standards of this genre. Arguably, the best examples are Jibberish Jungle and Sea of Serendipity, which are so unimaginably beautifully-designed that it literally looks like it was designed in over a month.
#* There are even Electoon levels that have an unimaginably adorable design that will give you too much cuteness to see them, since the Electoons seen in the levels are chubby, and they are terribly cute.
# Lots of hidden goods and rooms with Electoon cages.
# The Moskito riding levels are a fun homage to the first game.
# The cinematics of the game are absolutely entertaining. For example, in the beginning of the game, Rayman, Globox and the Teensies are resting but are making noise and the residents of the Land of the Livid Dead are bothered by the noises. An old zombie lady is particularly angry about it but an old man supports it, causing the lady to get more upset and start throwing too many things at him. Then, when Rayman wakes up with the old man's skull in his hand, everyone screams and Rayman and his companions attack but fail and are caged up. They are so funny that they almost resemble a Cartoon Network or Disney XD cartoon, making you to see many of them.
# Similar to [[Crash Bandicoot: Warped]], if you have finished a level, there will be a Time Trial Mode (where you can win an Electoon and record), and it is a surprisingly good addiction, even like the invasion modes in Rayman Legends. You can do speedruns and it's perfect for gamers if they want to set a world record.
# The player is rewarded for collecting lots of lums with cages at the end of each level.
# Good IA; the enemies from the original game return and the game introduces many enemies which are often just as goofy and colorful as the classic ones.
# It has a decent replay value, despite being repetitive, especially for players who like to play this game.
# Loading screens allow the player to control their character to keep them occupied while the game loads. And even then loading screens are short (except 3DS version).
# Wacky and fun boss fights that test your reflexes and are very creative.
# Many unlockable character skins, including Raymesis, Glombrox, and the Grand Minimus.
# Obtaining all the Tooth Gems unlocks a hidden, very challenging level ending with a fight against an additional boss.
==Bad Qualities==
# '''Plot hole:''' Why did the Magician turn evil?
# The only playable characters are Rayman, Globox, and the Teensies. So when playing with 4 players at least two will have to share a character skin, which can make it easy to get confused which is yours.
# While the 3DS version is a surprisingly good, spectacular and impressive version and the controls are solid, it has some flaws:
#* While the graphics are fine and the environments are still pleasing to look at, the game's resolution suffers due to the game being crunched onto the 3DS' small screen.
#* It has loud and unpleasant sound to listen to. Particularly, it sounds like a phone call or cell phone music from the 1990s with a 144p sound and may be irritating to listen to, especially if you are wearing headphones, similar to the terrible version of ''[[Resident Evil: Revelations 2]]'' on [[PlayStation Vita]].
#* Unlike other versions that have a loading screen to obtain a heart and move your character freely while loading, it is absent in this version due to the weak hardware.
#** To make matters worse, if you wear one skin or another, it will load, which is '''unacceptable''' in a platform game.
#* None of the Teensies are playable in the game, meaning Rayman and Globox are the only two types of characters that are playable.
#* Low frame rate which, although playable, leaves a little to be desired.
# Like the original, the game often twists from easy to hard. Many of the main levels are easy to beat, but the last Tricky Treasure and final levels are really hard.
# Collecting enough Lums to get a medal at all levels is very difficult because some of the Lums require perfect jumps to reach them, especially at Moskito levels. '''Also, dying will also force you to retrieve the Lums.'''
# Some fans and gamers might find the humor weak.
#* Speaking of which, the parts where the player saves the Nymphs with porno like music playing are very inappropriate even for Rayman standards.
#One aspect of controls is an issue: hitting multiple times in the air before landing will cause you to fall. This is normally fine, but this also affects you in wind, and during the second boss there are multiple waves of enemies you have to hit without being able to land, meaning the controls often kill you.

'''''Rayman Legends''''' is a 2013 platform video game developed by Ubisoft Montpellier and published by [[Ubisoft]]. It is the fifth main title in the ''Rayman'' series and the direct sequel to the 2011 game ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. The game was released for [[Microsoft Windows]], [[PlayStation 3]], [[Wii U]], [[Xbox 360]], [[PlayStation Vita]], [[PlayStation 4]], [[Xbox One]], [[Nintendo Switch]], and Stadia.
==Plot==
Rayman and his friends fell into a hundred-year-long nap. During that time, the nightmares took control of the Glade of Dreams and imprisoned the Teensies, while the Magician splitted into 5 beings known as the Dark Teensies. Murphy awakens the legendary heroes who, along with their new ally Barbara the barbarian, must rescue the Teensies and defeat the Dark Teensies.
==Why It's Legendary==
#This game is a massive improvement over ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' (on itself a great game), with extremely updated graphics, more levels, purple lums that give you double lums and improved controls, which still has the same charm and a perfect return.
#The controls are improved in almost every way while remaining identical. Momentum is no longer halted when attacking in the air, momentum and distance from small attacks are increased, you can hit while walking without stopping, and you no longer plummet after attacking more than once. You can crush on the spot without jumping first, the super punch winds up MUCH faster, and the turnaround speed is quicker. The swimming controls remain identical, but you can now attack without a speed boost if you want, making it less difficult to avoid hazards. Finally, enemies no longer bubbilise, meaning the pace is faster and you can't lose lums unfairly. Even the mosquito controls are more responsive in the origins levels.
#The graphics and art-style are still absolutely beautiful, on par with ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', ''[[Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time]]'', or even ''[[Hollow Knight]]''. The color palette is very vivid and quite appealing to look at. Also, the character designs were improved, as you see them you will notice that they look extremely stylish and polished. You would even want to look at them for so long by just playing the game for a long hours, or even watching videos and stopping them on YouTube just to look at them, to the point that this game is often considered one of the best-looking games for consoles.
#Incredible and fun gameplay, Each world includes unique gimmicks to make them different from the rest. For example, two levels in Fiesta de los Muertos have the players literally become ducks (which make the characters look very hilarious) through the duration of the level, which would make you want to invite your friends to your house to see how you play this game.
#The amount of levels is insanely good, unlike other modern platform games like ''[[Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time]]''. That game had 100 levels, while ''Rayman Legends'' has 28 levels, 28 invasions mode, 2 levels to have Barbara costumes in 6 worlds (that in total there are 10 levels to have Barbara skins), 6 music levels (including in the 8-bit version that in total are 12 music levels), which in total is '''122''' levels if you count the 72 platform levels, 40 levels of ''Rayman Origins'' and 10 bosses. All this means that you will complete the game in less than 15 hours.
#Great and fantastic soundtrack composed by Christophe Héral. It would make you want to try to get it to your head or play the levels longer to listen to the music, or even go to YouTube and download the music on your computer, phone or tablet.
#700 Teensies (826 Teensies in the Nintendo Switch version) to rescue, the latter of this could give you a character.
#At the end of each level, if the player finds enough Lums they obtain Lucky Tickets, which give the player more lums, teensies, creatures, and unlock ''Rayman Origins'' levels.
#All the power ups from the previous game are unlocked from the start.
#Just like with the previous game, the game has unlimited lives and frequent checkpoints to balance its difficulty.
#The introduction of Barbara effectively gives 4 different playable characters (not counting alternate skins), making it easier for players to tell their characters from the rest in co-op mode.
#The level designs are unbelievably fantastic, very stylized, but also unimaginably beautiful; that have excellent use, and at worst it looks like it was designed by 5 college students skilled in designing in 5 weeks, there are a lot of details that you can see in the game, which are both here for the standards of this genre. The best is Fiesta de los Muertos, which is so creatively impressively-designed.
#Murphy can interact with switches and obstacles to assist the player in many levels. In the Wii U, PS Vita, and Nintendo Switch versions an additional player can take control of Murphy with the Gamepad allowing a total of 5 players at once. The other versions control Murphy with a specified button which makes the Murphy mechanic quick-reflex based.
#Like ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'', There is a famous glitch called "Murphy Reset Glitch"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knL0CPkH2VE ''Rayman Legends'' - ''Murphy Reset Glitch'']</ref>, and not only that, it also works for the daily and weekly challenges in "The Endless Pit: As Far As You Can!" and you can easily win a diamond cup, which glitch is really useful for some people and players.
#*Better yet, the glitch has never been patched, which is worth it and also using this glitch in challenges is not bannable!
#Lots of secrets within the levels, including two puzzle minigames in every level which reward the player with teensies when completed.
#Surprisingly good and awesome 2.5D boss battles.
#Invasion stages have you complete alternate versions of regular levels with enemies from other worlds within 40 seconds, what it does is to rescue tiny ones before they fly so as not to be late.
#*Also, many players beat quite challenging world records, just like Challenges.
#The addition of Rhythm based levels, which are unlocked by defeating the main bosses. Rhythm Levels also have harder version where special effects affect your view so you must guide yourself with the music's tempo to navigate the level.
#*Observant players will also notice that some of the music used in the rhythm stages are loosely (some more obviously) based off of well known real life songs, including "Black Betty", "Antisocial", and a mariachi rendition of "Eye of the Tiger" (That partially music is a movie from the 80s called ''Rocky III'') of all songs.
#The Kung Foot minigame offers a fun multiplayer game.
#*Also, in the Nintendo Switch version, you can play a new Kung-Foot and CPU to practice, which makes it very enjoyable to play.
#'''Great replay value:''' You can play many times you want and that you will never be bored for many years, the fun and entertaining experience and the great content that this game has and even better, for the first time, it has an online challenge mode (see # 22).
#Large amount of unlockable character skins.
#*Or also Champion Ray that you can unlock if you play every day and get a ton of diamond cups and most importantly '''you can be VIP!'''.
#Weekly and Daily online challenges, which adds more replay value.
#*Speaking of which, Daily and Weekly Challenges are a perfect addiction to winning too many cups the next day, and sometimes players will challenge you to a challenge for a record, and to this day, players continue to play these fun and addictive challenges.
#*Like ''[[Dragon's Dogma]]'', ''Resident Evil: Revelations 1'' & ''2'', and ''[[Apex Legends]]'', an online subscription service is not required to play the challenges online.
#On the Nintendo Switch version, the WiiU style levels where you control Murphy are made into alternate versions on a new world, "''Murphy's Touch''", allowing those levels to also be played regularly.
#*Also exclusive to the Nintendo Switch version, '''all the characters''' that were once exclusive to each platform like the Assassin's Creed and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell skins now all come together on the Switch. Making it the only version to include every single character skin ever in the game.
#The character designs in the game are very unique and eye-candy and are varied in color scheme. Examples include Raymesis (being the most popular skin), Selena, Raybox, and Golden Teensy. These designs help make the game stand out from other Platform games and give the game a different feel.
#The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions have no loading times, for example, if you enter any level or invasion or to enter to put a skin, it will not load immediately.
#40 levels from Origins are included for nothing on top of the base game, which is 2/3 of the original game, fully updated with the new artstyle, exclusive features, and teensies. Most of the main levels are there, including all bosses and mosquito levels, and half the tricky treasure stages.
==Bad Qualities==
#The plot is dull, unappealing, and close-to-nonexistent. What it's basically about is that 5 Dark Teensies invade the Glade of Dreams. Although it may be somewhat flashy, there are many flaws, for example:
#*Repetitive pacing, since in the levels there is the Dark Teensie trying to capture the female Teensie, what makes her a "damsel-in-distress" and also another example is when the Dark Teensie is putting gasoline on the wings and then calling the monsters, however, its absolutely tiring, since it repeats the same time and again, since there are 12 times, more with 6 times capturing female Teensie and 6 times calling the monsters.
#*Compared to Origins there is a lack of cohesion and progressiveness. No abilities are unlocked this time, and the levels and worlds are ALL completely isolated with no linking segments like the mosquito or ending areas in origins. There are also no special rare items like the skull teeth that are hard to get but unlock a special level. This further enhances the lack of a plot.
#*'''Very disappointing ending''': unlike other bosses when you defeat them, they show you a funny cinematic, since after defeating the final boss, it will not show you a cinematic after defeating him and also when you hit the last Dark Teensie everyone is stuck in space. The holes in the moon, while hilarious, this makes it unsatisfying and boring to watch.
#Sometimes, the effects used during the 8-bit Rhythm Levels can get eye-straining, especially Orchestral Chaos 8-bit Edition.
#The PlayStation Vita version is the record holder for the slowest loading times.
#The difficulty is more fun focused than origins, and as such tends to be too easy in places. Unlike origins the final reward is not an ultimate difficult level, but simply more music levels.
#additionally, all of the rayman origins levels that are included were made significantly easier, by removing most hazards and enemies, and adding platforms. This may upset those who desire a challenge.
#Nitpick: some Origins levels aren't 100% accurate, in that the level best original score has a secret area that's swapped out for a later one for no reason, and the levels freaking flipper and swimming with the stars are played in reverse order to their Origins appearances. Finally, nearly all level select areas use music taken directly from Origins, but the desert of dijiridoos one uses a brand new song exclusive to that area, which is strange that they gave it special treatment.
#Some of the level choices from rayman origins aren't the best options, while some of the better levels are left out. Also the music played when saving a cage in Origins is strangely removed from legends, instead being limited to the mosquito levels only.
#Nowadays, there may be some daily and extreme challenges are very frustrating and difficult, Although the "As far as you can!" they are not as difficult as the others.
#*Like ''[[Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy]]'', Diamond Cups are very hard, inconsistent and sometimes insufferable to obtain due to his reward of 50 points for awesomeness, and this makes obtaining Diamond Cups more '''difficult''', as records increase further.
#*Grab them Quickly!, while not a terrible challenge, is considered really inferior and boring (except for The Dojo).
#Although the difficulty is balanced and a funny AI, The AI is extremely lazy, very delayed, mediocre, and it even feels unfinished. For example, in almost all levels, there are some enemies that are just standing and nothing else, and if you try to chase you, it will not move either, it will just hit you without moving, which becomes easier than balanced. Fortunately, the bosses have decent AI.
#*Also, the levels where you control Murphy can get frustrating because the AI controlling your character tends to be uncooperative and sometimes extremely unresponsive. This makes the Wii U/PS Vita/Switch (Handheld mode only) Murphy levels rather unfun compared to other editions. The Switch port of those levels can't be played in TV mode.
#The "Definitive Edition" was only released on the Switch, locking other platforms out of its extra content.
#*Also, despite said version being 'Definitive', it has issues. It does not have instant load times like the PS4/XBO/PC ports of the game, camera mode (despite the Switch and Xbox One allow to share the capture), and removed the ability to warp to the great hall for no reason at all, making it more annoying to retrace your steps.
#The amount of grinding required to get the final characters and trophies is ridiculous and not fun.
#The music, while really good, is somewhat lacking compared to Origins.

===Critical reception===
''Rayman Legends'' was met with an overwhelmingly positive reception from critics and users alike. The game has been widely praised for its level design, graphics, controls, gameplay, soundtrack, and character design were highly praised.
On OpenCritic, the game received a rating of "Mighty" an average score of 90/100 and a 97% critics recommend, based on 62 reviews.<ref name="OC" />
This game along with prequel are frequently praised as being "some of the best 2D platformers ever made that aren't ''Mario'' or ''Sonic''" and were very well received by the fans for having ''Rayman'' return to its platforming roots.
==Trivia==
*The game was originally going to be a Wii U exclusive title but due to the console's poor sales, Ubisoft decided to delay the game and release the game with the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions simultaneously. It did infuriate some fans because the Wii U version was already finished.
*This game was announced at Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2012 for Wii U and was planned for release during the console's launch window. However, the game was delayed to February 2013 in order to finish the game on time, and due to the financial failure of ''ZombiU'', the release was delayed again by six months and the game was made multi-platform.
*Mysteriously, they were planning an other world called "Chateau Dracula", which is Dracula's castle, but. Michel Ancel, the responsible from the creator of Rayman, revealed the design he was in, but it was eventually scrapped due to time constraints.

This page only focus on the console versions, for the GBA and DS ports pages, [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (GBA)|click]] [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Nintendo DS)|here]].
== Why Do Bunnies Think This Game Rocks ==
# This is the first appearance of the Rabbids, and they’re funny and cute, but stupid.
# Solid controls, even for 2006 standards.
# Decent graphics. (For Wii, PS2, and PC version only)
# The Xbox 360 is the best version of the game, because it has colorful and clean graphics, 2 exclusive minigames, and it has unique loading screens.
# A lot of the minigames are really enjoyable and they are especially hilarious.
#* "Bunnies don't ___" can be very funny due to their stupidity like:
#** Don't know what to do with cows.
#** Milk cows
#** can't fly
#* However, "Bunnies likes" could be reason they like.
#** stuff themselves
#** and '''they can dance'''
# When you get more plungers, Rabbids will cheer on you, and Serguei will no longer throw you back to your cell.
# The DS and GBA version of the game is a platform game instead of the party version.
#* GBA version does feel like an actual "Rayman 4".
# Overall, this is a great way to start the Rabbids franchise, even though it was milked by Ubisoft.
== Bad Qualities ==
# While the game is good, the Rabbids completely ruined Rayman, and it's mostly the reason why they are hated nowadays.
# Some of the mini games is downright weird
#* "Bunnies Don’t Use Toothpaste" is a gross out creepy minigame due to worms giving the player a creepy smile and the Rabbid’s teeth, and later versions of it shows a Rabbid's nauseatingly green bad breath. This is notable for frightening younger players and leaving most players disgusted.#
#* Bunnies don't give gifts, which also makes you in pain when you make Rayman run to give the Rabbid a bomb.
# The ending isn't that great as Rayman realized that he accidentally left the Globoxes behind and he stupidly jumps into the hole to save them when he could have taken the main path back to the coliseum to retrieve them.
# The Xbox 360 version, while considered the best, has 3 achievements that are completely broken & unobtainable, Fast forward 17 years since the release, they are likely to never be officially fixed, possibly because the Xbox 360 is obsolete & its games no longer receive updates.
== Trivia ==
* This is the first and last time we see Serguei.
* The GBA version and the DS version are both platformers/party but they are different from each other. The GBA version's structure resembles the closest to the scrapped Rayman 4 prototype. The DS version is the same soundtrack as the console/PC versions and features minigames that many are based on the console/PC versions. The minigames of the DS version can also be unlocked in extra mode and the score as many points as you can. In some minigames of the console/PC versions and the DS version the Rabbids are playable.
* The handheld versions were intended as both Platformer and Party games. The console/PC versions (All ports) is strictly a Party game.
* The Xbox 360 port of the game has cleaner graphics and animation, as well as additional visual details throughout, plus 2 exclusive minigames that replace "Bunnies have natural rhythm". The PC version does not include these graphical enhancements.
* This was one of the first ever games released on the Wii.
* In score mode on some of the mini games if two players are playing, there is a glitch where when player 1 wins and player 2 loses the game thinks player 2 has won.
* In the Wii version, the instruction screen features a Rabbid holding a Wii remote demonstrating the player how to use it in a particular minigame. In all other ports however, it shows the respective platform's controller, highlighting which buttons, sticks and keys are used to play different minigames. This is done because the Wii uses motion controls, so highlighting buttons doesn't work all too well.

|Prequel= ''Rayman: Hoodlum Revenge''}}
'''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]''' is a platformer based on the console game of the same name, released in 2006 on [[Game Boy Advance]]. The gameplay and adventure are almost identical to those of the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3''. It is the only game featuring the Rabbids in a universe traditional to the ''Rayman'' series.
== Plot ==
Rayman is taking a nap when suddenly some rabbits take him by surprise, lock him in a prison somewhere in the Dark World, and hide his hands there to deprive him of his powers. Now it's up to Rayman to find the different costumes and finally face the flagship of the crazy rabbits.
== Why It's The True Rayman 4 ==
# First half, the graphics are really great and and even better than ''[[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Rayman 3]]'' and especially a huge improvement over the graphics from ''Hoodlum Revenge'', as they are detailed, colorful and had great sprite work, it also look better than most 2006 DS game because of how great the graphics are.
#* The animation are very fluid and detailled for a Game Boy Advance game, not to mention that with the already amazing sprite work, it make it even better.
#* The stage designs also look amazing and take elements from the cancelled ''Rayman 4'' (which will be talked about in the next pointers), they already looked amazing and they managed to make a great transition to 2D, they also are colorful.
#Solid controls, Rayman is once again very responsive and the controls are very simple to learn, the jump control is once again excellent and the controls are once again incredibly tight where it will never feel unresponsive or clunky, thank to how well programmed the game is.
# This is the closest we can get to an official ''Rayman 4'' (well if you don't count the fan game ''Rayman Raving Rabbids: Reburrowed'' that is a recreation of the ''Rayman 4'' prototype), due to some of the following reasons:
#* First off, the rabbids designs are closer than their early design and are way more villain than in the console versions and feel more like crazy rabbids than the console versions much like the original ''Rayman 4'', while in the console versions they just kidnap Rayman to get entertainment.
#* The worlds are all taken from the prototype and had a close ressemblence to the original game.
#* There's the costumes that we're gping to be present in the original game until it was cancelled, and they are useful and accuratd to their original ability in the prototype.
#* Also, the game is a platformer instead of a party game, making it feel even more like a true ''Rayman 4''.
# The cutscenes art style is pretty nice and detailled for a 2006 GBA gameand somehow managed to be better than those of ''Rayman 3'' because in that game, it was mostly pixelated images of the console versions but here it is fully draw for fitting on a GBA game.
# The soundtrack is decent because of being catchy, though it is very flawed (see BQ#2).
# Fun gameplay that is challenging but still fair and it had even more solid gameplay than even ''Rayman 3'' for the GBA, because not only the controls somehow manage to be slighly better but also it had more things to it, such as costumes, those include:
#* Gangster: Has a very powerful jump, enabling Rayman to break or smash certain elements on the ground.
#* Punk: Can glue objects or enemies with the help of his chewing gum.
#* Grandmother: Drops carrots on the ground, which distract the Rabbids while they eat them.
#* Rocker: Capable of very powerful close attacks with his guitar.
#* Funky: Has a glowing fist, even stronger than Rayman's fully charged fist.
# Good level design that is more focused on speed rather than being careful like in ''Rayman 3'', which is mostly because the levels are shorter and that you sometime need to get fast reflexions to beat the enemies before they hit you, also the fact that the levels are shorter can be a good thing for some peoples even though it make the game incredibly short.
# The story is much better than the console versions, since instead of being captured for the rabbids entertainment, here they just are evil rabbids that are way better and even had a very evil plan to stop Rayman, in fact it is mostly because they are based from their darker designs in the ''Rayman 4'' prototype, and because of that and the mostly scary feel of the game, it is way darker than the console versions and is as dark as ''Rayman 2''.
# Awesome bosses, they might be a bit easy but they are still awesome because they feel epic due to not only their awesome theme but also for their paths being fairly challenging to learn, and for being even better than the previous ''Rayman'' games on the GBA.
# There's way more gameplay variaty than in not only the console versions (which we're fairly varied and decent) but also ''Rayman 3'', because there's the race levels and sometime, you had the shooting gallery where you need to shoot on a certain number of rabbids for being allowed to pass but howewer that phase is flawed.
# The ending is better than in the console versions.
== Bad Qualities ==
# The game over is extremely disturbing, because of the music that play for not only the continue (which by the way feel like it come from a bad GBA game, which we will talk about in the next bad quality), but also the game over that is incredibly disturbing because of the music and how it look, in fact younger childrens might be scared of it.
#* Not to mention that because of how disturbing the music is, it might even make you get nightmare if you are easily disturbed, and the game over is way more disturbing than in the other games, in other words, it is probably the most disturbing thing that come from a ''Rayman'' game.
# The soundtrack, while it is decent and had it's fair amount of awesome tunes such as the bosses theme, it is flawed because the majority of the tracks sound terribly quiet and some musics are downright generic.
#* Some of the tunes are awful and disturbing, one exemple being both the continue and game over screen that sound horrendous and could scare little kids, as stated before.
# It can sometime being a very frustrating game because of some levels being poorly designed or at least confusing because there's backtraking due to a required number of cages to be destroyed, and if you don't get the required number, you cannot fight the boss of the world, which is annoying and is way worse than these kind of things in ''Rayman 3''.
# The shooting gallery is poor because of the fact that you had very little vision on where the rabbids are, the time given is way too short and sometime they get away too quickly, resulting it being stupidly difficult.
== Reception ==
''Rayman Raving Rabbids'' received mixed reviews by critics who feel that it is a rehash of ''Rayman 3'', and criticized it for being too short, howewer it received mixed to positive reviews by gamers who prefer it from the console and DS version, they praised the fact that the game feel like an actual ''Rayman 4'', and praised the gameplay and graphics.
== Trivia ==
* At the beginning of the game, Rayman loses his hands similarly to ''Rayman 3''.
* The name of the Dream Forest in this game is very similar to that of the Dream Forest in the original Rayman game, but the two should not be confused.
* As the game is a later title in the Game Boy Advance library, it is the first game in the Rayman series for the handheld console to carry an in-game health and safety warning at the beginning of the game, after the language selection screen.
* The handheld version of Rayman Raving Rabbids is the only version to have recurring characters from the Rayman series, aside from the titular character.
* This version of the game is also the only version that keeps the Gangster outfit’s unique body shape, as seen in promotional material.
* This is the only version to have the Rabbids speak English, although it is unknown why this creative decision was made.
* The environments and costume abilities are adapted from a cancelled version of Rayman 4, developed by Phoenix Interactive.
* This is the only version of the game that gives the Rabbids a reasoning for threatening peace in their home.
* The character Pink, despite not appearing throughout most of the game, does take an appearance unique from his console counterpart, bearing a short tempered attitude and an eyepatch. The differing appearance is nothing out of the ordinary for Pink’s character, as his appearance changed drastically throughout the development of the Ray Raving Rabbids as a whole, and can be witnessed through the Rayman 4 prototype, as well as various promotional material.

'''''Rayman Raving Rabbids''''' is a portable version of the console game of the same name which was released for the Nintendo DS in 2007. Unlike both the console versions and the Game Boy Advance version, this game uses 3D graphics but plays as a sidescroller throughout the majority of the game. Like the console version there are several minigames which have to be completed to progress.
== Plot ==
Similar to the console version, Rayman is relaxing in the forest, until the Rabbids, which are invading the planet, capture him and take him away to face the many challenges awaiting him in the Colosseum. Once there he is forced to play through their challenges to earn trophies, which will eventually let him face Rabble Droid. The game ends with Rayman celebrating his victory with the Rabbids.
== Bad Qualities ==
# While itself it's not a bad game, it is a big downgrade from the GBA version since the platforming is less great and more stiffer, and also the gameplay is slighly more boring than the GBA and console versions.
# It also feel like a rehash of ''Rayman 2'', but in 2D and much worse, mostly because it is less fun than that game, even if this one is still better than the actual ''Rayman 2'' port of the DS.
# The levels are overly long and are very boring, not to mention that there's barely any challenges in all the levels, unlike the GBA port that was well made.
# The rabbids doesn't even had that much roles to the story, and it's even worse than in the GBA port because they barely appear here, and the bosses aren't even themself, which is dissapointing.
# Awful graphics that are some of the worst looking from the ''Rayman'' franchise, as they are extremely blurry and the models look somehow even worse than in ''[[Rayman DS]]'', as well as having washed out colors, terrible art style for the second screen and the art style in-game isn't really bad, just it wasn't adapted to the DS capacity, as a result, the game look blurry as stated earlier.
# Compressed musics, much like in ''[[Rayman DS]]''.
# The game is barely even challenging, as there's unlimited lives and the enemies aren't even that hard to kill, and their attacks are extremely easy to dodge, as a result it is one of the easiest ''Rayman'' game ever, along with ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape (GBC)|Rayman 2 Forever]]''.
# Rather short length, lasting only 4 hours, and it doesn't help that the game had little to no replay values.
== Good Qualities ==
# The rabbids in the backgrounds can still be hilarous, even if they barely even appear in the game at all.
# It can still be fun to play at times, especially that the controls are tight and responsive and the 2D gameplay is mostly based on ''Rayman 2'', which is an interesting but poorly executed idea.
# Tight controls.
# The soundtrack, despite being compressed, is still pretty good to listen to, since after all, most of it is taken from the console versions.
== Reception ==
The DS version of ''Raving Rabbids'' received mixed reviews by critics and is one of the lowest rated Rayman game on Metacritic, with a score of 56/100, which is the lowest rated version of the game.

'''''Rayman M''''', known in North America as '''''Rayman Arena''''', is a party video game developed and published by Ubi Soft. A spin-off of the ''Rayman'' series, it features two modes in which players control one of the nine characters.
Note: This page only focus on the 6th gen consoles game, for ''Rayman Rush'', [[Rayman Rush|click here]].
== Development ==
Rayman M was originally separated into two projects: Rayman Tribe and Rayman Shooting Fish, which would turn into the game's modes. Rayman M was announced in April 2001 for the PlayStation 2. Ubisoft launched an official website for the game, containing a description of the game's characters, modes, and environments, along with galleries of screenshots from each of the game's version. Danny Ruiz, the band manager of Ubisoft Entertainment, said that the game "[promised] to provide gamers a new multiplayer experience while maintaining the production value associated with the Rayman franchise." In 2002, the game's producer Sylvain Constantin said that he wanted to do something serious after the game's development which Constantin was asked to lead the driving team and come up with a new idea because he was a driving game enthusiast.
== Why It's A Great Multiplayer Experience ==
# The idea of a party game about ''Rayman'' is a pretty good idea and this game proved, and while it isn't completely a party game, it still can count as one in a way because of the lot of modes present, even if we had to wait for the ''Raving Rabbids'' series that came out in 2006 for a true party game (at the time).
# Excellent gameplay that adapt the mechanics of ''Rayman 2'' to a combat and racing formula and it work incredibly well, especially that because of it, the game is fun to play especially because of the fact that the game mostly had a ''Rayman 2'' gameplay mechanic (in which that game was already fun to play), and it thus had unlimited funs.
#* The racing mode is especially very fun because those levels are very well designed and the mechanics are once again fun to use, also it is fast-paced and can pass as a done right version of ''[[Sonic R]]'', it help that there's some challenges in this game.
#* The battle mode is also absolutely great, especially when playing as multiplayer since not only it is the closest we come from having a ''Rayman'' fighting game but also it is fast-paced, fun and overall you will never get bored from playing this mode and even the game itself.
# Lot of modes to play from, and they are all fun, those are:
#* Racing Mode: In this mode, the players take part in a foot race and face a number of obstacles depending on which environment they are playing in. There are no power-ups in this mode, although throughout each course there are Purple Lums, speed ramps and small trampolines that are useful. This mode has four different types of racing game. Obstacles include boxes that the player has to shoot up to eight times in order to pass, bear traps and electric bars.
#** Training: This mode allows the player to explore the course and practice before playing in the other modes, as well as setting their own personal records. Only one player can play in this mode.
#** Race: This mode involves up to four characters to race each other, the first one to the finish line wins. In single player mode, the other players are computer controlled and there are three laps to run, while in multi-player mode the players can set how many laps to run before winning.
#** Popolopoï: This mode uses a time limit in which a character must complete three laps in. Although the time starts at 20 seconds, the time can be increased by shooting butterflies named Popolopoïs, which come in different colours that represent how much time is given. Only one player can play in this mode.
#** Lums: In this mode, the player has to complete three laps while collecting the maximum number of yellow Lums required in order to legally win, and must come in first place as well. This is also needed later on in the game, as the amount of yellow Lums the player collected will be transferred into the amount of time the player gets to finish that particular race in On and On, a bonus race level. Only one player can play in this mode.
#* Battle Mode: Rather than an obstacle course, the battle mode is made up of an arena in which characters run around playing three different modes. Unlike the race mode, this mode uses power-ups.
#** Lum Spring: In the mode, the player has to collect as many Lums (which unusually look like crystals this time) as they can in order to reach the winning conditions - in a typical game, this is up to five Lums - or before the time runs out. To help the player prevent the opponents from reaching them first, they are equipped with ice bullets to freeze them, thought the others' shots have to be avoided.
#** Lum Fight: Each player starts with five hit points each, and the player has to knock all of the opponents' hit points in order to score Lums. Each time a player dies, they respawn somewhere else in the arena. A negative Lum is given to a player that loses to a self-infliction. Various power-ups called generators are scattered around, and contain a different weapon to use against opponents. Uses the same winning conditions as Lum Spring.
#** Capture the Fly: This game is similar to tag - the player has to find a Light-Fly and keep hold of it as long as possible without getting hit by an opponent's shot. The character is equipped with five bounce bullets which are only effective on the player in possession of the Fly. The player that reaches the winning conditions first wins.
# The soundtrack is very good and is as good as ''Rayman 2'', if not even better for some of the tracks, this is mostly because they are so catchy that it is unforgettable and will make you want to refuse to forget them, or even downloading the ost on your MPE player.
# The intro is quite well, since the animation is decent and there's a lot of funny moments, such as when Rayman got burn by Razorbeard, and dying in a funny cartoon style, though it isn't even as good as the cutscenes before starting a mode.
# Lot of weapons to choose, which are all fun to use, and some are even overpowered in a good way, at such they make the game even more fun to play, those include but not limited to:
#* Fake generator: It looks like a normal generator that gives the player a weapon, but is in fact a bomb that has been placed down by another player. It explodes on contact (or just after a character passes) and it inflicts 3 hit points.
#* Item leech: When activated, it steals a random other players' weapon. if no other player is carrying something, it will steal one from a generator.
#* Buzz rocket: When activated, the player will stop moving their main character (making them vulnerable to attacks) and he or she will instead be in control of a small, highly sensitive flying weapon, the buzz rocket. It inflicts 5 hit points on impact on another player, killing them instantly. The player can only use it once.
#* Ultimate barrier: An indestructible force field that cocoons the player for a few seconds. It also effectively inflicts 1 hit point of damage if it comes in contact with another player.
#* Glue bomb: When activated, it sticks to a character by contact, spinning around that character (until passed on to another) then explodes after a few seconds. Inflicts 3 hit points of damage. Looks very similar to the helicopter bomb from Rayman 2.
#* Rapid bullets: Shoots a row of 3 bullets per round, making 9 bullets in total. Each bullet inflicts 1 hit point.
#* Rubber bullet: Can almost always make a direct hit. Can bounce of walls and objects (up to 3 bounces). Each bullet inflicts 1 hit point. In Capture the Fly mode, the player get 5 bullets. It just steals the fly from the carrier and ammo refills over time.
#* Hound bullet: Automatically chases the nearest opponent. Each hound bullet inflicts 1 hit point.
#* Firework bullet: Is pointless unless a player is nearby, or he or she locks onto another player. A green firework bullet detonates on impact. Inflicts 1 hit point on anyone within explosion range.
#* Flametounge bullet: A flame which its direction can be controlled for a few seconds, then remaining active for a few more, engulfing anyone who unfortunately goes into it. Inflicts 1 hit point.
#* Ice bullet: Only available in Lum Spring mode. It freezes the targeted character for 1 second. The ammo refills over time.
# While the graphics are more like a 5th gen game, they still look amazing even for a 2001 game, especially on the upgraded versions for the GameCube and Xbox, in which it is detailled, colorful and had amazing characters models that still look solid, even being on par with ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman Revolution]]''.
# The cutscenes with Murfy are absolutely entairtaining, since they never fail to make us laugh, especially when he get attacked by peoples, also it had a certain charm.
# The game length appear to be pretty short but honestly if you like the game, and that you love playing games with your friends, then there's a huge chance that there's ton of replay values because this game is mostly focused on multiplayer, and multiplayer games mostly had high replay values, and this game prove it.
# Extremely tight and responsive controls that are exactly like the controls from ''Rayman 2'', and here they are just as amazing since the controls are always responsive and will never ever had flaws thank to being well programmed.
# A decent roster of characters, despite that Ly the Fairy isn't present.
# Cool box arts for both regions, especially the NA cover art where we can see Rayman, Globox and even Razorbeard and a very nice background that fit the game tone, and with the PAL cover art, we can see both Rayman and Globox in a red/orange background that still look appealing.
# The updated version titled ''Rayman Arena'' is even better, thank to better controls, better graphics and slighly more contents than ''Rayman M'', it even goes as far as being almost a completely different game.
== Bad Qualities ==
# The PS1 demake titled ''Rayman Rush'' is mediocre, since not only half of the game was cut but now there's only racing, hence the title of ''Rayman Rush''.
#* It also doesn't make any senses that it came out after this version, except if they wanted to make a demake of the game on a weaker console.
# The PS2 version, while it still an amazing version, had weaker looking graphics and doesn't play as well, though both of these problems aren't that important because it still look decent and play well, just not as great as ''Rayman Arena''.
# Some peoples might not like the battle mode, especially if they don't had any friends to play the game, and that mode in single player can became boring faster, even if it's a great mode and that there's still plenty of fun to get even at single.
# It can be frustrating at times.
# The game can be completed in 5 hours, which is quite short, although as stated before, this game had high replay values.
# One of the poster is misleading since the poster had Ly in it but she isn't even mentioned in the game at all and instead it replacing with random fairy.
== Reception ==
''Rayman Arena'' received mixed reviews by critics but mixed to positive reviews by gamers, on Metacritic the game had a score of 63 for the PS2 version<ref>https://www.metacritic.com/game/rayman-arena/critic-reviews/?platform=playstation-2</ref>, 60 for the GameCube version<ref>https://www.metacritic.com/game/rayman-arena/critic-reviews/?platform=gamecube</ref>, 50 for the Xbox version<ref>https://www.metacritic.com/game/rayman-arena/critic-reviews/?platform=xbox</ref> and 46 for the PC version<ref>https://www.metacritic.com/game/rayman-arena/critic-reviews/?platform=pc</ref>
The players praised the varied modes, fun gameplay and the graphics but criticized some aspect such as the total absence of Ly.
== Trivia ==
* The Story of Rayman contains excerpts from Michel Ancel and Frédéric Houde 's game design bible for the first Rayman game , which was originally intended for the Super NES . One of them states that Rayman originally had the ability to use a shield made of three spheres rotating around him, which destroyed enemies that touched it. This power ultimately did not appear in Rayman and became the Ultimate Barrier in ''Rayman M''.
* CPU opponents are predefined based on the chosen game mode: Globox and Dark Globox for Obstacle Course mode, the Teensies and Tily for Time Trial mode, Razorbeard and Razorwoman for Ice Battle mode, Henchman 800 and Henchman 1000 for All-Out Combat mode.
* The cutscenes show the different game modes.

|Genre= Racing<br>Platform

'''''Rayman Rush''''' is the PlayStation port of ''[[Rayman Arena|Rayman M]]'', it was developed by Ubisoft Shanghai and released in 2002.
It has many differences from the base game, most of which are due to the technical limitations of the PlayStation. The most striking difference is the absence of Battle Mode.
== Summary ==
Rayman's world kicks into multiplayer overdrive in this total competition crash course with the cast of Rayman 2. Smoke the competition on mind-bending competitive racecourses, catching lums, Timemode and Target Mode (Popolopoï). And with 8 characters, 12 maps and a combatant, now Rayman's got more ways to reign supreme than ever.
== Bad Qualities ==
# For starters, this version is heavily watered down from ''Rayman Arena/M'' (due to being released on a weaker console) and had less contents, which is the main reason of why this port is that bad, not to mention that it ended up being one of the worst ''Rayman'' game ever made, which is very rare to get bad games in the ''Rayman'' franchise.
#* In fact it provide almost no replay values due to how much contents it got cut, mostly because of the removed battle modes who we're mostly the strongest point of ''Rayman M'' and especially ''Arena'', speaking of which, it remove all the charm from the 7th gen console versions.
#** Also, some of the removed contents are absolutely stupid, such as for the battle mode that could easily been made into a PS1 game, although to be honest, the memory on the disc was probably full, but still.
# It was a very bad idea to release the game on the PS1 when it was very late because the game was released in March 2002, when the PS1 started to show it's age, it was actually mean to be a demake of ''[[Rayman Arena]]'' but it fail due to every problems that we are speaking about it.
#* Even worse, because of this, the game sold poorly and is one of the most obscure game of the franchise along with most of the Java games, and is also one of the lowest rated game of the franchise.
#** In fact, to prove how obscure it is, it got reviewed by only 5 critics in Metacritic, and not too many peoples talk about it on websites such as YouTube or anything like that.
# The controls are made way more clunkier, even worse than the first version of ''Rayman M'' (which had slighly clunky but good controls), as now they are very stiff and unresponsive and are some of the worst controls the franchise had ever given, and while they aren't as bad as the controls from the early ''Rayman 3'' Java ports, they are still problematic and make ''[[Rayman DS]]'' look like it controls as well as it's original ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'' counterpart.
# The gameplay quickly became repetitive because the races are the only things in the entire game (which is why the game is called "Rayman Rush"), and the racing isn't as fun as the original where it was way faster, more fun and also control better.
#* In fact the game is slower than it's 6th gen consoles counterpart, and this is what make this port less fun to play, and also, why did they made it slower despite that they made Rayman moving faster in the previous two games on the PS1 ? This is all a mystery.
# The graphics, while similar to ''Rayman 2'', are very bad even for a 2002 PS1 game, as it had extremely blurry models, had terribly undetailled textures and the colors are very washed out, to the point of being one of the worst looking game of the ''Rayman'' franchise, though the graphics aren't as bad as some of the ''Raving Rabbids'' games on DS.
#* The textures are especially bad because they had the worst colors out of the entire game design, had abysmal lightning and even they are also extremely pixelated, which doesn't help to make the game look better.
#** It doesn't help that ''Rayman 2'' on PS1 which had a similar problem of textures, looked better than this and that port was released in 2000, and also that port is way better than this awful port of ''Rayman Arena''
#* The characters models are somehow worse than ''Rayman 2'' on PS1 due to being blocky and overall they show that the PS1 started to show it's age in 2002, which is a similar case to other bad 2002 PS1 games such as ''[[Shrek: Treasure Hunt]]'' (howewer that game had even worse graphics than this game).
#* The colors are just as washed out as in the PS1 port of ''Rayman 2'', if not even worse because they are extremely undetailled and look very poorly colored, even for a PS1 game, and it make it look like a late Sega Saturn game.
# The level design had been slighly changed in this port due to limitations, and honestly they are just downright boring and tedious to play because they don't capture the fun of what made ''Rayman Arena'' so awesome, and it doesn't help that the game had terrible collision detection with the platforming sections and the grabbing system.
#* It is made even worse by the fact that for most of the game, they placed the platforms randomly, which make the levels very tedious to progress, and make this game even more frustrating.
# The game difficulty is very frustrating and is even harder than ''Rayman Arena'' PAL version, this is mostly because of the awful platforming collision and the fact that the opponents AI is terrible, not to mention that this game already lack polish, so why making everything difficult for no reasons ?
#* The collision is the biggest offender with this, since it make the platforming sections even more frustrating and make the game harder than it supposed to be, howewer it sometime don't had anything to do with the diffuculty due to how poorly designed some levels are.
#* The later levels are the most frustrating because of the horrible obstacles placements, the overly long tracks and the fact that the opponents had a big advantage over you by being faster but this depend on the character you choosen.
# The game is very short, as it can be completed in only 4 hours, when the console versions are longer and lasted for over 10 hours of gameplay.
# Long loading times, even in comparison to the PS1 port of ''Rayman 2'', since they last more than 10 seconds, and are on par with ''[[Mega Man X7]]'' loading times.
# The intro quality is rather poor in comparison to the console versions.
#* First off, the image quality is blurry and look like it was watered down so that it could fit into the disc, even if it isn't as bad as the [[South Park (1998 game)|PS1 port of ''South Park'']] cutscenes quality.
#* Also, the animation is somewhat weaker, despite that the PS1 is fully capable of producing good CGI cutscenes such as in games like ''[[Pac-Man World]]'' for exemple who had a much better CGI quality in both visually and in the animation, and that game was released in 1999, 3 years before this game came out.
#* The audio quality is somewhat poor, although it isn't the worst.
# Overall, this port is pointless, even back in 2002 since the much better 6th gen console versions we're already out (well not in North America due to them being made in September 2002), and nowadays this port is even more pointless because there's every other versions of ''Rayman Arena'' that can be buy for a cheap price on the internet, and even then, you can play both games on emulator easily nowadays, but still there's no reasons to play ''Rayman Rush'' nowadays with the much better 6th gen consoles versions.
== Good Qualities ==
# While it's a pretty bad port, it is a very interesting port considering the technical issues of the PS1, and show what a ''Rayman Arena'' port looked like on the PS1.
# The intro is still the same as the other console versions, and is still entairtaining, despite the awful video quality.
# At time the game can still be fun to play despite being one of the worst ''Rayman'' game, despite how unbalanced the difficulty is.
# The cover art is once again very cools to look at, even if it's slighly misleading.
# Amazing soundtrack that is extremely catchy and unforgettable and is probably the best part of this port, not to mention that it mostly had the same soundtrack as the console versions, which is a good point due to being an already awesome ost.
== Reception ==
''Rayman Rush'' received mixed reviews by critics but mostly negative reviews by gamers and especially fans who founded it to be one of the worst ''Rayman'' games to be released, and is considered to be even worse than the PC port of ''Rayman Arena''.
On Metacritic it had a score of 62/100.<ref>https://www.metacritic.com/game/rayman-rush/</ref> Making it one of the lowest rated game along with ''Hoodlum Revenge'' and ''[[Rayman DS]]''.
On Gamefaqs, the game had a score of 3.13 (Fair) based on 71 users.<ref>https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps/547939-rayman-rush</ref>

}}
The '''Nintendo DS''' (called '''DS''' or '''NDS''' for short) is a handheld gaming console developed by [[Nintendo]], it is the first of the DS series of Nintendo handhelds, succeeding the [[Game Boy Advance]] and was succeeded by the [[Nintendo 3DS]] in early 2011 and was discontinued in late 2014. It competed with the [[PlayStation Portable]] throughout its lifetime. It is the best-selling handheld console, best-selling Nintendo console, best-selling console of the seventh generation and the second best-selling console of all time, only behind the [[PlayStation 2]].
== Why It Makes Touching Good ==
# The system has two screens which are used simultaneously during gameplay, while it may sound awkward having to track two screens at once, it works very well as most games in the system take good advantage of it.
# The bottom screen is a touchscreen which offers the possibility of more interactivity in games.
# It is the first handheld that can consistently do full 3D games. While the [[Game Boy Advance]] could do 3D graphics, they’d cause some issues with the framerate, and they would be pretty rare to find.
# Over 2,000 games to choose from.
# Lots of good games from [[Nintendo]] were made, including:
#*''[[Super Mario 64|Super Mario 64 DS]]''
#* ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''

The '''Nintendo DS''' (called '''DS''' or '''NDS''' for short) is a handheld gaming console developed by [[Nintendo]], it is the first of the DS series of Nintendo handhelds, succeeding the [[Game Boy Advance]] and was succeeded by the [[Nintendo 3DS]] in early 2011 and was discontinued in late 2014. It competed with the [[PlayStation Portable]] throughout its lifetime. It is the best-selling handheld console, best-selling Nintendo console, best-selling console of the seventh generation and the second best-selling console of all time, only behind the [[PlayStation 2]].
== Why It Makes Touching Good ==
# The system has two screens which are used simultaneously during gameplay, while it may sound awkward having to track two screens at once, it works very well as most games in the system take good advantage of it.
# The bottom screen is a touchscreen which offers the possibility of more interactivity in games.
# It is the first handheld that can consistently do full 3D games. While the [[Game Boy Advance]] could do 3D graphics, they’d cause some issues with the framerate, and they would be pretty rare to find.
# Over 2,000 games to choose from.
# Lots of good games from [[Nintendo]] were made, including:
#*''[[Super Mario 64|Super Mario 64 DS]]''
#* ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''
#* ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass]]''
#* ''[[Metroid Prime Hunters]]''
#* The fourth and fifth generation of the [[:Category:Pokémon Games|''Pokémon'' series]].
#* ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''
#* ''[[Mario Party DS]]''

#*''The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks''

# It was the first handheld to introduce a Wi-Fi service, making it possible to play online.
# The first two models had backwards compatibility with [[Game Boy Advance]] games. Some DS games took advantage of the GBA port for bonus features, such as the first ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon'' games.
# The DSi model had a front facing camera, and was able to connect to the DSi Shop and offered digital games. Most of these games can be transferred to the 3DS as of 2011, with the exception of Flipnote Studio, the Nintendo DSi Browser, and pre-installed games found on the DSi XL.

'''''Stalin vs. Martians''''' is a parody real-time strategy video game developed by Black Wing Foundation, Dreamlore, and N-Game, released on April 29, 2009. Described as "trashy and over-the-top" by its creators, the game mocks World War II strategy games and utilizes Pythonesque humor.
The game has a spinoff, a social browser game [https://vk.com/app2342971_466870783 ''Stalin vs Martians Online'']. In 2013, the developers launched a Kickstarter campaign for a sequel, ''Stalin vs. Martians 3'', but the campaign failed completely and the game was canceled. However, in 2019 the developer decided to celebrate the 10 years anniversary of the "franchise" and announced a new installment, ''Stalin vs Martians 4''.
The game received overwhelmingly negative reviews overall and was named both the worst game of 2009, the worst strategy game of all time, and even one of the worst games of all time.
== Plot ==
Strangers landed in Siberia who signed a pact with Adolf Hitler attacking the Soviet elites living there, from that moment it turns out that Stalin must defend not only the western part of the USSR but also Siberia in order not to fall.
== Gameplay ==
The game consists of 12 levels and each of them (except the last one) consists in eliminating all opponents from the map. The player has 3 types of units at his disposal: infantry, tank, and the great Stalin who appears on the last level. The last level is about trampling enemies with the great Stalin and defeating the octopus with the head of Hitler.
== Why It Intentionally Should Go to the Gulag ==
# The concept itself is very stupid for all the wrong reasons, you play as Stalin and you have to kill aliens, that's something an edgy 10-year-old kid could've come up with.
# The graphics look absolutely outdated. Noteworthy is the fact that the game uses the Enigma Engine, which was used by an earlier WWII game, ''Blitzkrieg 2'' (complete with reusing some of its models)... but it looks way worse and looks like it came out in '''2000''' and looks like an late PlayStation 1 or Nintendo 64 game because the textures are low quality and the models are lazily made and they look rather rushed without much effort and are quite blurry which makes them look like a rushed PS1 or N64 game.
#* Adding to the damage, some textures of e.g. houses can look exactly the same without major changes and sometimes even the models are the same as if the creators didn't even want to make an effort and create something more creative.
# The sound effects are really annoying because they are very repetitive, the sounds are repeated almost every few seconds and they are made so lazily that after the 20th time, they start to sound bland, although at first they sound funny.
# The game is incredibly short because it has only 12 missions that last 5 minutes, so you can literally finish the game in just an hour, which is an unforgivably short time for a strategy game.
# Despite calling itself a real-time strategy game, the game lacks any of the necessary elements, actually, apart from army management, this game has absolutely nothing but 3 functions, steering, shooting, and stopping. Even Dune 2, released 17 years earlier, has much more features than this game, which is unforgivable.
# The game has really few types of units because only three, infantry, a tank, and a great Stalin who also appears only at the end of the game, which is an unimaginably small amount for a strategy game. In addition, the tank and infantry differ only in appearance because they do exactly the same thing and have the same statistics, which clearly shows the laziness of the developers.
# The level design is poor as almost all the levels look similar if not the same, you can clearly see the copy and paste units that are placed quite lazily and often in quite the wrong places so they can go unnoticed, and many textures have been copied and can be referenced it feels like the action takes place in the same place. The player sometimes does not even know where to go because there are not many opponents on the map.
#* Generally speaking, it seems that the action of the game takes place all the time because the locations look very similar to each other.
# The game is really poorly programmed because not only are there a lot of bugs and glitches, but in addition, the game likes to crash very often even on computers from the times when the game was created, the optimization also lies despite the terrible graphics.
# The game has probably the worst AI in the history of strategy games, enemies very rarely or never hit the player's units and even sometimes do the exact same thing, the player's units are no better because very often they don't go or shoot where they should and even quite often they do not respond to the player at all.
# The character designs look pretty lazy, going from average alien designs that aren't very original to horrible and bizarre designs that look like they were made by a drunk three-year-old, sometimes some designs are even ripoffs of other characters like DOOM's Caco Demon. In fact, none of the character designs are worth much attention.
#*It also doesn't help that it could be considered copyright infringement because the character that looks like a cacodemon from DOOM is nothing more than plagiarism.
# The game has almost no cutscenes other than the ending where Stalin dances, instead, we have boring lists of quests that accompany each mission, even though the first strategy game to use cutscenes, Command & Conquer Red Alert, was released 13 years earlier which is unforgivable.
# The last mission doesn't make sense, because it's literally a giant Stalin fighting an octopus with Hitler's head and stomping on enemies who can't do anything to him, which shows that the creators have really little creativity when in other strategy games the last missions are much more extensive.
==Redeeming Qualities==
# Some of the music is actually good and catchy, especially the main theme [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i83cVs03EE0 "Stalin Loves Disco"].
# The final cutscene, which is the only cutscene in the entire game, can be hilarious thanks to the terrible animation for 2009, although it still can't save the game and is best viewed on YouTube.
# The game itself can be so bad it's good.
==Reception==
''Stalin vs. Martians'' received scathing reviews from critics. It has an average score of 23.41% on GameRankings as well as 25% on Metacritic. GameSpot awarded the game 1.5/10, calling it "perhaps the worst RTS game ever created" and also the game is called the worst game of the year and one of the worst games of all time.
The site also named it 2009's Flat-Out Worst Game. IGN, which rated the game a 2/10, noted the game's total lack of any RTS-related elements and asked whether it was 'made in 1994 and sealed into a vault until 2009' given how dated the visuals looked. The game was ranked 100 of Tats Top 100 Shittiest Games.
BartekGM gave the game 1/10 for the graphics, 1/10 for the audio, and 0/10 for the playability, which in total translated into '''''PIERDOLONE 0/10''''' and also stated that it is the most embarrassing game he has ever played.
== Trivia ==
*This is the only game in which you can control a Stalin, in literally no other game, be it a strategy, a platformer, or a fighting game, this character is nowhere to be found.

{{Quote|'''HOW DID THIS GAME COME INTO EXISTENCE?''' I-i-it isn't even a game, I mean i-it's, it's... the only interactivity is moving the bus and honking the horn! I-it's as less of a video game as possible!|[[Angry Video Game Nerd]]}}
'''''CrazyBus''''' is an unlicensed game launched in 2004 for the Sega Genesis only in North America. Developed by Tom Scripts and published by Devster Specialties. The game, like games like [[Kang Fu|''Kang Fu'']], [[Hong Kong 97|''Hong Kong 97'']] or [[Plumbers Don't Wear Ties|''Plumbers Don't Wear Ties'']], although initially extremely little known, gained notoriety thanks to reviewers such as [[The Angry Video Game Nerd|AVGN]] and was hailed as one of the worst games of all time.
In reality, it is a tech demo that was built to test the creator's BASIC compiler and sound driver, but it was later self-released on the Sega Genesis for some strange reason, probably just for profit from the consumers or just for a joke.
Also in 2010, a newer version of the game with improved graphics and audio was released.
== "Gameplay" ==
The only way to interact with the bus is to move left and right and honk the horn. Moving your bus to the point where it entirely vanishes from the screen will simply cause it to reappear on the opposite side of the screen from where it was previously. In the background, you can see a low-quality, digital snapshot of the bus you're driving. For this, points are also calculated, the maximum amount that a player can have is 65535, after which they reset to zero, they also do not have much impact on the game. The player also has the option of choosing a vehicle, but apart from the appearance, it changes absolutely nothing.
== Why It's Crazy (in a Terrible Way) and Should Get Out Existence ==
# '''Unimaginably loud and terrible title screen music:''' There are no words to express how horrifyingly awful the music is. The tune is randomly generated and sounds like, no joke, a robot that is often thrashed with a baseball bat and making strange noises while having a seizure or a preschool child without knowledge of any music who plays the notes on an electronic piano randomly.
#* The bus selection screen music is thankfully less painful to listen to, but similarly composed of random tones
# The only actual gameplay is moving the bus forward or reverse with the D-Pad to rack up points, or in simple terms, how long can players hold the button? The maximum amount they can get is 65535 (which is 2<sup>16</sup> - 1), or they can just drive in reverse at the start to achieve this instantly due to the use of an unsigned integer, which underflows. They can also honk the horn.
#* Sprinkling salt on the wound, points, or types of buses have no effect on the game, points are not saved and vehicles, apart from appearance, do not differ in absolutely nothing.
#* The game has no goal to complete, and barely any gameplay, making it difficult to even classify the gameplay as actual gameplay similar to ''[[Desert Bus]]'', another bus-related simulator game. The only reason it's classified as a game in the first place is because it runs on a Sega Genesis and lacks a better category of this rather pointless software.
# The graphics are grainy and don't even look anything like an actual video game, as it looks like each of the buses was drawn by some 4-year-old child but aren't modeled and are way too low-poly. The bus photographs are similarly of very poor quality, as they appear to be taken with a CCTV camera (see below).
#* The in-game backgrounds are also the aforementioned very low-quality and somewhat real-life images of actual buses, proving that the developers of the game were lazy.
#* The score is virtually unreadable owing to the color choice, the background nearly having the same colors, comparable to captcha entries with difficult letters very low-quality background voiceovers, and very old fashion-themed fonts.
#**However, this could be unintentionally done on purpose as a challenge to read players' scores.
#*In the same year, games such as ''[[Half-Life 2]]'', ''[[Doom 3]]'', ''[[The Sims 2]]'', ''[[Need for Speed: Underground]]'' and its sequel, ''FIFA 2005'', and ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'' were released, all of which have much better graphics than this one.
#Incredible lack of proper audio:
#*Aside from the title screen and bus selection screen, there is no "actual" music anywhere in the game.
#*Aside from the engine and horn sounds too, the game also lacks sound effects.
#To be fair, it looks like the game was only made in about only '''''5 minutes.'''''
# And for some strange reason, to top it all off, the game was launched in '''2004, long after''' the platform's true capabilities had been investigated and discovered, and more than seven years after Sega ceased support for the console.
#*It could've been easily released on [[Personal Computer|Microsoft Windows]], which is a way better fit.
#The newer version of the game technically didn't improve anything, the music and graphics mostly remained the same.
== The Only Redeeming Quality ==
# The front cover art designed by djshok, a user on the Sega-16 forum, is very cool-looking.
== Reception ==
{{AVGNRatings|6}}
The game was initially very little known to the point that almost no one heard of it; however, the game gained popularity in the first half of the 2010s thanks to reviewers such as AVGN, and due to non-existent gameplay, the game was considered one of the worst games of all time.
''CrazyBus'', according to the Angry Video Game Nerd, "broke the shit scale" and is even worse than ''[[Desert Bus]]'' or ''Big Rigs''. He put the game on the Major Code Red (games that don't qualify as games).
BartekGM put it on the 100th episode of "Najgorsze gry Wszechczasów (Eng. The Worst Games of All-Time)" and he said this might be the worst game ever made, worse than Big Rigs or Hong Kong 97.
Tat put the game on the 4th place of his worst games ever made list.
== Trivia ==
* This game is said to be released on the Sega Genesis in 2004, even though the Sega Genesis was discontinued in 1997.
**It is also the final game to be "released" on the said console.
* This game was created to test out the creator's basic compiler and sound driver.
* Due to vandalized modifications, Venezuelan President [[wikipedia:Nicolás Maduro|Nicolás Maduro]] was formerly credited as the game's director, editor, and composer.
* This is probably the first and one of the very few games that were made in Venezuela. A more well-known example of a game made in Venezuela is ''VA-11 Hall-A''.

'''Mickey's Twice Upon A Christmas''' is a 2004 computer-animated direct-to-video Christmas comedy and is a sequel to Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas. The segments in this video feature Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Pluto, Goofy, Max, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and Scrooge McDuck in five different segments. Along with Mickey's PhilharMagic theme park attraction, this production was one of the first to depict the Mickey Mouse series characters in CGI animation.
== Bad Qualities ==
# To write down the first problem, it is often considered a cash-in sequel from a mile away, all because of its presentation. Considering that it is one of the many not-so-good direct-to-DVD movies DisneyToon Studios has been turning out in the 2000s, especially since the 2000s was a rough time for Disney. This one is exceptionally the CGI embodiment of this.
#* It fails to retell charming Christmas stories that the previous film, ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas,'' did right. Where that movie told a simple, corny yet sweet, emotional, and heartwarming story that anyone can enjoy. This film feels like a watered-down and a lamer version of that.
# Where ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'' had three stories to share. Despite this film having five stories to tell, it feels like it has about 10 stories because of how much there are so many plots that are thrown into each other, whether if they make sense or not.
#* It goes to the point of overload where the motivations for each story don't feel like they connect with each other. Especially when the title has '''Mickey''' on the cover, yet Mickey only shows up in the first and last segment of the story that doesn't focus on him ironically enough.
# While the CGI animation isn't all that bad and every character does move naturally, it looks rather mediocre, cheap-looking, and it can sometimes look uncanny for a full-feature-length film, akin to an early Dreamcast, PlayStation 2, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo GameCube or an Xbox video game. It clearly hasn't aged well since there are some models that look a bit grotesque, rubbery and stiff, particularly the non-regular cast. It doesn't help that the next attempt at bringing Mickey and his pals into the third dimension, ''Mickey Mouse Clubhouse'', became a major improvement over this. Especially when both ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'' and ''Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers'' (which the latter is co-incidentally released the same year as this film) went with 2D animation that had ''a lot'' of effort put into it despite ''those'' also being direct-to-video movies.
#* The side characters like the elves, Santa Claus himself, and most of the other side characters have bland/ugly-looking designs.
#* Mona's design is very uncanny and looks rather out of place.
# Despite having 11 writers, The writing is very subpar, and it feels lazy. The lyrics for most of the songs are so bad that they don't even feel like properly-written songs, but rather the bad kinds of songs that wouldn't even fit in context to this film (mainly because of how nobody sings when the songs are played as if they're pop songs).
#* The dialogue is often awkward and out of place most of the time.
#* For whatever reason, Kellie Martin, who voices Max's high school crush Roxanne in ''A Goofy Movie'' (1995) and made an appearance in the ''House of Mouse,'' was recast to voice Mona since the animators thought that they wouldn't be able to reanimate Roxanne by her hair design/etc and were also too lazy to animate Roxanne's red hair, which is just unbelievable. This means that Kellie Martin voices Max's girlfriend Mona (who has little to no personality) over Roxanne (a character who had a personality).
#* The humor is lackluster, to the point where there is barely, if ever, any good comedy to be found in this movie. Some moments that include having a fat reindeer named Tiny Reindeer say "what?" as a build-up to a joke in the segment "Mickey's Dog-Gone Christmas", was rather a horribly pathetic attempt at intentional comedy.
# One of the biggest problems with the movie is that most of the segments are underwhelming, boring, and mean-spirited. Much to the point that they feel rushed, even for ''Mickey Mouse'' standards.
#* The absolute '''worst''' offender of them all is Donald's segment "Donald's Gift", which is a very mean-spirited Donald torture story, even by ''Mickey Mouse'' standards, since in that segment Donald is supposed to be written like he's in the wrong, when it's clearly obvious that he isn't. Donald just wants to take a break from Christmas by sitting by the fire and having his hot cocoa after he came back home from doing errands that have Donald Duck being put through a lot of abuse and humiliating gags. But Donald's mischievous nephews (''who torment him as soon as they step foot in'') and Daisy herself force Donald to go celebrate Christmas where Donald didn't even want to go anywhere else in the first place.
#** This leads to many miserable scenes of Donald suffering from over-the-top, humiliating coincidences as Christmas-related annoyances that treat Donald as if he deserved what he was given for being "completely selfish" and for not wanting to celebrate Christmas, which is just frustrating to watch. This makes Donald destroy an animatronic Christmas show because of this. Nobody sympathizes with Donald ''at all'' and nearly everyone puts him through more suffering just for not having "the Christmas spirit", which all makes you feel extremely bad for Donald all the way through. Especially when he never got anything in return for what Donald was put through, even when Donald was ''actually'' trying to do something good like helping a choir sing better when Donald was feeling remorseful and sorrowful after everyone guilt-tripped him.
#* Not to mention that both Mickey and Donald are equally treated like the bad guys who "deserve some form of comeuppance" for whatever reason. The former got mad at Pluto for messing up the place that was caused by Pluto's impulsive clumsiness (something some viewers would perceive Mickey berating Pluto as out-of-character for Mickey to do) where Mickey wanted to go retrieve Pluto when the latter leaves him, and the latter was because of everyone's aforementioned irredeemable acts of selfishness.
#* The final segment "Mickey's Dog-Gone Christmas" overall is pretty much a lazy rehash of the ''Mickey Mouse Works'' episode "Pluto Runs Away", albeit with the Christmas and "lost dog" themes mixed in altogether but with none of the fun, charm, and cleverness that episode had.
# '''Heaps of continuity errors:''' This film is quite difficult (practically impossible, really) to place within the greater continuity of all of the previous appearances of Max, Huey, Dewey, and Louie since the film has very poor connections and poor continuities to not only the film ''Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas'', but also other Mickey Mouse/Donald Duck/Goofy television and film appearances such as ''Goof Troop'' and ''House of Mouse''. This means that this film isn’t canon to those aforementioned appearances and therefore, set in an alternate continuity.
#* In the previous film, ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'', the four of them were all children, with Max presented as being even younger than his appearance in ''Goof Troop'' and Donald's nephews presented as still living with him. This indicates that ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'' took place at some point prior to the events of both ''DuckTales'' (in which the nephews, still as children, live with Scrooge McDuck after Donald joins the Navy) and ''Goof Troop'' (in which Max is an 11½-year-old preteen). By the time of ''A Goofy Movie'' and ''Quack Pack'', Max, Huey, Dewey, and Louie have all grown into high school-aged teenagers, with ''An Extremely Goofy Movie'' having Max grown further into a college-aged teenager. In the ''House of Mouse'' TV series, Max is still a teenager but old enough to be employed as a parking valet, while Huey, Dewey, and Louie (who were often seen in their ''Quack Pack'' designs, albeit recolored) are on the cusp of young adulthood. Because of this Christmas special presenting Donald's nephews as children at the same time that Max is a young adult (with the four even interacting together in the very last scene), ''Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas'' is virtually irreconcilable with the larger continuity of all of the aforementioned TV shows, movies, and even its own predecessor ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas''.
#** Consequently, this ultimately results to '''a massive plot-hole''' between this film and ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'', such as on either '''why Huey, Dewey and Louie haven't even aged since the events of ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'''''<nowiki/>'','' or '''how did Huey, Dewey and Louie somehow aged down to children since their previous appearance in ''House of Mouse''''', hence further adding to this film's inconsistencies with all that came before it.
#* Additionally, Goofy's house appears to have a rather large front yard that extends off to the side where Pete's house stood in both ''Goof Troop'' (as well as its two sequel films ''A Goofy Movie'' and ''An Extremely Goofy Movie'') and ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'', meaning that Pete's house is missing from where it ought to be in this film, although Pete himself doesn’t appear in the film, unlike the previous film.
#* And while the house's exterior does bear a decent resemblance to that of the Goof House seen in ''Goof Troop'' its interior more closely resembles that of the very different-looking Goof House seen in ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'', which itself had a completely different interior room layout (as well as a very different exterior design) from the house seen in ''Goof Troop'' (e.g. - the living room and kitchen sit on opposite sides of the house, instead of both sharing the same side and back end of the house like they did in ''Goof Troop''). Since Goofy and Max only first moved into their ''Goof Troop'' house in that series' first episode, the house they lived in ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'' has to have been a different house that they lived in prior to their first moving to Spoonerville. So, if Goofy, in this film, is supposed to still be living in the same house he's lived in since ''Goof Troop'', the inside of the house really shouldn't resemble the very different house from the first film, yet it does, further adding to this film's inconsistencies with all that came before it.
#* Plus, both the interior and exterior of McDuck Manor as seen in this movie bare very little resemblance to their appearance in ''DuckTales''.
# Much like ''Christmas with the Kranks'' (another bad Christmas movie produced and released the exact same year)'','' it gives a badly sugarcoated moral that everyone should just accept everything about Christmas and unconditionally overindulge themselves with the Christmas spirit by giving a "you're a bad person if you don't want to celebrate the holidays" type of message that encourages tons of excessive consumerism & commercialism down everyone's throats. Which is also seems like a very confusing message.
#* Especially when Donald (a poor victim that suffers from this "moral") just wanted to chillax on the holidays but was thoroughly forced to be involved in an extremely materialistic environment.
# This movie is filled to the brim with generic Christmas commercialism, where its predecessor was much more simple than that.
# Almost every message in each segment seems to have a "don't be a jerk" message that is all told in a poorly executed way since nobody with a "jerkass" quality in any segment was done right.
#* This ranges from the ''actually'' selfish characters who never got their comeuppance or even learned anything meaningful about their mistakes (i.e. Donald's nephews, Daisy to some extent, and the townspeople), to characters that are treated like a karmic "jerkass" type of character when that was actually rather contradictory since they were presented as "butt-monkey"/"designated butt-monkey" types of characters in actuality, like Mickey and Donald themselves.
# Almost all of the characters (aside from Mickey, Donald, and Goofy) are bland, unlikeable, out of character, one-dimensional to the point of having very little to no personality, and are poorly written.
#* Huey, Dewey, and Louie are portrayed into annoyingly mischievous and troublemaking spoiled brats who are irredeemable, even worse than their appearances in ''Quack Pack''. They mail themselves to Santa, so they can weasel their way out of the naughty list so they can receive presents as a way to be on the "nice" list for everything they've ever done.
#* Daisy Duck is badly flanderized, even worse than her previous appearances in ''Mickey Mouse Works'' and ''House of Mouse''. She is depicted as a self-absorbed, egotistical, and jealous jerk to Minnie (having an unfitting Mickey vs. Donald type of rivalry) who sabotaged Minnie's act for whatever reason other than jealousy and wanting to be the center of attention, which resulted in her comeuppance (where Minnie didn't need to feel like she made a mistake since it was Daisy who should've had her retribution when the skating act was trashed). She also treats Donald poorly here too, Daisy is demanding and treats Donald like crap, she never feels ''any'' sympathy or empathy for Donald in the slightest. Which is on par with her appearance in Disney's ''Legend of the Three Caballeros.''
#* Pluto, instead of being the mischievous and energetic but loyal and faithful pet dog of Mickey which he is best known for in his other appearances, is instead badly portrayed as a stupidly idiotic dog who disobeys Mickey when the latter told him to wait before Pluto was wanting to put the star on Mickey's tree as a part of Mickey's tradition, it was all done with complete disregard to what Mickey just said to Pluto, and then Mickey's house was trashed by sheer coincidence in the span of ''three to five minutes.'' Mickey gets understandably frustrated at Pluto for not listening, and he rightfully calls Pluto out for his clumsiness and impulsiveness by telling him to go outside as any pet owner would do. Feeling rejected, He leaves his home (and his collar in his doghouse) as he acts like he is seriously underappreciated by anyone in a strangely rebellious way and thought that Mickey was disowning him by kicking him out of the house (despite an earlier scene of Mickey showing unconditional love to Pluto before Mickey was busy on the phone with Minnie and was also setting up the decorations in his home). Pluto drastically runs away to the North Pole for whatever reason other than running away from his "problems". Just to come back home to Mickey when he felt 'homesick' after spending time with some reindeer as a stray dog roaming around in the North Pole, thinking about Mickey.
#* While Scrooge McDuck, Minnie, and Max aren't exactly unlikable or out of character per se, they have very little characterization thanks to poor writing.
#** Scrooge McDuck was written to serve as a reminder/plot device to Donald's nephews for why Santa Claus and having the Christmas spirit is important to everyone since Scrooge always wants to get a bagpipe from Santa by being on the nice list (which doesn't make any sense since Scrooge is rich enough to buy anything he's ever wanted. Especially when one of Donald's nephews pointed this out to him while Scrooge disagrees for whatever reason).
#** Minnie is written out to be the likable and sympathetic character throughout her segment, while this does remain true since Daisy is the one who instigated the conflict during the skating act, yet she also shows aggressive tendencies towards Daisy as if it's a ''Mickey vs. Donald'' type of rivalry that is rather out of character for her.
#** Max is written as a watered-down version of his previous appearances in both ''A Goofy Movie'' and ''An Extremely Goofy Movie'' when it comes to bringing over his girlfriend, Mona, to meet his dad and impress her. Where Max is portrayed as both, boring and seemingly selfish for resenting Goofy's antics instead of accepting Goofy for the way he is. However, Max's reaction is a lot more understandable when you consider that Goofy seemingly makes absolutely no attempt to avoid embarrassing him (for instance, he shows Max' girlfriend an old baby picture of Max for no reason), and the song used in the short suggests that his antics have already ruined Max's previous chances for romance. It also helps Max's case that he's never outright rude to Goofy, the worst he does is saying things like "this embarrasses me, so stop doing it" and rejecting Goofy's offer to have cookies inside when he wants to go for a walk.
#*** Despite all of this, Max continually thinks that it looks like Goofy's embarrassing him to the point of scaring Mona away, where Mona is rather contented and having a good time being with Goofy to the point of appreciating Max for who he is. This feels kinda pointless from Max's side of the story and it kinda makes Max seem a bit stupid.
#**** This also leaves Max on a whisper note before he makes his next appearance in ''DuckTales'' (2017).
#* Max's newfound girlfriend, Mona, has little to no personality. She barely has any lines and only serves as the typical love interest whom Max is wanting to introduce to his dad and also fears that Mona herself being embarrassed or wanting to reject Max for Goofy's awkwardness. Not to mention that she serves as a stand-in for Roxanne, right down to being voiced by Kellie Martin (see BQ #4).
# Despite Santa Claus being a running theme throughout most of the movie and was a rather big deal in the last movie, this version of Santa Claus is very unremarkable, generic, overly safe, and completely bland. Much to the point that Santa Claus is an plot device for everyone getting into the Christmas spirit.
# The film overall feels lazy and rather a disappointing attempt at recreating what ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'' accomplished but in 3D.
# '''False advertising/Misleading title:''' As stated at BQ#2, despite appearing in the title and taking up about 90% of the image in the film's promotional poster, Mickey doesn’t really have a big role despite only appearing in the film's first and final segments, not to mention that none of the film's segments even focus on him, unlike the previous film.
== Good Qualities ==
# Mickey, Goofy, and Donald are all likable characters despite them being used poorly in the film. Even if Scrooge McDuck, Mona, Minnie, and Max have very little characterization, they are all passable characters.
# Daisy Duck was massively redeemed after this movie, ''Mickey Mouse Works'', and ''Disney's House of Mouse'' where she got her classic personality back beginning with ''Mickey Mouse Clubhouse'' (except “Legend of the Three Caballos”). The same goes with all of the other characters after this movie.
#* On a side note, Daisy's laughter when Donald receives the Big Book Of Manners for Christmas is quite lovely to listen to, and the CGI animation on her when she laughs is very attractive.
# Goofy's segment "Christmas Maximus" is rather decent, especially compared to the rest. The lyrics for Max's song may be hokey and cliché, but still, it was passable. This segment actually matches the more positive and cheery tone of Christmas more than every other segment does.
#* Likewise, there are some things viewers can find good things to say about ''several'' segments like "Christmas: Impossible" for example, where some people can find Huey, Dewy, and Louie's mischievous nature entertaining despite their Flanderization and can see how it somewhat has a similar theme from the first movie's storytelling, where the trio do help Scrooge out being on the nice list at the end of the short.
#* Despite how underwhelming Donald's segment "Donald's Gift" is, there are viewers who can find good things to say about the short like how Donald trashing up the Christmas show out of pure rage and frustration can be viewed as '''hilarious or just comical.'''
# Every once in a while, there is a good visual joke or a ''actually'' funny line here and there. For example, the grumpy dog asks one of Donald's nephews the following question, "What are the odds!?".
# The CGI animation may be mediocre and sometimes uncanny, but it has good qualities where Christmas wishes came true.
#* Some characters have passable designs, like the dancing crocodiles and hippos from ''Fantasia'' at the start of the film for example.
#* In fact, what's more, is that the CGI animation was also done by Blur Studio, who did the cutscenes for the modern ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' games, the ''2020 movie'' and its sequel and Sparx*, who did the animation for Rolie Polie Olie.
# Some bits of the music here and there can be very nice to listen to.
#* "Share This Day" by Josh Kelly, for example, is a song that even detractors of this film also enjoy listening to.
#* Even Stephen James Taylor's musical score sounds nice to hear.
# While there are some mean-spirited and bad morals in most of the segments, there's none that little kids would probably get.
# Compared to DisneyToon’s next release, that being Mulan II, this movie is passable.

{{Copied|Awful Movies Wiki on the Wayback Machine}}[[File:MTUAC.png.png|thumb|Walt Disney Pictures had a rough transition into CGI.]]
'''Mickey's Twice Upon A Christmas''' is a 2004 computer-animated direct-to-video Christmas comedy and is a sequel to Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas. The segments in this video feature Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Pluto, Goofy, Max, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and Scrooge McDuck in five different segments. Along with Mickey's PhilharMagic theme park attraction, this production was one of the first to depict the Mickey Mouse series characters in CGI animation.
== Bad Qualities ==
# To write down the first problem, it is often considered a cash-in sequel from a mile away, all because of its presentation. Considering that it is one of the many not-so-good direct-to-DVD movies DisneyToon Studios has been turning out in the 2000s, especially since the 2000s was a rough time for Disney. This one is exceptionally the CGI embodiment of this.
#* It fails to retell charming Christmas stories that the previous film, ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas,'' did right. Where that movie told a simple, corny yet sweet, emotional, and heartwarming story that anyone can enjoy. This film feels like a watered-down and a lamer version of that.
# Where ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'' had three stories to share. Despite this film having five stories to tell, it feels like it has about 10 stories because of how much there are so many plots that are thrown into each other, whether if they make sense or not.
#* It goes to the point of overload where the motivations for each story don't feel like they connect with each other. Especially when the title has '''Mickey''' on the cover, yet Mickey only shows up in the first and last segment of the story that doesn't focus on him ironically enough.
# While the CGI animation isn't all that bad and every character does move naturally, it looks rather mediocre, cheap-looking, and it can sometimes look uncanny for a full-feature-length film, akin to an early Dreamcast, PlayStation 2, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo GameCube or an Xbox video game. It clearly hasn't aged well since there are some models that look a bit grotesque, rubbery and stiff, particularly the non-regular cast. It doesn't help that the next attempt at bringing Mickey and his pals into the third dimension, ''Mickey Mouse Clubhouse'', became a major improvement over this. Especially when both ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'' and ''Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers'' (which the latter is co-incidentally released the same year as this film) went with 2D animation that had ''a lot'' of effort put into it despite ''those'' also being direct-to-video movies.
#* The side characters like the elves, Santa Claus himself, and most of the other side characters have bland/ugly-looking designs.
#* Mona's design is very uncanny and looks rather out of place.
# Despite having 11 writers, The writing is very subpar, and it feels lazy. The lyrics for most of the songs are so bad that they don't even feel like properly-written songs, but rather the bad kinds of songs that wouldn't even fit in context to this film (mainly because of how nobody sings when the songs are played as if they're pop songs).
#* The dialogue is often awkward and out of place most of the time.
#* For whatever reason, Kellie Martin, who voices Max's high school crush Roxanne in ''A Goofy Movie'' (1995) and made an appearance in the ''House of Mouse,'' was recast to voice Mona since the animators thought that they wouldn't be able to reanimate Roxanne by her hair design/etc and were also too lazy to animate Roxanne's red hair, which is just unbelievable. This means that Kellie Martin voices Max's girlfriend Mona (who has little to no personality) over Roxanne (a character who had a personality).
#* The humor is lackluster, to the point where there is barely, if ever, any good comedy to be found in this movie. Some moments that include having a fat reindeer named Tiny Reindeer say "what?" as a build-up to a joke in the segment "Mickey's Dog-Gone Christmas", was rather a horribly pathetic attempt at intentional comedy.
# One of the biggest problems with the movie is that most of the segments are underwhelming, boring, and mean-spirited. Much to the point that they feel rushed, even for ''Mickey Mouse'' standards.
#* The absolute '''worst''' offender of them all is Donald's segment "Donald's Gift", which is a very mean-spirited Donald torture story, even by ''Mickey Mouse'' standards, since in that segment Donald is supposed to be written like he's in the wrong, when it's clearly obvious that he isn't. Donald just wants to take a break from Christmas by sitting by the fire and having his hot cocoa after he came back home from doing errands that have Donald Duck being put through a lot of abuse and humiliating gags. But Donald's mischievous nephews (''who torment him as soon as they step foot in'') and Daisy herself force Donald to go celebrate Christmas where Donald didn't even want to go anywhere else in the first place.
#** This leads to many miserable scenes of Donald suffering from over-the-top, humiliating coincidences as Christmas-related annoyances that treat Donald as if he deserved what he was given for being "completely selfish" and for not wanting to celebrate Christmas, which is just frustrating to watch. This makes Donald destroy an animatronic Christmas show because of this. Nobody sympathizes with Donald ''at all'' and nearly everyone puts him through more suffering just for not having "the Christmas spirit", which all makes you feel extremely bad for Donald all the way through. Especially when he never got anything in return for what Donald was put through, even when Donald was ''actually'' trying to do something good like helping a choir sing better when Donald was feeling remorseful and sorrowful after everyone guilt-tripped him.
#* Not to mention that both Mickey and Donald are equally treated like the bad guys who "deserve some form of comeuppance" for whatever reason. The former got mad at Pluto for messing up the place that was caused by Pluto's impulsive clumsiness (something some viewers would perceive Mickey berating Pluto as out-of-character for Mickey to do) where Mickey wanted to go retrieve Pluto when the latter leaves him, and the latter was because of everyone's aforementioned irredeemable acts of selfishness.
#* The final segment "Mickey's Dog-Gone Christmas" overall is pretty much a lazy rehash of the ''Mickey Mouse Works'' episode "Pluto Runs Away", albeit with the Christmas and "lost dog" themes mixed in altogether but with none of the fun, charm, and cleverness that episode had.
# '''Heaps of continuity errors:''' This film is quite difficult (practically impossible, really) to place within the greater continuity of all of the previous appearances of Max, Huey, Dewey, and Louie since the film has very poor connections and poor continuities to not only the film ''Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas'', but also other Mickey Mouse/Donald Duck/Goofy television and film appearances such as ''Goof Troop'' and ''House of Mouse''. This means that this film isn’t canon to those aforementioned appearances and therefore, set in an alternate continuity.
#* In the previous film, ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'', the four of them were all children, with Max presented as being even younger than his appearance in ''Goof Troop'' and Donald's nephews presented as still living with him.

#* Additionally, Goofy's house appears to have a rather large front yard that extends off to the side where Pete's house stood in both ''Goof Troop'' (as well as its two sequel films ''A Goofy Movie'' and ''An Extremely Goofy Movie'') and ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'', meaning that Pete's house is missing from where it ought to be in this film, although Pete himself doesn’t appear in the film, unlike the previous film.
#* And while the house's exterior does bear a decent resemblance to that of the Goof House seen in ''Goof Troop'' its interior more closely resembles that of the very different-looking Goof House seen in ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'', which itself had a completely different interior room layout (as well as a very different exterior design) from the house seen in ''Goof Troop'' (e.g. - the living room and kitchen sit on opposite sides of the house, instead of both sharing the same side and back end of the house like they did in ''Goof Troop''). Since Goofy and Max only first moved into their ''Goof Troop'' house in that series' first episode, the house they lived in ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'' has to have been a different house that they lived in prior to their first moving to Spoonerville. So, if Goofy, in this film, is supposed to still be living in the same house he's lived in since ''Goof Troop'', the inside of the house really shouldn't resemble the very different house from the first film, yet it does, further adding to this film's inconsistencies with all that came before it.
#* Plus, both the interior and exterior of McDuck Manor as seen in this movie bare very little resemblance to their appearance in ''DuckTales''.
# Much like ''Christmas with the Kranks'' (another bad Christmas movie produced and released the exact same year)'','' it gives a badly sugarcoated moral that everyone should just accept everything about Christmas and unconditionally overindulge themselves with the Christmas spirit by giving a "you're a bad person if you don't want to celebrate the holidays" type of message that encourages tons of excessive consumerism & commercialism down everyone's throats.

#* Especially when Donald (a poor victim that suffers from this "moral") just wanted to chillax on the holidays but was thoroughly forced to be involved in an extremely materialistic environment.
# This movie is filled to the brim with generic Christmas commercialism, where its predecessor was much more simple than that.
# Almost every message in each segment seems to have a "don't be a jerk" message that is all told in a poorly executed way since nobody with a "jerkass" quality in any segment was done right.

# Almost all of the characters (aside from Mickey, Donald, and Goofy) are bland, unlikeable, out of character, one-dimensional to the point of having very little to no personality, and are poorly written.
#* Huey, Dewey, and Louie are portrayed into annoyingly mischievous and troublemaking spoiled brats who are irredeemable, even worse than their appearances in ''Quack Pack''. They mail themselves to Santa, so they can weasel their way out of the naughty list so they can receive presents as a way to be on the "nice" list for everything they've ever done.
#* Daisy Duck is badly flanderized, even worse than her previous appearances in ''Mickey Mouse Works'' and ''House of Mouse''. She is depicted as a self-absorbed, egotistical, and jealous jerk to Minnie (having an unfitting Mickey vs. Donald type of rivalry) who sabotaged Minnie's act for whatever reason other than jealousy and wanting to be the center of attention, which resulted in her comeuppance (where Minnie didn't need to feel like she made a mistake since it was Daisy who should've had her retribution when the skating act was trashed). She also treats Donald poorly here too, Daisy is demanding and treats Donald like crap, she never feels ''any'' sympathy or empathy for Donald in the slightest. Which is on par with her appearance in Disney's ''Legend of the Three Caballeros.''
#* Pluto, instead of being the mischievous and energetic but loyal and faithful pet dog of Mickey which he is best known for in his other appearances, is instead badly portrayed as a stupidly idiotic dog who disobeys Mickey when the latter told him to wait before Pluto was wanting to put the star on Mickey's tree as a part of Mickey's tradition, it was all done with complete disregard to what Mickey just said to Pluto, and then Mickey's house was trashed by sheer coincidence in the span of ''three to five minutes.'' Mickey gets understandably frustrated at Pluto for not listening, and he rightfully calls Pluto out for his clumsiness and impulsiveness by telling him to go outside as any pet owner would do.

Pluto drastically runs away to the North Pole for whatever reason other than running away from his "problems". Just to come back home to Mickey when he felt 'homesick' after spending time with some reindeer as a stray dog roaming around in the North Pole, thinking about Mickey.
#* While Scrooge McDuck, Minnie, and Max aren't exactly unlikable or out of character per se, they have very little characterization thanks to poor writing.

#** Minnie is written out to be the likable and sympathetic character throughout her segment, while this does remain true since Daisy is the one who instigated the conflict during the skating act, yet she also shows aggressive tendencies towards Daisy as if it's a ''Mickey vs. Donald'' type of rivalry that is rather out of character for her.
#** Max is written as a watered-down version of his previous appearances in both ''A Goofy Movie'' and ''An Extremely Goofy Movie'' when it comes to bringing over his girlfriend, Mona, to meet his dad and impress her. Where Max is portrayed as both, boring and seemingly selfish for resenting Goofy's antics instead of accepting Goofy for the way he is.

#**** This also leaves Max on a whisper note before he makes his next appearance in ''DuckTales'' (2017).
#* Max's newfound girlfriend, Mona, has little to no personality. She barely has any lines and only serves as the typical love interest whom Max is wanting to introduce to his dad and also fears that Mona herself being embarrassed or wanting to reject Max for Goofy's awkwardness. Not to mention that she serves as a stand-in for Roxanne, right down to being voiced by Kellie Martin (see BQ #4).
# Despite Santa Claus being a running theme throughout most of the movie and was a rather big deal in the last movie, this version of Santa Claus is very unremarkable, generic, overly safe, and completely bland. Much to the point that Santa Claus is an plot device for everyone getting into the Christmas spirit.
# The film overall feels lazy and rather a disappointing attempt at recreating what ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'' accomplished but in 3D.
# '''False advertising/Misleading title:''' As stated at BQ#2, despite appearing in the title and taking up about 90% of the image in the film's promotional poster, Mickey doesn’t really have a big role despite only appearing in the film's first and final segments, not to mention that none of the film's segments even focus on him, unlike the previous film.
== Good Qualities ==
# Mickey, Goofy, and Donald are all likable characters despite them being used poorly in the film. Even if Scrooge McDuck, Mona, Minnie, and Max have very little characterization, they are all passable characters.
# Daisy Duck was massively redeemed after this movie, ''Mickey Mouse Works'', and ''Disney's House of Mouse'' where she got her classic personality back beginning with ''Mickey Mouse Clubhouse'' (except “Legend of the Three Caballos”). The same goes with all of the other characters after this movie.
#* On a side note, Daisy's laughter when Donald receives the Big Book Of Manners for Christmas is quite lovely to listen to, and the CGI animation on her when she laughs is very attractive.
# Goofy's segment "Christmas Maximus" is rather decent, especially compared to the rest. The lyrics for Max's song may be hokey and cliché, but still, it was passable. This segment actually matches the more positive and cheery tone of Christmas more than every other segment does.
#* Likewise, there are some things viewers can find good things to say about ''several'' segments like "Christmas: Impossible" for example, where some people can find Huey, Dewy, and Louie's mischievous nature entertaining despite their Flanderization and can see how it somewhat has a similar theme from the first movie's storytelling, where the trio do help Scrooge out being on the nice list at the end of the short.
#* Despite how underwhelming Donald's segment "Donald's Gift" is, there are viewers who can find good things to say about the short like how Donald trashing up the Christmas show out of pure rage and frustration can be viewed as '''hilarious or just comical.'''
# Every once in a while, there is a good visual joke or a ''actually'' funny line here and there. For example, the grumpy dog asks one of Donald's nephews the following question, "What are the odds!?".
# The CGI animation may be mediocre and sometimes uncanny, but it has good qualities where Christmas wishes came true.
#* Some characters have passable designs, like the dancing crocodiles and hippos from ''Fantasia'' at the start of the film for example.
#* In fact, what's more, is that the CGI animation was also done by Blur Studio, who did the cutscenes for the modern ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' games, the ''2020 movie'' and its sequel and Sparx*, who did the animation for Rolie Polie Olie.
# Some bits of the music here and there can be very nice to listen to.
#* "Share This Day" by Josh Kelly, for example, is a song that even detractors of this film also enjoy listening to.
#* Even Stephen James Taylor's musical score sounds nice to hear.
# While there are some mean-spirited and bad morals in most of the segments, there's none that little kids would probably get.
# Compared to DisneyToon’s next release, that being Mulan II, this movie is passable.

== Trivia ==
* This is Disney's first ever computer-animated film without Pixar overall, and also their first computer-animated film without Walt Disney Animation Studios or Pixar.

}}
'''''Limbo of the Lost''''' is a graphic adventure game developed by the British three-person development team Majestic Studios and published by G2 Games in Europe, 1C Company in Russia, and Tri Synergy in North America. This is Majestic Studio's only game released before they closed down. The game won the title of one of the worst games of all time and the greatest plagiarism in the history of video games, as a result of which the game was quickly removed from store shelves.
The story is based on the mysterious disappearance of [[wikipedia:Captain Benjamin Spooner Briggs|Captain Benjamin Spooner Briggs]].
== Background ==
In the early 1990s, Majestic Studios was originally developing the game for the Atari ST as a graphical text adventure game. Publishers were interested in the game but only if it was completed. Once they failed on completing the game, they later developed it for the Amiga 500 but now as a point-and-click adventure game. Rasputin Software agreed to publish the game and allowed a port for the Amiga 1200 and [[Amiga CD32]]. When there was no demand for those computers, it was eventually developed for Windows this time needing to learn how to use 3D development tools.
== Plot ==
Benjamin Briggs, captain of the [[wikipedia:Mary Celeste|Mary Celeste]] is stuck in Limbo after being missing from his ship. He ends up having to help Destiny win a war against Fate.
== Why It's Lost in Limbo ==
#[[Development hell|The game had been under development for 13 years]] (since 1994 to 2007). Due to this, most of various elements and gameplay mechanics were horribly aged at the release.
#There is huge amounts of plagiarism. From backgrounds, assets, FMVs, menus, and font. The developers did little to hide that they were stolen from different sources. Notable sources of theft include [[The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion]], [[Return To Castle Wolfenstein]], Enclave, [[Diablo II]], [[Painkiller]], [[World of Warcraft]], [[Thief: The Dark Project]], [[Beetlejuice]], and [[Spawn]].
#*There's a scene where Briggs plays the flute that makes the first few notes from the iconic Indiana Jones theme. They didn't just steal the song, they stole the notes from an easter egg in [[Serious Sam]]. '''That's right, the developers couldn't be bothered to make a simple tune themselves or even make their own version of the Indiana Jones theme!'''
#The cutscenes are reminiscent of the [[Link: The Faces of Evil and Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon|Zelda CD-i games]] in which the characters have ungodly animations, non-existent lip-syncing, and constantly zoom in and out. Briggs himself is easily the worst offender during cutscenes because he will stare blankly at nothing as if he's not alive and sometimes would awkwardly smile at the player.
#Other than the mystery of his disappearance, there's no reason why Benjamin Briggs is the main character. There's no mention of his family or his crew from the Mary Celeste. The protagonist could have been literally anyone and the story wouldn't change at all. In fact, Briggs looks more like DarksydePhil with blue eyes and less weight than what he looks like in real life.
#The DVD that came included with the game elaborates more on the plot than the game itself. It feels like it should've played at the very beginning of the game and not be on a separate disk! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIL_OWlNbyE|The footage also looks like it was edited by someone who used Windows Movie Maker for the first time]. And just like the game, there is also plagiarism in the form of videos which are from the CryEngine 2 demo and the Pirates of the Caribbean game released in 2003.
#The character models all look hideous, looking more like they were from a cutscene in an adventure game from 1997, rather than a game made in 2007!
#The screens are screenshots from plagiarized games, some of which are mentioned in W.I.S. #2. The developers didn't think of having the screens being connected, however; like, for example, if there is an open door shown from a screenshot from a different game, the game doesn't show that you can go through that door. It became a meme to put Benjamin Briggs in screenshots from different games and media because of this.<ref>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/features</ref>
#Some of the solutions to puzzles are practically impossible to solve unless you're using a guide.
#*One puzzle requires you to get ingredients for a sleeping potion that the cook Cranny F*ggot (yes, that's her name) can use to make one for you in order to get a guard to fall asleep (who's already sleeping prior to taking the potion) in order for you to steal the key around his neck. One of the ingredients is tequila. How do you get it? You mix water with a worm! How does that make any sense?!
#*You need to make a fake drink called the "soul of a warrior" that's a green liquid in order to take the real drink. You have to mix a bottle of water with a bag of saffron that magically makes the water turn green! Even if you follow the logic with the color of both items, the red saffron and blue water would make the liquid yellow, not green!
#Sometimes when the cutscene ends, you automatically leave the screen that you were in. This is a bad design because you end up missing important items that were on that screen. You end up wasting time to go back to the previous screen and get the item.
#The compass in the UI never stops spinning, which makes it pointless as to why it's there in the first place. It stops spinning when you move the cursor to where you can move to a different room, but it doesn't always work.
#There's a part where you have to find a secret entrance into a dungeon. It's not made obvious what the solution is. What you have to do is go to a specific spot in a bar and move the cursor until it changes and then you click at it. How in the world would anyone know that?! Even if you did know what to do, it's still a hassle because since this is a point and click game, every time you click you move to that spot.
#The game crashes frequently.
#Some items are too difficult to click on because you have to click on specific pixels on the item itself in order to interact or pick it up. Some items are too difficult to spot due to limited visibility. It doesn't help that some items that you would think are important and are easily found are items that you can't pick up.
#Terrible audio mixing.
#Frequent grammar errors in sentences. There is also more than one use of periods when a sentence ends, for some reason.
#Horrible voice acting that's all being done by one person.
#*The voice actor starts to have a coughing fit for a few seconds in the middle of the dialogue for one of the characters. The captions list the coughing, but the character himself is moving his lips as if he's speaking, indicating this wasn't meant to happen.
#*The main character, Benjamin Briggs, despite being an American in real-life history, sounds more like a person with a British accent in this game.
#There's no way to change the level of the volume in the game. That includes music, sound effects, and dialogue. If you change the volume in the audio mixer, the volume will be changed accordingly, but once you go to another room, the volume level goes back to where it was before.
#A very bizarre ending that [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URcvdDtnM_0|needs to be seen to be believed].
== Redeeming Qualities ==
#Voice acting can be so bad it's good.
#The main theme song is actually decent.
== Reception ==
The game has a negative reception from the few critics that played the game when it released and is considered as one of the worst games of all-time. It currently has a 2.15 on GameFAQs. Polish video game magazine CD-Action gave the game a -1 out of 10 for the first time in the magazine's history.
On June 12, Tri Synergy stopped shipping the game due to allegations of plagiarism. They claim that they had no idea that there was anything stolen in the game and Majestic Studios says that they didn't steal anything and claim that it was the doing of an unnamed outsourced company. Because of this, the game is very rare and can cost hundreds of dollars in secondhand markets. It was even discovered that the Amiga demo made in the 1990s also has plagiarized materials in it.
The ending hinted at a sequel with the title Limbo of the Lost II: Flight to Freedom, but obviously this wasn't going to be made because of its reception and the closure of Majestic Studios.
BartekGM hailed it as the worst game of all time due to mass plagiarism, giving it a -2/10 rating, and the game held that title until episode 100 when it was finally dethroned by CrazyBus. NRGeek also found it to be the worst game he's ever played, criticizing literally everything.
== Trivia ==
*One of the developers pretended to be a fan of the game with the username FABLE and discouraged people from using guides due to how "disrespectful" it would be to the developers for their hard work for creating the puzzles. Things got so bad that the same developer using the username MSTUDIOS on the forum backed himself up. The site owner noticed that both accounts have the same IP address, but MSTUDIOS said that FABLE is a play tester and Majestic Studios only has one computer for "safety reasons." The site owner didn't believe his lie and locked the thread.<ref>https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/233736/1</ref>
*The name Cranny F*ggot may be based on the late English TV chef Fanny Cradock and the traditional dish in the United Kingdom.
*Planning for the game began as early as 1990, when the company that produced the game, Majestic Studios, was founded.

'''''The Sniper 2'''''<ref>Known as ''The Sniper 2 ~Bullet of Nightmare~'' (''THE スナイパー2 ~悪夢の銃弾~ The Sunaipā 2 ~Akumu no Jūdan~'') in Japan.</ref> is a 2002 video game released for the PlayStation 2. Developed by Best Media and published by D3 Publisher in Japan and Midas Interactive Entertainment in Europe. The game is a sequel to the Japan-only [[PlayStation]] game ''Simple 1500 Series Vol.056: The Sniper''. The game is quite often considered one of the worst, if not the worst Playstation 2 game and even one of the worst games of all time.
== Gameplay ==
The gameplay is quite simple, the player's task is to hit a certain person, if the ammo runs out or he hits the wrong person, the player has to start the mission again. The game consists of 16 missions where once the player has to shoot down one of the people and once a cannon.
== Why It Needs To Get Sniped ==
# For some reason, the game was also released outside of Japan despite the fact that the first part was released only in Japan, which actually doesn't make sense, because after all, who waited for the continuation without knowing the first installment of the series?
# Abhorrent graphics for a PS2 game that looks more like a early PS1 game, with everything consisting of blocky models and low-quality textures, it looks awful for 2002 standards. [[No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way]], [[Hitman 2: Silent Assassin]], [[Red Faction 2]], [[Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast]], [[Battlefield 1942]], [[Medal of Honor: Allied Assault]] [[Medal of Honor Frontline|and Frontline]], [[Timesplitters 2]] and [[Serious Sam: The Second Encounter]] all came out the same year and they look miles better.
# The story is incredibly strange, inconsistent and has a lot of plot holes:
#*The entire story revolves around one of the most stupid plot twists in video game history, which had received no foreshadowing in the first game and is never explained, let alone solved.
#**The opening cutscene heavily implies that the point of the whole story is to find an explanation to this twist, but it's quickly shelved and never explored.
#*Localized by a team who were obviously unaware (or just didn't care) that the original game never came out in the West. For this reason, the story is very hard to follow, as the player is expected to have prior knowledge of the first game.
#*It cannot be emphasized enough how the entire plot basically occurs because the protagonist, Harry, decided to give a ride to a random hitchhiker on the road, who then accompanied him to a food kiosk that just so happened to be run by a CIA agent under cover where the main villain was expecting them.
#**Said hitchhiker tags along for most of the game, and yet he has no backstory, nor does he have a motive to fight the main villain.
#*The main villain barely does anything in the story (he appears a total of thrice before the final mission, and meets the protagonist only once), doesn't have a reason to do what he does, and gets reduced to the protagonist's sidekick near the end of the game. When this happens, there is no one to step up to the plate.
# The gameplay is very Dull and monotonous for a PS2 game and looks like a NES game because you just trying to shot someone. This game barely qualifies as a game.
# Awful cutscenes with little-to-no animation, wooden voice acting, text in the middle of the screen, and laughably bad dialogue, and also the text's font is in Comic Sans, the worst font ever known.
#The dialogue is horrible, most of it being either generic special agent speech or lines that attempt really hard to be dark and serious, only to end up as unintentionally funny when viewed alongside the game's horrible cutscenes or put in the context of the game's horrible story.
# The physics is really terrible because you can barely shot a enemy and sometimes the game is even almost impossible to beat.
# The characters are one dimensional and stereotypical.
# The pacing of the game is horrible.
#* Every single time you lose, you need to sit through a loading screen (which takes forever to sit through), the game over screen, another loading screen, the opening cutscene (for some reason), ''yet another loading screen,'' and finally you're back to the mission selection screen. From there, after yet another loading screen, you can finally get to actually play the game.
#* The same thing happens if you actually beat the mission, meaning that you spend more time waiting for the game to begin than actually playing the game. The only difference is that this time, you need to sit through the credits, too, for some reason.
# The game has little room for error, in light of its horrible mechanics:
#* The timing of the bullet feels completely off compared to the actual bullet shown on the screen, meaning that you only have a very narrow window of time to fire the shot, and hope that it hits the target.
#* When the bullet hits the ground, it doesn't leave any visual effects. For this reason, there is nothing to cue you in on whether the bullet actually hit the intended target or not.
#* The game gives you a picture of your target at the beginning of the mission, but in most pictures there are several people, and the game doesn't tell you who the target is. The horrible character models don't make things any easier, either.
#* There is a day-night cycle, which on paper would have been very good for the time. However, several targets only appear at specific times of day, and the game never tells you that. If you start the mission at the wrong time, the only possible course of action is to fail on purpose and restart the mission only to change the time of day, hoping that the target actually shows up.
#* The game is built around trial-and-error, but this clashes with the fact that most missions give you only one bullet to work with, meaning that you have very little room for experimentation.
# The "final boss" is just an old man who, apart from not having any weapons, tries to flee out in the open, making the final level extremely easy, bland and forgettable.
# Really bad controls. The Square button brings up the scope, the X button is used to zoom, the Circle button removes the zoom, and R2 shoots. Also, the controls are ripped straight from the first game without any modifications.
# Only 16 Missions, which makes the game incredibly short.
== Redeeming Qualities ==
# The intro is fairly bearable by PlayStation 2 standards, although more detail could be added.
# Cutscenes can be so bad they're good thanks to terrible voice acting.
== Reception ==
The game received an overwhelmingly negative reception and was considered by many to be the worst Playstaion 2 game and even one of the worst games of all time due to long cutscenes, terrible controls and graphics.
''Thunderbolt'' gave the game a 1/10, calling it the worst game he ever played. NRGeek also ranked the game as the worst he's ever played, worse than Limbo of the Lost.

}}'''''Air Control''''' is a [[Simulation game|flight simulation game]] developed and published by Killjoy Games for Microsoft Windows. The game runs on the Unity 5 engine and was released on May 23, 2014. Within months of its release, it was pulled from Steam. Presumably due to the terrible reception, the developer used a sockpuppet account to release their second game, ''Zen Fish Sim''. The game has been hailed as the worst game ever released on Steam as well as one of the worst games of all time.
==Plot==
The "Casual Mode part 1" has an extremely convoluted story that begins with human, dwarf, and zombie airline leaders meeting up at a campfire to plan a war. At first, you play as a flight attendant doing a series of increasingly strange tasks, but soon acquire enough "points" to "modify the cabin." This results in the player ending up on a plane full of zombies or a stone plane full of dwarves, they will talk to you in a very strange dialogue and mention the war they are planning. Later, back to a normal plane, you must find a zombie terrorist disguised as a normal passenger (this is made easier by the fact that he isn't disguised at all). After dealing with the zombie terrorist, you see a medieval knight next to a modern person talking on a cliché cliffhanger. After the strange dialogue cutscene, you warp to a double-deck plane and then shoot terrorists who are trying to "steal the plane" as the game puts it. After shooting terrorists, you warp to the "world's longest plane" which immediately crashes in a wasteland, then you time shift to before the crash and then after the plane crashed. In the aftermath of the crash, you shoot a terrorist who survived the crash and then take control of a nearby propeller plane and fly back to civilization.
In "Casual Mode part 2" you get sent to a plane where there are surgeons and organs lying around. After this, you warp to another double-deck plane and must shoot another terrorist trying to hijack the plane. After this, you warp to a plane taking off, but soon the engines fail and you survive the crash by jumping from the plane in midair. After this, you warp to another plane and must find another zombie terrorist disguised as a normal passenger but with the graphics blurred and distorted like the flight attendant was drunk. Then there is a video gaming parody show on the plane, it crashes again on a wasteland, and you must find a helicopter. When you touch the helicopter, you suddenly warp to control a plane to a destination, but when reaching the destination, there is a cutscene of your plane falling into the seawater. Then you get sent to random planes including one with surgeons and another with flying chairs and zero gravity. Then your time shifts to a futuristic city, then to one of the tutorial maps for the Unity engine, where you have to find the exit. Then you get sent to random planes including a plane full of wild animals and another plane with skeleton passengers and random organs vaguely associated with them. Then some more bizarre random things happen, possibly including a brief section where the player must control a semi-truck, a plane piloted by a zombie which has wood-panel floors and lounge furniture instead of chairs, and a section where the plane is sinking for no apparent reason.
In Realistic Mode, all you get to do on the plane is hear an audio stolen from ''Delta Air Lines'', lock the doors, walk around it and stare at the petrified-looking passengers. Eventually, you get to actually control the plane to a destination.
In Killjoy Mode you begin the game already controlling a plane to a destination. What was supposed to happen after this is unknown since the game will crash if you manage to reach the destination.
== Gameplay ==
The gameplay is quite varied, one time we fly a plane from place to place, another time we drive a truck from place to place and other times we shoot at enemies, sometimes the player also plays the role of a steward performing typical tasks for this profession, such as collecting garbage or providing services for passengers. The player is also sometimes given other forms of gameplay such as Flappy Bird in an airplane. The game is divided into 3 stages of the game, each of which differs in tasks and mini-games.
== Why It's a Planewreck ==
# It cost $6 on release but was a broken scam of a game and could be completed within 30 minutes if the game worked correctly which I for such a game is highly overpriced and rather such a game should be free, not paid.
# Bad first impression, the plane on the title screen is '''underwater'''. Not helped by the fact that the background music is dramatic and the menu is terrible to navigate so the player can get frustrated very quickly with annoying music and terrible navigation that makes it difficult to select any option.
# Poorly designed and programmed UI: every time you move the mouse you'll also move the camera and the game's title in the main menu simply sits above the aircraft without any alignment. Pop-up messages don't stop the camera from moving (which should have been very easy to program) and can stack on top of each other and make the text on each pop-up difficult to read. There are awkwardly placed "Lock Cursor" buttons that reset the cursor to the center of the screen, which would not have been needed if the cursor was actually locked to the center and only controlled the camera.
# The game is infested with [[Game glitches|bugs that break essential game mechanics]] such as camera movement, or literally breaking the game either by causing the game to stop responding or causing an unhandled exception that crashes the game. Darklordjadow1 described ''Air Control'' as being "Built out of bugs" due to the absurd amount of bugs in the game. Notable examples below:
#* The game explains how to work around a game bug that causes the cursor to disappear ''while you are playing the game'', which means that the developer knew about the bug and didn't care to fix it before publishing the game. However, doing what it says to do (press Alt and Tab at the same time) can cause the game controls to break.
#* Any attempt to restart a level or try a different mode breaks the game by either causing the mouse look and movement keys to stop functioning or rendering levels unwinnable.
#* On the missions where you have a firearm, the weapon will sometimes not reload completely, as the animations do not finish correctly, preventing you from firing a weapon until you complete the mission or die and respawn.
#* If you die during one of the shooting segments, the enemy AI does not reset and they will continue shooting at your respawn location, often resulting in death as soon as you spawn in.
#* When flying a propeller plane you sometimes warp to an absurdly far away position that causes the game to lag immensely and the distance to goal counter to display NaN (Not a Number). In this state, you cannot do anything and have to restart the game.
#* Also when flying a propeller plane, sometimes the plane suddenly stalls and you lose control of the plane, and the only way to fix this is to restart the level.
#* Activating the keypad that is used to open a door will drastically reduce the frame rate to below '''''five frames per second'''''. Similarly, the anti-gravity seats in one level will drop the frame rate when you bump into them.
#* In Realistic Mode, when controlling the plane, the camera orients itself at weird angles making it disorienting and nigh impossible to tell how far you are from the ground. You can fly a plane that can accelerate upwards from no speed which is the furthest from realistic as you can get. Sometimes the camera warps to ''inside'' the plane which makes it absolutely impossible to see outside the plane.
#* In Killjoy Mode the game crashes when you land the plane.
#The gameplay is painfully repetitive as most activities are performed over and over again, many times the player has to be a stewardess, shoot the same enemies and fly the plane from the same place to the same place. There are unique mini-games but they are few and gruesomely short.
#*For the most part, the gameplay is so simple that it barely qualifies as a game.
# There is no way to save game progress, when the game breaks or you exit the game, you have to restart the game from the beginning and this already shows the laziness of the creator and for this you have to finish everything in one fell swoop instead of being able to finish this game, for example, tomorrow.
# Many grammar errors in the subtitles accompany the nonsensical tasks (ex: ''"You need to find reason while airplane fell down"''; to do this, you... open a door) by which it can be concluded that the author had very little or no English knowledge and used the goggle translator poorly or blindly translated sentences.
# Casual Mode begins with you completing tasks flight attendants are assigned to do (delivering coffee, picking up pillows, etc.), before placing you in the position of bizarre and mundane tasks such as moving from the cockpit and back, picking up bags of garbage the passengers spontaneously generate, and occasionally grabbing a Glock or a WW2 Tommygun to shoot terrorists. It's a very repetitive game and sometimes it has things that have nothing to do with such work.
# Casual Mode has a crappy plane version of ''Flappy Bird''. The bird is replaced with a plane and the pipes are replaced with mountains, but the basic mechanics of tapping to move upwards are still in the game. Brilliantly, this uses the same model of the plane as the rest of the game, including the entire interior, and so it runs terribly. The music playing during that stage is a ripoff of ProleteR's ''Faidherbe Square'', to boot.
# As a mechanic, all your tasks consist of simply pressing a button when it turns red which is incredibly stupid and is virtually no gameplay.
# When you're piloting the plane (available in both Casual and Killjoy Mode), you must deal with awful controls, terrible camera angles, and having to quit the game and restart it if you crash the plane which you'll propably do that because there is a very good chance that you will rather crash into the ground or a building somewhere.
# Terrible graphics that looks like a PS1, N64, Saturn, or Dreamcast game and visuals, with blocky and catatonic looking passengers, terrorists that have no animation and '''''explode''''' when they die, and "windows" which are just a static sky texture.
# If you expected a coherent plot rather than a series of bizarre nonsequiturs, you came to the wrong place, the plot consists almost entirely of random events and has a lot of plot holes in it, and it might as well not be there.
# In spite of the title screen showing an underwater plane, the in-game plane is quite a happy landing and taking off from the water which doesn't really make sense because it's hard to explain the whole coincidence or oversight.
# '''Copyright violation:''' the developers unauthorizedly used the audio of the ''Delta Air Lines'' safety video. The artwork of the game also is a stolen artwork of a ''PrivatAir Boeing 787'' in flight.

==The Only Redeeming Quality==
# It is basically the gaming equivalent of a B movie made mostly from stock footage, and if played in the right frame of mind (i.e. with friends) it is incredibly funny.
== Reception ==
The game was crushed on the day of its release by negative reviews criticizing the graphics, gameplay, story, controls and almost everything else, and the game was hailed as the worst game ever to hit Steam, earning the lowest rating on this platform in history, even worse than games like FlatOut 3 or Airport Simulator 2014, and even as one of the worst games of all time and compared to games such as Big Rigs.
''GameSpot'''s Kevin VanOrd awarded the game a 1/10 which is the lowest rating that can Gamespot give for the game (only ''Big Rigs and Ride to Hell: Retribution'' got that grade beside this game), stating it was unthinkable how anyone could ask for money for this "broken scam masquerading as a computer game".
''Air Control'' was mocked and ridiculed by gamers to the extent that Valve pulled it from Steam months after it was released. Darklordjadow1 was scared by the fact that this game is where Valve draws the line of [[Steam Greenlight|quality required for a game to be on Steam]]. He also said, "''Air control is not a game, it is a simulation of the effects of extended drug use!''". Tyler Wilde, writing for PC Gamer, called the game "one giant bug" and advised players not to purchase the game. Wilde also found that the game contains audio from the Delta Air Lines safety video.
Caddicarus listed ''Air Control'' as the #2 worst game of 2014 behind ''[[The Slaughtering Grounds]]'', and he was unable to describe the game because he was laughing so much at the game's quality, before calmly saying it was delisted from Steam.
The game is known in the French online community for being reviewed by TheFantasio974 (aka just "Fanta"); he describes it as ''"the worst game on Steam"'' and is in constant shock and hilarity at the surrealistically bad quality of the game. During the "''Flappy Bird''" segment, he sings along to the Faidherbe Square music, repeating ''"I am strolling in my plane because it is totally awesome"'', which achieved a level of memetic status.
Due to massive plagiarism, BartekGM compared the game to Limbo of the Lost and unlike the second game gave a 0/10 for literally everything when the first game had at least a 2/10 for audio. NRGeek was also harshly critical of the game and even said he wanted to know what the origins of the game were, even stating that it was an alpha version rather than a game.

'''''The Graveyard''''' is a computer art "game" developed by Belgian developer Tale of Tales (the same creators of Sunset) in which the player assumes the role of an elderly woman walking through a graveyard to a bench. A song begins to play, after which the elderly woman walks out of the graveyard and the game ends and the game was inspired by Tibetan village scene in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. The game, despite receiving several awards, was crushed by players and online reviewers with negative reviews due to non-existent gameplay and ridiculously short playthrough time and high price.
== "Gameplay" ==
The only gameplay in the game is to get Grandma from the end of the cemetery to the bench in the center of the cemetery, after which the player has to sit on this bench and the music starts. When the music ends, the player must get up from the bench and go back to the end of the graveyard. The player can move in all directions.
== Why It Belongs In A Graveyard Indeed ==
#It is extremely short, being finished in just a few minutes with no challenge or captivation whatsoever, even demos of games have longer playthrough times which is unforgivable.
#You have to pay the outrageous price of five dollars for it, and the "game" itself is far less than a shareware demo and looks like a 3D demo made by an amateur.
#To add insult to injury, there actually is a demo of this game and the only difference is that the only available ending is the one in which the elderly woman dies upon sitting on the bench.
#Completely non-existent gameplay that's almost on par with [[CrazyBus]], the only gameplay is to get to the bench, sit on the bench, and back. The gameplay can be literally presented on YouTube.
#The graphics are absolutely terrible and looks like a Playstation 1, Nintendo 64 or Sega Saturn game.
#*The old lady model also looks bad and looks like a unfinished model from the Nintendo 64.
#The song playing when the old lady sits on the bench could actually be touching if it wasn't for most of the lyrics being strange and cryptic.
== The Only Reedeming Quality ==
# This is an early game to use the Unity engine in the 2000s. Most games are a very view.
== Reception ==
The game won several awards, including one of the best indie games of 2009, but the game was met with negative feedback from gamers and online reviewers who criticized the non-existent gameplay, the game's length of several minutes, and the bizarre music or poor graphics. While the game has received mixed reviews on Steam, most of the "positive" reviews are either sarcastic or disguised negative reviews.
NRGeek stated that it's not a game and added that it's not even worth five dollars, he also criticized the old lady's death and even added that grandma might as well go to this bench herself and sit on it and come back.
The game also made it to the DX list of the worst games you can find on Steam.

'''''Pizza Dude''''' is an action game developed by [[Team6 Game Studios]] and published by Frogster Interactive for Microsoft Windows on June 10, 2005. The game re-utilizes Team6's engine for ''Manhattan Chase''. Most assets were later reused in ''[[Motorbike Challenge]]'' by Team6, such as the map and the driving system. The game is the second most recognizable and also the most infamous game right after FlatOut 3: Chaos & Destruction.
== Plot ==
The pizzeria owner ran away and went out of business due to debt and entrusted the mission to one of his nephews to continue his career for him, that's the whole story.
== Gameplay ==
The gameplay is as simple as building a flail, you make a pizza, sit in the vehicle and drive it to the customer and come back, you do the whole thing over and over again.
== Why It Makes You Not Want to Order Pizza ==
# The menu is literally the same as in other Team6 games, the absolute only thing that has been changed in relation to other games from this studio is the background and nothing else clearly showing the low budget that went into this production.
# Terrible graphics for a 2005 game that resembles a game released in 1996, the textures are really low resolution and the models are quite lazy and even angular at times. Even Need for Speed 2 has nicer graphics than this, but the worst part is the faces that look like they've been heavily elongated or run over with a roller.
# The intro does not explain the plot at all, but only the interior of our pizzeria. To know the plot, you have to look inside the box, and the plot itself is also very simple.
# In some computers, the game is unreliable and crashes constantly. If you fail to deliver a pizza on time the game crashes after the screen turns white.
# The car can push you forward indefinitely as long as you're in front of the car, and you don't die or get knocked off when a car pushes you literally as if the developers didn't care what the player does and forgot to refine even the most basic things.
# Awful vehicle handling as vehicles either turn very slowly or oversteer causing the player to hit walls a lot and on top of that if you fall you can't get up normally though you can fortunately reset the position of the vehicle but you should still be able to get back up normally.
# The city is empty and lifeless. There are no actual models of people to be found anywhere in the city except you, a basketball player in an alley, a man inside an apartment, and a priest in a church, which is almost like ''[[London Cab Challenge]]''.
#* The city has also been reused in ''Motorbike Challenge'', which was released a year later.
# The gameplay is painfully repetitive, you just make the pizza, get in the vehicle and deliver the pizza to its destination, then go back to your pizzeria, and so on and so on until the end of the game.
# Somehow you can't climb small slopes in the first gear, but you can while going in reverse which in total is a lack of logic and a great shortcoming and you can get the impression that the game was untested.
# The character animations are really terrible. It is especially visible when you fall, jump, and run because they consist of just a few frames of animation just like [[Bubsy 3D]] which was released almost 10 years earlier.
# If you go to a high enough place and you repeatedly press the jump button, you can't fall because of the invisible ceiling that was added for some unknown reason and that the player is able to jump over, so that he is able to levitate over the city and the game becomes absolutely unplayable.
# You can randomly find a piece of a wall that you can always crash into, even though it's invisible from one side normally almost like Big Rigs except you can't walk through buildings, collision detection is really bad and you get the impression that the developers don't care if the player will be able to walk through walls or not.
# The city is filled to the brim with advertisements for other Team6 games, such as ''[[Taxi Racer New York 2]]'' or ''Manhattan Chase'' and clearly shows the selfishness of the developers and the attempt to force the purchase of other games from Team 6, no other company does.
# A lot of bugs glitches, for example you can often go beyond the map, especially if you fall into the river and in the garden of one of the residences and there are so many bugs and shortcomings that you can get the impression that the game was made in a hurry.
# The box textures are stolen from ''[[Half-life (video game)|Half-life]]'' and this is already a violation of copyright and at the same time a great laziness because instead of creating your own, you are stealing from someone else.
# The game is so short that you can even finish it in 3 minutes, in the "videos" section there is a speedrun to prove it.
== Redeeming Qualities ==
# At least the interface is well done and all the information is given on a plate so the player won't have to think about anything.
# An unnatural face length can be extremely hilarious.

== Reception ==
The game was universally panned by European critics. ''Pizza Dude'' received awards for 2nd place in the worst game of the year by 4Players for 2006 and the worst game of 2006 by PC Powerplay (Germany). The Russian website, Absolute Games (ag.ru) rated the game 1/100, summarizing "But it’s better not to suffer, press Alt + F4 and throw Pizza Dude to where the rotten pizza usually flies". It is one of the most recognizable and hated games from Team 6 Game Studios next to FlatOut 3: Chaos & Destrustion.

'''''The Slaughtering Grounds''''' is a zombie first-person shooter game developed and published by [[Digital Homicide Studios]]. It was released for Microsoft Windows on October 31, 2014, via Steam before being permanently removed after the developer was banned from Steam for filing a lawsuit against Steam customers. The game is considered to be one of the worst games on Steam, one of the worst games of 2014 with [[Air Control]] and also one of the worst games of all-time and also one of the worst, if not the worst FPS game of all-time.
== Plot ==
Judging by the character bios, you live in a post-apocalyptic world flooded by blood-thirsty zombies. You can control either a biker named Snake, a US military soldier named Bob, or an unnamed LAPD SWAT officer through three scenarios of the wasteland.
The objective is to fight the zombies until a timer runs out. Your only help is a cargo plane that periodically drops ammo. Sometimes you will be attacked by special enemies such as mummy-looking zombies and a giant demon-like creature.
== Gameplay ==
The game consists of 3 levels that look and consist of practically the same thing (i.e. getting from one place to another and eliminating hordes of opponents, which are more and more on the map). After completing the third level, the player returns to the beginning of the first level and everything starts again and so on.
==Why It Should Be Slaughtered==
#'''''It costs $10 at launch''''' despite being obviously unfinished and nowhere ready for release, not even as an Early Access title which clearly shows that the developers did not know moderation at all and simply stuck the game for the first possible price when the game should be rather free.
#*Experienced game developers stated that there was so little real work behind ''The Slaughtering Grounds'' that the entire game could be developed within '''a single day''' or even a few hours.
#[[Game glitches|Massive glitches and programming errors]], such as a plane moving sideways and glass floors being completely invisible leaving you standing or walking in mid-air. This is because the game is mostly made out of pre-made assets with little real work nor bug testing, in other words, the developers didn't even want to test the game and they were making this game just in a hurry to release this game as soon as possible. This style of game development is now known as "[[asset flipping]]".
#*Due to the game being made out of mismatched stock assets, such as cartoony models mixed with realistic ones and similar, the visuals are very ugly.
#Despite looking different, all the enemies have the same AI behavior so it's only 1 enemy type with different skins. The zombies have zero AI besides chasing and tackling the player. Once they start chasing you, ''they never stop'', there's no option to sprint to get away from them, you can't outrun them, and once you run out of ammo, it becomes impossible to get rid of them, and again, we are dealing here with proof that no one even tested this game and that the developers were so lazy that they did not even want to balance the game or even create separate opponents that would differ in more than just texture and model.
#*Enemies '''''<u>never stop spawning!</u>''''' You'll quickly find yourself being chased by a huge mob of zombies that just keeps getting bigger and bigger, and then even bigger so even with a full warehouse, you have no chance to win against all this horde of opponents.
#*If that wasn't enough, the zombies give you damage not by hurting you, but rather, by simply '''''<u>touching you!</u>'''''
#Abysmal frame rate that frequently drops. The insanely huge amount of enemies on the map causes the frame rate to drop even worse although the game looks like it was released in 2000 rather than in 2014.
#Dying doesn't reset any timers or even end the game so there's no punishment for dying. Dying gets rid of the mob of enemies chasing you so dying may benefit you. The game is impossible to win because clearing objectives just resets them and clearing level 3 returns you to level 1, and also completely impossible to lose because failing to clear objectives does nothing and you have unlimited lives, and this is even worse than in arcade games from the 70's, because even their death was punishable and the gameplay itself. Not only it becomes boring very quickly, but it also makes no sense at all, if you do the same thing without much purpose.
#There is no replay value whatsoever. The game only has useless unlockables which are very expensive, that is, after completing these 3 levels as in [[Data Design Interactive platform games|Ninjabread Man]], you probably won't even want to come back to this game, especially because of all the flaws that this production has.
#Weapons aren't properly lined up with the aiming reticle; some of them block your field of view so again, the developers, if they ever tested this game at all, just didn't shoot, especially with a sniper rifle.
#No audio or visual cues to let you know an enemy is attacking you off-screen which can lead to very cheap deaths that you won't even know how to prevent or worse, you'll have to spin back and forth non-stop to make sure you don't die as if the developers were so lazy that they didn't want even such a simple thing to do.
#'''The timer counts 61 seconds per minute.''' When the minutes counter counts down, the seconds counter incorrectly resets to 60 seconds instead of 59 causing a leap second to occur every minute.
#*The standard timer included in Unity already counts minutes correctly, '''meaning this mistake had to be done on purpose.'''
#The only way to clear a stage is to run the timer out, which takes 16 minutes & 16 seconds. You can beat the game by starting level 1, and then literally leaving the game unattended and doing something else for 48 minutes & 48 seconds. In other words, the game is incredibly unfinished, and it looks like it was made in a big hurry without even bothering with the fact that you can go off the map like in [[Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing and Midnight Race Club: Supercharged!|Big Rigs]].
#The radar indicating where the enemies are doesn't move or rotate when you do, making it completely useless because it doesn't correctly tell you where the enemies are which clearly shows that the developers didn't care how the radar and anything else in the game worked and just took care of it to earn as much as possible.
#Pausing the game doesn't pause the game. The pause menu appears, but the gameplay is not suspended, leaving you defenceless, so you can't even leave the game for even a minute, because if you do it, you will automatically die, due to the growing number of enemies.
#There is only one type of ammo you can pick up. When you pick up ammo, it reloads the gun you're holding, which makes it pointless to use anything besides the stronger weapons, which is incredibly outdated for 2014, and one could get the impression that the development of the game began in 1991, and was completed only in 2014 and is of course also proof that the developers did not even try.
#*'''Even games from over 3 decades ago knew how to make different types of ammo pickups.'''
#When you die, the zombies stomp on your corpse, which somehow causes you to take damage '''before''' respawning so you'll respawn with your health below 100% which is unforgivable because they can't refine anything, and even in Doom from 1993, they were able to do something like that.
#The only music in the game is a short obnoxious loop that never stops and it lasts only 10 seconds, which is not much longer than in Hong Kong 97, which makes it incredibly quickly annoying and will make you want to mute your computer's speakers so that you don't listen anymore, that is, the developers simply didn't even have an interesting idea to compose something much more tolerable to listen to.
#*Also, the music doesn't fit right with the overall atmosphere of the game.
#The blood splatter effects were taken from images found on Google Search. You can see how the white backgrounds on the images weren't cut out properly, leaving white pixel artifacts on the images. Digital Homicide eventually replaced the blood splatter effects with a new transparent set, but still a blatant Google search regardless simply put, the developers instead of creating their textures and just taking them off the goggle graphics were lazy to this extent.
#There are only 3 levels, and each level is almost the same. The first level spawns so many zombies, that the frame rate chugs heavily with just 3 endlessly repetitive levels, it's incredibly repetitive gameplay that beats many games from studios like Phoenix Games or even Blast! Entertainment in terms of boredom.
==Reception==
''The Slaughtering Grounds'' is infamous for starting the Digital Homicide controversies after the developers attacked anyone who said anything negative about the game. Several YouTubers went on to declare The Slaughtering Grounds as one of the worst games of 2014, one of the worst games on Steam, one of the worst, if not the worst FPS game of all time, and even one of the worst games of all time, including Angry Joe, Jim Sterling, Caddicarus, Projared, etc.
Darklordjadow1 featured this game during his first Indie game review special. When reviewing the game, he said: "''The entire game feels like nothing was ever finished, like they didn't know how to program objectives, timers, AI, or ammo so they just left this unfinished shit in the game that doesn't work!''"
James Stephanie Sterling (known online as Jim Sterling) on the other hand was caught in a long-lasting feud with Digital Homicide which [[Digital Homicide's lawsuits|escalated to a lawsuit against her]] which started after she did a first impression of Let's Play of the game.

'''''Little Britain: The Video Game'''''<ref>Known as '''''Little Britain: The Computer Game''''' for Microsoft Windows, while the mobile version is known as '''''Little Britain: The Mobile Game'''''.</ref> is a party game released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 2 on February 2, 2007, PlayStation Portable on September 12, 2007, and mobile sometime during 2007. It was co-developed by Gamerholix and Gamesauce, and published by [[Blast! Entertainment]]. The game is based on the British sketch comedy series, ''[[:w:Little Britain|Little Britain]]'', which was originally created by [[:w:David Walliams|David Walliams]] and [[:w:Matt Lucas|Matt Lucas]]. The game was met with very negative reviews and was considered one of the worst, if not the worst, games on the PlayStation 2 and even one of the worst games of all time.
== Gameplay ==
The game consists of seven mini-games, for example, collect all the cookies from the store, just like Pac-Man, another mini-game is about puking on everyone who comes near you, another mini-game is about skateboarding and collecting things so as not to trip and yet another mini-game is about jumping into the pool and doing various pranks and yet another mini-game is about shooting a goal without the goalkeeper catching the ball.
==Why It Hates Cake==
===Blast! version===
# An idea of a game based on ''Little Britain'' is not a good one and it doesn't look like an interesting idea at all, as there aren't that many clever game concepts that you could over the show, as it never relied on overarching stories, since the show itself was just a sketch comedy series that mostly relied on exaggerated lives of random characters who are all one-dimensional and have different stereotypes from each other, what more could you get out of a video game about that?
# One mini-game (most specifically the mini-game at Pox involving Maggie and Judy) involves you having to play a rip-off of ''Columns'' until you fill out a bar (or as the game says: Maggie's gullet), before controlling her to vomit on people to earn points. Another one (the mini-game at Llandewi Breffi involving Dafydd Thomas) has you collecting gay magazines while running over the villagers on the streets, who could be homosexuals (as evident by the voice lines of Thomas every time he runs over a villager). This led to accusations that the game was homophobic, resulting in the game being banned in Germany.
#* One of the minigames is incredibly disgusting because it literally involves puking on the people closest to you.
# It has only seven mini-games and most of them are extremely easy to beat, even on the hardest difficulty.
#* The back of the box falsely says that there are eight mini-games. Though the PSP port of the game does exclusively have that one additional eighth mini-game and it's just as bad as the rest since it mocks people with mental disabilities.
# The mini-games are also poor, with some ripping off arcade games like ''Columns'' (for the previously mentioned mini-game at Pox with Maggie and Judy) and ''[[Pac-Man]]'' (for the mini-game at Sussex involving Marjorie Dawes) and in general they are so simple and lazily made that they are almost at the level of games made on pygame and even these larger projects have more interesting gameplay than these minigames.
# The gameplay for lots of the levels is very repetitive, not even super-patient players can master it without feeling unhappy making the gameplay very boring very quickly, apparently, the developers clearly didn't want to create something interesting, they just stuck it in you.
#* Most of the gameplay involves you pressing buttons or/and combos of buttons to do wearisome tasks.
# The controls for some of the levels are absolutely frustrating and are hard to get used to. For instance, the Vicky Pollard level involves you spamming the X button to skate along and the Square button to jump over obstacles, what makes it worse is that the jump button is incredibly delayed, as it takes about one second before Vicky Pollard can actually jump when you press the button.
# Even for PS2 and PSP standards, the graphics and animations along with the character designs look absolutely terrible and almost look like a game that was made for PlayStation or Nintendo 64. It is worth recalling that this is a late game for PlayStation 2, and at that time consoles such as Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii have already been released.
# Even though the original cast from ''Little Britain'' reprise their roles for their characters, the voice acting and notable one-liners are quite annoying to listen to, such as the infamous "I. Love. Cake. GO!" in the Sussex/Marjorie Dawes mini-game.
# Most of the soundtrack in the game sound rather boring and repetitive and it can become irritating as if the authors of this whole soundtrack had no idea to create something interesting.
# The boxart is very simple and lazily made, as it shows nothing but a plain white background with Vicky Pollard, Lou, and Andy, even the logo slapped on it. This can discourage the consumer from buying and rather it looks as if the publisher did not have outstanding creativity and just stuck a few things in instead of creating something completely new and interesting.
# The menu is very embarrassing because it consists of only a few options and there is no way to set controls, gameplay or music.
===Mobile version===
# Horrible and ear-bleeding MIDI music which infuriates almost very quickly and will surely make you want to turn off the music or even the entire game.
# The digitized sound effects are low-quality, due to hardware limitations.
# It has only '''four''' mini-games (once again, due to hardware limitations) in other words, it has much less content than all the other versions.
# The skating, cycling, and diving mini-games are nothing but quick-time events which is quite lazy on the part of the developers.
== The Only Redeeming Quality ==
#As mentioned before, the PSP version has one exclusive minigame, which means this is the superior version of the game.
==Reception==
''Little Britain: The Video Game'' was universally panned by critics and has been considered to be one of the worst games if not the worst game on the PlayStation 2 and also one of the worst games of all time.
Its GameRankings score is only 16%, and at the time, it was the fourth lowest-rated game on the site, surpassed by ''[[Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing and Midnight Race Club: Supercharged!|Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing]]'', ''[[Ride to Hell: Retribution]]'' and ''[[Double Dragon II: Wander of the Dragons]]''.
''Eurogamer'''s James Lyon gave it a 1/10 rating, calling it "absolutely appalling".<ref>https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/little-britain-the-video-game-review</ref> UGO ranked it #65 in its list of the 102 worst video games of all time, and ''GamesRadar+'' named it the 29th worst game of all time,<ref>https://www.gamesradar.com/worst-games-all-time/3/</ref> and WatchMojo ranked it the #1 worst PS2 game on their Top 10 list.
==Trivia==
* In Germany, the game was refused classification due to a mini-game involving homophobia related to incentives and rewards, therefore banning the sale and promotion in the country, although the game was initially released with an unauthorized USK KJ rating, which was later pulled when the game went on the index roughly a few weeks after it was released, therefore banning the game entirely.

'''''FlatOut 3: Chaos & Destruction''''' is a racing game developed by [[Team6 Game Studios]] and published by Strategy First for Microsoft Windows. It is the fourth main installment in the ''FlatOut'' series and was the first to not be developed by series creator Bugbear Entertainment (who was busy developing ''Ridge Racer: Unbounded'' for Namco at the time). The game was bombarded with negative reviews from every possible angle and was even named the worst game of 2011 and even one of the worst games of all time.
== Gameplay ==
The game has as many as 9 modes where you can drive monster trucks, race normally, jump out of cars through windows, measure speed, race off the road, race at night or smash other opponents' cars.
== Why It FlatOut Sucks ==
# The physics in this game are completely broken. Hitting an opponent's car at full speed hardly does any damage to it yet slight taps and grinds can sometimes do 40% damage to ''your'' car when it obviously should be the full speed collision that does the most damage. All in all, you can think that the game was created somewhere in a month because of this physics because the developers did not fully refine the game.
# The cars react very strangely to collisions. You can slightly tap a wall and your car will spontaneously combust upon impact, but 120 mph smashes will go unnoticed which can make the gameplay incredibly frustrating especially because of the AI which will be mentioned below and shows that the developers obviously had to rush it to make it on time.
# Every car feels extremely similar to one another and any differences between them are superficial at best as if the developers lacked creativity to construct some interesting and different vehicles, they just created the same one and then copied and pasted it with only minor cosmetic changes.
# Controls somehow feel stiff ''and'' slippery at the same time, which can lead to you crashing into things and this is why it happens, especially if we add the above-mentioned broken physics and exaggerated bouncing of cars from other objects, and this will give an absolute nightmare during the game and you can't get any pleasure from it.
# The cars' handling are very poor as they often feel weightless but barely turn at any speed above 30 mph, requiring you to drift to negate this, which itself doesn't always have you pointing in the right direction. This can already give the impression that the game has not been tested at all, which is a worthy example of this broken control and lack of balance in it.
# Every car has terrible handling in this game. If you choose the highest stars handling for your car, it will still suffer from understeer just like the trucks in ''[[Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing]]''. This means that the handling's rating stars are a lie and it also clearly shows the laziness of the developers accompanying them while creating this game and that they didn't care at all how these cars work.
# '''Bad opponent AI''': Opponents are more focused on crashing into each other and you than racing, which makes most races a breeze if you manage to work around the controls and car handling, to put it simply, the developers did not want to test races or program the AI better so that it actually wanted to win, rather than wallowing on the route and pathetically hitting other rivals.
# Almost every mode in the game is a slightly modified version of racing or demolition (despite the only difference being car count, Derby and Big Battle are two separate modes), so you can say that in this game there is literally three only the developers changed the names to hide their laziness as much as possible.
# The tracks are bland and lifeless with no alternate routes or variation but simply these are areas made at the lowest possible cost to simply release this game faster, and sometimes even cosmetically change the route and copy it.
# The car and character designs are laughable and do not look ''anything'' like the previous ''FlatOut'' games (unsurprisingly, due to a change in developer) which is why it's hard to call it an installment of this series because of the complete lack of any reference to the previous parts of this series.
# Once you unlock the armoured tank, it is '''ridiculously easy''' to cheese a lot of races as its cannon turret can insta-kill any car in a large splash radius. Additionally, since the turret is not disabled during the countdown to the start of the race, you can kill everyone before leaving the finish line and easily win first place! At this point, the gameplay loses any sense because instead of racing, it's just getting from place to place without any challenge.
# For some reason, a lot of vehicles not made for most race modes can be used in other race modes, making them look out of place while also allowing you to unfairly win races. For example, you can use a knock-off of the Batmobile from ''[[The Dark Knight]]'' in Speed instead of F1 cars.
#* Similarly, the AI racers can also use out-of-place vehicles too but due to their dumb AI being only programmed to race in regular cars, they'll end up getting permanently stuck behind indestructible environment like lamp posts or stop short of the finishing line instead.
# The graphics are terrible for 2011 standards and are comparable to early PlayStation 2 or Xbox games (in fact, ''[[Burnout 3: Takedown]]'', '''a game from 2004''', has better damage modeling and textures than this) and after all, this is a game from the end of December 2011, so the game could look a lot better.
# The sound effects sound lackluster, especially the crashing sound effects and sometimes they don't even sound like they should, the developers just didn't even want to listen to them, they simply put the first random sound in the world.
# The soundtrack is forgettable and repetitive. It does not even have licensed songs, rips out music from your PC's music folder without your knowledge and even plays ambient sound effects at times. This caught racing YouTuber Shinyodd off-guard when [https://youtu.be/ZXv2nyMLFqw?t=180 his copy of the game suddenly plays the] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uAZdIJIl8o Arabic Nokia ringtone]. Developers probably didn't even have enough budget to license the soundtrack and instead decided to create their own although it's a good thing that they wanted to create something their own way because at least it shows that they put more effort into the game.
# The game manages to make the fun modes of past ''FlatOut'' games, Stuntman and Derby, incredibly dull and lifeless. The developers apparently didn't even play the previous installments of this series and decided to just create it their way thinking that their version will be better when it apparently isn't.
# The game was made at a '''bad''' time, where Bugbear Entertainment was busy with ''Ridge Racer Unbounded'', so Team6 Game Studios worked on this game.
# This game '''likes''' to crash a lot. You can crash while trying to skip music, you can crash while choosing a game mode, you can crash while spectating other drivers, you can even crash when trying to load anything. This game is basically one giant error. The developers didn't seem to care, and either they didn't want to fix it, or worse, they didn't even want to test how the game worked.
# Statistics are not being tracked properly. Even the erroneous values for cars destroyed and races played are being interpreted as ''floating-point values'' instead of integers! All in all, this is another proof that the creators didn't care how the game works at all and did not evaluate the gameplay, which is the most important part of the game.
# Some characters are just blatant copyright infringements, like Zin Benzin (who is just actor Vin Diesel as he appears in the ''Riddick'' franchise with his surname being German for gasoline), Zario (a mix of Mario and disgraced former porn actor Ron Jeremy), Ufer Bull (a mix of Agent 47 from the ''Hitman'' franchise and infamous film director Uwe Boll), and Thirtyfour Rupias (a poor man's 50 Cent as ₹34 = US45¢). Some of their backstories don't even make sense, like X-mas2011 (who would name their daughter like that!?) and Silen Einnor, the last one not only never appeared in previous games (technically he does according to Rerez, but only his model as the default human male), but his name is a reverse of Team6 Game Studios founder Ronnie Nelis.
# This game nearly killed the ''FlatOut'' franchise, until 2017's ''FlatOut 4: Total Insanity''.
== The Only Redeeming Quality ==
# At least the menu is decent, unlike the rest of the game.
== Reception ==
''FlatOut 3'' is currently the second worst rated game of all time on Steam, behind ''War of the Three Kingdoms'' and also the worst game of 2011 and even one of the worst games of all-time. Likewise, it also holds a Metacritic score of 23 out of 100, with only two reviews scoring the game at a score above 4 out of 10 (Gaming Nexus and [[GameSpot]]).

Tony Anselmo|Seasons=4|Episodes=100|Next show=DuckTales (2017 TV series)}}'''DuckTales''' is an American animated television series produced by Disney Television Animation. It ran from 1987 to 1990.
==Why It Makes You Feel Like A Quack-riffic Duck==
#Great and memorable characters, such as Scrooge, the Beagle Boys, and much, much more.
#Catchy and iconic theme song.
#It helped prove that high quality TV animation was worth investing in, and helped put Disney on the TV animation map after years of only being a hit in terms of movies. Gummi Bears also helped by doing the same thing.
#Excellent and exciting storylines for the episodes.
#Very pioneristic and "brave" concept of a tv series focused on characters created by Carl Barks rather than having Donald Duck as the main character, who only appears in a few episodes.
#Other extra, non-duck characters appear in the show, like The Phantom Blot and Peg-Leg Pete.
#Spot on voice acting for the characters, with the highlight of the cast arguably being Alan Young, who was capable of giving an iconic voice to Uncle Scrooge.
==Bad Qualities==
#Most of the cast is very flat, especially Webby and Gandra Dee.
#A lot of the episode plots after the first season are very simplistic and haven't really aged well.
#The animation after the first season began to slowly drop in quality compared to the first season.

}}'''''London Cab Challenge''''' is a 2006 racing video game developed by Mere Mortals and published by Phoenix Games for the PlayStation 2 only in Europe.
== Gameplay ==
Each mission involves picking up and delivering customers to their destinations as quickly as possible while staying in the proper lane and avoiding collisions with traffic.<ref>https://www.mobygames.com/game/ps2/london-cab-challenge</ref>
== Why It Failed the Cab Challenge ==
# First of all, this game is nothing more than a rip-off of ''Driver'' as the gameplay is quite similar to said game. The vehicle itself and the locations also look similar.
# The gameplay is painfully repetitive and gruesomely boring at the same time because it's just about taking passengers anywhere, like ''Crazy Taxi'' or ''Driver'', which this game rips off, and what's most interesting, it has a much more varied gameplay than rip-off itself.
# The city in the game does not look like London at all and is poorly designed and is a very small area despite the fact that the PlayStation 2 was a really powerful console and could easily generate a big and real London and with nicer graphics than this game. Games that came out earlier like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 or the London Racer series were able to resemble London action games unlike this game.
# The music is generally very bland and practically not memorable despite the fact that the one from the game is looped, the music from the menu is also not the most interesting and not too catchy as if the developers had no idea to compose a fairly interesting song that would match the game.
# The game also seems to be unfinished to the point that you might think that it has not been tested at all because it has a whole lot of bugs and imperfections. For example, a vehicle can sometimes get stuck in a building, lamppost, or tree and sit there until restarting the game; sometimes, the textures are excessively stretched and may even go beyond the model of the object to which they adhere.
# The controls for a car game are extremely terrible because the driving model is completely broken due to the turning; it turns so slowly that you can very easily run into anything, be it a tree, lamppost, or other vehicles.
# Awful physics and the cab handles poorly. When a car collides into an object, it bounces and easily flips over. Cars can even bounce into the air and do a 360-degree roll after colliding with another car. Literally as if the developers didn't even want to test this game and made it in a hurry.
# Ugly visuals and very blurry textures that makes the game look like an early PS1, 3DO or SEGA Saturn game. Even the PS2 version of ''Wreckless: The Yakuza Missions'', which is heavily inferior the Xbox version in terms of graphics, looks better than this, and that also came out four years before!
# Terrible draw distance, with cars, suddenly showing up far too close for you to react everything the cab can because of the poor controls and handling of the cab so you'll probably collide with another car or object very often and you won't have time to react early and even create a false free space so you'll think that nothing stands in the way of getting straight to your destination because you won't be able to see anything before you will collide. This is especially unforgivable for a PlayStation 2 game with terrible graphics by that console's standards because it would be extremely easy to make a galactic long view range, and even many PS1 games with nicer graphics have a larger field of view.
# The sound effects from the vehicles are downright awful because they are not at all like what they should be, engine noises are more like the sounds of a hair dryer, for example.
# Unlike most taxi games, there are no people seen in the city, considering this game requires the driver to carry their clients. In the games from the Crazy Taxi series that came out earlier than this game, you could see various people walking on the street and even in Driver released 7 years earlier you could see various people walking on the street, which rather gives the impression that the developers were really lazy and didn't want to add these people to the game.
# Collision detection is terrible because the vehicle can immediately bounce too far and even push it to the other end of the road, as a result of which it can bounce back from the next object and create one big chaos and a vicious circle.
# The play area itself is incredibly tight:
#* There are invisible walls that block you from taking paths that would otherwise be unobstructed and clear for you to take.
#* There is also an overabundance of cars in the game, and they effectively clog up almost the entire track, creating a traffic jam and you will have serious problems with reaching your destination and you will often collide with another car.
== Reception ==
Jeuxvideo.com gave a 1/20 to this game and said that this game should never see the light of day and that it's hard to put into words how awful this game is. This is the only known review from a critic.
In addition, the game received an extremely negative reception from players and is considered one of the worst car games on the PlayStation 2.

'''''The Garfield Show''''' is a French–American CGI animated television series based on the American comic strip, Garfield. In France, it ran from 2008 to 2014, and in the US, it ran from 2009 to 2016.
== Monday Qualities ==
# The understanding of the source material is somewhat lacking:
#* '''Continuity error:''' In the comics, animated specials, and "Garfield & Friends," Garfield's dialogue is presented as thoughts. In this particular show, however, Garfield speaks out loud, similar to his portrayal in the live-action films and the CGI trilogy.
#* The series incorporates an abundance of sci-fi and supernatural storylines that seem out of place in the Garfield universe, conflicting with the comics' grounded tone. Yet, even ''Garfield and Friends'', known for its sporadic extravagant plots, remained faithful to this tone.
# Many of the characters come across as uninspired, irritating, and unmemorable, making no significant contribution to the narrative. The story could be told without them, and it would remain largely unaffected.
#* Numerous characters have become severely flanderized:
#** Garfield has evolved into a character with few redeeming qualities, becoming somewhat of an unlikable slob. While Garfield has always been portrayed as a jerk, his mean-spirited nature has intensified. Additionally, he exhibits hypocrisy; despite expressing dislike for bullies in one episode, he consistently bullies Odie, Jon, and Nermal. His behavior reaches a pinnacle in "Mailman Blues," where he completely escapes any repercussions.
#*** Moreover, he has adopted a goofier, more clown-like demeanor, with his new voice exhibiting a cadence shift as voice actor Frank Welker intermittently yells, whelps, laughs, and emits sounds in a rather silly manner, often for comedic effect. This change comes after Welker's persistent efforts to mimic Lorenzo Music's portrayal of Garfield. This is coupled with segments of animation that depict Garfield with exaggeratedly goofy expressions, such as going cross-eyed randomly during close-ups in chase scenes or otherwise, which are inconsistent with his established character.
#**** While Garfield is typically portrayed as cynical and relaxed, with moments of humor and expressiveness, this iteration of Garfield retains the original's sarcastic, smug, lazy, clever, and hedonistic traits but becomes significantly more buffoonish. His goofy facial expressions and silly antics make him resemble a clownish jokester, complete with exaggerated comedic elements such as being accident-prone. This shift in personality feels out of character, especially in scenes like "Not So Sweet Sound of Music," where Garfield comically buries an accordion with a jackhammer and runs off laughing in a manner more akin to Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc. than the traditional Garfield.
#** Jon has evolved from a good-hearted, albeit dorky, loser who is a caring pet owner, to a character with a profoundly mean-spirited and bumbling demeanor.
#*** In the episode "Curse of the Were-dog," Odie transforms into a were-dog, devours lasagnas meant for ten people, and then reverts to his normal self. Jon hastily accuses Garfield, which seems somewhat justifiable given Garfield's usual behavior. However, Jon later offers an apology to Garfield after the professor's explanation airs on the news and he spots a dog bite mark on the chair.
#**** Jon has ejected Garfield and Odie from the house on two occasions. Additionally, he has frequently locked them out, sometimes without a significant reason or over minor issues.
#**** He makes the claim that "nothing on the internet is false," which is an absurd and incorrect statement.
#** Nermal has evolved from being a somewhat arrogant but endearing cat to a detestably self-absorbed character, surpassing his depiction in the direct-to-video trilogy. Although he was depicted as somewhat unpleasant in the trilogy initially, the portrayal never reached such an extreme. His most egregious behavior is showcased in "King Nermal" and "Nice to Nermal."
# The humor is overly dependent on slapstick, sporadic fart jokes, meta humor, and breaking the fourth wall that comes across as weak and monotonous. In contrast, 'Garfield and Friends' employs meta and fourth wall-breaking jokes as well, but with a more measured approach and superior execution.
# All the human characters are complete idiots, including Jon (as mentioned in BQ#1). Most of the townspeople are also stereotyped with little to no personality.
# Many of the episodes are either dull, irritating, badly written, or have illogical plots.
#* Some episodes are very mean-spirited, like "[[King Nermal (The Garfield Show)|King Nermal]]" and "[[Nice to Nermal (The Garfield Show)|Nice to Nermal]]".
#* Certain episodes are reiterations of ones from Garfield and Friends. For instance, "The Spy Who Fed Me" closely mirrors "The Pizza Patrol" from the original series. Similarly, The Garfield Shorts try to emulate the Quickies from Garfield and Friends but lack the original's appeal.
# It constantly reuses existing character models for many of the characters, which is very lazy on the animators' part.
# The CGI animation (by Ellipse Animation who also did the reboot of ''The Smurfs'') is extremely bland, cheap, and unappealing due to its lazy execution. Even the direct-to-video Garfield trilogy boasts superior animation quality.
#* Sometimes there are animation frames that are reused, to the point that it can seem lazy. For example, the episode "A game of cat and mouse" reuses the ''exact'' the same animation of Garfield walking to the kitchen and looking surprised that was used previously in "Turkey trouble".
# Speaking of reusing things, some voices like Nermal's screams or the mailman's yell can be reused in episodes that are out of place, examples of these include a kid having Nermal's scream in the episode "It's a Cheese World", and the mailman's yell can be heard in the episode "Meet Max Mouse" when a mouse yelled while the Mouse Catcher caught them.
# While the voice acting is generally decent, some voices seem like they were intentionally made to be irritating the viewer. Like the kid characters that are given shrill voices to fit their personality that Garfield would often satirize, Nermal's raspy voice (Jason Marsden) isn't as charming as his voice in ''Garfield & Friends'' was and ended up sounds like Chester from ''The Fairly OddParents''.
# Overuse of meta-jokes as mentioned above, something the original Garfield lacked.
# Some episodes have their gross-out moments, whether they seem mild or not. For example:
#* ''(While done humorously),'' Garfield uses Odie's long tongue to pretend that Nermal, with his eyes closed, kissed a female cat Garfield and Odie crossdressed in the episode "Glenda & Odessa".
#* In the episode, "Underwater World", Garfield tries something Jon ate and ''spits'' it out at Odie.
#* The episode "Freaky Monday" has Garfield making some implications of Odie having bad breath.
#* The episode "Orange and Black" has a scene where Catzilla eats stale taffy that slowly grosses him out.
#* The episode "Odie in Love" had Garfield and Odie come back from being in the dumpster just for getting Odie's grooming brush back, and Jon points out how smelly they are.
#* The episode "[[Nice to Nermal (The Garfield Show)|Nice to Nermal]]", has Garfield digging into what Odie has eaten, when Garfield found the corn beef sandwich Odie ate, Garfield '''eats it.''' Which is just pointless disgusting.
#* The episode "It's a Cheese World", is all centered around having a land full of ''actual'' cheese that genuinely stinks, to the point of having flown in the whole area.
# '''Lots of animation errors:''' An infamous example is in the episode "Land of Hold" during the scene where Garfield gets Jon to fix the TV, in which they accidentally added '''an unrendered scene''' in the English version. Luckily, this particular error was fixed in international releases.
#* Some missing details can be shown like Garfield's occasionally glitchy-looking eye pupils for example.
== Lasagna Qualities ==
# There are lots of funny moments, such as:
#* '''"Did you really think you could defeat me, wretched fool?"'''
#* The fourth wall breaks can be pretty hilarious at times, despite being overused.
#* Sometimes, the animation errors can make or unintentional comedy.
# Some characters remain endearing and consistent with their depiction in the comics and earlier animations, including Odie, Arlene, Liz, and Squeak.
#The voice acting is generally solid, with notable performances by Frank Welker as the main character, Wally Wingert as Jon, and Gregg Berger, who reprises his role as Odie from both ''Garfield & Friends'' and the CGI films.
#There are some people who might like these seasons, despite its flaws.
#The overall soundtrack throughout the series is generally well-made (if reused a lot in a consistent way or not), [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwgxgBDvNBY its theme song] is unforgettable and extremely catchy.
#It largely remains faithful to the original source material.
#The character designs appear to be very accurate to Jim Davis' comics.
#This was the series that finally won June Foray an Emmy (although the "Outstanding Voice-Over Performance" category is a fairly recent addition).
#There are a handful of good/decent episodes, such as:
#*"Pasta Wars" (which started the show on a high note.)
#*"Mother Garfield"
#*"Bone Diggers"
#*"A Game of Cat and Mouse"
#*"Turkey Trouble"
#*"Pet Matchers"
#*"Meet the Parents"
#*"Down on the Farm"
#*"Curse of the Cat People"
#*"Underwater World"
#*"Out on a Limb"
#*"The Amazing Flying Dog"
#*"T3000"
#*"[[Perfect Pizza (The Garfield Show)|Perfect Pizza]]"
#*"[[Jon's Night Out (The Garfield Show)|Jon's Night Out]]"
#*"[[Family Picture (The Garfield Show)|Family Picture]]"
#*"[[Virtualodeon (The Garfield Show)|Virtualodeon]]"
#* "[[It's a Cat's World (The Garfield Show)|It's a Cat's World]]"

#*"[[From the Oven (The Garfield Show)|From the Oven]]"
#*"[[Agent X (The Garfield Show)|Agent X]]"

#*"With Four You Get Pizza"
#*"The Bluebird of Happiness"
#*"Inside Eddie Gourmand"
#*"Fido Food Feline"
#*"Cuter Than Cute"
#*"Depths of a Salesman"

#*"Parrot Blues"
#*"The Gripping Tale"
#*"Pirate Gold"
#*"Blasteroid"
#*"Jumbo Shrimpy"

#*"Unfair Weather"
#*"High Scale"
#*"Full of Beans"
#*"Love and Lasagna"
#*"Great Pizza Race"
#*"[[Home for the Holidays (The Garfield Show)|Home for the Holidays]]"
#Starting in [[The Garfield Show (Seasons 3-5)|season 3]], the show massively improved for the following reasons, despite having a poor start:
#*Most of the one-hour specials in season 4 featured some of the iconic and famous guest stars like Rose Marie, Mark Hamill, Emilie Gassin, etc.
#*Starting from season 2, the show features some iconic and likable new characters that give so many contributions and impact to the whole show and stories like Mrs. Cauldron (voiced by June Foray), Winona Cauldron, Abigail Cauldron, Angie, Gloria, Varicella (voiced by Rose Marie), Master Control (voiced by Mark Hamill), Celest St. Clair, and the others.
#*This show features characters that comic strips include even Garfield and Friends don't have like Squeak, Arlene, Doc Boy, and the reappearances of Lyman in season 3.
#*Jon has become less of an idiot and he didn't punish Garfield and Odie very often starting from season 4.
#*Since season 3 the episode became more interesting and more exciting to watch since it's more adventurous yet combined with funnier jokes.
#*CGI animation has become more solid then before since season 3 than it was back in season 1 and season 2.
#*This is the very first Garfield-related media to reveal the disappearance of Jon's old roommate and Odie's original owner Lyman, and we finally see him again after 29 years since his final appearance in the comic series.
#*The later seasons have less supernatural and sci-fi plots, which are considered confusing.

'''''Sabrina: The Animated Series''''' is an American animated television series. It was developed for TV by Savage Steve Holland and produced by DiC Entertainment.
==Why It'll Bewitch Ya (In a Good Way)==
# This show remains faithful to both [[Sabrina, the Teenage Witch (1996 series)|the sitcom]] and [[Sabrina, the Teenage Witch (1997-2009 comic series)|the comics]], combining them together to make the best of both worlds.
# Many characters from both the comics and sitcom return here, and they are all still their usual likeable selves.
#* Sabrina herself is still a lovable main protagonist: she is fun-going, cares deeply for her friends and family and has a quick wit and sense of humor, even if she can be selfish at times.
#* Zelda and Hilda, despite being de-aged into teenagers (but are still in their 600's like usual), retain their fun nature and are hilarious comic relief characters.
#* Salem Saberhagen retains his sarcastic and jerky personality that made his depiction in the sitcom funny, and also possesses a limited range of magic unlike most incarnations.
#* Harvey Kinkle has been made more ditzy and cute than in previous depictions, and his relationship with Sabrina is very strong and sweet.
#* Enchantra, the Queen of Witches who speaks in a Cockney accent and appears in a few episodes, is an entertaining and deep character who, despite being somewhat arrogant and bossy, ultimately means well, cares about others and has an appealing design.
# The new characters created specifically for the show are good additions to the cast:
#* Uncle Quigley, the adult guardian of Spellman House and Diana's older brother, is a good straight man/voice of reason to most of his family and teaches Sabrina that magic doesn't solve everything in life.
#* Chloe Flan, Sabrina's best friend, is hilarious and cracks out many funny one-liners courtesy of her actress Cree Summer. She, alongside Uncle Quigley, is also the only non-magic person who knows Sabrina is a witch.
#* Gem Stone, despite being similar to Libby Chessler from the sitcom - who in turn was based on Amy Reinhardt from the comics (both the 1997 and 2003 series ones) - makes a good rival for Sabrina, and even has nice moments in episodes such as ''Stone Broke'' and ''Witchmas Carole's'' ending.
#* Pi McDonald, Harvey's best friend, is a fan-favorite character who, despite having limited screen time, is beloved for his intelligence and quirky dialogue.
#* The Spookie Jar, a demonic creature inside a purple jar, is intimidating and arrogant yet often means well, and is where Sabrina gets most of her spells from.
#* Tim the Witch Smeller makes for an intimidating antagonist in the episodes he appears in, especially for such a lighthearted show.
#* Many of the one-off characters, such as Scheherazade, Alvin, Norma Alphalinear, etc., are excellent ways to incorporate the episodes' morals into the plot.
# Great voice acting, including:
#* Emily Hart makes for a good younger version of Sabrina, particularly in comparison to her portrayal of Cousin Amanda in the sitcom
#* Melissa Joan Hart's portrayal of the aunties is nothing short of a laugh riot and makes the characters who they are. It's always nice to see her argue with herself as two different characters.
#* Nick Bakay's reprisal of Salem would definitely impress fans of the sitcom, and although he isn't as funny here, he is still a great character otherwise.
#* Cree Summer makes a great match for Chloe, with a spot-on performance and hilarious dialogue.
#* Bill Switzer also does an excellent job with Harvey and incorporated several elements of him into the character, such as skateboarding. His performance here is second only to his performance as Presley Carnovan in ''[[Mummies Alive!]]''
#* Chantal Strand not only does splendidly as Gem, but also Pi and Bernard.
#* Kathleen Barr (Wheezie in ''[[Dragon Tales]]'', Kevin and Marie Kanker in ''[[Ed, Edd n Eddy]]''), who voices multiple characters (including Enchantra, Scheherazade and Frau Strudel/Rainbow), matches her voices for them well.
# Good animation, with a nice color scheme that matches several Disney movies, but... (see BQ #5)
# The theme song by Irish girl group B*Witched is very catchy and fun to listen to.
# Spawned an excellent TV movie, ''[[Sabrina: Friends Forever]],'' which has a different cast than this series.
# Starting in December 1999, the comics also spanned a reboot that incorporated this show into them, which also introduces us to Llandra Da Silva (who will replace Chloe in the 2003-2009 comics/manga).
==Bad Qualities==
# The show was advertised as a spin-off of the sitcom and borrowed certain elements from it; in reality, however, the show is set in the original comics' continuity.
# It only lasted one season; this is likely due to DiC being owned by Disney at the time, and the latter company still had its "65-episode" rule for syndicated reasons.
# Its [[Sabrina's Secret Life|follow up series]] isn't as good as the original, and it's made by the infamous [[Les Studios Tex]]. That said, [[Sabrina: Secrets of a Teenage Witch|the 2013 reboot]] is considered miles worse.
# There are some bad episodes, such as ''[[Anywhere But Here (Sabrina: The Animated Series)|Anywhere But Here]]'', ''[[Has Anybody Seen My Quigley? (Sabrina: The Animated Series)|Has Anybody Seen My Quigley?]]'', ''[[Strange New World (Sabrina: The Animated Series (Sabrina: The Animated Series)|Strange New World]]'', etc.
# While the animation is good, it still suffers from many errors - as is to be expected for a DiC cartoon - and can even go off-model at times.
#* Besides that, it also suffers from several audio errors.

'''''Cartoon Kingdom''''' is a puzzle game developed by [[The Code Monkeys]] and published by [[Phoenix Games]] for the PlayStation 2. It is a collection of memory games, puzzle games and dress-up games based on films developed by [[Dingo Pictures]], and is the only Dingo Pictures-related game that doesn't feature a film.
== Gameplay ==
This is a collection of minigames that involve, for example, connecting dots, dressing characters, arranging puzzles, matching two of the same elements, etc. The collection has a little more minigames than other collections from Phoenix Games.
==Why It Sucks==
# It's not even a game, just a collection of minigames created without ideas for a more interesting game to release the product as soon as possible.
# Unlike the other Dingo Pictures-related games, ''Cartoon Kingdom'' has no feature film on it. Even with the game featuring more minigames than any of the other "games" in this series, it is still one of PlayStation 2's worst games for content, and still nothing justifies the laziness of the developers who worked on this game, and the reluctance to put more into the collection, and make them hastily.
# Barely any music or sound effects, which can mainly lead to silence, and also shows how lazy the developers are.
# The entire thing can be experienced in around 10 minutes. It cannot be "completed" as there is no hard mode. You just play until you get bored or frustrated enough to turn it off. In other words, it is one of the shortest, if not even the shortest game you can find on PlayStation 2, and also one of the easiest, if not the easiest with virtually no challenge.
# It features puzzles from several Dingo Pictures movies, all of which have different names that are not used anywhere else for unexplainable reasons. For example, "Countryside Bears" is listed as "Crazy Bears".
# The dress-up game is badly designed. Clothing items clip, and some of them barely fit, or don't fit the models at all. It's as if the developers didn't even check the character models and clothes themselves, and just randomly added it all.
# If you make a mistake in connect the dots, there is no back function, you have to start again. It's as if the developers were so lazy that they didn't even bother to add such a simple function as to reset, and just made this minigame in a hurry.
# There's a strange emphasis on the Jester character, like Code Monkeys expected them to catch on which is actually idiotic, because this character can get irritating quickly, and doesn't really matter much.
# The characters in the dress-up games aren't even the ones from the movies that they are from, such as the brown bear from "Crazy Bears" who doesn't resemble ANY of the Countryside Bear cast, which already proves that the developers were not even faithful to the source material, and did not want to understand it, they just decided to create their own characters that were not in any of the cartoons.
# There's a Simon Says minigame that's as exciting as it sounds, which is actually not exciting at all, because there is virtually no gameplay, and is just an attempt to justify the laziness of the developers who made this game.
#The branding has such poor quality, that it reaches the stage of making it look like it's a pirated game, or an illegal emulation of a PC game.
== The Only Redeeming Quality ==
# The game itself is a slight improvement over other builds from Phoenix Games:
#* They offer more minigames than any other games in this series.
#** There are new minigames, such as dress up and connect the dots.
#* There's some new animations for the frightening jester characters.
#* Unlike most games produced with Dingo, it doesn't permanently wear out the disc the first time you complete it.
#* They finally did recolor and redesign some assets.
== Reception ==
Going unnoticed by critics, the game was criticized by gamers, online reviewers and YouTubers, and was named one of the worst PlayStation 2 games, along with other Phoenix Games compilations.

'''''The Zoo Race''''' (also known as '''''The Zoo Race: Noah's Adventures 2''''' on the title screen) and '''''Noah's Adventures''''' are a religious games developed and published by Cougar Interactive in 2004 and 2007. They are mostly based on Noah's Ark. While Noah's Adventures is a adventure game, The Zoo Race is a racing game.
The Zoo Race got a cult following after several reviewers such as Caddicarus, Brutalmoose, JonTron, CallMeKevin, Markiplier and others played the game on their channels, which bolstered the game's notoriety.
== Plot ==
=== The Zoo Race ===
After the librarian makes fun of her friend, Reuben, for reading Noah's Ark, she starts to dream, and in that dream, her friends are turned into animals that are participates in the "Race Games of Celebration" after the world flooded.
== Gameplay ==
=== The Zoo Race ===
The player can choose between 8 animals, and enter a race where they use the arrow keys to move while using to mouse to turn the camera, and in the courses, there are food to eat for a speed boost and obstacles the animals have to avoid, such as exploding barrels, rockets, barriers, glass walls etc.
== Why They Intentionally Suck ==
=== The Zoo Race ===
# Appalling graphics for a PC game released in 2007, the graphics look like a they Look a generation console PlayStation 2 or [[Nintendo GameCube]] more than a game released in 2007, with most of the textures looking poorly rendered and low-res, almost Wikipedia images levels of resolution, the amount of polygons on the models are absurdly high, and the human models look very bland and look like default models from the Unity Store, and compared to Noah's Adventures, there is almost no improvement whatsoever.
#* The visuals are also appalling and are bland, with the tress and other objects looking like low-res 2D images, the environments looking like barren wastelands, and the water in the stages looking like plain water from a shovelware Steam game.
# Horrible controls that sometimes makes it hard to even run on a straight line, firstly, this game uses the arrow keys to control the character, which doesn't feel right compared to other games, which use WASD keys for movement, secondly, the left and right arrow keys turn your character, but the turning is so sensitive, you'll end up smacking yourself into the walls when trying to turn, and thirdly, you move the mouse to move the camera, standard stuff, but combined with the turning controls, you'll be constantly switching between the arrow keys and mouse, which is very disorienting.
# Poor voice acting, with most of the actors not even trying with their roles and sounding more like robots or text to speech programs more than actual humans.
# Awful MIDI music, with most of the soundtrack for this game sounding like off-key MIDI Christian rock music, and most of the instruments used for the songs feel like they have been poorly edited in a music editing program made in the late 90’s more than the late 2000s.
# Hilariously awful animations, even for a game released in 2007.
#* The animals move like electronic toys more than actual animals running, and it gets worse by the time they speed boost, which looks hilariously awful, especially with the sound effect that plays when you’re swimming in the water, also, when they get hit, all they do is spas out for a few frames, then continue on like nothing just happened.
#* The humans in the opening cutscene have worse animation than the animals, with Reuben’s and Hannah’s animation looking so stilted, they feel like they have arthritis, and there are a few times where the models clip through each other, such as when Reuben's crossing his arms, his arms do the weirdest arm crossing ever, and the background characters in the same cutscenes do nothing other than walk back and forth as if they were trying to hold in a big pee.
#* The Creature Party mode is the most noticeable when it comes to bad animations, with most of the animals dancing in a strange way and sometimes randomly turning for a few times for no discernible reason, and Noah doesn’t move or do anything in the mode, all you get do with him is click them, then he spins, and goes back to being still and not move.
# Heavy amounts of anachronism, despite this being said to take place after the flood, a lot of the obstacles like bomber planes, explosive barrels, rockets, and cannons are used in the races, but were never actually invented back in the day after the flood happened, which was a thousand years ago, also, some of the food the animals eat never actually existed in that time period, such as burgers, donuts, bananas and melons.
# Horrendous sound effects, especially the glass shattering sound, which doesn’t like a glass smashing sound effect and instead sounds more like scraping a broken piece of glass on a metal surface, the other sound effects are also poor, like the generic animal sounds and the running sound effect, which sound like stock sound effects.
#* On top of that, the sound effects aren’t properly designed either, with most of them playing just whenever they feel like playing, with most of them playing one second after the thing that happened, like being shot out of a cannon.
# The amount of glitches in this travesty is as much stars in the galaxy, with this game being so broken, that it feels like it was never play tested at all.
#* Sometimes, your character can jump it's way up to the top of the roof that closes off the out of bounds area, and your character can enter limbo if you discover this glitch.
#* There's an unintentionally funny glitch with the controls where if you hold down the right click in the mouse, you can constantly speedboost all the time, making the races much easier to win, and making the AI seem like a joke.
#* Sometimes, before starting the race, the sound effect for God saying "GO!" can come at a delayed time, such as around one to three seconds after the race has already started.
#* The animals can sometimes get snagged onto the top of the walls when going down, and sometimes get stuck on the floor when you are speed boosting, also when going down, you can look like you're being dragged down a ''Minecraft'' hill.
# It can't decide what setting it wants to be. While the game takes place after the flood in Noah’s Ark, which is a story in the Bible. There are some instances where it feels like it's mocking the Bible, such as the uses of anachronism as mentioned above, but also portraying Reuben as a childish idiot to Hannah because he likes the Bible, and Hannah just mocks Reuben just because he reads the Bible.
# For some reason, a lot of the courses have flags that say stuff like ‘God Cares’, ‘Praise’ and ‘Salmon’, with the flag designs looking so lazily put together to where it would make a MS Paint drawing made in a minute look like Mona Lisa.
# While the game does quotes from the Bible, they sometimes use quotes that have zero relevance to what goes on the game, such as when the game uses a quote from John 3:16, but what goes on is during the ending ceremony for when one of the animals win a race.
# For some reason, the game icon on the desktop is a blue circle with a yellow X on it, which is the DirectX logo, and the developers were lazy to add another icon to the game.
=== Noah's Adventures ===
# Atrocious graphics on par with ''[[Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing]]'' and are more reminiscent of a Dreamcast game. To add salt on the wound, this game was released in 2004, the same year as games such as ''[[Half-Life 2]]'', ''[[Halo 2]]'', ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater]]'', ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'' and ''[[Far Cry (2004)|Far Cry]]'', all of which have been praised for their graphics.
#* Noah's three sons are the same model, with different clothes.
#* The horse's legs don't touch the ground, so the horse just floats.
#* Speaking of which, the horse is almost as big as the elephant, and Noah is larger than both of them.
#* The cutscenes are laughably bad. The opening is the worst offender, featuring birds that stay perfectly still in mid air, trees that clip through the ground, people that float, and Noah sometimes glitches and warps from the top to the bottom of a hill and vice versa.
# Terrible MIDI soundtrack (what little is present, at least).
# The game modes make no sense, even in the context of the game. The game modes are:
#* '''Hide and Seek''': Find the animals inside the Ark.
#* '''Animal Adventure''': Find a way to lure the animals in the Ark.
#* '''Creature Quiz''': A standard quiz about animals.
# The developer tried without success to hide loading screens, since at the beginning of the game a loading screen showing a picture of Noah on the Ark appears, but the game doesn't tell you that it's loading.
# The controls are clustered around the keyboard. This turns the mere act of walking into a chore, as you need to hold down the left mouse button to move, while sprinting (which you'll use a lot, considering the game's horrible default movement speed) requires you to hold either the Up arrow, the Left Shift or the Right Shift keys.
# The game has little to no animations, and what little there are end up being very cheap to boot. It's not hard to notice that the animals are missing several frames of animation, so they just begin walking, but they then suddenly transition into the new position.
# What little educational value the game has is shot dead as early as the opening cutscene, which is a perfect show of the game's unintentional hilarity. The horrible writing, made even worse by the terrible dialogue (what little there is, at least), and the overall context make very hard for anyone to learn anything from this game.
#* The paintings you can find inside the Ark all have stereotypical Christian sentences written on them, which shows how bad the developer's understanding of Christianity and the Bible is.
#* The voice acting is Ride to Hell: Retribution levels of bad, and is just as unintentionally hilarious.
#* The requests you will receive from the animals in the Animal Adventure game make no sense: a panda asks you a cooking pot, a lion asking you a flower, and a sheep asking for a copy of the Bible.
#* In the Animal Adventure game, you can also find a football field with a ball and nets you can play with, though it serves no real purpose.
# The audio is horribly mixed. In the main menu, whenever you highlight an option, an ear-bleeding, high-pitched voice will spell it out loud. In the "Sounds" section of the menu (a simple jukebox/sound test to listen the cries of different animals), the panda cry is horribly mixed and much louder than every other sound in the game, which can catch you off guard.
# The same three horrible voices are recycled for the whole game, and it's not hard to notice that Noah shares his voice with God. Noah's friends also have the same voice as the announcers of the Creature Quiz.
== The Only Redeeming Quality ==
#Both of those games can be considered as so bad it's good.
== Trivia ==
* The Zoo Race started to get an ironic fanbase after popular YouTubers played the game back in the mid 2010s, mostly due to the absurdity of the game.

'''''Sonic the Hedgehog 3''''' is a 2024 action-adventure comedy film based on the video game series published by Sega. It was directed by Jeff Fowler and written by Pat Casey, Josh Miller, and John Whittington, based on a story by Casey and Miller. Jim Carrey, Ben Schwartz, Colleen O'Shaughnessey, Natasha Rothwell, Lee Majdoub, Tom Butler, Adam Pally, Shemar Moore, James Marsden, Tika Sumpter, and Idris Elba reprise their roles, with Krysten Ritter and Keanu Reeves joining the cast. In the film, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles ally with Dr. Ivo Robotnik to defeat a new enemy, Shadow the Hedgehog. A fourth film named ''Sonic the Hedgehog 4'' is in development and is set to be released in Spring of 2027.
==Plot==
In 1974, a meteorite was discovered containing an unknown being. Fifty years later, the being, known as Shadow, escapes from his containment facility. Team Sonic is called in to stop him, but they soon realize they must forge an unlikely alliance with Dr. Robotnik and Agent Stone if they ever want to stop Shadow from destroying Earth.
==Why It's Running It==
#Like the previous two films, it stays faithful to its franchise in many ways and manage to be even more faithful than ''Sonic 2''.
#*Ivo Robotnik finally gets to wear his more iconic costume.
#*Shadow is properly introduced, and he also maintains his backstory.
#**Adding onto Shadow, he gets to be Super Shadow.
#*The Chao makes an appearance in a restaurant.
#*Dr. Gerald Robotnik, who was dead in the source material of Sonic Adventure 2, makes an appearance once again by Jim Carrey.
#*The film's logo takes inspiration from Sonic Adventure 2.
#*Shadow drives a motorcycle and wields a gun like in ''Shadow in the Hedgehog''.
#*"Live and Learn" from Sonic Adventure 2 debits here.
#Incredible visual effects that is a big improvement over the previous films (who already had great visuals effects), and manage to be even more colorful and detailled.
#*Like the previous two films, the opening logo once again has its Paramount stars replaced with rings from the Sonic franchise.
#*The CGI for the three Sonic characters remains top-notch as usual.
#*Shadow looks as epic as ever, and his design translate very well to the CGI style of design.
#*The end credits use an old-style 3D animation that looks perfect for a Sonic game transitioning to a 3D perspective.
#Excellent soundtrack, especially Live and Learn from ''Sonic Adventure 2'' who make it's debut in a ''Sonic'' cinematographic product, which fit this movie considering that Shadow appear and that this movie take inspiration from ''[[Sonic Adventure 2]]''.
#The returning characters are still just as likable and lovable as they are in the past films, and the new characters are interesting:
#*Sonic is the leader of Team Sonic, a team that Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles formed. You can tell that Sonic has gotten more mature this time, complete with him wanting to kill Shadow.
#*Tails is the intelligent kid of Team Sonic, and as usual, he has his gadgets.
#*Knuckles is still a likable and funny character, and thankfully, was not flanderized into a dumb muscle like he was in the games.
#*Shadow is an excellent character, combined with his dark and troubled backstory of connecting with Maria and being locked away for fifty years.
#*Maria Robotnik is a sweet child, all the made more horrifying and tragic because of her death.
#*Surprisingly, Ivo Robotnik and Agent Stone gets great character development as well. While Sonic fans and some moviegoers unfamiliar with Sonic may expect the two to betray the Sonic characters like in the last two films, here Robotnik and Stone genuinely has a change of heart and redeems themselves by preventing the Eclipse Cannon from destroying Earth.
#Excellent acting, with Keanu Reeves being the perfect choice for Shadow.
#Incredible action scenes such as Shadow's escape, the fight with Shadow in the beginning, and the fight between Super Sonic and Super Shadow.
#The tone is much darker than the previous two films, with themes such as loss, pain, vengeance, and suffering. All perfect for a character like Shadow.
#Even with its dark tone, the humor is still great like a group of children referring to Tails as Detective Pikachu, Tom making a creepy puppet of himself, and Ivo Robotnik and Gerald Robotnik dancing in the lasers.
#*The scenes where Ivo Robotnik and Gerald fight each other, while they interrupt the fight with Sonic and Shadow, are actually quite hilarous.
#Ivo Robotnik's sacrifice is surprisingly heart-shattering, especially considering the amount of trouble he has pulled off in the previous films. He even treats Agent Stone like a genuine friend rather than a pawn for his own gain.
#Like the previous two movies, the direction by Jeff Fowler is great.
#The soundtrack is still great, like the first and second, is also amazing as it was composed by Tom Holkenborg (known as Junkie XL who also composed the first film's score and the second film's score), and there's also more music from the games this time. "Run It" by Jelly Roll is a great choice for the end credits, even though a lot of people said a country song was unfitting for a dark and gritty movie.
#Ivo Robotnik makes an awesome reference to the flop of the 2011 ''Green Lantern'', where he said that he loved to hate that movie, which was likely done to mock that film especially that it was poorly received.
#The Live and Learn song actually appears in the movie during the scene where Sonic and Shadow become super versions of themselves while trying to stop Gerald. It also played during the introducting at one point albiet in a soft guitar version. This is used as some sort of recurring theme for Shadow in the movie.
#Sonic's meltdown is shocking for a family film after he witness Tom getting brutally beaten by Shadow. From attempting to use the Master Emerald despite Knuckles' warning (even the heated argument between Sonic and Knuckles was shocking enough) to Sonic even attempting to kill Shadow, this is where the movie goes into the point of no return. Eventually however, Sonic calms down and realizes his faults.
#Like the first and second movies, there is not one, but '''two''' post-credits scene for the fourth movie. The first mid-credits scene involves Sonic unintentionally running to New York City and he looks around for Tails and Knuckles but doesn't see the two, and he sees a billboard that says "WELCOME TO NEW YORK.", and Sonic sees a metallic robot version of him, of which he comments that he got his costume wrong, and Metal Sonic proceeds to aim on Sonic, and it generates a huge blast in the forest of New York City, which Sonic manages to survive. Metal Sonic then copies himself into multiple copies of Metal Sonic, and Sonic then looks around at the Metal Sonics, and as he thinks he's doomed, a mysterious pink light comes out of nowhere and defeats the Metal Sonic copies, and the mysterious creature appears on the Moon, it comes to the ground and takes down its cloth, and it's none other than '''Amy Rose'''. In the second post-credits scene, Shadow is revealed to have survived the Eclipse Cannon's destruction, possibly teasing his return for ''Sonic the Hedgehog 4''.
#Overall, this film ultimately proved that video game movies are becoming great, even after the disaster that was ''[[Borderlands (film)|Borderlands]]''.
==Unlived and Unlearned Qualities==
#This film pretty much requires you to watch the [[Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)|previous]] [[Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022)|films]] and ''[[Knuckles (miniseries)|Knuckles]]'' to understand what is going on.
#* It also somewhat requires playing both ''[[Sonic Adventure 2]]'' and ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog (video game)|Shadow the Hedgehog]]'' to understand what is going on because this film heavily takes inspiration from them in some scenes.
#In a bit of a poor grasp of the source material:
#*'''''MARIA DOES NOT GET SHOT.''''' Yes, a GUN soldier shoots at her, but the shot misses and Maria dies in an explosion instead. This is probably done because a little girl getting shot was too inappropriate and violence for a family-friendly franchise like Sonic.
#*Shadow arrives to Earth on a meteorite, when in the games he was a creation from Gerald Robotnik.
#*Despite the film taking elements from ''Sonic Adventure 2'', the Biolizard doesn't appear and the Soap Shoes are absent.
#The pacing is a little too fast.
#The scene where Sonic lashes out at Knuckles and Tails was a bit mean-spirited, although it is somewhat justified as Shadow made him mad and injured Tom; the outrigh problem is that it doesn't excuse him '''stealing the Master Emerald from Wade Whipple and ditching his friends to battle Shadow, which is out-of-character for him.'''
#Like the first two movies, a few of the humor can be somewhat forced and over-the-top, such as the one infamous part where Super Sonic and Super Shadow are fighting and it's abruptly cut off by Ivo and Gerald fighting, which could ruin the emotional moments.
#For some reason, the film seems to have forgot that Sonic called Tom his "Dad" in ''Sonic the Hedgehog 2'', as Sonic ''does not once call Tom his Dad at all in the film'', which is unfortunate, especially since it would have been nice for Sonic to call Tom Dad more in the film.
#*It doesn't help that Tails and Knuckles don't bond that much at all in this film, since most of their screen time is sharing it with Sonic.
#Shadow never gets a resolution with Gerald, especially since Gerald manipulated his pain and used him and he doesn't even ask Eggman what happened to Gerald when he came back.
#The infamous scene where Tom has issues switching between different disguises during the heist.

'''''Sonic the Hedgehog 3''''' is a 2024 action-adventure comedy film based on the video game series published by Sega. It was directed by Jeff Fowler and written by Pat Casey, Josh Miller, and John Whittington, based on a story by Casey and Miller. Jim Carrey, Ben Schwartz, Colleen O'Shaughnessey, Natasha Rothwell, Lee Majdoub, Tom Butler, Adam Pally, Shemar Moore, James Marsden, Tika Sumpter, and Idris Elba reprise their roles, with Krysten Ritter and Keanu Reeves joining the cast. In the film, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles ally with Dr. Ivo Robotnik to defeat a new enemy, Shadow the Hedgehog. A fourth film named ''Sonic the Hedgehog 4'' is in development and is set to be released in Spring of 2027.
==Plot==
In 1974, a meteorite was discovered containing an unknown being. Fifty years later, the being, known as Shadow, escapes from his containment facility. Team Sonic is called in to stop him, but they soon realize they must forge an unlikely alliance with Dr. Robotnik and Agent Stone if they ever want to stop Shadow from destroying Earth.
==Why It's Running It==
#Like the previous two films, it stays faithful to its franchise in many ways and manage to be even more faithful than ''Sonic 2''.
#*Ivo Robotnik finally gets to wear his more iconic costume.
#*Shadow is properly introduced, and he also maintains his backstory.
#**Adding onto Shadow, he gets to be Super Shadow.
#*The Chao makes an appearance in a restaurant.
#*Dr. Gerald Robotnik, who was dead in the source material of Sonic Adventure 2, makes an appearance once again by Jim Carrey.
#*The film's logo takes inspiration from Sonic Adventure 2.
#*Shadow drives a motorcycle and wields a gun like in ''Shadow in the Hedgehog''.
#*"Live and Learn" from Sonic Adventure 2 debits here.
#Incredible visual effects that is a big improvement over the previous films (who already had great visuals effects), and manage to be even more colorful and detailled.
#*Like the previous two films, the opening logo once again has its Paramount stars replaced with rings from the Sonic franchise.
#*The CGI for the three Sonic characters remains top-notch as usual.
#*Shadow looks as epic as ever, and his design translate very well to the CGI style of design.
#*The end credits use an old-style 3D animation that looks perfect for a Sonic game transitioning to a 3D perspective.
#Excellent soundtrack, especially Live and Learn from ''Sonic Adventure 2'' who make it's debut in a ''Sonic'' cinematographic product, which fit this movie considering that Shadow appear and that this movie take inspiration from ''[[Sonic Adventure 2]]''.
#The returning characters are still just as likable and lovable as they are in the past films, and the new characters are interesting:
#*Sonic is the leader of Team Sonic, a team that Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles formed. You can tell that Sonic has gotten more mature this time, complete with him wanting to kill Shadow.
#*Tails is the intelligent kid of Team Sonic, and as usual, he has his gadgets.
#*Knuckles is still a likable and funny character, and thankfully, was not flanderized into a dumb muscle like he was in the games.
#*Shadow is an excellent character, combined with his dark and troubled backstory of connecting with Maria and being locked away for fifty years.
#*Maria Robotnik is a sweet child, all the made more horrifying and tragic because of her death.
#*Surprisingly, Ivo Robotnik and Agent Stone gets great character development as well. While Sonic fans and some moviegoers unfamiliar with Sonic may expect the two to betray the Sonic characters like in the last two films, here Robotnik and Stone genuinely has a change of heart and redeems themselves by preventing the Eclipse Cannon from destroying Earth.
#Excellent acting, with Keanu Reeves being the perfect choice for Shadow.
#Incredible action scenes such as Shadow's escape, the fight with Shadow in the beginning, and the fight between Super Sonic and Super Shadow.
#The tone is much darker than the previous two films, with themes such as loss, pain, vengeance, and suffering. All perfect for a character like Shadow.
#Even with its dark tone, the humor is still great like a group of children referring to Tails as Detective Pikachu, Tom making a creepy puppet of himself, and Ivo Robotnik and Gerald Robotnik dancing in the lasers.
#*The scenes where Ivo Robotnik and Gerald fight each other, while they interrupt the fight with Sonic and Shadow, are actually quite hilarous.
#Ivo Robotnik's sacrifice is surprisingly heart-shattering, especially considering the amount of trouble he has pulled off in the previous films. He even treats Agent Stone like a genuine friend rather than a pawn for his own gain.
#Like the previous two movies, the direction by Jeff Fowler is great.
#The soundtrack is still great, like the first and second, is also amazing as it was composed by Tom Holkenborg (known as Junkie XL who also composed the first film's score and the second film's score), and there's also more music from the games this time. "Run It" by Jelly Roll is a great choice for the end credits, even though a lot of people said a country song was unfitting for a dark and gritty movie.
#Ivo Robotnik makes an awesome reference to the flop of the 2011 ''Green Lantern'', where he said that he loved to hate that movie, which was likely done to mock that film especially that it was poorly received.
#The Live and Learn song actually appears in the movie during the scene where Sonic and Shadow become super versions of themselves while trying to stop Gerald. It also played during the introducting at one point albiet in a soft guitar version. This is used as some sort of recurring theme for Shadow in the movie.
#Sonic's meltdown is shocking for a family film after he witness Tom getting brutally beaten by Shadow. From attempting to use the Master Emerald despite Knuckles' warning (even the heated argument between Sonic and Knuckles was shocking enough) to Sonic even attempting to kill Shadow, this is where the movie goes into the point of no return. Eventually however, Sonic calms down and realizes his faults.
#Like the first and second movies, there is not one, but '''two''' post-credits scene for the fourth movie. The first mid-credits scene involves Sonic unintentionally running to New York City and he looks around for Tails and Knuckles but doesn't see the two, and he sees a billboard that says "WELCOME TO NEW YORK.", and Sonic sees a metallic robot version of him, of which he comments that he got his costume wrong, and Metal Sonic proceeds to aim on Sonic, and it generates a huge blast in the forest of New York City, which Sonic manages to survive. Metal Sonic then copies himself into multiple copies of Metal Sonic, and Sonic then looks around at the Metal Sonics, and as he thinks he's doomed, a mysterious pink light comes out of nowhere and defeats the Metal Sonic copies, and the mysterious creature appears on the Moon, it comes to the ground and takes down its cloth, and it's none other than '''Amy Rose'''. In the second post-credits scene, Shadow is revealed to have survived the Eclipse Cannon's destruction, possibly teasing his return for ''Sonic the Hedgehog 4''.
#Overall, this film ultimately proved that video game movies are becoming great, even after the disaster that was ''[[Borderlands (film)|Borderlands]]''.

'''''Sonic the Hedgehog 3''''' is a 2024 action-adventure comedy film based on the video game series published by Sega. It was directed by Jeff Fowler and written by Pat Casey, Josh Miller, and John Whittington, based on a story by Casey and Miller. Jim Carrey, Ben Schwartz, Colleen O'Shaughnessey, Natasha Rothwell, Lee Majdoub, Tom Butler, Adam Pally, Shemar Moore, James Marsden, Tika Sumpter, and Idris Elba reprise their roles, with Krysten Ritter and Keanu Reeves joining the cast. In the film, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles ally with Dr. Ivo Robotnik to defeat a new enemy, Shadow the Hedgehog. A fourth film named ''Sonic the Hedgehog 4'' is in development and is set to be released in Spring of 2027.
==Plot==
In 1974, a meteorite was discovered containing an unknown being. Fifty years later, the being, known as Shadow, escapes from his containment facility. Team Sonic is called in to stop him, but they soon realize they must forge an unlikely alliance with Dr. Robotnik and Agent Stone if they ever want to stop Shadow from destroying Earth.
==Why It's Running It==
#Like the previous two films, it stays faithful to its franchise in many ways and manage to be even more faithful than ''Sonic 2''.
#*Ivo Robotnik finally gets to wear his more iconic costume.
#*Shadow is properly introduced, and he also maintains his backstory.
#**Adding onto Shadow, he gets to be Super Shadow.
#*The Chao makes an appearance in a restaurant.
#*Dr. Gerald Robotnik, who was dead in the source material of Sonic Adventure 2, makes an appearance once again by Jim Carrey.
#*The film's logo takes inspiration from Sonic Adventure 2.
#*Shadow drives a motorcycle and wields a gun like in ''Shadow in the Hedgehog''.
#*"Live and Learn" from Sonic Adventure 2 debits here.
#Incredible visual effects that is a big improvement over the previous films (who already had great visuals effects), and manage to be even more colorful and detailled.
#*Like the previous two films, the opening logo once again has its Paramount stars replaced with rings from the Sonic franchise.
#*The CGI for the three Sonic characters remains top-notch as usual.
#*Shadow looks as epic as ever, and his design translate very well to the CGI style of design.
#*The end credits use an old-style 3D animation that looks perfect for a Sonic game transitioning to a 3D perspective.
#Excellent soundtrack, especially Live and Learn from ''Sonic Adventure 2'' who make it's debut in a ''Sonic'' cinematographic product, which fit this movie considering that Shadow appear and that this movie take inspiration from ''[[Sonic Adventure 2]]''.
#The returning characters are still just as likable and lovable as they are in the past films, and the new characters are interesting:
#*Sonic is the leader of Team Sonic, a team that Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles formed. You can tell that Sonic has gotten more mature this time, complete with him wanting to kill Shadow.
#*Tails is the intelligent kid of Team Sonic, and as usual, he has his gadgets.
#*Knuckles is still a likable and funny character, and thankfully, was not flanderized into a dumb muscle like he was in the games.
#*Shadow is an excellent character, combined with his dark and troubled backstory of connecting with Maria and being locked away for fifty years.
#*Maria Robotnik is a sweet child, all the made more horrifying and tragic because of her death.
#*Surprisingly, Ivo Robotnik and Agent Stone gets great character development as well. While Sonic fans and some moviegoers unfamiliar with Sonic may expect the two to betray the Sonic characters like in the last two films, here Robotnik and Stone genuinely has a change of heart and redeems themselves by preventing the Eclipse Cannon from destroying Earth.
#Excellent acting, with Keanu Reeves being the perfect choice for Shadow.
#Incredible action scenes such as Shadow's escape, the fight with Shadow in the beginning, and the fight between Super Sonic and Super Shadow.
#The tone is much darker than the previous two films, with themes such as loss, pain, vengeance, and suffering. All perfect for a character like Shadow.
#Even with its dark tone, the humor is still great like a group of children referring to Tails as Detective Pikachu, Tom making a creepy puppet of himself, and Ivo Robotnik and Gerald Robotnik dancing in the lasers.
#*The scenes where Ivo Robotnik and Gerald fight each other, while they interrupt the fight with Sonic and Shadow, are actually quite hilarous.
#Ivo Robotnik's sacrifice is surprisingly heart-shattering, especially considering the amount of trouble he has pulled off in the previous films. He even treats Agent Stone like a genuine friend rather than a pawn for his own gain.
#Like the previous two movies, the direction by Jeff Fowler is great.
#The soundtrack is still great, like the first and second, is also amazing as it was composed by Tom Holkenborg (known as Junkie XL who also composed the first film's score and the second film's score), and there's also more music from the games this time. "Run It" by Jelly Roll is a great choice for the end credits, even though a lot of people said a country song was unfitting for a dark and gritty movie.
#Ivo Robotnik makes an awesome reference to the flop of the 2011 ''Green Lantern'', where he said that he loved to hate that movie, which was likely done to mock that film especially that it was poorly received.
#The Live and Learn song actually appears in the movie during the scene where Sonic and Shadow become super versions of themselves while trying to stop Gerald. It also played during the introducting at one point albiet in a soft guitar version. This is used as some sort of recurring theme for Shadow in the movie.
#Sonic's meltdown is shocking for a family film after he witness Tom getting brutally beaten by Shadow. From attempting to use the Master Emerald despite Knuckles' warning (even the heated argument between Sonic and Knuckles was shocking enough) to Sonic even attempting to kill Shadow, this is where the movie goes into the point of no return. Eventually however, Sonic calms down and realizes his faults.
#Like the first and second movies, there is not one, but '''two''' post-credits scene for the fourth movie. The first mid-credits scene involves Sonic unintentionally running to New York City and he looks around for Tails and Knuckles but doesn't see the two, and he sees a billboard that says "WELCOME TO NEW YORK.", and Sonic sees a metallic robot version of him, of which he comments that he got his costume wrong, and Metal Sonic proceeds to aim on Sonic, and it generates a huge blast in the forest of New York City, which Sonic manages to survive. Metal Sonic then copies himself into multiple copies of Metal Sonic, and Sonic then looks around at the Metal Sonics, and as he thinks he's doomed, a mysterious pink light comes out of nowhere and defeats the Metal Sonic copies, and the mysterious creature appears on the Moon, it comes to the ground and takes down its cloth, and it's none other than '''Amy Rose'''. In the second post-credits scene, Shadow is revealed to have survived the Eclipse Cannon's destruction, possibly teasing his return for ''Sonic the Hedgehog 4''.
#Overall, this film ultimately proved that video game movies are becoming great, even after the disaster that was ''[[Borderlands (film)|Borderlands]]''.
==Unlived and Unlearned Qualities==
#This film pretty much requires you to watch the [[Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)|previous]] [[Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022)|films]] and ''[[Knuckles (miniseries)|Knuckles]]'' to understand what is going on.
#* It also somewhat requires playing both ''[[Sonic Adventure 2]]'' and ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog (video game)|Shadow the Hedgehog]]'' to understand what is going on because this film heavily takes inspiration from them in some scenes.
#In a bit of a poor grasp of the source material:
#*'''''MARIA DOES NOT GET SHOT.''''' Yes, a GUN soldier shoots at her, but the shot misses and Maria dies in an explosion instead. This is probably done because a little girl getting shot was too inappropriate and violence for a family-friendly franchise like Sonic.
#*Shadow arrives to Earth on a meteorite, when in the games he was a creation from Gerald Robotnik.
#*Despite the film taking elements from ''Sonic Adventure 2'', the Biolizard doesn't appear and the Soap Shoes are absent.
#The pacing is a little too fast.
#The scene where Sonic lashes out at Knuckles and Tails was a bit mean-spirited, although it is somewhat justified as Shadow made him mad and injured Tom; the outrigh problem is that it doesn't excuse him '''stealing the Master Emerald from Wade Whipple and ditching his friends to battle Shadow, which is out-of-character for him.'''
#Like the first two movies, a few of the humor can be somewhat forced and over-the-top, such as the one infamous part where Super Sonic and Super Shadow are fighting and it's abruptly cut off by Ivo and Gerald fighting, which could ruin the emotional moments.
#For some reason, the film seems to have forgot that Sonic called Tom his "dad" in ''Sonic the Hedgehog 2'', as Sonic ''does not once call Tom his dad at all in the film'', which is unfortunate, especially since it would have been nice for Sonic to call Tom dad more in the film.
#*It doesn't help that Tails and Knuckles don't bond that much at all in this film, since most of their screen time is sharing it with Sonic.
#Shadow never gets a resolution with Gerald, especially since Gerald manipulated his pain and used him and he doesn't even ask Eggman what happened to Gerald when he came back.
#The infamous scene where Tom has issues switching between different disguises during the heist.

==Trivia==
*This movie was released on the same day as [[Disney (Classic)|Disn]][[Disney (Modern)|ey]]'s ''[[Mufasa: The Lion King]]'', and a lot of people said that they would go see ''Sonic the Hedgehog 3'' instead of ''Mufasa: The Lion King'', especially since they thought a sequel/prequel to an [[The Lion King (2019 film)|already bad film]] was unnecessary.
**However, ''Mufasa: The Lion King'' grossed more money when Disney forced audiences to see it instead of ''Sonic 3'', despite the latter being more profitable for theaters.
*Originally, this film was intended to be adding Amy and Rouge during in production process, but it was scrapped, probably due to runtime and budget constraints.

==Trivia==
*This movie was released on the same day as [[Disney (Classic)|Disn]][[Disney (Modern)|ey]]'s ''[[Mufasa: The Lion King]]'', and a lot of people said that they would go see ''Sonic the Hedgehog 3'' instead of ''Mufasa: The Lion King'', especially since they thought a sequel/prequel to an [[The Lion King (2019 film)|already bad film]] was unnecessary.
**However, ''Mufasa: The Lion King'' grossed more money when Disney forced audiences to see it instead of ''Sonic 3'', despite the latter being more profitable for theaters.
*Originally, this film was intended to be adding Amy and Rouge during in production process, but it was scrapped, probably due to runtime and budget constraints.

|Sequel = ''Wolfschanze II''}}'''''Wolfschanze 1944: The Final Attempt'''''<ref>In Poland known as '''''Wilczy Szaniec'''''.</ref> (simply known as '''''Wolfschanze''''') is a 2006 WWII-themed first-person shooter video game developed by Calaris Studios and published by Akella. The remaster was released in 2015 as freeware.
''Wolfschanze'' is based on the life of Claus Schenk von Stauffenberg, who conspired against Adolf Hitler, attempted to assassinate him and tried to organize the military coup against the Nazi leaders.
The game was considered one of the worst Polish games of all time, one of the worst FPS games of all time and even one of the worst games of all time.
However, despite the negative reception, the game received a remaster in 2015, which was also negatively received.
== Plot ==
Player takes on the role of Claus and the game starts with the assassination, which fails, and the 20 missions are spent exploring an alternate history in 1994 in occupied Poland and Germany, where von Stauffenberg fights against Nazi soldiers while attempting to murder Hitler a second time. As in the real events, he will be helped during the game by people who conspired along.
== Gameplay ==
The gameplay is about reaching the very end of the level, the opponents are other soldiers that the player has to shoot at and who respawn, he has a whole lot of weapons at his disposal and can also use his own limbs and also has a sausage that he can feed the dog for example. The final opponent is Adolf Hitler himself.
== Why The Final Attempt Failed ==
# Awful graphics. The game looks more like a product that was released in 1997 game for PS1/N64 than 9 years later. Ugly textures, the characters look as if they were made of clay. And the special effects are gifs pasted, and the flowing blood is a few drops that does not fly from any part of the body, but from the air after defeating or blowing up the enemy.
#* The characters are poorly designed. The main example is one of the characters you meet at the beginning of the game, which looks like he has no neck.
# Awful animations. In general, animations do not run smoothly in 60FPS, they are made of few frames and are stiff and they look like they came from a PS1 or N64 game.
# Like in ''[[Monkey's Adventures]]'', the lip-syncing is too fast and in the last sentences in which they speak, they close their mouths as if the developers synchronized them in a hurry, not caring if the character's mouth is moving all the time while speaking.
# It takes a long time to load the game due to outdated engine. The loading screen takes between 15 and 30 seconds, even on the most powerful computers and clearly shows the developers' incompetence in optimizing even such simple graphics and level design, or unwillingness to do so.
# God-awful Polish video acting. In the game, you will only hear '''one''' voice actor. The actor's voice does not match any of the characters and the voice-over who can be heard in the intro. Worst of all, as in Longsoft Multimedia's ''[[Pinocchio (2006)|Pinocchio]]'', '''the female character''' was also played by '''a male voice actor if the developers had such a small budget, they couldn't even afford to hire more than one actor'''.
#* English voice acting may be better than Polish, because although the female character is played by a female voice actor, but it has a weird death sounds and the dubbing itself is so-so.
# There is useless zoom in the game. Even if it has a K43 sniper rifle, it only approximates the position you are in, instead of switching to the scope mode, in other words, the developers did not even know the activity of weapons at least from those times, and yet they decided to create an FPS set in those times.
# A few useless weapons.
#* The grenade that has completely broken physics. When you throw the grenate to opponent next to the barrels, he will be blown up and his arms or legs will remain. And if you throw a grenade at him, which is not next to the barrels, only fire appears and the enemy burns.
#* A sausage (Yes, this "weapon" really exists in the game), a weapon that was to be used for the dog we meet, but the dog rarely reacts to it.
# Terrible artificial intelligence.
#* The opponents are either standing and doing nothing, or they are so accurate that they can't miss you. And if you crouch, they can't shoot at you (although this is not always the case).
#* Dog's intelligence also is bad. A dog hardly reacts to your sausage throw or charges at you, despite throwing this "weapon".
# The intro offered by the game is not a cut-scene or inscription, but a clip from the chronicles of the Second World War, which has nothing to do with what is happening in the game it clearly shows that the developers did not even review the plot they wrote themselves and did not want to fit absolutely nothing into it.
# Video clips: intro (showing chronicles from the Second World War), animated developer's logo (the logo does not appear in the remaster, only jiggle) or outro (which is a cut-scene, surprisingly), are presented in extremely low resolution (for those who have poor eyesight, for them will be a high difficulty) literally, the developers did not even want to set a decent resolution, they just chose the first better resolution, probably to release this game as soon as possible .
# At the end of the game, you beat Adolf Hitler and you need to shoot something in a balloon plane, this plane will be burn. It is very confusing as it is not known whether he was set on fire, including the plane, or escaped from the plane which is quite a weak and lazy ending because the player is not, for example, declared a hero or find peace or anything just a falling plane..
# Horrible looking main menu. After the intro, for a moment there is a wasteland with trees and dilapidated buildings (of which only walls remain) with an accompanying train (which we cannot see), which carries a tank and a few companions (which one smokes a cigarette and the other stands with a sniper rifle). After looking at this intricate design, a menu appears that looks like from a Unity game in the Alpha version. The options are weirdly ordered. The "Controls", "Video Modes" and "Sound Menus" are as separate options, instead of putting them in "Options".
# The sound effects are of course copied from their engine. Sounds of destroying objects (for example a box), walking or shooting that could be heard in ''[[Mortyr 2093-1944|Mortyr]]'' and this can already be considered a copyright infringement if they were copied without the permission of the original authors and incredibly huge laziness that is hard to imagine.
# The control is imprecise. When Claus moves diagonally, the slo-motion mode is activated. Seriously, how did the programmer have to be unintelligent enough to come up with such an idea? Apart from this strange patent, a protagonist moves slowly in other words, the developers didn't even manage to do the FPS controls well, which is the simplest thing that can be done in a game of this genre.
# Claus' kick is so '''mighty''' that it kills the enemy at the first kick, and can even blow up a tank after a few such kicks which is ridiculous and unreal because it's impossible to blow up a tank or kill someone with one kick.
# To lengthen this game, the developers decided to add a absolutely terriblr feature that is a respawn of opponents. What's the worst thing, they can '''respawn at tree''' (mainly behind you) and it does nothing but artificially pump up the difficulty level.
# Illogical elements and plot holes:
#* The main protagonist, Claus von Stauffenberg, was a war invalid (he lost left eye and right hand) and in this game he carry most two-handed weapons.
#* Somehow during the game, you meet a small river, there are a few small fishes (but where they come from?).
#* A talking dog.
# In single-player games, the screen is usually frozen when you pause the game, but like in ''[[MindJack]]'', the game still runs, which can be a hindrance or the opponent may accidentally meet us, eventually killing us why is there no pause in this game and if you think i can't even leave the game when opponents are around and because of this respawn even when they are not.
# The text wall looks hideous. It looks like it was made in Microsoft Paint using the rectangle tool and this shows that they didn't even have more complex programs to create something really interesting and they used the simplest possible program to operate.
# The gameplay itself is frustrating, even on easy mode and it can be considered as such that the developers did not even test this game, they just made it in a hurry, even without going through it, which makes the game literally almost impossible to pass.
# Sometimes there are grammar and punctuation errors in both languages which is ridiculous because you can see that the developers didn't even bother to check the coherence of words in sentences.
# The remaster is still as bad as the original, because the bugs and other anomalies have not been fixed, but the graphics have been improved (which still doesn't look good).
== Redeeming Qualities ==
# Fine soundtrack, which gives the atmosphere of WWII.
# There are a lot of weapons, such as the Walther P38, MP-40 "Schmeisser", Mauser 98 rifle, MG-42 Machinegun, K43 sniper rifle, Panzerfaust 30, Stielhandgranate 24 and the Flammenwerfer 41-P.

=== Critical reception ===
The game received overwhelmingly negative reviews and it was often considered one of the worst games ever developed in Poland, both in Polish and foreign press but not only that, the game is also considered to be one of the worst FPS games off all-time if not one of the worst games of all-time.
The Polish magazine ''CD-Action'' gave it 1/10, saying: "Unfortunately for me, the Wolfschanze turned out to be a surprisingly long game (by the standards of Kaszanka), which made the torture work a good few hours before I managed to get to the embarrassing finale in spasms and convulsions. I will probably start demanding subsidies for work in harmful conditions. But what, such a profession. I was tired. Fortunately, you don't have to, so take my advice and stay away from this devil as much as possible."<ref name="MobyGames"/>
The Russian website ''Absolute Games'' gave 10%, summarising: "Water is very unusual - an almost flat jelly surface that glistens plainly in the rays of a pseudo-sun. Nondescript sprite effects convey warm greetings from the distant 90s (in Duke Nukem 3D, the fire was a little worse). Havok was still lying next to the 1944 Wolfschanze physics, but only out of laughter at the sight of manipulations with the ubiquitous boxes a la Gordon Freeman and kicking of rare items. Chic set, right? Tasteless, dreary, ugly misunderstanding."<ref name="AGru"/>

'''''Airport Simulator 2014''''' is a simulation game developed and published by UIG Entertainment for [[Personal Computer|Microsoft Windows]]. It was released on December 19, 2013. It is notable for being one of the lowest-rated games on [[Steam]] and is considered as one of the worst games of all-time.
== Gameplay ==
=== Passenger Plane ===
First, the player has to take the stairs to the gate, then he has to take the bus to the gate, then he has to take the baggage car to the gate, then he has to take the inside cleaning to the gate, then he has to take the outside cleaning to the gate, and so on.
=== Cargo Plane ===
First, the player has to drive the freight car to the gate, then drive the exterior cleaner to the gate, take everything back to the garage, and so on.
== Why It Can't Take Off ==
# Horrible graphics and model quality, even on the highest settings, the graphics are more like a game released in 2000, the textures are low resolution and the models are quite angular and makes it look like you're playing on '''weak''' '''mobile.'''
# No tutorial or any tips to indicate the new players what they're supposed to do which can make the player very confused and get lost in the game.
# Extremely repetitive gameplay: the whole gameplay mostly consists of driving various ground service vehicles over and over again, as described in a Steam review. In addition to all this, the gameplay loops almost in a circle because it consists of completing several tasks and repeating them endlessly.
#*If it's a passenger plane:
#** Drive stairs to gate.
#** Drive bus to gate.
#** Drive luggage wagon to gate.
#** Drive interior cleaning to gate.
#** Drive exterior cleaning to gate.
#*If it's a cargo plane:
#** Drive cargo wagon to gate.
#** Drive exterior cleaning to gate.
#** Drive everything back to the garage.
# Every single ground vehicle in this game is so slow, even people on foot can '''outrun''' them, thus making the gameplay even more boring and tedious. It also doesn't help that vehicles and buildings are far away, which takes up to an hour to reach them.
# All of the vehicles' (including planes) physics are absolutely awful. Whenever you crash the vehicle with another vehicle at a ''snail pace speed'', both vehicles will be thrown away and flipped as if gravity does not exist. On top of all that, these vehicles sink into the ground leaving only the wheels behind.
# To add more insult to injury, ''every'' interaction in this game (such as cargo loading) are done '''''in real time''''', which means you have to wait ''at least 5 minutes'' until you can do another interaction (which you have to wait for it to complete over and over again), which further intensifies the boredom accompanying the game.
# The game features a "helper" that you can hire to drive a vehicle for you, but this essentially '''''disables your only interaction in the whole game''''', essentially making the game technically unplayable (as all you can do is just watching the helpers do the work for you). All in all, this is probably the most useless mode in the history of the entire video game industry.
# There are '''NO''' player and passenger models in the game. When you have loaded passengers with a bus, you can only hear the chatting voice but cannot see the models. The only human model in this game is the helper models, which were of poor quality.
#* In fact, even '''steering wheel''' animations are absent.
# '''[[False advertising in games|False advertising]]:''' The developers stated that there are "many management and business options for the expansion of terminals and extension of runways", while in reality, your only interaction is to ''drive a vehicle and wait over and over again'' '''until you can hire the helper to drive a vehicle for you'''.
# Countless bug and glitches. For example, various vehicles can randomly get stuck in the tunnel, and '''the whole airport''' will sometimes disappear when you've load a saved game, also as mentioned above, vehicles can sink into the ground.
== The Only Redeeming Quality ==
# The front cover seems to be pretty good looking.
== Reception ==
''Airport Simulator 2014'' was the worst-rated game on Steam until the release of ''[[eFootball 2022]]'' with "Overwhelmingly Negative" reviews based on 533 reviews as of March 2020. Most of "positive" reviews is either sarcastic or poking the fun of the game's quality. The game is also considered as one of the worst games of all-time.
== Legacy ==
Due to extremely poor reception, UIG Entertainment (later known as UIE Games) later sold the license of ''Airport Simulator'' franchise to Rondomenia, who in-turn created an even worse sequel ''Airport Simulator 2015'', the franchise was abandoned due to poor reception until 2019, when Toplitz Productions revived the series once more time and created ''Airport Simulator 2019'', which is panned with negative reception as well. In 2021, UIE Games has bought back the series to themselves and released ''Airport Simulator 3: Day & Night''. Due to UIE Games have not learned the lesson from previous failures, the game was once again bombarded with negative reviews.<ref>https://store.steampowered.com/app/502470/Airport_Simulator_3_Day__Night/</ref>
Due to being known as "the worst game on Steam" and how buggy it is, it has gained notoriety and popularity, as it was being played by various game streamers such as Vinesauce, Nerd3, and GrayStillPlays, who's in-turn exploit the game's glitchy physics.

#'''''Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order''''' - It's a decent game, even if it didn't make too many changes from its predecessors, and a user from the Fandom CGW wikis insisted it belongs on them.

#'''Star Wars Prequels''' - They're extremely overhated by some of Star Wars fans and they didn't get that negatively received.

heartwarming story that anyone can enjoy. This film feels like a watered-down and a lamer version of that.
# Where ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'' had three stories to share. Despite this film having five stories to tell, it feels like it has about 10 stories because of how much there are so many plots that are thrown into each other, whether if they make sense or not.
#* It goes to the point of overload where the motivations for each story don't feel like they connect with each other. Especially when the title has '''Mickey''' on the cover, yet Mickey only shows up in the first and last segment of the story that doesn't focus on him ironically enough.
# While the CGI animation isn't all that bad and every character does move naturally, it looks rather mediocre, cheap-looking, and it can sometimes look uncanny for a full-feature-length film, akin to an early Dreamcast, PlayStation 2, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo GameCube or an Xbox video game. It clearly hasn't aged well since there are some models that look a bit grotesque, rubbery and stiff, particularly the non-regular cast. It doesn't help that the next attempt at bringing Mickey and his pals into the third dimension, ''Mickey Mouse Clubhouse'', became a major improvement over this. Especially when both ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'' and ''Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers'' (which the latter is co-incidentally released the same year as this film) went with 2D animation that had ''a lot'' of effort put into it despite ''those'' also being direct-to-video movies.
#* The side characters like the elves, Santa Claus himself, and most of the other side characters have bland/ugly-looking designs.
#* Mona's design is very uncanny and looks rather out of place.
# Despite having 11 writers, The writing is very subpar, and it feels lazy. The lyrics for most of the songs are so bad that they don't even feel like properly-written songs, but rather the bad kinds of songs that wouldn't even fit in context to this film (mainly because of how nobody sings when the songs are played as if they're pop songs).
#* The dialogue is often awkward and out of place most of the time.
#* For whatever reason, Kellie Martin, who voices Max's high school crush Roxanne in ''A Goofy Movie'' (1995) and made an appearance in the ''House of Mouse,'' was recast to voice Mona since the animators thought that they wouldn't be able to reanimate Roxanne by her hair design/etc and were also too lazy to animate Roxanne's red hair, which is just unbelievable. This means that Kellie Martin voices Max's girlfriend Mona (who has little to no personality) over Roxanne (a character who had a personality).
#* The humor is lackluster, to the point where there is barely, if ever, any good comedy to be found in this movie. Some moments that include having a fat reindeer named Tiny Reindeer say "what?" as a build-up to a joke in the segment "Mickey's Dog-Gone Christmas", was rather a horribly pathetic attempt at intentional comedy.
# One of the biggest problems with the movie is that most of the segments are underwhelming, boring, and mean-spirited. Much to the point that they feel rushed, even for ''Mickey Mouse'' standards.
#* The absolute '''worst''' offender of them all is Donald's segment "Donald's Gift", which is a very mean-spirited Donald torture story, even by ''Mickey Mouse'' standards, since in that segment Donald is supposed to be written like he's in the wrong, when it's clearly obvious that he isn't. Donald just wants to take a break from Christmas by sitting by the fire and having his hot cocoa after he came back home from doing errands that have Donald Duck being put through a lot of abuse and humiliating gags. But Donald's mischievous nephews (''who torment him as soon as they step foot in'') and Daisy herself force Donald to go celebrate Christmas where Donald didn't even want to go anywhere else in the first place.
#** This leads to many miserable scenes of Donald suffering from over-the-top, humiliating coincidences as Christmas-related annoyances that treat Donald as if he deserved what he was given for being "completely selfish" and for not wanting to celebrate Christmas, which is just frustrating to watch. This makes Donald destroy an animatronic Christmas show because of this. Nobody sympathizes with Donald ''at all'' and nearly everyone puts him through more suffering just for not having "the Christmas spirit", which all makes you feel extremely bad for Donald all the way through. Especially when he never got anything in return for what Donald was put through, even when Donald was ''actually'' trying to do something good like helping a choir sing better when Donald was feeling remorseful and sorrowful after everyone guilt-tripped him.
#* Not to mention that both Mickey and Donald are equally treated like the bad guys who "deserve some form of comeuppance" for whatever reason. The former got mad at Pluto for messing up the place that was caused by Pluto's impulsive clumsiness (something some viewers would perceive Mickey berating Pluto as out-of-character for Mickey to do) where Mickey wanted to go retrieve Pluto when the latter leaves him, and the latter was because of everyone's aforementioned irredeemable acts of selfishness.
#* The final segment "Mickey's Dog-Gone Christmas" overall is pretty much a lazy rehash of the ''Mickey Mouse Works'' episode "Pluto Runs Away", albeit with the Christmas and "lost dog" themes mixed in altogether but with none of the fun, charm, and cleverness that episode had.
# '''Heaps of continuity errors:''' This film is quite difficult (practically impossible, really) to place within the greater continuity of all of the previous appearances of Max, Huey, Dewey, and Louie since the film has very poor connections and poor continuities to not only the film ''Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas'', but also other Mickey Mouse/Donald Duck/Goofy television and film appearances such as ''Goof Troop'' and ''House of Mouse''. This means that this film isn’t canon to those aforementioned appearances and therefore, set in an alternate continuity.
#* In the previous film, ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'', the four of them were all children, with Max presented as being even younger than his appearance in ''Goof Troop'' and Donald's nephews presented as still living with him. This indicates that ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'' took place at some point prior to the events of both ''DuckTales'' (in which the nephews, still as children, live with Scrooge McDuck after Donald joins the Navy) and ''Goof Troop'' (in which Max is an 11½-year-old preteen). By the time of ''A Goofy Movie'' and ''Quack Pack'', Max, Huey, Dewey, and Louie have all grown into high school-aged teenagers, with ''An Extremely Goofy Movie'' having Max grown further into a college-aged teenager. In the ''House of Mouse'' TV series, Max is still a teenager but old enough to be employed as a parking valet, while Huey, Dewey, and Louie (who were often seen in their ''Quack Pack'' designs, albeit recolored) are on the cusp of young adulthood. Because of this Christmas special presenting Donald's nephews as children at the same time that Max is a young adult (with the four even interacting together in the very last scene), ''Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas'' is virtually irreconcilable with the larger continuity of all of the aforementioned TV shows, movies, and even its own predecessor ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas''.
#** Consequently, this ultimately results to '''a massive plot-hole''' between this film and ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'', such as on either '''why Huey, Dewey and Louie haven't even aged since the events of ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'''''<nowiki/>'','' or '''how did Huey, Dewey and Louie somehow aged down to children since their previous appearance in ''House of Mouse''''', hence further adding to this film's inconsistencies with all that came before it.
#* Additionally, Goofy's house appears to have a rather large front yard that extends off to the side where Pete's house stood in both ''Goof Troop'' (as well as its two sequel films ''A Goofy Movie'' and ''An Extremely Goofy Movie'') and ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'', meaning that Pete's house is missing from where it ought to be in this film, although Pete himself doesn’t appear in the film, unlike the previous film.
#* And while the house's exterior does bear a decent resemblance to that of the Goof House seen in ''Goof Troop'' its interior more closely resembles that of the very different-looking Goof House seen in ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'', which itself had a completely different interior room layout (as well as a very different exterior design) from the house seen in ''Goof Troop'' (e.g. - the living room and kitchen sit on opposite sides of the house, instead of both sharing the same side and back end of the house like they did in ''Goof Troop''). Since Goofy and Max only first moved into their ''Goof Troop'' house in that series' first episode, the house they lived in ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'' has to have been a different house that they lived in prior to their first moving to Spoonerville. So, if Goofy, in this film, is supposed to still be living in the same house he's lived in since ''Goof Troop'', the inside of the house really shouldn't resemble the very different house from the first film, yet it does, further adding to this film's inconsistencies with all that came before it.
#* Plus, both the interior and exterior of McDuck Manor as seen in this movie bare very little resemblance to their appearance in ''DuckTales''.
# Much like ''Christmas with the Kranks'' (another bad Christmas movie produced and released the exact same year)'','' it gives a badly sugarcoated moral that everyone should just accept everything about Christmas and unconditionally overindulge themselves with the Christmas spirit by giving a "you're a bad person if you don't want to celebrate the holidays" type of message that encourages tons of excessive consumerism & commercialism down everyone's throats. Which is also seems like a very confusing message.
#* Especially when Donald (a poor victim that suffers from this "moral") just wanted to chillax on the holidays but was thoroughly forced to be involved in an extremely materialistic environment.
# This movie is filled to the brim with generic Christmas commercialism, where its predecessor was much more simple than that.
# Almost every message in each segment seems to have a "don't be a jerk" message that is all told in a poorly executed way since nobody with a "jerkass" quality in any segment was done right.
#* This ranges from the ''actually'' selfish characters who never got their comeuppance or even learned anything meaningful about their mistakes (i.e. Donald's nephews, Daisy to some extent, and the townspeople), to characters that are treated like a karmic "jerkass" type of character when that was actually rather contradictory since they were presented as "butt-monkey"/"designated butt-monkey" types of characters in actuality, like Mickey and Donald themselves.
# Almost all of the characters (aside from Mickey, Donald, and Goofy) are bland, unlikeable, out of character, one-dimensional to the point of having very little to no personality, and are poorly written.
#* Huey, Dewey, and Louie are portrayed into annoyingly mischievous and troublemaking spoiled brats who are irredeemable, even worse than their appearances in ''Quack Pack''. They mail themselves to Santa, so they can weasel their way out of the naughty list so they can receive presents as a way to be on the "nice" list for everything they've ever done.
#* Daisy Duck is badly flanderized, even worse than her previous appearances in ''Mickey Mouse Works'' and ''House of Mouse''. She is depicted as a self-absorbed, egotistical, and jealous jerk to Minnie (having an unfitting Mickey vs. Donald type of rivalry) who sabotaged Minnie's act for whatever reason other than jealousy and wanting to be the center of attention, which resulted in her comeuppance (where Minnie didn't need to feel like she made a mistake since it was Daisy who should've had her retribution when the skating act was trashed). She also treats Donald poorly here too, Daisy is demanding and treats Donald like crap, she never feels ''any'' sympathy or empathy for Donald in the slightest. Which is on par with her appearance in Disney's ''Legend of the Three Caballeros.''
#* Pluto, instead of being the mischievous and energetic but loyal and faithful pet dog of Mickey which he is best known for in his other appearances, is instead badly portrayed as a stupidly idiotic dog who disobeys Mickey when the latter told him to wait before Pluto was wanting to put the star on Mickey's tree as a part of Mickey's tradition, it was all done with complete disregard to what Mickey just said to Pluto, and then Mickey's house was trashed by sheer coincidence in the span of ''three to five minutes.'' Mickey gets understandably frustrated at Pluto for not listening, and he rightfully calls Pluto out for his clumsiness and impulsiveness by telling him to go outside as any pet owner would do. Feeling rejected, He leaves his home (and his collar in his doghouse) as he acts like he is seriously underappreciated by anyone in a strangely rebellious way and thought that Mickey was disowning him by kicking him out of the house (despite an earlier scene of Mickey showing unconditional love to Pluto before Mickey was busy on the phone with Minnie and was also setting up the decorations in his home). Pluto drastically runs away to the North Pole for whatever reason other than running away from his "problems". Just to come back home to Mickey when he felt 'homesick' after spending time with some reindeer as a stray dog roaming around in the North Pole, thinking about Mickey.
#* While Scrooge McDuck, Minnie, and Max aren't exactly unlikable or out of character per se, they have very little characterization thanks to poor writing.
#** Scrooge McDuck was written to serve as a reminder/plot device to Donald's nephews for why Santa Claus and having the Christmas spirit is important to everyone since Scrooge always wants to get a bagpipe from Santa by being on the nice list (which doesn't make any sense since Scrooge is rich enough to buy anything he's ever wanted. Especially when one of Donald's nephews pointed this out to him while Scrooge disagrees for whatever reason).
#** Minnie is written out to be the likable and sympathetic character throughout her segment, while this does remain true since Daisy is the one who instigated the conflict during the skating act, yet she also shows aggressive tendencies towards Daisy as if it's a ''Mickey vs. Donald'' type of rivalry that is rather out of character for her.
#** Max is written as a watered-down version of his previous appearances in both ''A Goofy Movie'' and ''An Extremely Goofy Movie'' when it comes to bringing over his girlfriend, Mona, to meet his dad and impress her. Where Max is portrayed as both, boring and seemingly selfish for resenting Goofy's antics instead of accepting Goofy for the way he is. However, Max's reaction is a lot more understandable when you consider that Goofy seemingly makes absolutely no attempt to avoid embarrassing him (for instance, he shows Max' girlfriend an old baby picture of Max for no reason), and the song used in the short suggests that his antics have already ruined Max's previous chances for romance. It also helps Max's case that he's never outright rude to Goofy, the worst he does is saying things like "this embarrasses me, so stop doing it" and rejecting Goofy's offer to have cookies inside when he wants to go for a walk.
#*** Despite all of this, Max continually thinks that it looks like Goofy's embarrassing him to the point of scaring Mona away, where Mona is rather contented and having a good time being with Goofy to the point of appreciating Max for who he is. This feels kinda pointless from Max's side of the story and it kinda makes Max seem a bit stupid.
#**** This also leaves Max on a whisper note before he makes his next appearance in ''DuckTales'' (2017).
#* Max's newfound girlfriend, Mona, has little to no personality. She barely has any lines and only serves as the typical love interest whom Max is wanting to introduce to his dad and also fears that Mona herself being embarrassed or wanting to reject Max for Goofy's awkwardness. Not to mention that she serves as a stand-in for Roxanne, right down to being voiced by Kellie Martin (see BQ #4).
# Despite Santa Claus being a running theme throughout most of the movie and was a rather big deal in the last movie, this version of Santa Claus is very unremarkable, generic, overly safe, and completely bland. Much to the point that Santa Claus is an plot device for everyone getting into the Christmas spirit.
# The film overall feels lazy and rather a disappointing attempt at recreating what ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'' accomplished but in 3D.
# '''False advertising/Misleading title:''' As stated at BQ#2, despite appearing in the title and taking up about 90% of the image in the film's promotional poster, Mickey doesn’t really have a big role despite only appearing in the film's first and final segments, not to mention that none of the film's segments even focus on him, unlike the previous film.
== Good Qualities ==
# Mickey, Goofy, and Donald are all likable characters despite them being used poorly in the film. Even if Scrooge McDuck, Mona, Minnie, and Max have very little characterization, they are all passable characters.
# Daisy Duck was massively redeemed after this movie, ''Mickey Mouse Works'', and ''Disney's House of Mouse'' where she got her classic personality back beginning with ''Mickey Mouse Clubhouse'' (except “Legend of the Three Caballos”). The same goes with all of the other characters after this movie.
#* On a side note, Daisy's laughter when Donald receives the Big Book Of Manners for Christmas is quite lovely to listen to, and the CGI animation on her when she laughs is very attractive.
# Goofy's segment "Christmas Maximus" is rather decent, especially compared to the rest. The lyrics for Max's song may be hokey and cliché, but still, it was passable. This segment actually matches the more positive and cheery tone of Christmas more than every other segment does.
#* Likewise, there are some things viewers can find good things to say about ''several'' segments like "Christmas: Impossible" for example, where some people can find Huey, Dewy, and Louie's mischievous nature entertaining despite their Flanderization and can see how it somewhat has a similar theme from the first movie's storytelling, where the trio do help Scrooge out being on the nice list at the end of the short.
#* Despite how underwhelming Donald's segment "Donald's Gift" is, there are viewers who can find good things to say about the short like how Donald trashing up the Christmas show out of pure rage and frustration can be viewed as '''hilarious or just comical.'''
# Every once in a while, there is a good visual joke or a ''actually'' funny line here and there. For example, the grumpy dog asks one of Donald's nephews the following question, "What are the odds!?".
# The CGI animation may be mediocre and sometimes uncanny, but it has good qualities where Christmas wishes came true.
#* Some characters have passable designs, like the dancing crocodiles and hippos from ''Fantasia'' at the start of the film for example.
#* In fact, what's more, is that the CGI animation was also done by Blur Studio, who did the cutscenes for the modern ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' games, the ''2020 movie'' and its sequel and Sparx*, who did the animation for Rolie Polie Olie.
# Some bits of the music here and there can be very nice to listen to.
#* "Share This Day" by Josh Kelly, for example, is a song that even detractors of this film also enjoy listening to.
#* Even Stephen James Taylor's musical score sounds nice to hear.
# While there are some mean-spirited and bad morals in most of the segments, there's none that little kids would probably get.
# Compared to DisneyToon’s next release, that being Mulan II, this movie is passable.

Movie'' having Max grown further into a college-aged teenager.

#* Additionally, Goofy's house appears to have a rather large front yard that extends off to the side where Pete's house stood in both ''Goof Troop'' (as well as its two sequel films ''A Goofy Movie'' and ''An Extremely Goofy Movie'') and ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'', meaning that Pete's house is missing from where it ought to be in this film, although Pete himself doesn’t appear in the film, unlike the previous film.

'''Mickey's Twice Upon A Christmas''' is a 2004 computer-animated direct-to-video Christmas comedy and is a sequel to Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas. The segments in this video feature Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Pluto, Goofy, Max, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and Scrooge McDuck in five different segments. Along with Mickey's PhilharMagic theme park attraction, this production was one of the first to depict the Mickey Mouse series characters in CGI animation.
== Bad Qualities ==
# To write down the first problem, it is often considered a cash-in sequel from a mile away, all because of its presentation. Considering that it is one of the many not-so-good direct-to-DVD movies DisneyToon Studios has been turning out in the 2000s, especially since the 2000s was a rough time for Disney. This one is exceptionally the CGI embodiment of this.
#* It fails to retell charming Christmas stories that the previous film, ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas,'' did right. Where that movie told a simple, corny yet sweet, emotional, and heartwarming story that anyone can enjoy. This film feels like a watered-down and a lamer version of that.
# Where ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'' had three stories to share. Despite this film having five stories to tell, it feels like it has about 10 stories because of how much there are so many plots that are thrown into each other, whether if they make sense or not.
#* It goes to the point of overload where the motivations for each story don't feel like they connect with each other. Especially when the title has '''Mickey''' on the cover, yet Mickey only shows up in the first and last segment of the story that doesn't focus on him ironically enough.
# While the CGI animation isn't all that bad and every character does move naturally, it looks rather mediocre, cheap-looking, and it can sometimes look uncanny for a full-feature-length film, akin to an early Dreamcast, PlayStation 2, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo GameCube or an Xbox video game. It clearly hasn't aged well since there are some models that look a bit grotesque, rubbery and stiff, particularly the non-regular cast. It doesn't help that the next attempt at bringing Mickey and his pals into the third dimension, ''Mickey Mouse Clubhouse'', became a major improvement over this. Especially when both ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'' and ''Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers'' (which the latter is co-incidentally released the same year as this film) went with 2D animation that had ''a lot'' of effort put into it despite ''those'' also being direct-to-video movies.
#* The side characters like the elves, Santa Claus himself, and most of the other side characters have bland/ugly-looking designs.
#* Mona's design is very uncanny and looks rather out of place.
# Despite having 11 writers, The writing is very subpar, and it feels lazy. The lyrics for most of the songs are so bad that they don't even feel like properly-written songs, but rather the bad kinds of songs that wouldn't even fit in context to this film (mainly because of how nobody sings when the songs are played as if they're pop songs).
#* The dialogue is often awkward and out of place most of the time.
#* For whatever reason, Kellie Martin, who voices Max's high school crush Roxanne in ''A Goofy Movie'' (1995) and made an appearance in the ''House of Mouse,'' was recast to voice Mona since the animators thought that they wouldn't be able to reanimate Roxanne by her hair design/etc and were also too lazy to animate Roxanne's red hair, which is just unbelievable. This means that Kellie Martin voices Max's girlfriend Mona (who has little to no personality) over Roxanne (a character who had a personality).
#* The humor is lackluster, to the point where there is barely, if ever, any good comedy to be found in this movie. Some moments that include having a fat reindeer named Tiny Reindeer say "what?" as a build-up to a joke in the segment "Mickey's Dog-Gone Christmas", was rather a horribly pathetic attempt at intentional comedy.
# One of the biggest problems with the movie is that most of the segments are underwhelming, boring, and mean-spirited. Much to the point that they feel rushed, even for ''Mickey Mouse'' standards.
#* The absolute '''worst''' offender of them all is Donald's segment "Donald's Gift", which is a very mean-spirited Donald torture story, even by ''Mickey Mouse'' standards, since in that segment Donald is supposed to be written like he's in the wrong, when it's clearly obvious that he isn't. Donald just wants to take a break from Christmas by sitting by the fire and having his hot cocoa after he came back home from doing errands that have Donald Duck being put through a lot of abuse and humiliating gags. But Donald's mischievous nephews (''who torment him as soon as they step foot in'') and Daisy herself force Donald to go celebrate Christmas where Donald didn't even want to go anywhere else in the first place.
#** This leads to many miserable scenes of Donald suffering from over-the-top, humiliating coincidences as Christmas-related annoyances that treat Donald as if he deserved what he was given for being "completely selfish" and for not wanting to celebrate Christmas, which is just frustrating to watch. This makes Donald destroy an animatronic Christmas show because of this. Nobody sympathizes with Donald ''at all'' and nearly everyone puts him through more suffering just for not having "the Christmas spirit", which all makes you feel extremely bad for Donald all the way through. Especially when he never got anything in return for what Donald was put through, even when Donald was ''actually'' trying to do something good like helping a choir sing better when Donald was feeling remorseful and sorrowful after everyone guilt-tripped him.
#* Not to mention that both Mickey and Donald are equally treated like the bad guys who "deserve some form of comeuppance" for whatever reason. The former got mad at Pluto for messing up the place that was caused by Pluto's impulsive clumsiness (something some viewers would perceive Mickey berating Pluto as out-of-character for Mickey to do) where Mickey wanted to go retrieve Pluto when the latter leaves him, and the latter was because of everyone's aforementioned irredeemable acts of selfishness.
#* The final segment "Mickey's Dog-Gone Christmas" overall is pretty much a lazy rehash of the ''Mickey Mouse Works'' episode "Pluto Runs Away", albeit with the Christmas and "lost dog" themes mixed in altogether but with none of the fun, charm, and cleverness that episode had.
# '''Heaps of continuity errors:''' This film is quite difficult (practically impossible, really) to place within the greater continuity of all of the previous appearances of Max, Huey, Dewey, and Louie since the film has very poor connections and poor continuities to not only the film ''Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas'', but also other Mickey Mouse/Donald Duck/Goofy television and film appearances such as ''Goof Troop'' and ''House of Mouse''. This means that this film isn’t canon to those aforementioned appearances and therefore, set in an alternate continuity.
#* In the previous film, ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'', the four of them were all children, with Max presented as being even younger than his appearance in ''Goof Troop'' and Donald's nephews presented as still living with him. This indicates that ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'' took place at some point prior to the events of both ''DuckTales'' (in which the nephews, still as children, live with Scrooge McDuck after Donald joins the Navy) and ''Goof Troop'' (in which Max is an 11½-year-old preteen). By the time of ''A Goofy Movie'' and ''Quack Pack'', Max, Huey, Dewey, and Louie have all grown into high school-aged teenagers, with ''An Extremely Goofy Movie'' having Max grown further into a college-aged teenager. In the ''House of Mouse'' TV series, Max is still a teenager but old enough to be employed as a parking valet, while Huey, Dewey, and Louie (who were often seen in their ''Quack Pack'' designs, albeit recolored) are on the cusp of young adulthood. Because of this Christmas special presenting Donald's nephews as children at the same time that Max is a young adult (with the four even interacting together in the very last scene), ''Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas'' is virtually irreconcilable with the larger continuity of all of the aforementioned TV shows, movies, and even its own predecessor ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas''.
#** Consequently, this ultimately results to '''a massive plot-hole''' between this film and ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'', such as on either '''why Huey, Dewey and Louie haven't even aged since the events of ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'''''<nowiki/>'','' or '''how did Huey, Dewey and Louie somehow aged down to children since their previous appearance in ''House of Mouse''''', hence further adding to this film's inconsistencies with all that came before it.
#* Additionally, Goofy's house appears to have a rather large front yard that extends off to the side where Pete's house stood in both ''Goof Troop'' (as well as its two sequel films ''A Goofy Movie'' and ''An Extremely Goofy Movie'') and ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'', meaning that Pete's house is missing from where it ought to be in this film, although Pete himself doesn’t appear in the film, unlike the previous film.
#* And while the house's exterior does bear a decent resemblance to that of the Goof House seen in ''Goof Troop'' its interior more closely resembles that of the very different-looking Goof House seen in ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'', which itself had a completely different interior room layout (as well as a very different exterior design) from the house seen in ''Goof Troop'' (e.g. - the living room and kitchen sit on opposite sides of the house, instead of both sharing the same side and back end of the house like they did in ''Goof Troop''). Since Goofy and Max only first moved into their ''Goof Troop'' house in that series' first episode, the house they lived in ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'' has to have been a different house that they lived in prior to their first moving to Spoonerville. So, if Goofy, in this film, is supposed to still be living in the same house he's lived in since ''Goof Troop'', the inside of the house really shouldn't resemble the very different house from the first film, yet it does, further adding to this film's inconsistencies with all that came before it.
#* Plus, both the interior and exterior of McDuck Manor as seen in this movie bare very little resemblance to their appearance in ''DuckTales''.
# Much like ''Christmas with the Kranks'' (another bad Christmas movie produced and released the exact same year)'','' it gives a badly sugarcoated moral that everyone should just accept everything about Christmas and unconditionally overindulge themselves with the Christmas spirit by giving a "you're a bad person if you don't want to celebrate the holidays" type of message that encourages tons of excessive consumerism & commercialism down everyone's throats. Which is also seems like a very confusing message.
#* Especially when Donald (a poor victim that suffers from this "moral") just wanted to chillax on the holidays but was thoroughly forced to be involved in an extremely materialistic environment.
# This movie is filled to the brim with generic Christmas commercialism, where its predecessor was much more simple than that.
# Almost every message in each segment seems to have a "don't be a jerk" message that is all told in a poorly executed way since nobody with a "jerkass" quality in any segment was done right.
#* This ranges from the ''actually'' selfish characters who never got their comeuppance or even learned anything meaningful about their mistakes (i.e. Donald's nephews, Daisy to some extent, and the townspeople), to characters that are treated like a karmic "jerkass" type of character when that was actually rather contradictory since they were presented as "butt-monkey"/"designated butt-monkey" types of characters in actuality, like Mickey and Donald themselves.
# Almost all of the characters (aside from Mickey, Donald, and Goofy) are bland, unlikeable, out of character, one-dimensional to the point of having very little to no personality, and are poorly written.
#* Huey, Dewey, and Louie are portrayed into annoyingly mischievous and troublemaking spoiled brats who are irredeemable, even worse than their appearances in ''Quack Pack''. They mail themselves to Santa, so they can weasel their way out of the naughty list so they can receive presents as a way to be on the "nice" list for everything they've ever done.
#* Daisy Duck is badly flanderized, even worse than her previous appearances in ''Mickey Mouse Works'' and ''House of Mouse''. She is depicted as a self-absorbed, egotistical, and jealous jerk to Minnie (having an unfitting Mickey vs. Donald type of rivalry) who sabotaged Minnie's act for whatever reason other than jealousy and wanting to be the center of attention, which resulted in her comeuppance (where Minnie didn't need to feel like she made a mistake since it was Daisy who should've had her retribution when the skating act was trashed). She also treats Donald poorly here too, Daisy is demanding and treats Donald like crap, she never feels ''any'' sympathy or empathy for Donald in the slightest. Which is on par with her appearance in Disney's ''Legend of the Three Caballeros.''
#* Pluto, instead of being the mischievous and energetic but loyal and faithful pet dog of Mickey which he is best known for in his other appearances, is instead badly portrayed as a stupidly idiotic dog who disobeys Mickey when the latter told him to wait before Pluto was wanting to put the star on Mickey's tree as a part of Mickey's tradition, it was all done with complete disregard to what Mickey just said to Pluto, and then Mickey's house was trashed by sheer coincidence in the span of ''three to five minutes.'' Mickey gets understandably frustrated at Pluto for not listening, and he rightfully calls Pluto out for his clumsiness and impulsiveness by telling him to go outside as any pet owner would do. Feeling rejected, He leaves his home (and his collar in his doghouse) as he acts like he is seriously underappreciated by anyone in a strangely rebellious way and thought that Mickey was disowning him by kicking him out of the house (despite an earlier scene of Mickey showing unconditional love to Pluto before Mickey was busy on the phone with Minnie and was also setting up the decorations in his home). Pluto drastically runs away to the North Pole for whatever reason other than running away from his "problems". Just to come back home to Mickey when he felt 'homesick' after spending time with some reindeer as a stray dog roaming around in the North Pole, thinking about Mickey.
#* While Scrooge McDuck, Minnie, and Max aren't exactly unlikable or out of character per se, they have very little characterization thanks to poor writing.
#** Scrooge McDuck was written to serve as a reminder/plot device to Donald's nephews for why Santa Claus and having the Christmas spirit is important to everyone since Scrooge always wants to get a bagpipe from Santa by being on the nice list (which doesn't make any sense since Scrooge is rich enough to buy anything he's ever wanted. Especially when one of Donald's nephews pointed this out to him while Scrooge disagrees for whatever reason).
#** Minnie is written out to be the likable and sympathetic character throughout her segment, while this does remain true since Daisy is the one who instigated the conflict during the skating act, yet she also shows aggressive tendencies towards Daisy as if it's a ''Mickey vs. Donald'' type of rivalry that is rather out of character for her.
#** Max is written as a watered-down version of his previous appearances in both ''A Goofy Movie'' and ''An Extremely Goofy Movie'' when it comes to bringing over his girlfriend, Mona, to meet his dad and impress her. Where Max is portrayed as both, boring and seemingly selfish for resenting Goofy's antics instead of accepting Goofy for the way he is. However, Max's reaction is a lot more understandable when you consider that Goofy seemingly makes absolutely no attempt to avoid embarrassing him (for instance, he shows Max' girlfriend an old baby picture of Max for no reason), and the song used in the short suggests that his antics have already ruined Max's previous chances for romance. It also helps Max's case that he's never outright rude to Goofy, the worst he does is saying things like "this embarrasses me, so stop doing it" and rejecting Goofy's offer to have cookies inside when he wants to go for a walk.
#*** Despite all of this, Max continually thinks that it looks like Goofy's embarrassing him to the point of scaring Mona away, where Mona is rather contented and having a good time being with Goofy to the point of appreciating Max for who he is. This feels kinda pointless from Max's side of the story and it kinda makes Max seem a bit stupid.
#**** This also leaves Max on a whisper note before he makes his next appearance in ''DuckTales'' (2017).
#* Max's newfound girlfriend, Mona, has little to no personality. She barely has any lines and only serves as the typical love interest whom Max is wanting to introduce to his dad and also fears that Mona herself being embarrassed or wanting to reject Max for Goofy's awkwardness. Not to mention that she serves as a stand-in for Roxanne, right down to being voiced by Kellie Martin (see BQ #4).
# Despite Santa Claus being a running theme throughout most of the movie and was a rather big deal in the last movie, this version of Santa Claus is very unremarkable, generic, overly safe, and completely bland. Much to the point that Santa Claus is an plot device for everyone getting into the Christmas spirit.
# The film overall feels lazy and rather a disappointing attempt at recreating what ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'' accomplished but in 3D.
# '''False advertising/Misleading title:''' As stated at BQ#2, despite appearing in the title and taking up about 90% of the image in the film's promotional poster, Mickey doesn’t really have a big role despite only appearing in the film's first and final segments, not to mention that none of the film's segments even focus on him, unlike the previous film.
== Good Qualities ==
# Mickey, Goofy, and Donald are all likable characters despite them being used poorly in the film. Even if Scrooge McDuck, Mona, Minnie, and Max have very little characterization, they are all passable characters.
# Daisy Duck was massively redeemed after this movie, ''Mickey Mouse Works'', and ''Disney's House of Mouse'' where she got her classic personality back beginning with ''Mickey Mouse Clubhouse'' (except “Legend of the Three Caballos”). The same goes with all of the other characters after this movie.
#* On a side note, Daisy's laughter when Donald receives the Big Book Of Manners for Christmas is quite lovely to listen to, and the CGI animation on her when she laughs is very attractive.
# Goofy's segment "Christmas Maximus" is rather decent, especially compared to the rest. The lyrics for Max's song may be hokey and cliché, but still, it was passable. This segment actually matches the more positive and cheery tone of Christmas more than every other segment does.
#* Likewise, there are some things viewers can find good things to say about ''several'' segments like "Christmas: Impossible" for example, where some people can find Huey, Dewy, and Louie's mischievous nature entertaining despite their Flanderization and can see how it somewhat has a similar theme from the first movie's storytelling, where the trio do help Scrooge out being on the nice list at the end of the short.
#* Despite how underwhelming Donald's segment "Donald's Gift" is, there are viewers who can find good things to say about the short like how Donald trashing up the Christmas show out of pure rage and frustration can be viewed as '''hilarious or just comical.'''
# Every once in a while, there is a good visual joke or a ''actually'' funny line here and there. For example, the grumpy dog asks one of Donald's nephews the following question, "What are the odds!?".
# The CGI animation may be mediocre and sometimes uncanny, but it has good qualities where Christmas wishes came true.
#* Some characters have passable designs, like the dancing crocodiles and hippos from ''Fantasia'' at the start of the film for example.
#* In fact, what's more, is that the CGI animation was also done by Blur Studio, who did the cutscenes for the modern ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' games, the ''2020 movie'' and its sequel and Sparx*, who did the animation for Rolie Polie Olie.
# Some bits of the music here and there can be very nice to listen to.
#* "Share This Day" by Josh Kelly, for example, is a song that even detractors of this film also enjoy listening to.
#* Even Stephen James Taylor's musical score sounds nice to hear.
# While there are some mean-spirited and bad morals in most of the segments, there's none that little kids would probably get.
# Compared to DisneyToon’s next release, that being Mulan II, this movie is passable.

== Trivia ==
* This is Disney's first ever computer-animated film without Pixar overall, and also their first computer-animated film without Walt Disney Animation Studios or Pixar.

NIGGA s of all time and the greatest plagiarism in the history of video games, as a result of which the game was quickly removed from store shelves.
The story is based on the mysterious disappearance of [[wikipedia:Captain Benjamin Spooner Briggs|Captain Benjamin Spooner Briggs]].
== Background ==
In the early 1990s, Majestic Studios was originally developing the game for the Atari ST as a graphical text adventure game. Publishers were interested in the game but only if it was completed. Once they failed on completing the game, they later developed it for the Amiga 500 but now as a point-and-click adventure game. Rasputin Software agreed to publish the game and allowed a port for the Amiga 1200 and [[Amiga CD32]]. When there was no demand for those computers, it was eventually developed for Windows this time needing to learn how to use 3D development tools.
== Plot ==
Benjamin Briggs, captain of the [[wikipedia:Mary Celeste|Mary Celeste]] is stuck in Limbo after being missing from his ship. He ends up having to help Destiny win a war against Fate.
== Why It's Lost in Limbo ==
#[[Development hell|The game had been under development for 13 years]] (since 1994 to 2007). Due to this, most of various elements and gameplay mechanics were horribly aged at the release.
#There is huge amounts of plagiarism. From backgrounds, assets, FMVs, menus, and font. The developers did little to hide that they were stolen from different sources. Notable sources of theft include [[The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion]], [[Return To Castle Wolfenstein]], Enclave, [[Diablo II]], [[Painkiller]], [[World of Warcraft]], [[Thief: The Dark Project]], [[Beetlejuice]], and [[Spawn]].
#*There's a scene where Briggs plays the flute that makes the first few notes from the iconic Indiana Jones theme. They didn't just steal the song, they stole the notes from an easter egg in [[Serious Sam]]. '''That's right, the developers couldn't be bothered to make a simple tune themselves or even make their own version of the Indiana Jones theme!'''
#The cutscenes are reminiscent of the [[Link: The Faces of Evil and Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon|Zelda CD-i games]] in which the characters have ungodly animations, non-existent lip-syncing, and constantly zoom in and out. Briggs himself is easily the worst offender during cutscenes because he will stare blankly at nothing as if he's not alive and sometimes would awkwardly smile at the player.
#Other than the mystery of his disappearance, there's no reason why Benjamin Briggs is the main character. There's no mention of his family or his crew from the Mary Celeste. The protagonist could have been literally anyone and the story wouldn't change at all. In fact, Briggs looks more like DarksydePhil with blue eyes and less weight than what he looks like in real life.
#The DVD that came included with the game elaborates more on the plot than the game itself. It feels like it should've played at the very beginning of the game and not be on a separate disk! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIL_OWlNbyE|The footage also looks like it was edited by someone who used Windows Movie Maker for the first time]. And just like the game, there is also plagiarism in the form of videos which are from the CryEngine 2 demo and the Pirates of the Caribbean game released in 2003.
#The character models all look hideous, looking more like they were from a cutscene in an adventure game from 1997, rather than a game made in 2007!
#The screens are screenshots from plagiarized games, some of which are mentioned in W.I.S. #2. The developers didn't think of having the screens being connected, however; like, for example, if there is an open door shown from a screenshot from a different game, the game doesn't show that you can go through that door. It became a meme to put Benjamin Briggs in screenshots from different games and media because of this.<ref>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/features</ref>
#Some of the solutions to puzzles are practically impossible to solve unless you're using a guide.
#*One puzzle requires you to get ingredients for a sleeping potion that the cook Cranny F*ggot (yes, that's her name) can use to make one for you in order to get a guard to fall asleep (who's already sleeping prior to taking the potion) in order for you to steal the key around his neck. One of the ingredients is tequila. How do you get it? You mix water with a worm! How does that make any sense?!
#*You need to make a fake drink called the "soul of a warrior" that's a green liquid in order to take the real drink. You have to mix a bottle of water with a bag of saffron that magically makes the water turn green! Even if you follow the logic with the color of both items, the red saffron and blue water would make the liquid yellow, not green!
#Sometimes when the cutscene ends, you automatically leave the screen that you were in. This is a bad design because you end up missing important items that were on that screen. You end up wasting time to go back to the previous screen and get the item.
#The compass in the UI never stops spinning, which makes it pointless as to why it's there in the first place. It stops spinning when you move the cursor to where you can move to a different room, but it doesn't always work.
#There's a part where you have to find a secret entrance into a dungeon. It's not made obvious what the solution is. What you have to do is go to a specific spot in a bar and move the cursor until it changes and then you click at it. How in the world would anyone know that?! Even if you did know what to do, it's still a hassle because since this is a point and click game, every time you click you move to that spot.
#The game crashes frequently.
#Some items are too difficult to click on because you have to click on specific pixels on the item itself in order to interact or pick it up. Some items are too difficult to spot due to limited visibility. It doesn't help that some items that you would think are important and are easily found are items that you can't pick up.
#Terrible audio mixing.
#Frequent grammar errors in sentences. There is also more than one use of periods when a sentence ends, for some reason.
#Horrible voice acting that's all being done by one person.
#*The voice actor starts to have a coughing fit for a few seconds in the middle of the dialogue for one of the characters. The captions list the coughing, but the character himself is moving his lips as if he's speaking, indicating this wasn't meant to happen.
#*The main character, Benjamin Briggs, despite being an American in real-life history, sounds more like a person with a British accent in this game.
#There's no way to change the level of the volume in the game. That includes music, sound effects, and dialogue. If you change the volume in the audio mixer, the volume will be changed accordingly, but once you go to another room, the volume level goes back to where it was before.
#A very bizarre ending that [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URcvdDtnM_0|needs to be seen to be believed].
== Redeeming Qualities ==
#Voice acting can be so bad it's good.
#The main theme song is actually decent.
== Reception ==
The game has a negative reception from the few critics that played the game when it released and is considered as one of the worst games of all-time. It currently has a 2.15 on GameFAQs. Polish video game magazine CD-Action gave the game a -1 out of 10 for the first time in the magazine's history.
On June 12, Tri Synergy stopped shipping the game due to allegations of plagiarism. They claim that they had no idea that there was anything stolen in the game and Majestic Studios says that they didn't steal anything and claim that it was the doing of an unnamed outsourced company. Because of this, the game is very rare and can cost hundreds of dollars in secondhand markets. It was even discovered that the Amiga demo made in the 1990s also has plagiarized materials in it.
The ending hinted at a sequel with the title Limbo of the Lost II: Flight to Freedom, but obviously this wasn't going to be made because of its reception and the closure of Majestic Studios.
BartekGM hailed it as the worst game of all time due to mass plagiarism, giving it a -2/10 rating, and the game held that title until episode 100 when it was finally dethroned by CrazyBus. NRGeek also found it to be the worst game he's ever played, criticizing literally everything.
== Trivia ==
*One of the developers pretended to be a fan of the game with the username FABLE and discouraged people from using guides due to how "disrespectful" it would be to the developers for their hard work for creating the puzzles. Things got so bad that the same developer using the username MSTUDIOS on the forum backed himself up. The site owner noticed that both accounts have the same IP address, but MSTUDIOS said that FABLE is a play tester and Majestic Studios only has one computer for "safety reasons." The site owner didn't believe his lie and locked the thread.<ref>https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/233736/1</ref>
*The name Cranny F*ggot may be based on the late English TV chef Fanny Cradock and the traditional dish in the United Kingdom.
*Planning for the game began as early as 1990, when the company that produced the game, Majestic Studios, was founded.

'''''Limbo of the Lost''''' is a graphic adventure game developed by the British three-person development team Majestic Studios and published by G2 Games in Europe, 1C Company in Russia, and Tri Synergy in North America. This is Majestic Studio's only game released before they closed down. The game won the title of one of the worst games of all time and the greatest plagiarism in the history of video games, as a result of which the game was quickly removed from store shelves.
The story is based on the mysterious disappearance of [[wikipedia:Captain Benjamin Spooner Briggs|Captain Benjamin Spooner Briggs]].
== Background ==
In the early 1990s, Majestic Studios was originally developing the game for the Atari ST as a graphical text adventure game. Publishers were interested in the game but only if it was completed. Once they failed on completing the game, they later developed it for the Amiga 500 but now as a point-and-click adventure game. Rasputin Software agreed to publish the game and allowed a port for the Amiga 1200 and [[Amiga CD32]]. When there was no demand for those computers, it was eventually developed for Windows this time needing to learn how to use 3D development tools.
== Plot ==
Benjamin Briggs, captain of the [[wikipedia:Mary Celeste|Mary Celeste]] is stuck in Limbo after being missing from his ship. He ends up having to help Destiny win a war against Fate.
== Why It's Lost in Limbo ==
#[[Development hell|The game had been under development for 13 years]] (since 1994 to 2007). Due to this, most of various elements and gameplay mechanics were horribly aged at the release.
#There is huge amounts of plagiarism. From backgrounds, assets, FMVs, menus, and font. The developers did little to hide that they were stolen from different sources. Notable sources of theft include [[The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion]], [[Return To Castle Wolfenstein]], Enclave, [[Diablo II]], [[Painkiller]], [[World of Warcraft]], [[Thief: The Dark Project]], [[Beetlejuice]], and [[Spawn]].
#*There's a scene where Briggs plays the flute that makes the first few notes from the iconic Indiana Jones theme. They didn't just steal the song, they stole the notes from an easter egg in [[Serious Sam]]. '''That's right, the developers couldn't be bothered to make a simple tune themselves or even make their own version of the Indiana Jones theme!'''
#The cutscenes are reminiscent of the [[Link: The Faces of Evil and Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon|Zelda CD-i games]] in which the characters have ungodly animations, non-existent lip-syncing, and constantly zoom in and out. Briggs himself is easily the worst offender during cutscenes because he will stare blankly at nothing as if he's not alive and sometimes would awkwardly smile at the player.
#Other than the mystery of his disappearance, there's no reason why Benjamin Briggs is the main character. There's no mention of his family or his crew from the Mary Celeste. The protagonist could have been literally anyone and the story wouldn't change at all. In fact, Briggs looks more like DarksydePhil with blue eyes and less weight than what he looks like in real life.
#The DVD that came included with the game elaborates more on the plot than the game itself. It feels like it should've played at the very beginning of the game and not be on a separate disk! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIL_OWlNbyE|The footage also looks like it was edited by someone who used Windows Movie Maker for the first time]. And just like the game, there is also plagiarism in the form of videos which are from the CryEngine 2 demo and the Pirates of the Caribbean game released in 2003.
#The character models all look hideous, looking more like they were from a cutscene in an adventure game from 1997, rather than a game made in 2007!
#The screens are screenshots from plagiarized games, some of which are mentioned in W.I.S. #2. The developers didn't think of having the screens being connected, however; like, for example, if there is an open door shown from a screenshot from a different game, the game doesn't show that you can go through that door. It became a meme to put Benjamin Briggs in screenshots from different games and media because of this.<ref>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/features</ref>
#Some of the solutions to puzzles are practically impossible to solve unless you're using a guide.
#*One puzzle requires you to get ingredients for a sleeping potion that the cook Cranny F*ggot (yes, that's her name) can use to make one for you in order to get a guard to fall asleep (who's already sleeping prior to taking the potion) in order for you to steal the key around his neck. One of the ingredients is tequila. How do you get it? You mix water with a worm! How does that make any sense?!
#*You need to make a fake drink called the "soul of a warrior" that's a green liquid in order to take the real drink. You have to mix a bottle of water with a bag of saffron that magically makes the water turn green! Even if you follow the logic with the color of both items, the red saffron and blue water would make the liquid yellow, not green!
#Sometimes when the cutscene ends, you automatically leave the screen that you were in. This is a bad design because you end up missing important items that were on that screen. You end up wasting time to go back to the previous screen and get the item.
#The compass in the UI never stops spinning, which makes it pointless as to why it's there in the first place. It stops spinning when you move the cursor to where you can move to a different room, but it doesn't always work.
#There's a part where you have to find a secret entrance into a dungeon. It's not made obvious what the solution is. What you have to do is go to a specific spot in a bar and move the cursor until it changes and then you click at it. How in the world would anyone know that?! Even if you did know what to do, it's still a hassle because since this is a point and click game, every time you click you move to that spot.
#The game crashes frequently.
#Some items are too difficult to click on because you have to click on specific pixels on the item itself in order to interact or pick it up. Some items are too difficult to spot due to limited visibility. It doesn't help that some items that you would think are important and are easily found are items that you can't pick up.
#Terrible audio mixing.
#Frequent grammar errors in sentences. There is also more than one use of periods when a sentence ends, for some reason.
#Horrible voice acting that's all being done by one person.
#*The voice actor starts to have a coughing fit for a few seconds in the middle of the dialogue for one of the characters. The captions list the coughing, but the character himself is moving his lips as if he's speaking, indicating this wasn't meant to happen.
#*The main character, Benjamin Briggs, despite being an American in real-life history, sounds more like a person with a British accent in this game.
#There's no way to change the level of the volume in the game. That includes music, sound effects, and dialogue. If you change the volume in the audio mixer, the volume will be changed accordingly, but once you go to another room, the volume level goes back to where it was before.
#A very bizarre ending that [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URcvdDtnM_0|needs to be seen to be believed].
== Redeeming Qualities ==
#Voice acting can be so bad it's good.
#The main theme song is actually decent.
== Reception ==
The game has a negative reception from the few critics that played the game when it released and is considered as one of the worst games of all-time. It currently has a 2.15 on GameFAQs. Polish video game magazine CD-Action gave the game a -1 out of 10 for the first time in the magazine's history.
On June 12, Tri Synergy stopped shipping the game due to allegations of plagiarism. They claim that they had no idea that there was anything stolen in the game and Majestic Studios says that they didn't steal anything and claim that it was the doing of an unnamed outsourced company. Because of this, the game is very rare and can cost hundreds of dollars in secondhand markets. It was even discovered that the Amiga demo made in the 1990s also has plagiarized materials in it.
The ending hinted at a sequel with the title Limbo of the Lost II: Flight to Freedom, but obviously this wasn't going to be made because of its reception and the closure of Majestic Studios.
BartekGM hailed it as the worst game of all time due to mass plagiarism, giving it a -2/10 rating, and the game held that title until episode 100 when it was finally dethroned by CrazyBus. NRGeek also found it to be the worst game he's ever played, criticizing literally everything.
== Trivia ==
*One of the developers pretended to be a fan of the game with the username FABLE and discouraged people from using guides due to how "disrespectful" it would be to the developers for their hard work for creating the puzzles. Things got so bad that the same developer using the username MSTUDIOS on the forum backed himself up. The site owner noticed that both accounts have the same IP address, but MSTUDIOS said that FABLE is a play tester and Majestic Studios only has one computer for "safety reasons." The site owner didn't believe his lie and locked the thread.<ref>https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/233736/1</ref>
*The name Cranny F*ggot may be based on the late English TV chef Fanny Cradock and the traditional dish in the United Kingdom.
*Planning for the game began as early as 1990, when the company that produced the game, Majestic Studios, was founded.

& Chum Chum|Fanboy & Chum Chum]]''''' is an American CGI animated television series created by Eric Robles for Nickelodeon. It is based on ''Fanboy'', an animated short created by Robles for Nicktoons and Frederator Studios, which was broadcast from August 14, 2009, to October 17, 2012, on ''Random! Cartoons''. The series was first broadcast on October 12, 2009, on Nickelodeon as a preview, then officially premiered on November 6, 2009, after ''[[Truth or Square (SpongeBob SquarePants)|SpongeBob's Truth or Square]]'', and officially ended on July 12, 2014.
==Plot==
Fanboy and Chum Chum are fans of all things science fiction and fantasy and wear wild superhero costumes with their underwear on the outside. Their lives are filled with adventure, from Fanboy's teacher turning into a zombie to an ice monster operating the Frosty Freezy Freeze machine. Their pal Kyle usually tags along on their escapades. Kyle is a real wizard, but Fanboy and Chum Chum are oblivious to his mystical powers, although they live in a world of fantasy.
==Why It Gives You a Brain Freeze==
#The show can easily be seen as a rehash of ''SpongeBob SquarePants'', as Fanboy, Chum Chum, and Kyle are literal clones of SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward, respectively (though Kyle is likable).
#The art style, despite being original, Looney Tunes-esque, and also Veggietales-esque, has its problems:
#*The character designs are quite ugly and unnatural, thus, they also don't translate well in 3D. Notably, the eyes look like they're bulging out of the characters' skulls, the hands of some of the characters are too big, the ears make them look like monkeys, and some of their foreheads are too big (with Kyle and Sigmund being perfect examples), and the faces look uncanny and unnatural. Also, they look like characters rejected by ''[[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius]]'' at best.
#*The backgrounds are a bit of an eyesore, due to the colors being too bright and them looking weird.
#While the animation is very nice and fluid, especially for the time it came out, several animation errors can be noticed throughout several episodes. This can be noticeable in the first season.
#It can be inappropriate at times, like ''[[Breadwinners]]'' and ''[[Sanjay and Craig]]'':
#*It overuses [[Toilet/Gross-Out Humor|toilet/gross-out humor]], especially in the episodes "Pick a Nose" and "Fanboy Stinks". Examples:
#**Fanboy sneezing into his surgical mask when he is disguised as a nurse.
#**Chum Chum has a foot with a bad odor rubbed on his face, which disgusts Fanboy.
#**Kyle attempts to pull Fanboy's finger and Fanboy flatulates on him when he refuses.
#**Fanboy and Chum Chum hiding in a waste container.
#**Mr. Mufflin's feet with a bad odor.
#**Boog saying that he likes to defecate in his diaper.
#**Fanboy getting his head stuck in a toilet.
#**A bunch of girls being attracted to Fanboy's odor in "Fanboy Stinks".
#*The episode "Moppy Dearest" has '''objectophilia''' jokes in a '''kids'''' show, where Fanboy falls in love with a mop.
#The use of pop culture references, especially to '''R-rated movies''' (eg. ''A Clockwork Orange'' and ''The Shining''), is used in a bad way.
#*They even use references to cereal and other cartoons like ''Lucky Charms'', ''Marvel'' comics, and even ''Schoolhouse Rock'', which are all just weird.
#While there are some likable characters, there are a few unlikable, insufferable, or just plain loathsome characters:
#*The titular duo are immature jerks who, although not intentionally mean, annoy everyone around them, which doesn't help that their voices are a bit too overly squeaky.
#**On top of that, both of their names are downright laughable and nonsensical.
#*Yo, despite being interesting, is a young girl in Fanboy and Chum Chum's class, who obsesses over Chum Chum ''anytime she is seen onscreen''.
#*Mr. Mufflin, despite being likable, used to be quite boring in the first season of the show, as he was a typical "depressed teacher" type character.
#*Sigmund is also somewhat mean-spirited, but only towards Kyle, as he constantly fools him into believing he can get back into milkweed.
#**In his debut episode, he '''gave Fanboy and Chum Chum dynamite so they can explode'''. '''Yes, really'''.
#*Michael Johnson is an insult to the late Michael Jackson, and to add insult to injury, the show premiered four months after his death.
#*Otherwise, some of the good characters, such as Kyle, can have their fair portion of unlikable moments, with a good example being in "Separation Anxiety".
#Kyle's cliché of being treated like dirt is insulting, turning him into a butt-monkey, a character who gets hurt by everyone in the show for little to no (if not any) apparent reason at all.
#*Even Fanboy and Chum Chum are butt-monkeys in some episodes. In "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha", Miss Olive mistakes them as kindergarten students and forces them to attend the class for the whole day.
#Some characters use the same models but with slightly different appearances, different names, and classifications. For example, Lunch Lady Cram's twin sister, Bus Lady Cram, is her but as a bus driver. She has the same appearance as Lunch Lady Cram (the only difference is the hat), the same personality as Lunch Lady Cram (only much more hurtful, cruel, and sadistic), and even the same voice actress as Lunch Lady Cram, Candi Milo (only her voice is slightly deeper and has a much more evil laugh). In one episode, before her name was revealed, everyone in the show even called her Lunch Lady Cram because of this.
#The background music sounds distorted and broken.
#There is so much noise that never stops nor ends:
#*The voice acting mostly consists of screaming and squealing, even from actors such as David Hornsby (Rickety Cricket from ''It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia''), Nika Futterman (Luna Loud and Alexis from ''The Loud House'', Sticks The Badger from ''Sonic Boom'', and Stretch the Tape Measure and Squeeze the Pliers from ''Handy Manny''), Jamie Kennedy (''Son of The Mask'' and ''The Jamie Kennedy Experiment''), and Jeff Bennett (the eponymous character from ''Johnny Bravo'', Kowalski from ''Penguins of Madagascar'', the man with the yellow hat from ''Curious George'', Mick Swagger from ''The Loud House'', Raj and Samson from ''Camp Lazlo,'' Conrad Fleem and Shelton Klutzberry from ''The Replacements, Silvester from The Larry Doyle era of Looney Tunes, Kyle Katarn from Star Wars: Jedi Outcast and Academy'' and Dexter's father from ''Dexter's Laboratory''), Candi Milo (Nora Wakeman from My Life as a Teenage Robot, the eponymous character from Season 3 and 4 of Dexter's Laboratory, Janet from The Boondocks, Dona from Final Fantasy X series, the titular chracter from the Astro Boy game (2004) and Redback Thorn from Ty3: The Tasmanian Tiger: Night of the Quinkan).
#*The theme song, while admittedly catchy, is incredibly annoying, loud, and ear-piercing and the lyrics of the second half of the song consist of "bah bah bah"s. Brad Breeck, the composer of the theme song, also did the ''[[Gravity Falls]]'' title tune. The titular characters sound even worse than they do in the actual show, as they sing like an emo pop or pop punk band by whining.
#**Apart from the "bah bah bah"s, the song also consists of loud screaming throughout.
#*** There are painful yet insufferable sound effects.
#The majority of the show is painfully nonsensical and doesn't have any logical premise.
#Much like ''[[Breadwinners]]'', the pacing is insufferable.
#The title cards, despite looking cool, have a very weird choppy looking art style to them which can sometimes look pretty uncanny. A few are also misleading, such as the one in "Bubble Trouble", where it depicts Boog getting stuck in a soap bubble, despite it '''never actually happening''' throughout the episode.
==Qualities That Deserve Frosty Freezy Freezes==
#The show has some funny moments.
#This show has a good amount of likable characters such as:
#*Kyle
#*Lenny
#*Boog Shlizetti
#*Man-Arctica
#*Mr. Mufflin
#*Dollarnator
#*Agent Johnson
#*Lupe
#*The Oz
#*Yo
#Most of the title cards look kind of cool, despite the choppy-looking art style to them.
#Some of the character designs are passable such as Lenny, Boog, and Man-Arctica.
#*Speaking of the character designs, despite looking ugly in CGI, they kind of do look cartoony and Looney Tunes-esque.
#There are a handful of good/decent episodes here and there such as:
#*"Fanboy" (the pilot)
#*"Berry Sick"
#*"Night Morning"
#*"Fangboy" (Arguably the best episode of the series)
#*"Stan-Arctica"
#*"Put That Cookie Down!"
#*"GameBoy"
#*"HypnotOZed"
#*"Night Morning"
#*"Norse Code"
#*"Present Not Accounted For"
#*"Saving Private Chum Chum"
#*"Back from the Future"
#*"The Winners"
#*"No Toy Story" (which would have been a good way to start the second season, but disappointingly the producers decided to put "I'm Man-Arctica" as the first part of the second season premiere)
#*"[[Slime Day (Fanboy and Chum Chum)|Slime Day]]"
#*"Heroes vs. Villains"
#*"Super Chums"
#*"There Will Be Shrieks"
#*"A Very Brrr-y Icemas"
#*"[[Brain Freeze (Fanboy and Chum Chum)|Brain Freeze]]" (the series finale, which ended the show on a decent note)
#Season 2 is a slight improvement over season 1 since the main titular protagonists are somewhat more likable (mainly in the second half of the season), the animation receives a more polished look and has a few better episodes. However, these aren't saying a lot, as many flaws remain from Season 1.
#While the voice acting contains a lot of ear-piercing screaming, it can be quite tolerable when it isn't meant to be annoying or weird.
#The show's composer, Brad Breeck, released [https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6n8dpsxe9od9o5l/AAAQyHlH_XIMRRTjUojPKQd_a?dl=0 studio-quality stems] of the show's theme song after he was asked, showing that he appreciates his fans and is actively helping them make parodies of his music.
#The animation is quite redeemable, fluid, and colorful, especially because it came out in 2009; this can be noticeable in the second season.
#Despite the background music sounding distorted and broken, it can sound goofy, funny, enjoyable, and endearing at times.
==Notable bad episodes from the series==
#"[[Wizboy]]" (which started the series on a sour note)
#"[[The Janitor Strikes Back]]"
#"[[I, Fanbot|I Fanbot]]”
#"[[Fanboy Stinks]]"
#"[[Moppy Dearest]]"

#"[[Frosty Mart Dream Vacation]]"
#"[[Bubble Trouble]]"
#[["Marsha Marsha Marsha]]"
#"[[I'm Man-Arctica! (Fanboy & Chum Chum)|I'm Man-Arctica!]]" (arguably the worst episode of the show)

#"[[The Big Bopper]]"
== Reception ==
<nowiki>''Fanboy & Chum Chum'' was critically panned by the majority of critics and audiences alike. It was criticized for its annoying and unfunny humor and it's mostly lazy visuals. It is considered to be not only one of the worst Nickelodeon shows ever made, but also one of the worst cartoons of all time in general. It sits at a 3.4/10 on IMDb and a 4.9/10 on Rating Graph. The series is often considered the moment that Nickelodeon's decline began and they still haven'</nowiki>t recovered since then (as stated above). However, it seems to have gained a cult following as of now.
==Trivia==
*It was greenlit by Nickelodeon over ''[[Adventure Time]]'', which would air on Cartoon Network because one of the workers found it "too weird".
*It was one of the few Nicktoons to end on its terms on the main channel.
*After nearly three years of being adored, the show was moved to a 7:00 AM slot on weekdays in 2012 – right before the Nick Jr. block in the morning (which usually started at 8:00 or 9:00 AM). Reruns were practically non-existent, as the show would air only on Sundays at 7:00 AM from somewhere around early 2014 to early 2015 before it was banished permanently.
**The series finale ("Brain Freeze") was delayed for two years and was to air on July 12, 2014, but ended up airing a day later on the main Nickelodeon channel.
**On [[Nicktoons (2014-present)|Nicktoons]], the show could be found airing somewhat inconsistently between 4:30 AM and 6:00 AM, along with ''Random! Cartoons'' and ''TUFF Puppy''. These time slots remained until the show entirely ceased to air in March 2016, though it briefly came back to air on Christmas Day in a graveyard slot before being removed for good.
*In separation anxiety, the two main characters' names were revealed. fanboy's real name was Tobias and Chum Chum's real name was Sir Edmund.
*Over the years of its existence, it would later gain a fanbase and cult following, which is wackier than the show itself. The most common places for these fans to appear would be on platforms such as TikTok, Twitter/X, Tumblr, etc. It would also receive some projects from fans, such as fan art and OCs, costumes and cosplays, and memes.
*The entire series was added to Paramount+ on December 15, 2020.<ref>https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/fanboy-and-chum-chum/</ref>
*The creator, Eric Robles, would go on to be the co-creator of ''[[Glitch Techs]].

#**In his debut episode, he '''gave Fanboy and Chum Chum dynamite so they can explode'''. '''Yes, really'''.
#*Michael Johnson is an insult to the late Michael Jackson, and to add insult to injury, the show premiered four months after his death.
#*Otherwise, some of the good characters, such as Kyle, can have their fair portion of unlikable moments, with a good example being in "Separation Anxiety".
#Kyle's cliché of being treated like dirt is insulting, turning him into a butt-monkey, a character who gets hurt by everyone in the show for little to no (if not any) apparent reason at all.
#*Even Fanboy and Chum Chum are butt-monkeys in some episodes. In "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha", Miss Olive mistakes them as kindergarten students and forces them to attend the class for the whole day.
#Some characters use the same models but with slightly different appearances, different names, and classifications. For example, Lunch Lady Cram's twin sister, Bus Lady Cram, is her but as a bus driver. She has the same appearance as Lunch Lady Cram (the only difference is the hat), the same personality as Lunch Lady Cram (only much more hurtful, cruel, and sadistic), and even the same voice actress as Lunch Lady Cram, Candi Milo (only her voice is slightly deeper and has a much more evil laugh). In one episode, before her name was revealed, everyone in the show even called her Lunch Lady Cram because of this.
#The background music sounds distorted and broken.
#There is so much noise that never stops nor ends:
#*The voice acting mostly consists of screaming and squealing, even from actors such as David Hornsby (Rickety Cricket from ''It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia''), Nika Futterman (Luna Loud and Alexis from ''The Loud House'', Sticks The Badger from ''Sonic Boom'', and Stretch the Tape Measure and Squeeze the Pliers from ''Handy Manny''), Jamie Kennedy (''Son of The Mask'' and ''The Jamie Kennedy Experiment''), and Jeff Bennett (the eponymous character from ''Johnny Bravo'', Kowalski from ''Penguins of Madagascar'', the man with the yellow hat from ''Curious George'', Mick Swagger from ''The Loud House'', Raj and Samson from ''Camp Lazlo,'' Conrad Fleem and Shelton Klutzberry from ''The Replacements, Silvester from The Larry Doyle era of Looney Tunes, Kyle Katarn from Star Wars: Jedi Outcast and Academy'' and Dexter's father from ''Dexter's Laboratory''), Candi Milo (Nora Wakeman from My Life as a Teenage Robot, the eponymous character from Season 3 and 4 of Dexter's Laboratory, Janet from The Boondocks, Dona from Final Fantasy X series, the titular chracter from the Astro Boy game (2004) and Redback Thorn from Ty3: The Tasmanian Tiger: Night of the Quinkan).
#*The theme song, while admittedly catchy, is incredibly annoying, loud, and ear-piercing and the lyrics of the second half of the song consist of "bah bah bah"s. Brad Breeck, the composer of the theme song, also did the ''[[Gravity Falls]]'' title tune. The titular characters sound even worse than they do in the actual show, as they sing like an emo pop or pop punk band by whining.
#**Apart from the "bah bah bah"s, the song also consists of loud screaming throughout.
#*** There are painful yet insufferable sound effects.
#The majority of the show is painfully nonsensical and doesn't have any logical premise.
#Much like ''[[Breadwinners]]'', the pacing is insufferable.
#The title cards, despite looking cool, have a very weird choppy looking art style to them which can sometimes look pretty uncanny. A few are also misleading, such as the one in "Bubble Trouble", where it depicts Boog getting stuck in a soap bubble, despite it '''never actually happening''' throughout the episode.
==Qualities That Deserve Frosty Freezy Freezes==
#The show has some funny moments.
#This show has a good amount of likable characters such as:
#*Kyle
#*Lenny
#*Boog Shlizetti
#*Man-Arctica
#*Mr. Mufflin
#*Dollarnator
#*Agent Johnson
#*Lupe
#*The Oz
#*Yo
#Most of the title cards look kind of cool, despite the choppy-looking art style to them.
#Some of the character designs are passable such as Lenny, Boog, and Man-Arctica.
#*Speaking of the character designs, despite looking ugly in CGI, they kind of do look cartoony and Looney Tunes-esque.
#There are a handful of good/decent episodes here and there such as:
#*"Fanboy" (the pilot)
#*"Berry Sick"
#*"Night Morning"
#*"Fangboy" (Arguably the best episode of the series)
#*"Stan-Arctica"
#*"Put That Cookie Down!"
#*"GameBoy"
#*"HypnotOZed"
#*"Night Morning"
#*"Norse Code"
#*"Present Not Accounted For"
#*"Saving Private Chum Chum"
#*"Back from the Future"
#*"The Winners"
#*"No Toy Story" (which would have been a good way to start the second season, but disappointingly the producers decided to put "I'm Man-Arctica" as the first part of the second season premiere)
#*"[[Slime Day (Fanboy and Chum Chum)|Slime Day]]"
#*"Heroes vs. Villains"
#*"Super Chums"
#*"There Will Be Shrieks"
#*"A Very Brrr-y Icemas"
#*"[[Brain Freeze (Fanboy and Chum Chum)|Brain Freeze]]" (the series finale, which ended the show on a decent note)
#Season 2 is a slight improvement over season 1 since the main titular protagonists are somewhat more likable (mainly in the second half of the season), the animation receives a more polished look and has a few better episodes. However, these aren't saying a lot, as many flaws remain from Season 1.
#While the voice acting contains a lot of ear-piercing screaming, it can be quite tolerable when it isn't meant to be annoying or weird.
#The show's composer, Brad Breeck, released [https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6n8dpsxe9od9o5l/AAAQyHlH_XIMRRTjUojPKQd_a?dl=0 studio-quality stems] of the show's theme song after he was asked, showing that he appreciates his fans and is actively helping them make parodies of his music.
#The animation is quite redeemable, fluid, and colorful, especially because it came out in 2009; this can be noticeable in the second season.
#Despite the background music sounding distorted and broken, it can sound goofy, funny, enjoyable, and endearing at times.

== Reception ==
<nowiki>''Fanboy & Chum Chum'' was critically panned by the majority of critics and audiences alike. It was criticized for its annoying and unfunny humor and it's mostly lazy visuals. It is considered to be not only one of the worst Nickelodeon shows ever made, but also one of the worst cartoons of all time in general. It sits at a 3.4/10 on IMDb and a 4.9/10 on Rating Graph. The series is often considered the moment that Nickelodeon's decline began and they still haven'</nowiki>t recovered since then (as stated above). However, it seems to have gained a cult following as of now.
==Trivia==
*It was greenlit by Nickelodeon over ''[[Adventure Time]]'', which would air on Cartoon Network because one of the workers found it "too weird".
*It was one of the few Nicktoons to end on its terms on the main channel.
*After nearly three years of being adored, the show was moved to a 7:00 AM slot on weekdays in 2012 – right before the Nick Jr. block in the morning (which usually started at 8:00 or 9:00 AM). Reruns were practically non-existent, as the show would air only on Sundays at 7:00 AM from somewhere around early 2014 to early 2015 before it was banished permanently.
**The series finale ("Brain Freeze") was delayed for two years and was to air on July 12, 2014, but ended up airing a day later on the main Nickelodeon channel.
**On [[Nicktoons (2014-present)|Nicktoons]], the show could be found airing somewhat inconsistently between 4:30 AM and 6:00 AM, along with ''Random! Cartoons'' and ''TUFF Puppy''. These time slots remained until the show entirely ceased to air in March 2016, though it briefly came back to air on Christmas Day in a graveyard slot before being removed for good.
*In separation anxiety, the two main characters' names were revealed. fanboy's real name was Tobias and Chum Chum's real name was Sir Edmund.
*Over the years of its existence, it would later gain a fanbase and cult following, which is wackier than the show itself. The most common places for these fans to appear would be on platforms such as TikTok, Twitter/X, Tumblr, etc. It would also receive some projects from fans, such as fan art and OCs, costumes and cosplays, and memes.
*The entire series was added to Paramount+ on December 15, 2020.<ref>https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/fanboy-and-chum-chum/</ref>
*The creator, Eric Robles, would go on to be the co-creator of ''[[Glitch Techs]].

'''''[[:w:Fanboy & Chum Chum|Fanboy & Chum Chum]]''''' is an American CGI animated television series created by Eric Robles for Nickelodeon. It is based on ''Fanboy'', an animated short created by Robles for Nicktoons and Frederator Studios, which was broadcast from August 14, 2009, to October 17, 2012, on ''Random! Cartoons''. The series was first broadcast on October 12, 2009, on Nickelodeon as a preview, then officially premiered on November 6, 2009, after ''[[Truth or Square (SpongeBob SquarePants)|SpongeBob's Truth or Square]]'', and officially ended on July 12, 2014.
==Plot==
Fanboy and Chum Chum are fans of all things science fiction and fantasy and wear wild superhero costumes with their underwear on the outside. Their lives are filled with adventure, from Fanboy's teacher turning into a zombie to an ice monster operating the Frosty Freezy Freeze machine. Their pal Kyle usually tags along on their escapades. Kyle is a real wizard, but Fanboy and Chum Chum are oblivious to his mystical powers, although they live in a world of fantasy.
==Why It Gives You a Brain Freeze==
#The show can easily be seen as a rehash of ''SpongeBob SquarePants'', as Fanboy, Chum Chum, and Kyle are literal clones of SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward, respectively (though Kyle is likable).
#The art style, despite being original, Looney Tunes-esque, and also Veggietales-esque, has its problems:
#*The character designs are quite ugly and unnatural, thus, they also don't translate well in 3D. Notably, the eyes look like they're bulging out of the characters' skulls, the hands of some of the characters are too big, the ears make them look like monkeys, and some of their foreheads are too big (with Kyle and Sigmund being perfect examples), and the faces look uncanny and unnatural. Also, they look like characters rejected by ''[[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius]]'' at best.
#*The backgrounds are a bit of an eyesore, due to the colors being too bright and them looking weird.
#While the animation is very nice and fluid, especially for the time it came out, several animation errors can be noticed throughout several episodes. This can be noticeable in the first season.
#It can be inappropriate at times, like ''[[Breadwinners]]'' and ''[[Sanjay and Craig]]'':
#*It overuses [[Toilet/Gross-Out Humor|toilet/gross-out humor]], especially in the episodes "Pick a Nose" and "Fanboy Stinks". Examples:
#**Fanboy sneezing into his surgical mask when he is disguised as a nurse.
#**Chum Chum has a foot with a bad odor rubbed on his face, which disgusts Fanboy.
#**Kyle attempts to pull Fanboy's finger and Fanboy flatulates on him when he refuses.
#**Fanboy and Chum Chum hiding in a waste container.
#**Mr. Mufflin's feet with a bad odor.
#**Boog saying that he likes to defecate in his diaper.
#**Fanboy getting his head stuck in a toilet.
#**A bunch of girls being attracted to Fanboy's odor in "Fanboy Stinks".
#*The episode "Moppy Dearest" has '''objectophilia''' jokes in a '''kids'''' show, where Fanboy falls in love with a mop.
#The use of pop culture references, especially to '''R-rated movies''' (eg. ''A Clockwork Orange'' and ''The Shining''), is used in a bad way.
#*They even use references to cereal and other cartoons like ''Lucky Charms'', ''Marvel'' comics, and even ''Schoolhouse Rock'', which are all just weird.
#While there are some likable characters, there are a few unlikable, insufferable, or just plain loathsome characters:
#*The titular duo are immature jerks who, although not intentionally mean, annoy everyone around them, which doesn't help that their voices are a bit too overly squeaky.
#**On top of that, both of their names are downright laughable and nonsensical.
#*Yo, despite being interesting, is a young girl in Fanboy and Chum Chum's class, who obsesses over Chum Chum ''anytime she is seen onscreen''.
#*Mr. Mufflin, despite being likable, used to be quite boring in the first season of the show, as he was a typical "depressed teacher" type character.
#*Sigmund is also somewhat mean-spirited, but only towards Kyle, as he constantly fools him into believing he can get back into milkweed.
#**In his debut episode, he '''gave Fanboy and Chum Chum dynamite so they can explode'''. '''Yes, really'''.
#*Michael Johnson is an insult to the late Michael Jackson, and to add insult to injury, the show premiered four months after his death.
#*Otherwise, some of the good characters, such as Kyle, can have their fair portion of unlikable moments, with a good example being in "Separation Anxiety".
#Kyle's cliché of being treated like dirt is insulting, turning him into a butt-monkey, a character who gets hurt by everyone in the show for little to no (if not any) apparent reason at all.
#*Even Fanboy and Chum Chum are butt-monkeys in some episodes. In "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha", Miss Olive mistakes them as kindergarten students and forces them to attend the class for the whole day.
#Some characters use the same models but with slightly different appearances, different names, and classifications. For example, Lunch Lady Cram's twin sister, Bus Lady Cram, is her but as a bus driver. She has the same appearance as Lunch Lady Cram (the only difference is the hat), the same personality as Lunch Lady Cram (only much more hurtful, cruel, and sadistic), and even the same voice actress as Lunch Lady Cram, Candi Milo (only her voice is slightly deeper and has a much more evil laugh). In one episode, before her name was revealed, everyone in the show even called her Lunch Lady Cram because of this.
#The background music sounds distorted and broken.
#There is so much noise that never stops nor ends:
#*The voice acting mostly consists of screaming and squealing, even from actors such as David Hornsby (Rickety Cricket from ''It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia''), Nika Futterman (Luna Loud and Alexis from ''The Loud House'', Sticks The Badger from ''Sonic Boom'', and Stretch the Tape Measure and Squeeze the Pliers from ''Handy Manny''), Jamie Kennedy (''Son of The Mask'' and ''The Jamie Kennedy Experiment''), and Jeff Bennett (the eponymous character from ''Johnny Bravo'', Kowalski from ''Penguins of Madagascar'', the man with the yellow hat from ''Curious George'', Mick Swagger from ''The Loud House'', Raj and Samson from ''Camp Lazlo,'' Conrad Fleem and Shelton Klutzberry from ''The Replacements, Silvester from The Larry Doyle era of Looney Tunes, Kyle Katarn from Star Wars: Jedi Outcast and Academy'' and Dexter's father from ''Dexter's Laboratory''), Candi Milo (Nora Wakeman from My Life as a Teenage Robot, the eponymous character from Season 3 and 4 of Dexter's Laboratory, Janet from The Boondocks, Dona from Final Fantasy X series, the titular chracter from the Astro Boy game (2004) and Redback Thorn from Ty3: The Tasmanian Tiger: Night of the Quinkan).
#*The theme song, while admittedly catchy, is incredibly annoying, loud, and ear-piercing and the lyrics of the second half of the song consist of "bah bah bah"s. Brad Breeck, the composer of the theme song, also did the ''[[Gravity Falls]]'' title tune. The titular characters sound even worse than they do in the actual show, as they sing like an emo pop or pop punk band by whining.
#**Apart from the "bah bah bah"s, the song also consists of loud screaming throughout.
#*** There are painful yet insufferable sound effects.

<center><big><font style="color:yellow">HERE ARE THE RULES!!!</font></big></center>
== Main Rules ==
# The Vandalism isn't allowed here, anyone who does that will be immediately banned.
# Please be respectful towards innocent people, any insulting/threading or falsely accuing them will result a block depending on the weight of that action.
# The spam (constantly sending the same message to the same place) isn't allowed here & will result the same as vandalism.
# NSFW is completely forbidden here, the wiki is also for people who are under 18 even if the owner isn't under that age.
# Only english is allowed on main pages, the exceptions are the user talk pages, comments on user pages and subpages (like blogs).
# Don't ask to block/demote someone for no reason given, if you're not contributing here positively, for the first time you can expect a 3 months block, for the second time a pernament ban.
# Don't commit any crimes like discrimination, doxxing or pedophilia/zoophilia, you'll be immediately banned and reported to the SkyWiki staff if you do that.
#Positive articles about users are allowed here, as they cause little to no drama, but negative articles about users are not allowed on the main pages, as wikis like that (you guessed it) have caused a lot of drama like Unfavorable Wikis and Users Wiki and Toxic Fandoms and Hatedoms wiki. However, negative pages on blogs are allowed.
=== Pages ===
# This wiki, unlike other wikis like that, doesn't focus mostly on media receptions, it is just for fun and users rather should write the pages like they want.
# The page should have at least few pointers and are understandable and at least few categories.
# No NSFW, offensive nor vulgar content here, the page like that will be immediately moved to the sandbox or in worse case deleted and even might result a block/ban.
=== The Admins ===
# Do not delete the pages just because they're "poorly-written" or "unfinished", if you have a problem with them, just move them to the user's sandbox.
#* The user sandboxes and blogs should be deleted only when they have a offensive or NSFW content.
# If user contributes here positively, don't block him indefinitely for trivial reasons, if you need that, just give to him a warning and as many temporary blocks as it is required unless he did something really serious.
== Punishments ==
If you break one of these rules (if the action is not serious enough for pernament ban):
#Warning
#1 week block
#2 weeks block
#1 month block
#3 months block
#6 months block
#1 year block
#Pernament ban

'''''Taxi Racer''''' is a racing game published by BestBuys Interactive and the first game to be developed by [[Stellar Stone]]. It was released for Microsoft Windows in Europe on October 22, 2001.
== Gameplay ==
The gameplay is simple, you pick up a passenger and then drive them to their destination and basically do the same thing over and over again like in Crazy Taxi.
== Why It Sucks ==
# The controls are bad and stiff because they can be unresponsive at times, and they react with a delay, which can make the game frustrating after all.
# The car handling is absolutely terrible because the vehicle is oversteering and almost every time you try to turn, it immediately turns sideways, which makes the chances of avoiding a collision almost negligible, so you will often hit the wall when turning.
# Broken physics: your car can accelerate to ridiculously high speeds if you keep going forward and pressing the brake will make the car come to a dead stop, regardless of factors like speed, weight or acceleration.
# [[Game glitches|Glitched]] collision detection; you can be 10 feet away from a light post and still knock it down. This causes constant ramming noises to be played as you constantly hit light posts, and sometimes hitting buildings will mess the taxi up and give you a black screen, making the game crash. This already gives the impression that the game was made in a very big hurry and without testing and caring about how much you can play the game at all.
# Because of the way the game handles movements, holding down the key to accelerate while the cab is staying still and cannot move (for example, when loading passengers), will cause it to rocket through the air and warp to a completely different place from where the player originally stopped. While this can be useful to save time, it's far more common to accidentally collide with and glitch inside buildings, with no way to keep playing besides restarting the game. This, together with the terrible controls, driving and broken collision detection, can make you really frustrated with how poorly programmed the game is.
# The city is poorly designed. In fact, the city looks like a rejected London/Paris mixture literally as if the developers couldn't decide if they wanted the game to be set in London or Paris.
# Most of the textures are photos that were cut and pasted onto the models which only worsens the graphics and at the same time shows the laziness of the developers and the fact that they did not even want to create their own textures, they took them from other people.
# The sound effects are poor, for example:
#* The braking noise doesn't change depending on your speed.
#* Every single item you can knock down makes the same metallic noise, even items you wouldn't expect like trees or bushes.
# Outdated and awful graphics for 2001 standards and looks like a early PSX or N64 game. The textures are incredibly low resolution and look like they were from 1996 and the models are also extremely angular and also look like they were made 5 before the game was released.
# The time trial mode is near-impossible due to the awful driving model which gives the impression that the developers did not even want to test this game and did it in such a way as to release it as soon as possible.
# The game feels and plays like a pre-alpha version of ''Grand Theft Auto III'' or a rejected ''Midtown Madness 2'' prototype. In fact, GTA 3 and Taxi Racer were released on the same day, and both games is better than this!
# There are no NPC (non-player character) vehicles besides two other vans that occasionally pass by you. Not to mention, they have no collision detection, so when you came across them, you'll just pass through each other. This is another great example of how lazy developers were because they didn't want to add such a simple thing.
# London cab textures are ripped from ''Midtown Madness 2'' which was released one year before this game. Needless to mention, the London cab looks '''worse'''. This can already be considered a violation of Microsoft's copyright, but not only that, it also shows that the developers were already so lazy that they did not want to create their own textures.
# '''False advertisement:''' As you see in the cover, there is a yellow 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air and an Austin/Carbodies FX4. However Chevrolet is absent from the game in both playable and unplayable forms.
== Reception ==
The game was reviewed by Stanburdman, who stated that the only reason he didn't call this the worst game he ever played was because it wasn't the ugliest in terms of graphics. DXFan619's list of the 20 worst games ever has ''Taxi Racer'' at #18.
== Download ==
Don't bother about piracy. This is a broken scam that should have been canceled instead of sold. A fan website provides the download [https://www.yourewinner.com/index.php?topic=3298.0 here].

}}'''''[[w:The Simpsons Skateboarding|The Simpsons Skateboarding]]''''' is a 2002 skateboarding video game developed by [[The Code Monkeys]], published by Electronic Arts, and distributed by Fox Interactive. It was released for the PlayStation 2 in North America in November 2002, and a month later in Europe. The game received a very negative reception and is considered one of the worst skateboarding games of all time.
== Gameplay ==
Springfield has been converted into a skate park for the annual skate tour, full of skateable objects and landmarks from the television series. Players can choose one of the nine characters available to compete for the grand prize. All of the characters' voices were recorded by the actual voice actors from ''The Simpsons''. Each character has over forty unique moves. Players can test their skills in either a two-player head-to-head skate off, or in one of the fast and furious modes: Freeskate, Skate Fest, Trick Contest, and a game of skateboard H-O-R-S-E, unlocking additional characters, locations, and skateboards. Players can also choose to learn all the skateboard moves and tricks before they begin the actual game in the Skillz School mode.
== Why It Should Be Sent to a Special Class ==
# Extremely weak plot. The prize for winning the skateboarding contest is $99 (which would be $175.57 adjusted for inflation), which is a small amount of money.

In other words, completing all of the challenges as Homer is '''entirely impossible'''.
# Grinding is far too easy, as the balance meter will stay at the dead center, as long as you don't move to the left or right, while you're actually on the rail, which shows more of the laziness of the developers, and the fact that they did not care how the balance of the game works at all.
# The ollie height is very inconsistent, making even simple flat land tricks hard to pull off which can lead to many cheap failures, and you will be frustrated many times before you finally succeed.
# Lengthy load times that almost veer into ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)|Sonic '06]]'' levels of long.
# Many unoriginal and idiotic goals, like getting Ralph's golf ball out of the water.
# Many bugs and glitches such as passing through rails. As a result, one can get the impression that the developers did not want to test this game and wanted to release the game as soon as possible.
# There are no diagonal direction tricks. This is because the developers did not want to add such an important thing and decided that no one would be offended by it.
# Kent Brockman '''''never''''' stops talking. For example, he constantly says the name of every trick you do. Some of his other lines are unfunny, such as "Somebody get a really big band-aid!".
# The main menu theme is just an ear-grating remix of the show's theme song. The rest of the game's music doesn't fare much better, either.
# Very poor graphics for 2002 standards that are comparable to an early Sega Dreamcast game. Even ''Jet Set Radio'' and ''[[Sonic Adventure]]'', which were on the Sega Dreamcast, looked better than this game. To an extent, ''Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3'' came out a year before, and ''Pro Skater 4'' in the same year, and they look miles better.
#*It's even more insulting as the game runs on the RenderWare engine, and there are lots of games that look better on that engine, including the PS2 era of Tony Hawk games.
#* Not to mention that it looks worse than ''Road Rage'', which while they didn't age well, at least they managed to look decent for the time and it was the first time they made ''The Simpsons'' in 3D, here however the characters look terrible for 2002 standards.
#* The character models are also awful, and look like a PlayStation 1 or Nintendo 64 game, the worst offender might be Homer, who looks like he is made of plastic, same with the other characters, they are so poorly made that even ''Road Rage'' had better characters models than this for the cutscenes, which looked a bit uncanny but not as bad as this game.
# Poor lip-syncing.
# Recycled voice clips from ''The Simpsons: Road Rage''.
# As said in WISBSTASC#11, you can fall off when doing tricks off a ramp.
== Redeeming Qualities ==
# The voice acting is good, backed up by the actual ''Simpsons'' cast.
# You can turn Kent Brockman's voice off.
# You can upgrade your character's stats from the Pause menu, something that even ''Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2'' and 4 didn't allow you to do.
== Reception ==
The game received a very negative reception at the time of its release and has an average score of 38 out of 100 on Metacritic. Critics criticized outdated graphics, hopeless audio, lack of any tricks, poorly programmed controls, and strange errors accompanying the recorded dialogues. IGN gave the game a 2.5/10 and Gamespot gave the game a 3.9/10, none of the critics gave the game higher than 5/10.
Due to such bad reviews, many people have considered it one of the worst, if not the worst, skateboarding games one of the worst PlayStation 2 games, and even one of the worst games of all time.
WatchMojo ranked this game the 2nd WORST in the Top 10 BEST & WORST Simpsons games.

}}'''''[[w:The Simpsons Skateboarding|The Simpsons Skateboarding]]''''' is a 2002 skateboarding video game developed by [[The Code Monkeys]], published by Electronic Arts, and distributed by Fox Interactive. It was released for the PlayStation 2 in North America in November 2002, and a month later in Europe. The game received a very negative reception and is considered one of the worst skateboarding games of all time.
== Gameplay ==
Springfield has been converted into a skate park for the annual skate tour, full of skateable objects and landmarks from the television series. Players can choose one of the nine characters available to compete for the grand prize. All of the characters' voices were recorded by the actual voice actors from ''The Simpsons''. Each character has over forty unique moves. Players can test their skills in either a two-player head-to-head skate off, or in one of the fast and furious modes: Freeskate, Skate Fest, Trick Contest, and a game of skateboard H-O-R-S-E, unlocking additional characters, locations, and skateboards. Players can also choose to learn all the skateboard moves and tricks before they begin the actual game in the Skillz School mode.
== Why It Should Be Sent to a Special Class ==
# Extremely weak plot. The prize for winning the skateboarding contest is $99 (which would be $175.57 adjusted for inflation), which is a small amount of money. Even the easiest objectives in ''THPS2 and THPS4'' pay more than this which is incredibly embarrassing and lacks inventiveness for the plot and seems to be written rather on the knee.
# Whenever you pick a character, you have to wait for that character to finish talking to show his or her stats, which gives the impression that the menu was not even tested, since the developers could not even do such a simple thing.

'''''FlatOut 3: Chaos & Destruction''''' is a racing game developed by [[Team6 Game Studios]] and published by Strategy First for Microsoft Windows. It is the fourth main installment in the ''FlatOut'' series and was the first to not be developed by series creator Bugbear Entertainment (who was busy developing ''Ridge Racer: Unbounded'' for Namco at the time). The game was bombarded with negative reviews from every possible angle and was even named the worst game of 2011 and even one of the worst games of all time.
== Gameplay ==
The game has as many as 9 modes where you can drive monster trucks, race normally, jump out of cars through windows, measure speed, race off the road, race at night or smash other opponents' cars.
== Why It FlatOut Sucks ==
# The physics in this game are completely broken. Hitting an opponent's car at full speed hardly does any damage to it yet slight taps and grinds can sometimes do 40% damage to ''your'' car when it obviously should be the full speed collision that does the most damage. All in all, you can think that the game was created somewhere in a month because of this physics because the developers did not fully refine the game.
# The cars react very strangely to collisions. You can slightly tap a wall and your car will spontaneously combust upon impact, but 120 mph smashes will go unnoticed which can make the gameplay incredibly frustrating especially because of the AI which will be mentioned below and shows that the developers obviously had to rush it to make it on time.
# Every car feels extremely similar to one another and any differences between them are superficial at best as if the developers lacked creativity to construct some interesting and different vehicles, they just created the same one and then copied and pasted it with only minor cosmetic changes.
# Controls somehow feel stiff ''and'' slippery at the same time, which can lead to you crashing into things and this is why it happens, especially if we add the above-mentioned broken physics and exaggerated bouncing of cars from other objects, and this will give an absolute nightmare during the game and you can't get any pleasure from it.
# The cars' handling are very poor as they often feel weightless but barely turn at any speed above 30 mph, requiring you to drift to negate this, which itself doesn't always have you pointing in the right direction. This can already give the impression that the game has not been tested at all, which is a worthy example of this broken control and lack of balance in it.
# Every car has terrible handling in this game. If you choose the highest stars handling for your car, it will still suffer from understeer just like the trucks in ''[[Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing]]''. This means that the handling's rating stars are a lie and it also clearly shows the laziness of the developers accompanying them while creating this game and that they didn't care at all how these cars work.
# '''Bad opponent AI''': Opponents are more focused on crashing into each other and you than racing, which makes most races a breeze if you manage to work around the controls and car handling, to put it simply, the developers did not want to test races or program the AI better so that it actually wanted to win, rather than wallowing on the route and pathetically hitting other rivals.
# Almost every mode in the game is a slightly modified version of racing or demolition (despite the only difference being car count, Derby and Big Battle are two separate modes), so you can say that in this game there is literally three only the developers changed the names to hide their laziness as much as possible.
# The tracks are bland and lifeless with no alternate routes or variation but simply these are areas made at the lowest possible cost to simply release this game faster, and sometimes even cosmetically change the route and copy it.
# The car and character designs are laughable and do not look ''anything'' like the previous ''FlatOut'' games (unsurprisingly, due to a change in developer) which is why it's hard to call it an installment of this series because of the complete lack of any reference to the previous parts of this series.
# Once you unlock the armoured tank, it is '''ridiculously easy''' to cheese a lot of races as its cannon turret can insta-kill any car in a large splash radius. Additionally, since the turret is not disabled during the countdown to the start of the race, you can kill everyone before leaving the finish line and easily win first place! At this point, the gameplay loses any sense because instead of racing, it's just getting from place to place without any challenge.
# For some reason, a lot of vehicles not made for most race modes can be used in other race modes, making them look out of place while also allowing you to unfairly win races. For example, you can use a knock-off of the Batmobile from ''[[The Dark Knight]]'' in Speed instead of F1 cars.
#* Similarly, the AI racers can also use out-of-place vehicles too but due to their dumb AI being only programmed to race in regular cars, they'll end up getting permanently stuck behind indestructible environment like lamp posts or stop short of the finishing line instead.
# The graphics are terrible for 2011 standards and are comparable to early PlayStation 2 or Xbox games (in fact, ''[[Burnout 3: Takedown]]'', '''a game from 2004''', has better damage modeling and textures than this) and after all, this is a game from the end of December 2011, so the game could look a lot better.
# The sound effects sound lackluster, especially the crashing sound effects and sometimes they don't even sound like they should, the developers just didn't even want to listen to them, they simply put the first random sound in the world.
# The soundtrack is forgettable and repetitive. It does not even have licensed songs, rips out music from your PC's music folder without your knowledge and even plays ambient sound effects at times. This caught racing YouTuber Shinyodd off-guard when [https://youtu.be/ZXv2nyMLFqw?t=180 his copy of the game suddenly plays the] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uAZdIJIl8o Arabic Nokia ringtone]. Developers probably didn't even have enough budget to license the soundtrack and instead decided to create their own although it's a good thing that they wanted to create something their own way because at least it shows that they put more effort into the game.
# The game manages to make the fun modes of past ''FlatOut'' games, Stuntman and Derby, incredibly dull and lifeless. The developers apparently didn't even play the previous installments of this series and decided to just create it their way thinking that their version will be better when it apparently isn't.
# The game was made at a '''bad''' time, where Bugbear Entertainment was busy with ''Ridge Racer Unbounded'', so Team6 Game Studios worked on this game.
# This game '''likes''' to crash a lot. You can crash while trying to skip music, you can crash while choosing a game mode, you can crash while spectating other drivers, you can even crash when trying to load anything. This game is basically one giant error. The developers didn't seem to care, and either they didn't want to fix it, or worse, they didn't even want to test how the game worked.
# Statistics are not being tracked properly. Even the erroneous values for cars destroyed and races played are being interpreted as ''floating-point values'' instead of integers! All in all, this is another proof that the creators didn't care how the game works at all and did not evaluate the gameplay, which is the most important part of the game.
# Some characters are just blatant copyright infringements, like Zin Benzin (who is just actor Vin Diesel as he appears in the ''Riddick'' franchise with his surname being German for gasoline), Zario (a mix of Mario and disgraced former porn actor Ron Jeremy), Ufer Bull (a mix of Agent 47 from the ''Hitman'' franchise and infamous film director Uwe Boll), and Thirtyfour Rupias (a poor man's 50 Cent as ₹34 = US45¢). Some of their backstories don't even make sense, like X-mas2011 (who would name their daughter like that!?) and Silen Einnor, the last one not only never appeared in previous games (technically he does according to Rerez, but only his model as the default human male), but his name is a reverse of Team6 Game Studios founder Ronnie Nelis.
# This game nearly killed the ''FlatOut'' franchise, until 2017's ''FlatOut 4: Total Insanity''.
== The Only Redeeming Quality ==
# At least the menu is decent, unlike the rest of the game.
== Reception ==
''FlatOut 3'' is currently the second worst rated game of all time on Steam, behind ''War of the Three Kingdoms'' and also the worst game of 2011 and even one of the worst games of all-time. Likewise, it also holds a Metacritic score of 23 out of 100, with only two reviews scoring the game at a score above 4 out of 10 (Gaming Nexus and [[GameSpot]]).

You can slightly tap a wall and your car will spontaneously combust upon impact, but 120 mph smashes will go unnoticed which can make the gameplay incredibly frustrating especially because of the AI which will be mentioned below and shows that the developers obviously had to rush it to make it on time.
# Every car feels extremely similar to one another and any differences between them are superficial at best as if the developers lacked creativity to construct some interesting and different vehicles, they just created the same one and then copied and pasted it with only minor cosmetic changes.
# Controls somehow feel stiff ''and'' slippery at the same time, which can lead to you crashing into things and this is why it happens, especially if we add the above-mentioned broken physics and exaggerated bouncing of cars from other objects, and this will give an absolute nightmare during the game and you can't get any pleasure from it.
# The cars' handling are very poor as they often feel weightless but barely turn at any speed above 30 mph, requiring you to drift to negate this, which itself doesn't always have you pointing in the right direction. This can already give the impression that the game has not been tested at all, which is a worthy example of this broken control and lack of balance in it.
# Every car has terrible handling in this game. If you choose the highest stars handling for your car, it will still suffer from understeer just like the trucks in ''[[Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing]]''. This means that the handling's rating stars are a lie and it also clearly shows the laziness of the developers accompanying them while creating this game and that they didn't care at all how these cars work.
# '''Bad opponent AI''': Opponents are more focused on crashing into each other and you than racing, which makes most races a breeze if you manage to work around the controls and car handling, to put it simply, the developers did not want to test races or program the AI better so that it actually wanted to win, rather than wallowing on the route and pathetically hitting other rivals.
# Almost every mode in the game is a slightly modified version of racing or demolition (despite the only difference being car count, Derby and Big Battle are two separate modes), so you can say that in this game there is literally three only the developers changed the names to hide their laziness as much as possible.
# The tracks are bland and lifeless with no alternate routes or variation but simply these are areas made at the lowest possible cost to simply release this game faster, and sometimes even cosmetically change the route and copy it.
# The car and character designs are laughable and do not look ''anything'' like the previous ''FlatOut'' games (unsurprisingly, due to a change in developer) which is why it's hard to call it an installment of this series because of the complete lack of any reference to the previous parts of this series.
# Once you unlock the armoured tank, it is '''ridiculously easy''' to cheese a lot of races as its cannon turret can insta-kill any car in a large splash radius. Additionally, since the turret is not disabled during the countdown to the start of the race, you can kill everyone before leaving the finish line and easily win first place! At this point, the gameplay loses any sense because instead of racing, it's just getting from place to place without any challenge.
# For some reason, a lot of vehicles not made for most race modes can be used in other race modes, making them look out of place while also allowing you to unfairly win races. For example, you can use a knock-off of the Batmobile from ''[[The Dark Knight]]'' in Speed instead of F1 cars.
#* Similarly, the AI racers can also use out-of-place vehicles too but due to their dumb AI being only programmed to race in regular cars, they'll end up getting permanently stuck behind indestructible environment like lamp posts or stop short of the finishing line instead.
# The graphics are terrible for 2011 standards and are comparable to early PlayStation 2 or Xbox games (in fact, ''[[Burnout 3: Takedown]]'', '''a game from 2004''', has better damage modeling and textures than this) and after all, this is a game from the end of December 2011, so the game could look a lot better.
# The sound effects sound lackluster, especially the crashing sound effects and sometimes they don't even sound like they should, the developers just didn't even want to listen to them, they simply put the first random sound in the world.
# The soundtrack is forgettable and repetitive. It does not even have licensed songs, rips out music from your PC's music folder without your knowledge and even plays ambient sound effects at times. This caught racing YouTuber Shinyodd off-guard when [https://youtu.be/ZXv2nyMLFqw?t=180 his copy of the game suddenly plays the] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uAZdIJIl8o Arabic Nokia ringtone]. Developers probably didn't even have enough budget to license the soundtrack and instead decided to create their own although it's a good thing that they wanted to create something their own way because at least it shows that they put more effort into the game.
# The game manages to make the fun modes of past ''FlatOut'' games, Stuntman and Derby, incredibly dull and lifeless. The developers apparently didn't even play the previous installments of this series and decided to just create it their way thinking that their version will be better when it apparently isn't.
# The game was made at a '''bad''' time, where Bugbear Entertainment was busy with ''Ridge Racer Unbounded'', so Team6 Game Studios worked on this game.
# This game '''likes''' to crash a lot. You can crash while trying to skip music, you can crash while choosing a game mode, you can crash while spectating other drivers, you can even crash when trying to load anything. This game is basically one giant error. The developers didn't seem to care, and either they didn't want to fix it, or worse, they didn't even want to test how the game worked.
# Statistics are not being tracked properly. Even the erroneous values for cars destroyed and races played are being interpreted as ''floating-point values'' instead of integers! All in all, this is another proof that the creators didn't care how the game works at all and did not evaluate the gameplay, which is the most important part of the game.
# Some characters are just blatant copyright infringements, like Zin Benzin (who is just actor Vin Diesel as he appears in the ''Riddick'' franchise with his surname being German for gasoline), Zario (a mix of Mario and disgraced former porn actor Ron Jeremy), Ufer Bull (a mix of Agent 47 from the ''Hitman'' franchise and infamous film director Uwe Boll), and Thirtyfour Rupias (a poor man's 50 Cent as ₹34 = US45¢). Some of their backstories don't even make sense, like X-mas2011 (who would name their daughter like that!?) and Silen Einnor, the last one not only never appeared in previous games (technically he does according to Rerez, but only his model as the default human male), but his name is a reverse of Team6 Game Studios founder Ronnie Nelis.
# This game nearly killed the ''FlatOut'' franchise, until 2017's ''FlatOut 4: Total Insanity''.
== The Only Redeeming Quality ==
# At least the menu is decent, unlike the rest of the game.
== Reception ==
''FlatOut 3'' is currently the second worst rated game of all time on Steam, behind ''War of the Three Kingdoms'' and also the worst game of 2011 and even one of the worst games of all-time. Likewise, it also holds a Metacritic score of 23 out of 100, with only two reviews scoring the game at a score above 4 out of 10 (Gaming Nexus and [[GameSpot]]).

'''''Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc''''' is the third major platform game installment in the ''Rayman'' series and the sequel to ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''. A remastered HD port was later released for the [[PlayStation 3]] and [[Xbox 360]] as ''Rayman 3 HD''.
Note: This focus on the console versions due to the GBA version being completely different from this aside from the story, for the GBA version, [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|click here]].
== Developement ==
Rayman had at least 3 designs during the game's development. First, he was to appear in the same appearance as in ''Rayman 2'', then in a design similar to that of ''Rayman 3'' but with a yellow hood and the same shoes as in ''Rayman 2'', until arriving at his final design.
This flag has been replaced with a flag representing the most common enemies in the game : Corporals .
The design of the life bars was the same as in ''Rayman 2'', but they were modified during development.
In the second early preview of ''Rayman 3'', several old names of some levels make their appearance: Central Bank Garden, which corresponds to the Fairy Council, the Sour Noodle Swamp, which corresponds to the Crappy Swamp, Abracadabra Shortcut, which corresponds to the Great Shortcut, Black Lumsa, which corresponds to the Hoodlums Headquarters, and finally The Dark Dungeon which corresponds to the Leptys Tower.
In the Rayman 3 Early Preview sound files , there is a dialogue where Globox says: "Oh, shit, I'm flying! That's funny!". This was probably removed from the game due to bad vocabulary. A dialogue from Murfy was censored for using the same word but was not removed from the final version of the game.
Trapped Plums were supposed to appear in the game but for some reasons was cut out the game.
== Plot ==
It follows Rayman in his quest to stop an evil Black Lum named André from taking over the world with his army of hoodlum soldiers, which includes finding a cure for his best friend Globox after he accidentally swallows André.
== Why It's On The Roll ==
# ''Rayman 3'' features a point-based scoring system; a first for the series. The score system offers tons of replay value and tests the player's skills and knowledge of enemy encounters, and because of that system being well though, you might actually want to score the more points you can get, due to how fun it is.
#* The scoring system is also really fun and make the scoring way more fun than it would be if it wasn't for that, since if it was not present, it would probably be useless to score points and you would prefer to rush to the end of the level.
#** Despite that the scoring system is a major part of the game charm, you can still rush to the end and still get a lot of fun because of how amazing the gameplay is.
# Rayman's friend Globox is given a much bigger role and accompanies Rayman through the entire game, and received character development despite still being a bit scared, and he very funny in this game, especially when he is drunk, also he's still likable and help Rayman especially when he's drunk and do platforms to get though a pit that you can't escape, though he might spawn them accidently due to being drunk.
# The humor is just excellent and make this game probably one of the funniest game of the 2000s and it isn't a joke, almost, if not all the jokes are funny and the humor is at it's absolute best in this game, even in comparison to the predecessors and the next games such as ''Raving Rabbids'' or ''Legends''.
#* The French dub countain even more funny moments because the voices and dialogues are excellent, and feel more alive than the english dub, especially with the hoodlum that Globox eat.
#** One of the best exemple of the funny moments in the French dub is when Globox say to Rayman that he almost didn't feared anything, and the hoodlum say "C'est ça, et t'a presque pooper dans ton froc, gros dégueulasse va!", which mostly sound funny because of André voice.
#* Or the moment where Globox became drunk he either act in a very funny ways or say something that is hilarous, most notably when he craw on the ground or when he say that he's gonna get mad.
#* It even had some adult jokes and while some of them are too innapropriate for a kid game, they still are rather funny such as one moment where a sentence talked about a X website in the second level, and the mention was rather funny and unexpected.
#* Murfy had easily some of the best quotes of the entire game, especially in French because of the fact that his jokes are mostly adult jokes and one of these even include the s word but censored, which is extremely funny.
# Amazing graphics that are very advanced for it's time and even goes as far as being almost on par with ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', a game of 2002 that also had very beautiful graphics for it's time and this game hold up just as well as that game, since the graphics are very detailled, colorful and the art style of the game is very impressive for it's time, the HD remaster also made the graphics even better since it look even more colorful and look slighly more detailled, it is also obviously a huge step up from the graphics of both ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman Revolution]]'' and ''Rayman Arena'', despite those still looking solid.
# The gameplay is extremely fun, and varied for a 2003 game, and is faster than the one from ''Rayman 2'', which also had great gameplay but somewhat slow, here it is very fast-paced and focus on combat rather than platforming all the time, which is a first for the series too, and because of the game bigger focus on the combat, it can almost be considered a beat 'em up game, but still had a lot of platforming to keep you entertained, and because of this, it is the most unique gameplay of the series.
# Cool box arts for every regions and are just as good as the cover art from the second game.
#* The NA box art show Rayman doing an angry face and punching along with the sorcerer and his spires that are present in the background, which look really cool and epic.
#* The Europe cover art is just as epic, if not more iconic. This is because it show Rayman in an epic pose and the background is also amazing to look at, and also it feel epic and possibly even better than the NA cover art for some peoples, although it unfortunately doesn't feature the sorcerer but at least it still feature the hoodlums.
#* The HD remaster is just as epic as the NA cover art, and manage to update the Rayman design, and while it isn't as epic because of that, it still look amazing and overall one of the best art of the whole series.
# The game is way more challenging than ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', since now the combats are harder and sometime the platforming sections and puzzles are very challenging and tough, especially in the desert levels since in those levels, the knaarens are impossible to defeat, and the fact that the platforming in those levels require precision, it just make the game feel more challenging and thus make it the hardest 3D platformer of the franchise.
#* And even then, the game difficulty is very well balanced, not too hard nor too easy, even for the boss fights it isn't unbalanced and because of this, you will not get too much troubles to beat the game and you will get to practice it a lot.
# Ton of memorable quotes are present in this game, and most of those are very funny, exemples include:
## "'''Combat fatigues! That's exactly what we need! You're right'''" - Rayman
## "'''You were nicer in Rayman 2'''" - Globox
## "'''Bug off, fairy! Zelda needs you!'''" - André
## "'''Hey, Rayman, I didn't know you had a twin'''" - Globox
## "'''Yeah, and you almost didn’t wet yourself. You disgust me'''" - André
## "'''What’s yer problem? You afraid of girls?'''" - Begoniax
## "'''Alright, Ladies and Gents! Let's roll!'''" - Rayman
## "'''Aaah! They’re shootin’ at us! How original of them.'''" - Murfy
## "'''Get me a drink or I start nibbling his arteries'''" - André
## "'''A drink! Finally'''" - André
## "'''Aaah, there’s that pervert again!'''" - Begoniax
## "'''Excuse me, have you seen André?"'''" - Murfy
## "'''I was told that after ‘Rayman 2’ I’d be cast as a tormented artist who falls for a girl with great, big...eh...eyes. And here I am, still playing a sidekick in some low-budget flick! Yeesh'''" - Murfy
## "'''Hi, Rayman! What's up down there? Can't ya fly? Like everyone else?'''" - Globox
## "'''Sooo...if you still believe that Rayman is more sophisticated than me, I have a valid question. How many times has Rayman lost since the start of the game? Hm? Hmm? More than me, that's for sure, given I have never known defeat! Need I say more?'''" - Globox
## "'''What? This is out of control! The manual claims that you can make a chopper outta your hair. Make a chopper of your hair. Huh. Sounds like someone’s been eatin’ paint chips again'''" - Murfy
## "'''Globox? Globox? ANSWER ME!'''" - Murfy
# The controls are once again excellent, since they're just as tight and responsive as the previous games despite being slighly less responsive than the two previous main games and ''Rayman Arena'', they also are way faster which mean that if you disliked the speed of Rayman in the second game due to being slighly slow, here he is way faster to control and this make the game even more fun than before.
#* The lock system had also great controls and that system somehow manage to be an improvement over the one of ''Rayman 2's'', because not only it target the enemies or other things extremely well but also it is somehow easier to use it, since in ''Rayman 2'', it mostly target in the front direction, but here it can go to three directions: Right, Left and in front of the enemies, which obviously make it better and for the most parts it doesn't fail to target.
# The soundtrack is amazing and composed by Fred Leonard, Laurent Parisi and Plume, and the soundtrack is somehow even better than the music in the first two games, since not only it is catchy but also well composed and fit the game tone, such exemples include:
## Madder is a very cool intro theme song and is the only vocal song of the game, it is most likely the best theme song of the entire series and sound even better than the theme song of the [[Rayman: The Animated Series|1999 cartoon]] (which also sounded decent)
## Hoodoo Sorcerer is a very catchy song and while it doesn't really fit a fight battle with enemies and that it isn't heard a lot, it still sound amazing to the point of being the most well know song of the game and it also sound hilarous, which explain why this music is used in a lot of videos on the internet.
## Teensie Highway is mostly based on 80s style musics and is absolutely phenomenal to listen to and is probably one of the greatest song of the entire ''Rayman'' franchise, as not only it sound extremely catchy but it doesn't even feel repetitive and you might even want to fall constantly to heard this music, not only that but when you fall in those levels, you heard a very good jingle, which also sound catchy despite being short.
## Drunk Globox is probably the most funny song of the game, since much like a moment from a certain ''Asterix'' movie, Globox got drunk (often by the way) and the music really fit the situation and make the scenes of Globox being drunk even funnier, and show that back then, they could include almost everything that is mature into a game rated E/3+ (even if the HD remaster corrected the Pegi rating and was instead Pegi 7).
## Hoodstomper theme is one of the best song of the entire game, because it is so catchy and sound unforgettable too, and it fit the fight itself and even the game nature, and that's cool.
## Rayman Take Control is a very funny song (despite not being as funny as Drunk Globox), and somewhat fit the situation he is in that moment of the game, and when you heard this kind of musics in a game you know that it's a game that is very entertainning in both the humor and gameplay and show how much passions it went into the game.
## Know Where to Jump/Fly are both very identical but they still sound absolutely great and catchy, as well as managing to make the last parts stressful, also it make you know that you're in for the end of your adventure before fighting the final boss.
### The Know Where to Jump song is especially the best of them all because of the bass that is satistying to listen to.
## Hard Landing is a very catchy song and make it one of the best intro song of a first level, and it even appear to be the title screen theme, which is even better and the song is overall very memorable, much like the rest of the game.
## Reflux theme is very epic and is nothing short of memorable because it fit the character and it make the fight even more epic, even if it isn't even as epic as the final boss theme.
## The final boss theme is pretty much one of the best boss music in the game because of being very epic and it help that all of the fourth phases had slightly different sounding theme, and the fourth and final phase had a completely different theme that is just as catchy and epic, and all of them sound great.
# Rayman 3's levels are more straightforward and oriented towards action and combat rather than platform and exploration. And unlike many combat oriented platformers, the game is still enjoyable and still feels like a platformer thanks to the combat mechanics being well designed.
#* The levels are also shorter than the previous games since while it had 8 big levels, it had many sub levels that last 5 to 10 minutes in a similar vein to ''[[Pac-Man World 2]]'', which work very well for a ''Rayman'' game, and while most ''Rayman 2'' levels we're short too, they we're not designed to be completely straightforward and had lot of explorations, and although ''Rayman 3's'' now lack explorations (for the most parts), it still feel enjoyable and is just as good as ''Rayman 2'', thank to being well designed.
# Rather than shooting projectile orbs like in the previous game, Rayman returns to shooting his fists to attack enemies like in the first game, which is much more iconic to the character.
# The voice acting is great and a major step up from ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', since the voices are even better and fit the characters, the French dub in particular is even better than the previous game which already had an amazing dub and sounded impressive, here they are even more fitting but let's talk about both the english and french dub with more details in the sub pointers.
#* The english dub is once again very good and had voices that fit the characters as stated before, and while they sound calmer in this dub than the french version, they can still sound funny and fit the characters, by the way Murfy was voiced by Billy West in this game, in which he still do a good job at voicing Murfy, much like his voice for Rayman in the CGI cartoon.
#* The French dub howewer is excellent and much like ''[[Kao the Kangaroo: Round 2]]'' or even the ''Crash Bandicoot'' games, they sound very funny and fit every single characters, such as Rayman, Globox, Murphy and especially the Dark Lums inside Globox, which sound very funny and his lines never fail to make us laugh, also it is probably (though this depend on your opinion) the best French dub of the 2000s in video games history.
# It had lot of references to other medias, which wasn't present in the previous games, such moments include references from the previous games, ''Spider-Man 2'' and ''The Legend of Zelda'', those are also very funny.
# The game features sarcastic self-referential undertones and pokes fun at the platform video game genre, which differs from the light-hearted nature of its predecessors, this is also part of this game funny humor since while it pokes fun at the platforming genre, it still manage to never feel offensive and come of as hilarous, thank to being well though.
# The gag where Globox need to drink alcools is very hilarous and never fail to make us laugh, if slighly innapropriate for a kid game. And it once again show that this game don't fear of being a kid game.
# The bosses are pretty decent despite most of them being a downgrade from ''Rayman 2'', since not only they are challenging but also some of them are epic and the bosses overall had balanced difficulty, not too hard nor too easy.
#* The final boss of the game, Reflux is a very badass final boss and is extremely epic due to how challenging he is and because of the backgrounds and musics, and here it just as perfect as the final boss from ''Rayman 2'', which also had a very epic final boss, especially in the PS1 version where Razorbeard was challenging and epic, but now back to the final boss of ''Rayman 3'', he had four phases and they all are challenging in their own ways, and they all are fun to fight.
#** First phase involve him doing a lot of attacks that are rather hard to dodge, and the way you fight him is quite great and epic, to the point of feeling like one of the best boss ever.
#** The second involve him being even taller and had a massively big hand attack, and you hide in the lower ground platforms to avoid his attacks, until you got the red power, which is very fun, and it is very epic.
#** Third phase is the weakest phase of his fight but still epic because you had to get up on the platforms before they disappears, and it is quite challenging and also it was done in a unique way here, not like some of those bosses from the ''Mario'' franchise.
#** The fourth and final phase of his fight is different, yet still amazing and epic because you know that you're near the end of the final battle and that Reflux doesn't play around, here it is the rail shooter gameplay that return from the previous level before the boss, and it's once again challenging
# Instead of permanent upgrades to his abilities, Rayman can now find special "Laser Washing Powder" cans containing one of five temporary power-ups. When Rayman uses this power ups his outfit temporarily changes, and those are pretty fun to use and the game is designed with this in mind, and also make this game stand out from the other ''Rayman'' games.
# Lots of secrets and unlockables including cameos from the previous game and beta content from this game, which is still pleasant to discover.
# The rail levels are quite decent and a nice break from the platforming levels (which are still better). Those levels mostly appear when you finished a level and these are actually for teleporting you in the next levels, which is a nice and unique idea. The levels themself are also very fun because you can do 100% in them and jumping frop a platform to another is satistying.
#* You can even find the USS Enterprise from ''Star Trek'' in one of them, which is nice.
# Rayman can now shoot two fists at once, which makes combat much more fluent. It also makes swinging through rings a lot easier.
== Bad Qualities ==
# Globox, the Teensies, and Murfy are the only characters from ''Rayman 2'' that appear in person.
#* Not helping the fact that Murfy isn't seen in the entirety of the game since he abandon early in the game and even say "See you in Rayman 4", which didn't aged well due to that game being cancelled, (unless if you thinking about the GBA version of Raving Rabbids..)
# The animation in the in-game cutscenes is terrible, with the characters moving in a jagged, robotic way, and it also didn't aged well, even ''Rayman 2'' animation in game was slighly better, though the animated cutscenes are still decently animated.
# The lip-syncing in the game is inconsistent in most cases in the English version, in most cases the lips stop moving but the characters keep talking, however this problem does not occur in the French, Spanish, German, and Italian version of the game as the lip-syncing is much better in those versions.
# The game doesn't had any checkpoints in the levels, which is frustrating because if you get killed even at almost the end of a stage, then you will had to start over at the beginning, and if you had troubles to beat some levels, then you will take longer to beat the game.
# In some cases, the game can be very difficult and confusing in some of it's levels, and while it isn't as hard as the first game, it can still be very intense in difficulty, in a similar vein to ''[[Garfield: Saving Arlene]]''.
#* Sometime there's way too much enemies that can kill you and some of them are poorly placed, which doesn't help and can become tedious.
#* Not to mention that the levels don't really had any checkpoints since when you die, you restart all over the beginning of the sub level where you did die, which can be very annoying and can be frustrating, it doesn't help that you had only one life, much like the previous game.
# The Desert of Knaarens is an extremely disturbing level and is absolutely out of place for a ''Rayman'' game and feel more like that it come from a horror game, in which it make you wonder how the game even got rated E in the first place, though the remaster will fix this with a E+10/Pegi 7 instead, which fit it more.
#* In other cases, the lines from the knaarens are very scary for a kid game since they say creepy things that will probably make childrens having nightmare, and it show by the fact that it scared an entire generation of young kids.
#* The level itself is incredibly dark and edgy in a bad way to the point of being even darker than ''Rayman 2'', which was know for being a very dark game but even that game doesn't go as far as this level, and it doesn't help that the colors themself are very dark in this level (obviously).
#* In addition, when the knaarens hit you, they make a very scary effect when you approach them, which obviously can scare a lot of young childrens, and it doesn't help that their designs will scare young kids and in some cases, adults as well.
# Some of this game departure from the previous games can be a turn off for some fans, and is mostly one of the reason why for one period this game got a biased hatebase.
#* The stronger focus on combat gameplay can be alienating to fans of the previous two games, because if they liked the adventures focus in Rayman 2 and that they wanted this format back, then they will probably be dissapointed.
#* The fact that the game is more linear can be even more of a turn off, even if ''Rayman 2'' for the most parts was very linear.
# For some reasons, the HD remaster revomed the theme song.

=== Critical Reception ===
''Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc'' received generally positive reviews from critics. On Metacritic, the GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox and Windows versions of the game received aggregated scores of 77, 76, 75 and 74 respectively. On GameRankings, the GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox and Windows versions received scores of 78.08%, 80.19%, 76.91% and 78.31% respectively, making it the lowest rated main series ''Rayman'' game.
The game's impressive visuals and artistic style received universal praise. Its dialogue, voice acting and humour polarised reviewers, with some praising their wit. The gameplay was generally regarded as solid, but some criticized the game for focusing on combat and timer-based puzzles rather than platform.
Rayman's creator Michel Ancel wasn't directly involved in the game's development and said that while he liked the game, it was "a bit too concrete for [his] tastes", and that he "would have made the game differently".
== Game Tips ==
# Every five times you score points within the same combo chain, the combo points you get are doubled. Take advantage of this to score large amounts of points; for example grab five coins '''before''' killing an enemy.
# The first time you score points doesn't count towards combos so it's best to start a combo chain by scoring the lowest points available, usually grabbing a common coin.
# Combo chains last three seconds after grabbing a coin and six seconds after killing an enemy.
# Plan your attack strategy carefully when going into a combat section to maximize combo chains.
# Reading the game manual is highly recommended, as it contains information that is not given by Murfy or the tutorial (including the method of approaching the Tribelles , the presence of the Matuvus and the fact that the points collected are doubled if you use a laser detergent).

== Trivia ==
* A sound effect from the ''Rayman Dictations'' educational game collection was reused in Rayman 3. It can be heard in the game's menus when scrolling the cursor.
* The Fairy Council was mentioned in the first pages of the Rayman 2 manual. The Heart of the World was mentioned in Rayman 2, but did not appear in it.
* ''Rayman 3'' makes several references to the first Rayman game: Murfy 's Manual shows a reproduction of Rayman 's head when he was in 2D. An image of Livingstone is hung on the stakes where a plum must be planted . The mini-games 2D Madness and 2D Nightmare use 2D settings. Finally, one of Count Razoff's ancestors has chased Space Mama out of the City of Images.
* ''Rayman 3'' also makes many references to ''Rayman 2'', for exemple in the Crawdad Swamps, we again come across giant brambles. In Razoff 's Mansion, we can see sculptures representing the snake Sssssam. In the Knaaren Desert, we again face zombie chickens. In the Great Shortcut, a secret room contains a statue of the fairy Ly. Finally, in Hoodlums Headquarters, a secret room contains statues of Razorbeard and some Pirate Robots.
* John Leguizamo who voiced Globox in this game, also voiced Sid from the ''Ice Age'' series.

'''''Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc''''' is the third major platform game installment in the ''Rayman'' series and the sequel to ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''. A remastered HD port was later released for the [[PlayStation 3]] and [[Xbox 360]] as ''Rayman 3 HD''.
Note: This focus on the console versions due to the GBA version being completely different from this aside from the story, for the GBA version, [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|click here]].
== Developement ==
Rayman had at least 3 designs during the game's development. First, he was to appear in the same appearance as in ''Rayman 2'', then in a design similar to that of ''Rayman 3'' but with a yellow hood and the same shoes as in ''Rayman 2'', until arriving at his final design.
This flag has been replaced with a flag representing the most common enemies in the game : Corporals .
The design of the life bars was the same as in ''Rayman 2'', but they were modified during development.
In the second early preview of ''Rayman 3'', several old names of some levels make their appearance: Central Bank Garden, which corresponds to the Fairy Council, the Sour Noodle Swamp, which corresponds to the Crappy Swamp, Abracadabra Shortcut, which corresponds to the Great Shortcut, Black Lumsa, which corresponds to the Hoodlums Headquarters, and finally The Dark Dungeon which corresponds to the Leptys Tower.
In the Rayman 3 Early Preview sound files , there is a dialogue where Globox says: "Oh, shit, I'm flying! That's funny!". This was probably removed from the game due to bad vocabulary. A dialogue from Murfy was censored for using the same word but was not removed from the final version of the game.
Trapped Plums were supposed to appear in the game but for some reasons was cut out the game.
== Plot ==
It follows Rayman in his quest to stop an evil Black Lum named André from taking over the world with his army of hoodlum soldiers, which includes finding a cure for his best friend Globox after he accidentally swallows André.
== Why It's On The Roll ==
# ''Rayman 3'' features a point-based scoring system; a first for the series. The score system offers tons of replay value and tests the player's skills and knowledge of enemy encounters, and because of that system being well though, you might actually want to score the more points you can get, due to how fun it is.
#* The scoring system is also really fun and make the scoring way more fun than it would be if it wasn't for that, since if it was not present, it would probably be useless to score points and you would prefer to rush to the end of the level.
#** Despite that the scoring system is a major part of the game charm, you can still rush to the end and still get a lot of fun because of how amazing the gameplay is.
# Rayman's friend Globox is given a much bigger role and accompanies Rayman through the entire game, and received character development despite still being a bit scared, and he very funny in this game, especially when he is drunk, also he's still likable and help Rayman especially when he's drunk and do platforms to get though a pit that you can't escape, though he might spawn them accidently due to being drunk.
# The humor is just excellent and make this game probably one of the funniest game of the 2000s and it isn't a joke, almost, if not all the jokes are funny and the humor is at it's absolute best in this game, even in comparison to the predecessors and the next games such as ''Raving Rabbids'' or ''Legends''.
#* The French dub countain even more funny moments because the voices and dialogues are excellent, and feel more alive than the english dub, especially with the hoodlum that Globox eat.
#** One of the best exemple of the funny moments in the French dub is when Globox say to Rayman that he almost didn't feared anything, and the hoodlum say "C'est ça, et t'a presque pooper dans ton froc, gros dégueulasse va!", which mostly sound funny because of André voice.
#* Or the moment where Globox became drunk he either act in a very funny ways or say something that is hilarous, most notably when he craw on the ground or when he say that he's gonna get mad.
#* It even had some adult jokes and while some of them are too innapropriate for a kid game, they still are rather funny such as one moment where a sentence talked about a X website in the second level, and the mention was rather funny and unexpected.
#* Murfy had easily some of the best quotes of the entire game, especially in French because of the fact that his jokes are mostly adult jokes and one of these even include the s word but censored, which is extremely funny.
# Amazing graphics that are very advanced for it's time and even goes as far as being almost on par with ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', a game of 2002 that also had very beautiful graphics for it's time and this game hold up just as well as that game, since the graphics are very detailled, colorful and the art style of the game is very impressive for it's time, the HD remaster also made the graphics even better since it look even more colorful and look slighly more detailled, it is also obviously a huge step up from the graphics of both ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman Revolution]]'' and ''Rayman Arena'', despite those still looking solid.
# The gameplay is extremely fun, and varied for a 2003 game, and is faster than the one from ''Rayman 2'', which also had great gameplay but somewhat slow, here it is very fast-paced and focus on combat rather than platforming all the time, which is a first for the series too, and because of the game bigger focus on the combat, it can almost be considered a beat 'em up game, but still had a lot of platforming to keep you entertained, and because of this, it is the most unique gameplay of the series.
# Cool box arts for every regions and are just as good as the cover art from the second game.
#* The NA box art show Rayman doing an angry face and punching along with the sorcerer and his spires that are present in the background, which look really cool and epic.
#* The Europe cover art is just as epic, if not more iconic. This is because it show Rayman in an epic pose and the background is also amazing to look at, and also it feel epic and possibly even better than the NA cover art for some peoples, although it unfortunately doesn't feature the sorcerer but at least it still feature the hoodlums.
#* The HD remaster is just as epic as the NA cover art, and manage to update the Rayman design, and while it isn't as epic because of that, it still look amazing and overall one of the best art of the whole series.
# The game is way more challenging than ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', since now the combats are harder and sometime the platforming sections and puzzles are very challenging and tough, especially in the desert levels since in those levels, the knaarens are impossible to defeat, and the fact that the platforming in those levels require precision, it just make the game feel more challenging and thus make it the hardest 3D platformer of the franchise.
#* And even then, the game difficulty is very well balanced, not too hard nor too easy, even for the boss fights it isn't unbalanced and because of this, you will not get too much troubles to beat the game and you will get to practice it a lot.
# Ton of memorable quotes are present in this game, and most of those are very funny, exemples include:
## "'''Combat fatigues! That's exactly what we need! You're right'''" - Rayman
## "'''You were nicer in Rayman 2'''" - Globox
## "'''Bug off, fairy! Zelda needs you!'''" - André
## "'''Hey, Rayman, I didn't know you had a twin'''" - Globox
## "'''Yeah, and you almost didn’t wet yourself. You disgust me'''" - André
## "'''What’s yer problem? You afraid of girls?'''" - Begoniax
## "'''Alright, Ladies and Gents! Let's roll!'''" - Rayman
## "'''Aaah! They’re shootin’ at us! How original of them.'''" - Murfy
## "'''Get me a drink or I start nibbling his arteries'''" - André
## "'''A drink! Finally'''" - André
## "'''Aaah, there’s that pervert again!'''" - Begoniax
## "'''Excuse me, have you seen André?"'''" - Murfy
## "'''I was told that after ‘Rayman 2’ I’d be cast as a tormented artist who falls for a girl with great, big...eh...eyes. And here I am, still playing a sidekick in some low-budget flick! Yeesh'''" - Murfy
## "'''Hi, Rayman! What's up down there? Can't ya fly? Like everyone else?'''" - Globox
## "'''Sooo...if you still believe that Rayman is more sophisticated than me, I have a valid question. How many times has Rayman lost since the start of the game? Hm? Hmm? More than me, that's for sure, given I have never known defeat! Need I say more?'''" - Globox
## "'''What? This is out of control! The manual claims that you can make a chopper outta your hair. Make a chopper of your hair. Huh. Sounds like someone’s been eatin’ paint chips again'''" - Murfy
## "'''Globox? Globox? ANSWER ME!'''" - Murfy
# The controls are once again excellent, since they're just as tight and responsive as the previous games despite being slighly less responsive than the two previous main games and ''Rayman Arena'', they also are way faster which mean that if you disliked the speed of Rayman in the second game due to being slighly slow, here he is way faster to control and this make the game even more fun than before.
#* The lock system had also great controls and that system somehow manage to be an improvement over the one of ''Rayman 2's'', because not only it target the enemies or other things extremely well but also it is somehow easier to use it, since in ''Rayman 2'', it mostly target in the front direction, but here it can go to three directions: Right, Left and in front of the enemies, which obviously make it better and for the most parts it doesn't fail to target.
# The soundtrack is amazing and composed by Fred Leonard, Laurent Parisi and Plume, and the soundtrack is somehow even better than the music in the first two games, since not only it is catchy but also well composed and fit the game tone, such exemples include:
## Madder is a very cool intro theme song and is the only vocal song of the game, it is most likely the best theme song of the entire series and sound even better than the theme song of the [[Rayman: The Animated Series|1999 cartoon]] (which also sounded decent)
## Hoodoo Sorcerer is a very catchy song and while it doesn't really fit a fight battle with enemies and that it isn't heard a lot, it still sound amazing to the point of being the most well know song of the game and it also sound hilarous, which explain why this music is used in a lot of videos on the internet.
## Teensie Highway is mostly based on 80s style musics and is absolutely phenomenal to listen to and is probably one of the greatest song of the entire ''Rayman'' franchise, as not only it sound extremely catchy but it doesn't even feel repetitive and you might even want to fall constantly to heard this music, not only that but when you fall in those levels, you heard a very good jingle, which also sound catchy despite being short.
## Drunk Globox is probably the most funny song of the game, since much like a moment from a certain ''Asterix'' movie, Globox got drunk (often by the way) and the music really fit the situation and make the scenes of Globox being drunk even funnier, and show that back then, they could include almost everything that is mature into a game rated E/3+ (even if the HD remaster corrected the Pegi rating and was instead Pegi 7).
## Hoodstomper theme is one of the best song of the entire game, because it is so catchy and sound unforgettable too, and it fit the fight itself and even the game nature, and that's cool.
## Rayman Take Control is a very funny song (despite not being as funny as Drunk Globox), and somewhat fit the situation he is in that moment of the game, and when you heard this kind of musics in a game you know that it's a game that is very entertainning in both the humor and gameplay and show how much passions it went into the game.
## Know Where to Jump/Fly are both very identical but they still sound absolutely great and catchy, as well as managing to make the last parts stressful, also it make you know that you're in for the end of your adventure before fighting the final boss.
### The Know Where to Jump song is especially the best of them all because of the bass that is satistying to listen to.
## Hard Landing is a very catchy song and make it one of the best intro song of a first level, and it even appear to be the title screen theme, which is even better and the song is overall very memorable, much like the rest of the game.
## Reflux theme is very epic and is nothing short of memorable because it fit the character and it make the fight even more epic, even if it isn't even as epic as the final boss theme.
## The final boss theme is pretty much one of the best boss music in the game because of being very epic and it help that all of the fourth phases had slightly different sounding theme, and the fourth and final phase had a completely different theme that is just as catchy and epic, and all of them sound great.
# Rayman 3's levels are more straightforward and oriented towards action and combat rather than platform and exploration. And unlike many combat oriented platformers, the game is still enjoyable and still feels like a platformer thanks to the combat mechanics being well designed.
#* The levels are also shorter than the previous games since while it had 8 big levels, it had many sub levels that last 5 to 10 minutes in a similar vein to ''[[Pac-Man World 2]]'', which work very well for a ''Rayman'' game, and while most ''Rayman 2'' levels we're short too, they we're not designed to be completely straightforward and had lot of explorations, and although ''Rayman 3's'' now lack explorations (for the most parts), it still feel enjoyable and is just as good as ''Rayman 2'', thank to being well designed.
# Rather than shooting projectile orbs like in the previous game, Rayman returns to shooting his fists to attack enemies like in the first game, which is much more iconic to the character.
# The voice acting is great and a major step up from ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', since the voices are even better and fit the characters, the French dub in particular is even better than the previous game which already had an amazing dub and sounded impressive, here they are even more fitting but let's talk about both the english and french dub with more details in the sub pointers.
#* The english dub is once again very good and had voices that fit the characters as stated before, and while they sound calmer in this dub than the french version, they can still sound funny and fit the characters, by the way Murfy was voiced by Billy West in this game, in which he still do a good job at voicing Murfy, much like his voice for Rayman in the CGI cartoon.
#* The French dub howewer is excellent and much like ''[[Kao the Kangaroo: Round 2]]'' or even the ''Crash Bandicoot'' games, they sound very funny and fit every single characters, such as Rayman, Globox, Murphy and especially the Dark Lums inside Globox, which sound very funny and his lines never fail to make us laugh, also it is probably (though this depend on your opinion) the best French dub of the 2000s in video games history.
# It had lot of references to other medias, which wasn't present in the previous games, such moments include references from the previous games, ''Spider-Man 2'' and ''The Legend of Zelda'', those are also very funny.
# The game features sarcastic self-referential undertones and pokes fun at the platform video game genre, which differs from the light-hearted nature of its predecessors, this is also part of this game funny humor since while it pokes fun at the platforming genre, it still manage to never feel offensive and come of as hilarous, thank to being well though.
# The gag where Globox need to drink alcools is very hilarous and never fail to make us laugh, if slighly innapropriate for a kid game. And it once again show that this game don't fear of being a kid game.
# The bosses are pretty decent despite most of them being a downgrade from ''Rayman 2'', since not only they are challenging but also some of them are epic and the bosses overall had balanced difficulty, not too hard nor too easy.
#* The final boss of the game, Reflux is a very badass final boss and is extremely epic due to how challenging he is and because of the backgrounds and musics, and here it just as perfect as the final boss from ''Rayman 2'', which also had a very epic final boss, especially in the PS1 version where Razorbeard was challenging and epic, but now back to the final boss of ''Rayman 3'', he had four phases and they all are challenging in their own ways, and they all are fun to fight.
#** First phase involve him doing a lot of attacks that are rather hard to dodge, and the way you fight him is quite great and epic, to the point of feeling like one of the best boss ever.
#** The second involve him being even taller and had a massively big hand attack, and you hide in the lower ground platforms to avoid his attacks, until you got the red power, which is very fun, and it is very epic.
#** Third phase is the weakest phase of his fight but still epic because you had to get up on the platforms before they disappears, and it is quite challenging and also it was done in a unique way here, not like some of those bosses from the ''Mario'' franchise.
#** The fourth and final phase of his fight is different, yet still amazing and epic because you know that you're near the end of the final battle and that Reflux doesn't play around, here it is the rail shooter gameplay that return from the previous level before the boss, and it's once again challenging
# Instead of permanent upgrades to his abilities, Rayman can now find special "Laser Washing Powder" cans containing one of five temporary power-ups. When Rayman uses this power ups his outfit temporarily changes, and those are pretty fun to use and the game is designed with this in mind, and also make this game stand out from the other ''Rayman'' games.
# Lots of secrets and unlockables including cameos from the previous game and beta content from this game, which is still pleasant to discover.
# The rail levels are quite decent and a nice break from the platforming levels (which are still better). Those levels mostly appear when you finished a level and these are actually for teleporting you in the next levels, which is a nice and unique idea. The levels themself are also very fun because you can do 100% in them and jumping frop a platform to another is satistying.
#* You can even find the USS Enterprise from ''Star Trek'' in one of them, which is nice.
# Rayman can now shoot two fists at once, which makes combat much more fluent. It also makes swinging through rings a lot easier.
== Bad Qualities ==
# Globox, the Teensies, and Murfy are the only characters from ''Rayman 2'' that appear in person.
#* Not helping the fact that Murfy isn't seen in the entirety of the game since he abandon early in the game and even say "See you in Rayman 4", which didn't aged well due to that game being cancelled, (unless if you thinking about the GBA version of Raving Rabbids..)
# The animation in the in-game cutscenes is terrible, with the characters moving in a jagged, robotic way, and it also didn't aged well, even ''Rayman 2'' animation in game was slighly better, though the animated cutscenes are still decently animated.
# The lip-syncing in the game is inconsistent in most cases in the English version, in most cases the lips stop moving but the characters keep talking, however this problem does not occur in the French, Spanish, German, and Italian version of the game as the lip-syncing is much better in those versions.
# The game doesn't had any checkpoints in the levels, which is frustrating because if you get killed even at almost the end of a stage, then you will had to start over at the beginning, and if you had troubles to beat some levels, then you will take longer to beat the game.
# In some cases, the game can be very difficult and confusing in some of it's levels, and while it isn't as hard as the first game, it can still be very intense in difficulty, in a similar vein to ''[[Garfield: Saving Arlene]]''.
#* Sometime there's way too much enemies that can kill you and some of them are poorly placed, which doesn't help and can become tedious.
#* Not to mention that the levels don't really had any checkpoints since when you die, you restart all over the beginning of the sub level where you did die, which can be very annoying and can be frustrating, it doesn't help that you had only one life, much like the previous game.
# The Desert of Knaarens is an extremely disturbing level and is absolutely out of place for a ''Rayman'' game and feel more like that it come from a horror game, in which it make you wonder how the game even got rated E in the first place, though the remaster will fix this with a E+10/Pegi 7 instead, which fit it more.
#* In other cases, the lines from the knaarens are very scary for a kid game since they say creepy things that will probably make childrens having nightmare, and it show by the fact that it scared an entire generation of young kids.
#* The level itself is incredibly dark and edgy in a bad way to the point of being even darker than ''Rayman 2'', which was know for being a very dark game but even that game doesn't go as far as this level, and it doesn't help that the colors themself are very dark in this level (obviously).
#* In addition, when the knaarens hit you, they make a very scary effect when you approach them, which obviously can scare a lot of young childrens, and it doesn't help that their designs will scare young kids and in some cases, adults as well.
# Some of this game departure from the previous games can be a turn off for some fans, and is mostly one of the reason why for one period this game got a biased hatebase.
#* The stronger focus on combat gameplay can be alienating to fans of the previous two games, because if they liked the adventures focus in Rayman 2 and that they wanted this format back, then they will probably be dissapointed.
#* The fact that the game is more linear can be even more of a turn off, even if ''Rayman 2'' for the most parts was very linear.

=== Critical Reception ===
''Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc'' received generally positive reviews from critics. On Metacritic, the GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox and Windows versions of the game received aggregated scores of 77, 76, 75 and 74 respectively. On GameRankings, the GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox and Windows versions received scores of 78.08%, 80.19%, 76.91% and 78.31% respectively, making it the lowest rated main series ''Rayman'' game.
The game's impressive visuals and artistic style received universal praise. Its dialogue, voice acting and humour polarised reviewers, with some praising their wit. The gameplay was generally regarded as solid, but some criticized the game for focusing on combat and timer-based puzzles rather than platform.
Rayman's creator Michel Ancel wasn't directly involved in the game's development and said that while he liked the game, it was "a bit too concrete for [his] tastes", and that he "would have made the game differently".
== Game Tips ==
# Every five times you score points within the same combo chain, the combo points you get are doubled. Take advantage of this to score large amounts of points; for example grab five coins '''before''' killing an enemy.
# The first time you score points doesn't count towards combos so it's best to start a combo chain by scoring the lowest points available, usually grabbing a common coin.
# Combo chains last three seconds after grabbing a coin and six seconds after killing an enemy.
# Plan your attack strategy carefully when going into a combat section to maximize combo chains.
# Reading the game manual is highly recommended, as it contains information that is not given by Murfy or the tutorial (including the method of approaching the Tribelles , the presence of the Matuvus and the fact that the points collected are doubled if you use a laser detergent).

== Trivia ==
* A sound effect from the ''Rayman Dictations'' educational game collection was reused in Rayman 3. It can be heard in the game's menus when scrolling the cursor.
* The Fairy Council was mentioned in the first pages of the Rayman 2 manual. The Heart of the World was mentioned in Rayman 2, but did not appear in it.
* ''Rayman 3'' makes several references to the first Rayman game: Murfy 's Manual shows a reproduction of Rayman 's head when he was in 2D. An image of Livingstone is hung on the stakes where a plum must be planted . The mini-games 2D Madness and 2D Nightmare use 2D settings. Finally, one of Count Razoff's ancestors has chased Space Mama out of the City of Images.
* ''Rayman 3'' also makes many references to ''Rayman 2'', for exemple in the Crawdad Swamps, we again come across giant brambles. In Razoff 's Mansion, we can see sculptures representing the snake Sssssam. In the Knaaren Desert, we again face zombie chickens. In the Great Shortcut, a secret room contains a statue of the fairy Ly. Finally, in Hoodlums Headquarters, a secret room contains statues of Razorbeard and some Pirate Robots.
* John Leguizamo who voiced Globox in this game, also voiced Sid from the ''Ice Age'' series.

'''''Classic British Motor Racing''''' is a 2006 racing game developed by [[Data Design Interactive]] and published by Metro3D Europe for Microsoft Windows and PlayStation 2 only in Europe. The Wii version was released in 2008, published by Destineer in North America and Data Design Interactive in Europe and Australia.
== Gameplay ==
The gameplay is quite simple, you just have to reach the finish line in the highest possible position by completing a certain number of laps, by beating the championship the player can unlock new routes and cars.
== Why It's All Piss and Wind ==
# The menu is generally quite lazily made for a racing game released in 2006 because it does not offer much the ability to change the appearance of the car, only the ability to change the vehicle like in the first Need for Speed released 12 years before this game and has quite poor graphics and audio settings. Need for Speed: Carbon came out the same year and has a much more extensive menu than this game.
# Extremely boring gameplay. You are racing on routes happening in the United Kingdom, which have a terribly boring level design, without any variations. The routes are so lazily made that you can get the impression that the developers were too lazy and not creative enough to do something related to England itself because the routes are not associated with this country at all.
# This game is an exact copy of ''Austin Mini Racing'' (''Austin Cooper S Racing'' for PC). Menu, HUD, graphics, sounds and even music is the same. This is mainly due to the GODS engine. The only difference is the routes and vehicles. This clearly shows how unoriginal were the developers who didn't even want to create a separate game, they just copied and pasted a lot of stuff from the aforementioned game.
# Awfully cheap graphics. Cars that were cut out of plywood curves, by an amateur carpenter, with a blindfold on, shine as if they were greased with lard; textures that look like from the Nintendo 64 or [[PlayStation]] era; lighting is barely dying light bulbs, in Edison's time; and the special effects look closer to cold fires or oil splashes in a hot pan.
# On the PC version, the developer's logo is pasted as a game icon literally as if the developers didn't want to create some other original icon, they just stuck their logo because of laziness.
# Returning to the main menu, in options when you see the "How To Play" option, you can see that the font is too large and does not fit in the rectangle. It's questionable if the developers even looked at this guide and if the developers couldn't just make a tutorial where you can practice the controls instead of typing a boring set of texts that are too large to be read normally.
# Usually in games you can configure the keyboardology, this is not possible here, as in all games from Data Design which is absolutely unforgivable because even games that came out 10 years ago had such a feature that you can change the controls and even the hardware responsible for it, such as from keyboard to joystick.
# Horrible controls. The car is slippery to drive and jumps like a rubber ball, not to mention the turns. As a result, you will barely be able to overtake any of the opponents and you will rather struggle with the route, or rather non-stop hitting one of the walls and having trouble driving into the right wall.
# After finishing the stage, you won't get anything, not even a cup. The game throws you to the title screen as if the developers don't care if you finished the game or not, which shows quite a lot of laziness and that they rather treat consumers like garbage.
# As described above about the useless "How To Play" option, not everything is clearly written. The font is written with a capital letter, especially when we finish the stage, it is not known what it writes, because another inscription obscures.
# As mentioned earlier that you can't change the key configuration, some buttons do not match the action. The developers decided to assign gas under the [Enter] button, brake under the [Shift], and for emergency work press the [CTRL] key. It seems that the creators have never played any racing game considering the fact that even the buttons are not what they should be and that for this reason many people will have really serious problems with playing and winning at least one race.
# Artificial intelligence is so stupid that they would lose on the intelligence test when writing only the field with name and surname. During riding, when your opponents stick out behind the elbow behind the glass, they start like a thundering anaconda, turning left and right, as if in a cabin instead of a chair, they put a rocking horse. Opponents also often cause accidents by crashing into another opponent, causing a traffic jam, not to mention that they can collide with building barriers or walls. Normally, as if the developers wrote it quite simply and did not care how it will react to your or another opponent's behavior or to any event.
# Although the soundtrack is fine, it is repetitive and not very bearable when we hear some of them every time.
# Poorly reproduced sound effects. The collision of other drivers, accompanied by the sound of scratching with a sharp claw on the board; collision with the wall, intensifies the sound of throwing a metal can into the garbage container; and the sounds of the engine, arouse associations with a muffled juicer on the last straight. It seems that the developers did not want to listen to any of the sound effects and stuck the best sound effects even if they did not match the event.
# There could also be graphical errors. For example, you can go beyond the map when you are between wooden barriers at a some stage. Literally as if the developers didn't even want to test this game and just released the game as it is.
# The game is incredibly short at just an hour and a half, which for a racing game released in 2006 is an insanely short playthrough time considering the fact that Carbon released the same year is much longer than this game.
== Redeeming Qualities ==
# As mentioned earlier, the soundtrack itself is fine.
# There are 13 vehicles in the game that are decently imitated to real vehicles.

=== Critical reception ===
The reception of ''Classic British Motor Racing'' was usually negative and the game itself is considered one of the worst car games on PlayStation 2 and even compared to the London Cab Challenge.
Alan_Kim from ''[[GamesRadar+]]'' gave it a 1/5 stars saying "''Sometimes "classic" means "timeless". Sometimes it means old, ugly, slow, weak, and laughably primitive''".
''Cheat Code Central'', although they weren't supportive of the game, they approached it more gently than ''GamesRadar+'', they gave it a 2.5/5, which means average, describing "''Classic British Motor Racing'' is a title that most people should avoid. It does not provide a satisfying racing experience, and it does not provide any real satisfying gameplay elements."<ref name="CCC"/>

|Protagonist = Mr. Bean}}'''''Mr. Bean''''' (the Wii and Microsoft Windows versions are known as '''''Mr. Bean's Wacky World''''') is a 2007 platform video game based on an animated series of the same name. Developed by Beyond Reality Games and published by [[Blast! Entertainment]] for the PlayStation 2, Nintendo DS, Wii, and Microsoft Windows.
== Plot ==
Mr. Bean just wanted to put together a puzzle and because one piece was missing, he set off on a journey to find it.
== Gameplay ==
The gameplay is simple, you go ahead, open boxes with puzzles and collect cat food, which is 1000 on all levels, and run away from enemies and jump on platforms.
== Why Mr. Bean Should Take a Break from This ==
# The graphics look incredibly poor, even though it uses cel-shading and looks like a early PS1, 3DO or SEGA Saturn game. The game supposedly uses this effect, some objects do not, such as rocks or barrels. The graphics are definitely the worst in the DS version, even for its standards, The DS version of Super Mario 64 had much better graphics than this game and is, if not, '''better than the Nintendo 64 version'''. Not to mention the hideous looking character models as if they were made of a plywood curve.
# Speaking of this, there are '''no''' [[PlayStation 3]], [[PlayStation Portable]] and [[Xbox 360]] ports of them, when said consoles are already '''in the stores'''.
# Cheap animations, with the characters mostly moving and jumping in an extremely bizarre way. The animations are so simple that they consist only of waving your arms and legs and bending the character at times like a plasticine man.
# Sketchy and boring story. There is a lot going on in the cartoon, there are many other events. The game only limits to situations where Mr. Bean is missing a puzzle piece. Although you can get a lot of ideas from the series itself, the developers lacked a more interesting idea for the plot and came up with something that even a two-year-old could come up with.
#* '''Plot hole:''' In the intro, he shows that Mr. Bean only needs one element, but in the game you need to collect as many as 40.
# The controls are very slow to such an extent that at times you will have problems with jumping over something or running away from an enemy.
# There is quite an annoying situation in the DS version. When you turn on an option or go back to the title screen, the music restarts which in total may give the impression that the developers did not even want to test the game and ignored how and what works.
# Ear bleeding sound effects, especially the bees buzzing which sound like mosquitoes flying and collecting puzzles, actually, literally nothing sounds right and literally as if the creators didn't listen to anything and stuck to the event any sound effect they could think that no one would notice.
# Dull, boring, and repetitive level design that often drags on for too long, exactly what 5 levels out of 40 looks pretty much the same and each of them is just about moving forward or in other words the creators didn't even want to create something original and instead they created something at the level of a two year old and then they copied it 5 times.
# The spring pads in the levels are often unresponsive and can lead to cheap deaths so it can be considered that the developers did not even go through this game and did not come to the springs, if at all they tested this game in any way because the spring is underdeveloped, which makes the game practically unplayable.
# Immortal Enemies: No matter what you shoot at them, enemies won't die which is nothing but artificial pumping of difficulties and also the laziness of the creators because they did not want to program it so that the enemies would disappear, not to mention the fact that in many games for children you can eliminate enemies so the creators could do it without developers could do it without any problems.
# '''[[False advertising in games|False advertising]]''':
#* On the back cover of the game says you need to save Teddy from an unknown villain, but that doesn't happen in the game.
#* The cover features the live-action Mr. Bean (played by Rowan Atkinson), but the game is solely based on the animated series, so he doesn't appear anywhere else in the game.
#* The back cover on the PS2 and DS versions says the game has 12 levels even though there are only 9 levels. The PS2 version also mentioned that you have to collect 750 cat biscuits (450 on the DS version), where there are actually one thousand (600 on the DS version).
# The gameplay is painfully repetitive to the point that you won't even want to go back to it, because it's just about moving forward all the time and jumping over just a few obstacles, collecting puzzles and completing a few minigames that are so simple that they have virtually no gameplay. challenges and running away from enemies, and that's about it.
# The work of the camera is quite lazy because it does not rotate when the player turns the character, and instead you have to use special buttons to rotate the camera, which is inconvenient and may end up with you rolling on the walls out of reluctance or dying more than once.
# It's so lazy as the cutscenes are just clips from the animated show. In addition, the animations are of poor video quality and were released on CD, instead of DVD. It just seems that the developers of the game just took a shortcut and instead of creating their own cutscenes, they just copied them from the cartoon and didn't even improve the quality of these cutscenes, they just left them like that.
# Some areas have little to no checkpoints in between as a result, you will fall off the platform incredibly often, sometimes for no reason even with only one foot off it.
# Extremely poor jumping and platforming physics that creates a lot of [[Artificial difficulty|fake difficulty]] because you will barely be able to jump to the platform and even usually you won't be able to do it, so you will just fall into the abyss and you will die incredibly often as if the creators of this game didn't even test these levels.
# The game is just a [[Reskins|reskin]] of ''[[Agent Hugo: Lemoon Twist]]'' and overall it's a [[Crash Bandicoot]] rip-off.
# There is no dot point in Mr. Bean's name on all of the game titles normally, as if the designer of the game's logo missed something or didn't want to add it because he thought it was meaningless, but on the other hand, it's nice that he wanted to create something original instead of copying the logo of the animated series.
#The game has a very annoying bug that causes Mr. Bean to lock himself on objects or obstacles, and you can't get out of it, meaning that you'll have to restart the whole level.
== The Only Redeeming Quality ==
# The Nintendo Wii and Microsoft Windows versions (while still not good) are improved in comparison to their previous versions.
#* They have slightly better controls.
#* They have an extra area called "In the Wild".
#* They have more mini-games including "Garden/Sewer Racing", "Shooting Gallery", "Garden/Sewer/Wild/Factory Tennis", and more.
== Reception ==
''Mr. Bean'', while not reviewed by critics, has received a negative reception from online reviewers and fans of the series as well as youtubers. One of the users, ALEXFILI, said: ''"Buy or Rent? Personally, I'd say neither. You can pick up a DVD of the TV show, Film or Cartoon series and you would get so much pleasure from it. Please, don't buy this game. Don't support lame third party companies from producing rubbish like this."'' The game was also considered the worst Mr. Bean game and one of the worst games for both PlayStation 2, Wii, Microsoft Windows and DS.

|Protagonist = Mr. Bean}}'''''Mr. Bean''''' (the Wii and Microsoft Windows versions are known as '''''Mr. Bean's Wacky World''''') is a 2007 platform video game based on an animated series of the same name. Developed by Beyond Reality Games and published by [[Blast! Entertainment]] for the PlayStation 2, Nintendo DS, Wii, and Microsoft Windows.
== Plot ==
Mr. Bean just wanted to put together a puzzle and because one piece was missing, he set off on a journey to find it.
== Gameplay ==
The gameplay is simple, you go ahead, open boxes with puzzles and collect cat food, which is 1000 on all levels, and run away from enemies and jump on platforms.
== Why Mr. Bean Should Take a Break from This ==
# The graphics look incredibly poor, even though it uses cel-shading and looks like a early PS1, 3DO or SEGA Saturn game. The game supposedly uses this effect, some objects do not, such as rocks or barrels. The graphics are definitely the worst in the DS version, even for its standards, The DS version of Super Mario 64 had much better graphics than this game and is, if not, '''better than the Nintendo 64 version'''. Not to mention the hideous looking character models as if they were made of a plywood curve.
# Speaking of this, there are '''no''' [[PlayStation 3]], [[PlayStation Portable]] and [[Xbox 360]] ports of them, when said consoles are already '''in the stores'''.
# Cheap animations, with the characters mostly moving and jumping in an extremely bizarre way. The animations are so simple that they consist only of waving your arms and legs and bending the character at times like a plasticine man.
# Sketchy and boring story. There is a lot going on in the cartoon, there are many other events. The game only limits to situations where Mr. Bean is missing a puzzle piece. Although you can get a lot of ideas from the series itself, the developers lacked a more interesting idea for the plot and came up with something that even a two-year-old could come up with.
#* '''Plot hole:''' In the intro, he shows that Mr. Bean only needs one element, but in the game you need to collect as many as 40.
# The controls are very slow to such an extent that at times you will have problems with jumping over something or running away from an enemy.
# There is quite an annoying situation in the DS version. When you turn on an option or go back to the title screen, the music restarts which in total may give the impression that the developers did not even want to test the game and ignored how and what works.
# Ear bleeding sound effects, especially the bees buzzing which sound like mosquitoes flying and collecting puzzles, actually, literally nothing sounds right and literally as if the creators didn't listen to anything and stuck to the event any sound effect they could think that no one would notice.
# Dull, boring, and repetitive level design that often drags on for too long, exactly what 5 levels out of 40 looks pretty much the same and each of them is just about moving forward or in other words the creators didn't even want to create something original and instead they created something at the level of a two year old and then they copied it 5 times.
# The spring pads in the levels are often unresponsive and can lead to cheap deaths so it can be considered that the developers did not even go through this game and did not come to the springs, if at all they tested this game in any way because the spring is underdeveloped, which makes the game practically unplayable.
# Immortal Enemies: No matter what you shoot at them, enemies won't die which is nothing but artificial pumping of difficulties and also the laziness of the creators because they did not want to program it so that the enemies would disappear, not to mention the fact that in many games for children you can eliminate enemies so the creators could do it without developers could do it without any problems.
# '''[[False advertising in games|False advertising]]''':
#* On the back cover of the game says you need to save Teddy from an unknown villain, but that doesn't happen in the game.
#* The cover features the live-action Mr. Bean (played by Rowan Atkinson), but the game is solely based on the animated series, so he doesn't appear anywhere else in the game.
#* The back cover on the PS2 and DS versions says the game has 12 levels even though there are only 9 levels. The PS2 version also mentioned that you have to collect 750 cat biscuits (450 on the DS version), where there are actually one thousand (600 on the DS version).
# The gameplay is painfully repetitive to the point that you won't even want to go back to it, because it's just about moving forward all the time and jumping over just a few obstacles, collecting puzzles and completing a few minigames that are so simple that they have virtually no gameplay. challenges and running away from enemies, and that's about it.
# The work of the camera is quite lazy because it does not rotate when the player turns the character, and instead you have to use special buttons to rotate the camera, which is inconvenient and may end up with you rolling on the walls out of reluctance or dying more than once.
# It's so lazy as the cutscenes are just clips from the animated show. In addition, the animations are of poor video quality and were released on CD, instead of DVD. It just seems that the developers of the game just took a shortcut and instead of creating their own cutscenes, they just copied them from the cartoon and didn't even improve the quality of these cutscenes, they just left them like that.
# Some areas have little to no checkpoints in between as a result, you will fall off the platform incredibly often, sometimes for no reason even with only one foot off it.
# Extremely poor jumping and platforming physics that creates a lot of [[Artificial difficulty|fake difficulty]] because you will barely be able to jump to the platform and even usually you won't be able to do it, so you will just fall into the abyss and you will die incredibly often as if the creators of this game didn't even test these levels.
# The game is just a [[Reskins|reskin]] of ''[[Agent Hugo: Lemoon Twist]]'' and overall it's a [[Crash Bandicoot]] rip-off.
# There is no dot point in Mr. Bean's name on all of the game titles normally, as if the designer of the game's logo missed something or didn't want to add it because he thought it was meaningless, but on the other hand, it's nice that he wanted to create something original instead of copying the logo of the animated series.
#The game has a very annoying bug that causes Mr. Bean to lock himself on objects or obstacles, and you can't get out of it, meaning that you'll have to restart the whole level.
== The Only Redeeming Quality ==
# The Nintendo Wii and Microsoft Windows versions (while still not good) are improved in comparison to their previous versions.
#* They have slightly better controls.
#* They have an extra area called "In the Wild".
#* They have more mini-games including "Garden/Sewer Racing", "Shooting Gallery", "Garden/Sewer/Wild/Factory Tennis", and more.
== Reception ==
''Mr. Bean'', while not reviewed by critics, has received a negative reception from online reviewers and fans of the series as well as youtubers. One of the users, ALEXFILI, said: ''"Buy or Rent? Personally, I'd say neither. You can pick up a DVD of the TV show, Film or Cartoon series and you would get so much pleasure from it. Please, don't buy this game. Don't support lame third party companies from producing rubbish like this."'' The game was also considered the worst Mr. Bean game and one of the worst games for both PlayStation 2, Wii, Microsoft Windows and DS.

'''''Rayman Origins''''' is a platform video game developed and published by [[Ubisoft]] for the [[PlayStation 3]], [[Wii]], [[Xbox 360]], [[PlayStation Vita]], [[Microsoft Windows]], [[Nintendo 3DS]], and OS X. It is the fourth main installment in the ''Rayman'' series, and the first main installment since 2003's ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. It's the first ''Rayman'' game released since a long hiatus caused by the ''Raving Rabbids'' games.
==Plot==
One peaceful day, Rayman and his friends hang out at the Snoring Tree. Unknown to them, a hidden microphone makes their snoring and noises loud and obnoxious to the inhabitants of the Land of the Living Dead. Soon, they get fed up and invade the Glade of Dreams tossing the entire realm into chaos and imprisoning the nymphs and Electoons. Rayman and co. soon escape and the Magician from the first game offer them Electoons in exchange of Lums.
After rescuing all the nymphs, a mysterious fortress called "Moody Clouds" appears and the kings of each land mutate into horrible monsters. Once the kings are returned to normal and Rayman's friends reach the heart of Moody Clouds they find out that the Magician (a Rayman 1 character who gave the player hints throughout this game to collect Lums) was behind Moody Clouds' creation, and that he was a follower of Mr. Dark. It's implied he was using the Lums collected throughout the game by Rayman to power up his mechanical fortress and take over the Glade of Dreams.
With his cover up blown, Rayman and co. chase the Magician until he accidentally destroys the core of Moody Clouds, causing the entire fortress to explode. Rayman then goes to the Land of the Living Dead to return their queen to normal and restore peace to the Glade of Dreams.
==Why It Rocks==
# The graphics and art-style are absolutely beautiful, especially for 2011 standards. It's worth mentioning that thanks to Ubisoft's new engine, UbiArt Framework, and due to its art-style, character and enemies designs have looks like a cel-shaded animation, the color palette is really spectacular and appealing to see and it feels like you're playing an animated series, to the point that this game is often considered one of the best-looking games for consoles, especially on the [[Nintendo 3DS]], [[Wii]], and [[PlayStation 3]] versions.
# Challenging and difficult yet very fun gameplay. Some of the levels, such as the Tooth Gem chases are designed to require high paced platforming skills, Also, this game has a lot of fun, which would make you want to invite your friends over to your house to see how you play this game and also if you are playing with a friend or brother, they can attack their teammates for comic relief without actually harming them.
#* Also, there are unlimited lives and frequent checkpoints to ensure the game's high difficulty doesn't become frustrating.
#* Up to four players can play the game in a drop-in-drop-out co-op mode.
# Doors in the game have an eye ball that makes a hilarious groaning noise when you punch them.
# Fantastic and unforgettable soundtrack and music composed by Christophe Héral and Billy Martin. It would make you want to try to get it stuck in your head or play the levels longer to listen to the music, or even go to YouTube and download the music on your computer, phone or tablet.
# The controls are tight, fluid, and responsive and you can get used to it easily. Also, the swim controls are surprisingly good and keep you moving smoothly and without discomfort. Other examples include your vertical momentum stopping when you hit in the air (which can rarely be problematic) and when you run you will move faster than other platform games.
# The level designs are elegantly excellent, beautiful and fantastic, and best of all, it seems that it was designed by some teenage Rayman fans with help who have a style to make the levels perfect. There are many details that you can see in the game, they are both here by the standards of this genre. Arguably, the best examples are Jibberish Jungle and Sea of Serendipity, which are so unimaginably beautifully-designed that it literally looks like it was designed in over a month.
#* There are even Electoon levels that have an unimaginably adorable design that will give you too much cuteness to see them, since the Electoons seen in the levels are chubby, and they are terribly cute.
# Lots of hidden goods and rooms with Electoon cages.
# The Moskito riding levels are a fun homage to the first game.
# The cinematics of the game are absolutely entertaining. For example, in the beginning of the game, Rayman, Globox and the Teensies are resting but are making noise and the residents of the Land of the Livid Dead are bothered by the noises. An old zombie lady is particularly angry about it but an old man supports it, causing the lady to get more upset and start throwing too many things at him. Then, when Rayman wakes up with the old man's skull in his hand, everyone screams and Rayman and his companions attack but fail and are caged up. They are so funny that they almost resemble a Cartoon Network or Disney XD cartoon, making you to see many of them.
# Similar to [[Crash Bandicoot: Warped]], if you have finished a level, there will be a Time Trial Mode (where you can win an Electoon and record), and it is a surprisingly good addiction, even like the invasion modes in Rayman Legends. You can do speedruns and it's perfect for gamers if they want to set a world record.
# The player is rewarded for collecting lots of lums with cages at the end of each level.
# Good IA; the enemies from the original game return and the game introduces many enemies which are often just as goofy and colorful as the classic ones.
# It has a decent replay value, despite being repetitive, especially for players who like to play this game.
# Loading screens allow the player to control their character to keep them occupied while the game loads. And even then loading screens are short (except 3DS version).
# Wacky and fun boss fights that test your reflexes and are very creative.
# Many unlockable character skins, including Raymesis, Glombrox, and the Grand Minimus.
# Obtaining all the Tooth Gems unlocks a hidden, very challenging level ending with a fight against an additional boss.
==Bad Qualities==
# '''Plot hole:''' Why did the Magician turn evil?
# The only playable characters are Rayman, Globox, and the Teensies. So when playing with 4 players at least two will have to share a character skin, which can make it easy to get confused which is yours.
# While the 3DS version is a surprisingly good, spectacular and impressive version and the controls are solid, it has some flaws:
#* While the graphics are fine and the environments are still pleasing to look at, the game's resolution suffers due to the game being crunched onto the 3DS' small screen.
#* It has loud and unpleasant sound to listen to. Particularly, it sounds like a phone call or cell phone music from the 1990s with a 144p sound and may be irritating to listen to, especially if you are wearing headphones, similar to the terrible version of ''[[Resident Evil: Revelations 2]]'' on [[PlayStation Vita]].
#* Unlike other versions that have a loading screen to obtain a heart and move your character freely while loading, it is absent in this version due to the weak hardware.
#** To make matters worse, if you wear one skin or another, it will load, which is '''unacceptable''' in a platform game.
#* None of the Teensies are playable in the game, meaning Rayman and Globox are the only two types of characters that are playable.
#* Low frame rate which, although playable, leaves a little to be desired.
# Like the original, the game often twists from easy to hard. Many of the main levels are easy to beat, but the last Tricky Treasure and final levels are really hard.
# Collecting enough Lums to get a medal at all levels is very difficult because some of the Lums require perfect jumps to reach them, especially at Moskito levels. '''Also, dying will also force you to retrieve the Lums.'''
# Some fans and gamers might find the humor weak.
#* Speaking of which, the parts where the player saves the Nymphs with porno like music playing are very inappropriate even for Rayman standards.
#One aspect of controls is an issue: hitting multiple times in the air before landing will cause you to fall. This is normally fine, but this also affects you in wind, and during the second boss there are multiple waves of enemies you have to hit without being able to land, meaning the controls often kill you.

'''Wii''' (codenamed '''Nintendo Revolution'''), is a home gaming console manufactured by Nintendo and initially released in November 2006. It was the successor to the Nintendo GameCube and its successor was the Wii U. It competed with the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 during its lifetime. It was the home console that sold the most systems in the seventh generation of video game consoles unlike its successor. The original Wii and Wii Family Edition were discontinued on October 21, 2013, while the Wii Mini was discontinued on November 13, 2017. It is the best selling home console of the seventh generation and the best selling non-portable Nintendo console. It is also the third home console to sell over 100 million units, after the original PlayStation and PlayStation 2.

== Why Wii Would Like to Play It ==
# It popularized motion controls with the Wiimote, which didn't even have as many issues as the previous motion controllers. When given to developers who know what they're doing, motion controls greatly enhance gameplay without substituting standard controls.
# The Wiimote is also a very unique controller that's still simple to use. It can either be held vertically to point to the sensor bar to make the cursor appear on the screen or horizontally to hold it like a standard Nintendo Entertainment System controller, making it usable on 2D platform games like ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.
# The Nunchuk accessory that you plug right into the bottom of the Wiimote grants additionnal buttons on another hand and an analog stick that enhances the controls for 3D games.
# Despite its weaker hardware compared to its competitors, it was capable of running great looking games like ''Super Mario Galaxy'', ''Sonic Colors'', ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', and ''De Blob''.
# Huge game library of over 1500 games which includes masterpieces such as:
#* ''[[Wii Sports]]'', ''[[Wii Sports Resort]]'', ''[[Wii Play]]'', and ''[[Wii Party]]''
#* ''[[Xenoblade Chronicles]]''
#* ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' & ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2|its sequel]]''
#* ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''
#* ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''
#* ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''
#* ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''
#* ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'', ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', and ''Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition''
#* ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]''
#* ''[[Metroid Prime: Trilogy]]''
#* ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''
#* ''[[Animal Crossing: City Folk]]''
#* ''Wario Land: Shake It!''
#* ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]''
#* ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''
#* ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword]]''
#* ''[[Sin and Punishment: Star Successor]]''
#* ''[[Punch-Out!! (2009)|Punch-Out!!]]''
#* ''[[Excite Truck]] and [[Excitebots: Trick Racing]]''
#* ''[[Mario Party 8]]''
#* ''[[Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn]]''
#* ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]''
# The library also includes some great third-party games such as:
#* ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids|Rayman Raving Rabbids 1]]'', ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2|2]]'', and ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party|TV Party]]'' (3)
#* ''[[De Blob 2]]''
#* ''[[No More Heroes]]''
#* ''[[Ivy the Kiwi?]]''
#* ''[[Rayman Origins]]''
#* ''[[Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3]]''
#* ''[[SpongeBob SquigglePants]]'' (even though it requires the UDraw Tablet)
#* ''[[Okami]]''
#* ''[[Epic Mickey]]''
#* ''[[Sonic Colors]]''
#* ''[[Klonoa]]''
#* ''[[Little King's Story]]''
#* ''[[Cars]]''
#* ''[[Nights: Journey of Dreams]]''
#* ''[[Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros; Treasure]]''
#* ''[[Manhunt 2]]''
#* ''[[MLB Power Pros 2008]]''
#* ''[[MadWorld]]''
#* ''[[Muramasa: The Demon Blade]]''
#* ''[[Bit.Trip Complete]]''
# The original models are completely backwards compatible with Nintendo GameCube games and its controllers since they use a similar hardware. In addition, many Wii games are compatible with the GameCube controllers. However, the Wii Family Edition and Wii Mini are missing GameCube controller ports.
# Some games can connect with the Nintendo DS to unlock additional features.
# The system supports both wireless internet connection for multiplayer online video games and Bluetooth for wireless controllers. However, the Wii does not have an Ethernet port, but working LAN adapters got made for the Wii.
# It was also designed to be able to play games originally released on Nintendo's older systems, with the introduction of [[Virtual Console]] which allowed people to buy older games digitally on the Wii Store without buying physical copies for them ''and'' their platforms, meaning it can run games from every Nintendo console up to that point. This concept is also carried over to the 3DS, Wii U, and Switch (though limited, as only NES and SNES games are playable through a paid subscription to the Nintendo Switch Online service).
# The Classic Controller accessory allows you to play the Wii without motion controls and improves compatibility with Virtual Console games.
# Most Wiis came bundled with ''Wii Sports'', which outsold ''Super Mario Bros.'' as the most sold single-platform game.
#* It later got bundled with the games sequel, ''Wii Sports Resort''. Eventually, they got bundled on one disc.
# It is easy to hack and install The Homebrew Channel, which allows you to play classic games and back-up games. To see how to do so, click here.
# Some games would make use of the forecast channel so that the weather in the game would be the same as the weather where the player is located.
# The first Nintendo console with Miis, chibi-like custom avatars that can be used in the ''Wii'' series of games.
# The Wii is the cheapest Nintendo console you can buy used, with many sites listing it for around US '''$25.00'''.
# If you have homebrew, you can download WiiWare and Virtual Console WAD files onto your Wii and play them as if you bought them on the Wii Shop Channel.
# Amazingly, despite its discontinuation in 2013 (or 2017 in case of the Wii Mini), games continued to be released for it until '''2020'''. Its last game was ''Shakedown: Hawaii'', released on July 9th of that same year, albeit only in Europe.
== Qualities That Hit A Screen ==
# Its focus on motion control and lower hardware specs compared to its competitors made it an easy target for shovelware developers like Data Design Interactive and Destination Software. Unsurprisingly, this ended up being a factor in it's demise since it’s library was completely oversaturated with shovelware, and it became infamous for such.
#* Some people also didn't like the use of motion controls (probably because some games like ''Mario Party 8'' and many launch titles like the ''Sonic Storybook'' series seemingly relied too much on motion controls).
# Due to its weaker hardware, the Wii often got inferior ports of third-party games. More often than not, games would be ported directly from the PlayStation 2 rather than the Xbox 360 or PS3. Third-party developers often had a hard time making motion controls work as well. An example of this would be ''Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes,'' where the flight controls are very weird, and make flying harder than it should be.
#* With that being said, Wii versions of certain games like ''Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit'', were completely different from the Xbox 360 and the PS3 versions, due to it's hardware not being powerful enough to handle certain games.
#* The Wii cannot support high definition graphics, meaning games can only be played in 480i or 576i (PAL) instead of 720p or 1080p. Even the official component cables only change the output to 480p.
#* For some reason, Nintendo limited the size of Wiiware games to be not above 40 MB, which led to many developers not release their games on the Wii due to the large size such as Super Meat Boy.
# The Wii does not support software patches or updates, meaning that developers cannot fix bugs or add/remove/modify features to a game post-release. Especially with games with a lot of game-breaking glitches like ''Mario Kart Wii'', patching these glitches was absolutely out of question as a result.
# The Wii doesn't play DVDs by default due to support being cut during development, music CDs or Blu-ray discs (even though Blu-ray was introduced in 2006). The RVL-001 models modded with The Homebrew Channel can play DVDs with MPlayer CE or WiiMC. The RVL-101 and RVL-201 models cannot read DVDs at all due to disc drive changes.
# Just like on the Wii U and Switch, N64 Virtual Console titles are unable to emulate a controller pak, meaning that some features in some games are unavailable, such as ghost data in ''Mario Kart 64''.
# GameCube games still require a memory card to save as they can't save to the Wii's internal storage
# The later revisions are unnecessarily downgraded from the original model:
#* The Wii Family Edition lacks GameCube compatibility for cost reasons, but you can screw on the GameCube ports and memory card slots tightly to revert this downgrade. However, it might do damage to the console. The internet features, Wii Shop Channel, and SD card slot remain intact.
#* The Wii Mini also lacks GameCube compatibility. In addition, it also lacks internet connectivity (not that it matters too much now due to the Wii Shop closure in 2019), an SD card slot, and only has Composite video outputs, meaning that the resolution will be a lot lower. It was overall considered to be a pointless revision like the Game Boy Micro because it was not ''exactly'' cheap, since used Wiis were and still are often sold for half the Wii Mini's retailing price and have even more features anyway. To view all the reasons that the revision failed, see here.
# For some reason, even the Korean version of the Wii lacks GameCube compatibility, despite the GameCube ''also being released'' in that country.
# The Get Connected Video that comes with Wiis manufactured since October 2008 when you first set it up (Update 4.0) takes up '''1180 blocks of storage, which is over half the Wii's internal storage space!''' However, it is not bloatware, so it's possible to delete the channel upon starting it.
# There is a bug in the Nunchuck's analog stick that causes its neutral position to be messed up if tilted while booting up the Wii, connecting it to the Wiimote, starting a channel or returning back to the Wii menu. This causes the control of the stick to go to that direction and make unintended controls. This can be fixed by holding down the A, B, + and - buttons on the Wiimote to reset the neutral position.
# Downloadable games are bought for the console, rather than for an account, meaning that if the console broke, '''you would need to buy all the games again'''. Luckily, emulators for the Wii exist for homebrews. Examples are FCE Ultra GX, Frodo, Snes9x GX, Wii64, Hugo-Wii, Genesis Plus GX, SDL MAME Wii, GxGeo, blueMSX-Wii, and WADs are downloadable too using homebrew. The Wii U fixed this issue.
# Unlike its competitors, the Wii does not have a built-in Ethernet port and a separate LAN adapter has to be bought to get access to faster network speeds. Even the Xbox and slim PlayStation 2 from a generation before came with built-in Ethernet ports.
# Many of its services have been discontinued due to the console being discontinued a long time ago. As a result, about half of the starting channels don't function anymore.
#* Nintendo discontinued the ''Wii Shop Channel'' on January 31, 2019 so you can no longer buy WiiWare and Virtual Console games. However, the Wii U Transfer Tool channel and ''The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword'' Save Data Update Channel are still available if the user wants to transport data to the Wii U or if you think of playing ''Zelda: Skyward Sword'' again.
#* The Wii versions of streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu all went offline with the ''Wii Shop Channel'' so shows and movies are no longer viewable through them.
#* The YouTube app was discontinued on June 27, 2017.
#* The Wii's Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, along with the Nintendo DS's, was discontinued on May 20, 2014 due to the shutdown of multiplayer services from GameSpy, so online play on Wii and DS games no longer work without homebrew.
#* While discontinued on June 27, 2013, The Forecast Channel, News Channel, Everybody Votes Channel, Wii Speak Channel, and more can be restored with RiiConnect24 or Wiimmfi. Japanese Exclusive Channels like Wii No Ma and Damae, on the other hand, are more complex to restore with WiiLink24 and following the instructions wrong can crash your Wii.
== Maintenance ==
# Make sure that you play at a proper distance and well lined up with the Wii's sensor bar to improve the motion control features. The results will still vary depending on the game, however.
# Treat your Nunchuk and Wiimote carefully so their connectors won't get damaged.
#* If you're not careful, or if you're not wearing the wrist strap, your Wii Remote could accidentally fly off your hand and break something as well as damage itself. Hold the Wiimote and Nunchuk tightly.
# The hardware is very sensitive, an example is when SWEGTA'S RVT-H Wii got bricked because he pressed the home menu as the game crashed during the intro cutscene of Bait on a beta build of ''Bully: Scholarship Edition'', and trying to go to the Home Menu during the cutscene as the game crashed actually BROKE the bluetooth module. As the module is required to boot the system, the console refuses to boot until it is repaired. It is recommended that you do not switch to the Home Menu or power off the console while in a channel or game unless it has frozen or crashed.
# The Wii Remote and Nunchuk buttons can stick over time. To fix this problem, follow the steps below.
=== To clean sticking buttons: ===
# You need an unused toothbrush (one that has been opened from its package, but not used) and hot tap water. (60-70 degrees F) Do not use boiling water, soap, or detergent, as they can damage the Wiimote and Nunchuk even more.
# Dip the toothbrush into the water and shake off any excess amounts. Carefully scrub the bristles into the cracks of all the buttons, moving the brush in a back and forth motion, getting every nook and cranny.
# After all of the buttons have been scrubbed, let air dry for at least 2 hours.
# Test the buttons and repeat the procedure if it is necessary.
# If they still do not work after trying, contact Nintendo for assistance.
== Reception ==
Despite getting strong criticism over its weaker hardware compared to competitors and focus on motion controls, the Wii was very well-received as it appealed to more than just hardcore gamers, and because of that, it actually outsold both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 with 101.63 million units sold, thus making it the best-selling Nintendo home console until the Switch surpassed it in 2022.
Many clone consoles were made to rip off the motion controls, most notably the Wireless60. Sony and Microsoft themselves even made the PlayStation Move and Xbox Kinect respectively to compete with the Wii.
Unlike its competitors, the PS3 and 360 which were being sold at a loss during its early days, the Wii was a huge success since day one.
== Trivia ==
* The Nunchuk bears a striking resemblance to the Nintendo 64 controller's analog stick handle.
* The original Classic Controller is almost identical to the SNES controller.
* While the Family Edition lacks GameCube ports, the console mold still has cutouts for the GameCube controller ports and memory card slots, but the lid is sealed shut. The same cannot be said for the Wii Mini.

'''''Rayman Legends''''' is a 2013 platform video game developed by Ubisoft Montpellier and published by [[Ubisoft]]. It is the fifth main title in the ''Rayman'' series and the direct sequel to the 2011 game ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. The game was released for [[Microsoft Windows]], [[PlayStation 3]], [[Wii U]], [[Xbox 360]], [[PlayStation Vita]], [[PlayStation 4]], [[Xbox One]], [[Nintendo Switch]], and Stadia.
==Plot==
Rayman and his friends fell into a hundred-year-long nap. During that time, the nightmares took control of the Glade of Dreams and imprisoned the Teensies, while the Magician splitted into 5 beings known as the Dark Teensies. Murphy awakens the legendary heroes who, along with their new ally Barbara the barbarian, must rescue the Teensies and defeat the Dark Teensies.
==Why It's Legendary==
#This game is a massive improvement over ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' (on itself a great game), with extremely updated graphics, more levels, purple lums that give you double lums and improved controls, which still has the same charm and a perfect return.
#The controls are improved in almost every way while remaining identical. Momentum is no longer halted when attacking in the air, momentum and distance from small attacks are increased, you can hit while walking without stopping, and you no longer plummet after attacking more than once. You can crush on the spot without jumping first, the super punch winds up MUCH faster, and the turnaround speed is quicker. The swimming controls remain identical, but you can now attack without a speed boost if you want, making it less difficult to avoid hazards. Finally, enemies no longer bubbilise, meaning the pace is faster and you can't lose lums unfairly. Even the mosquito controls are more responsive in the origins levels.
#The graphics and art-style are still absolutely beautiful, on par with ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', ''[[Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time]]'', or even ''[[Hollow Knight]]''. The color palette is very vivid and quite appealing to look at. Also, the character designs were improved, as you see them you will notice that they look extremely stylish and polished. You would even want to look at them for so long by just playing the game for a long hours, or even watching videos and stopping them on YouTube just to look at them, to the point that this game is often considered one of the best-looking games for consoles.
#Incredible and fun gameplay, Each world includes unique gimmicks to make them different from the rest. For example, two levels in Fiesta de los Muertos have the players literally become ducks (which make the characters look very hilarious) through the duration of the level, which would make you want to invite your friends to your house to see how you play this game.
#The amount of levels is insanely good, unlike other modern platform games like ''[[Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time]]''. That game had 100 levels, while ''Rayman Legends'' has 28 levels, 28 invasions mode, 2 levels to have Barbara costumes in 6 worlds (that in total there are 10 levels to have Barbara skins), 6 music levels (including in the 8-bit version that in total are 12 music levels), which in total is '''122''' levels if you count the 72 platform levels, 40 levels of ''Rayman Origins'' and 10 bosses. All this means that you will complete the game in less than 15 hours.
#Great and fantastic soundtrack composed by Christophe Héral. It would make you want to try to get it to your head or play the levels longer to listen to the music, or even go to YouTube and download the music on your computer, phone or tablet.
#700 Teensies (826 Teensies in the Nintendo Switch version) to rescue, the latter of this could give you a character.
#At the end of each level, if the player finds enough Lums they obtain Lucky Tickets, which give the player more lums, teensies, creatures, and unlock ''Rayman Origins'' levels.
#All the power ups from the previous game are unlocked from the start.
#Just like with the previous game, the game has unlimited lives and frequent checkpoints to balance its difficulty.
#The introduction of Barbara effectively gives 4 different playable characters (not counting alternate skins), making it easier for players to tell their characters from the rest in co-op mode.
#The level designs are unbelievably fantastic, very stylized, but also unimaginably beautiful; that have excellent use, and at worst it looks like it was designed by 5 college students skilled in designing in 5 weeks, there are a lot of details that you can see in the game, which are both here for the standards of this genre. The best is Fiesta de los Muertos, which is so creatively impressively-designed.
#Murphy can interact with switches and obstacles to assist the player in many levels. In the Wii U, PS Vita, and Nintendo Switch versions an additional player can take control of Murphy with the Gamepad allowing a total of 5 players at once. The other versions control Murphy with a specified button which makes the Murphy mechanic quick-reflex based.
#Like ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'', There is a famous glitch called "Murphy Reset Glitch"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knL0CPkH2VE ''Rayman Legends'' - ''Murphy Reset Glitch'']</ref>, and not only that, it also works for the daily and weekly challenges in "The Endless Pit: As Far As You Can!" and you can easily win a diamond cup, which glitch is really useful for some people and players.
#*Better yet, the glitch has never been patched, which is worth it and also using this glitch in challenges is not bannable!
#Lots of secrets within the levels, including two puzzle minigames in every level which reward the player with teensies when completed.
#Surprisingly good and awesome 2.5D boss battles.
#Invasion stages have you complete alternate versions of regular levels with enemies from other worlds within 40 seconds, what it does is to rescue tiny ones before they fly so as not to be late.
#*Also, many players beat quite challenging world records, just like Challenges.
#The addition of Rhythm based levels, which are unlocked by defeating the main bosses. Rhythm Levels also have harder version where special effects affect your view so you must guide yourself with the music's tempo to navigate the level.
#*Observant players will also notice that some of the music used in the rhythm stages are loosely (some more obviously) based off of well known real life songs, including "Black Betty", "Antisocial", and a mariachi rendition of "Eye of the Tiger" (That partially music is a movie from the 80s called ''Rocky III'') of all songs.
#The Kung Foot minigame offers a fun multiplayer game.
#*Also, in the Nintendo Switch version, you can play a new Kung-Foot and CPU to practice, which makes it very enjoyable to play.
#'''Great replay value:''' You can play many times you want and that you will never be bored for many years, the fun and entertaining experience and the great content that this game has and even better, for the first time, it has an online challenge mode (see # 22).
#Large amount of unlockable character skins.
#*Or also Champion Ray that you can unlock if you play every day and get a ton of diamond cups and most importantly '''you can be VIP!'''.
#Weekly and Daily online challenges, which adds more replay value.
#*Speaking of which, Daily and Weekly Challenges are a perfect addiction to winning too many cups the next day, and sometimes players will challenge you to a challenge for a record, and to this day, players continue to play these fun and addictive challenges.
#*Like ''[[Dragon's Dogma]]'', ''Resident Evil: Revelations 1'' & ''2'', and ''[[Apex Legends]]'', an online subscription service is not required to play the challenges online.
#On the Nintendo Switch version, the WiiU style levels where you control Murphy are made into alternate versions on a new world, "''Murphy's Touch''", allowing those levels to also be played regularly.
#*Also exclusive to the Nintendo Switch version, '''all the characters''' that were once exclusive to each platform like the Assassin's Creed and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell skins now all come together on the Switch. Making it the only version to include every single character skin ever in the game.
#The character designs in the game are very unique and eye-candy and are varied in color scheme. Examples include Raymesis (being the most popular skin), Selena, Raybox, and Golden Teensy. These designs help make the game stand out from other Platform games and give the game a different feel.
#The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions have no loading times, for example, if you enter any level or invasion or to enter to put a skin, it will not load immediately.
#40 levels from Origins are included for nothing on top of the base game, which is 2/3 of the original game, fully updated with the new artstyle, exclusive features, and teensies. Most of the main levels are there, including all bosses and mosquito levels, and half the tricky treasure stages.
==Bad Qualities==
#The plot is dull, unappealing, and close-to-nonexistent. What it's basically about is that 5 Dark Teensies invade the Glade of Dreams. Although it may be somewhat flashy, there are many flaws, for example:
#*Repetitive pacing, since in the levels there is the Dark Teensie trying to capture the female Teensie, what makes her a "damsel-in-distress" and also another example is when the Dark Teensie is putting gasoline on the wings and then calling the monsters, however, its absolutely tiring, since it repeats the same time and again, since there are 12 times, more with 6 times capturing female Teensie and 6 times calling the monsters.
#*Compared to Origins there is a lack of cohesion and progressiveness. No abilities are unlocked this time, and the levels and worlds are ALL completely isolated with no linking segments like the mosquito or ending areas in origins. There are also no special rare items like the skull teeth that are hard to get but unlock a special level. This further enhances the lack of a plot.
#*'''Very disappointing ending''': unlike other bosses when you defeat them, they show you a funny cinematic, since after defeating the final boss, it will not show you a cinematic after defeating him and also when you hit the last Dark Teensie everyone is stuck in space. The holes in the moon, while hilarious, this makes it unsatisfying and boring to watch.
#Sometimes, the effects used during the 8-bit Rhythm Levels can get eye-straining, especially Orchestral Chaos 8-bit Edition.
#The PlayStation Vita version is the record holder for the slowest loading times.
#The difficulty is more fun focused than origins, and as such tends to be too easy in places. Unlike origins the final reward is not an ultimate difficult level, but simply more music levels.
#additionally, all of the rayman origins levels that are included were made significantly easier, by removing most hazards and enemies, and adding platforms. This may upset those who desire a challenge.
#Nitpick: some Origins levels aren't 100% accurate, in that the level best original score has a secret area that's swapped out for a later one for no reason, and the levels freaking flipper and swimming with the stars are played in reverse order to their Origins appearances. Finally, nearly all level select areas use music taken directly from Origins, but the desert of dijiridoos one uses a brand new song exclusive to that area, which is strange that they gave it special treatment.
#Some of the level choices from rayman origins aren't the best options, while some of the better levels are left out. Also the music played when saving a cage in Origins is strangely removed from legends, instead being limited to the mosquito levels only.
#Nowadays, there may be some daily and extreme challenges are very frustrating and difficult, Although the "As far as you can!" they are not as difficult as the others.
#*Like ''[[Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy]]'', Diamond Cups are very hard, inconsistent and sometimes insufferable to obtain due to his reward of 50 points for awesomeness, and this makes obtaining Diamond Cups more '''difficult''', as records increase further.
#*Grab them Quickly!, while not a terrible challenge, is considered really inferior and boring (except for The Dojo).
#Although the difficulty is balanced and a funny AI, The AI is extremely lazy, very delayed, mediocre, and it even feels unfinished. For example, in almost all levels, there are some enemies that are just standing and nothing else, and if you try to chase you, it will not move either, it will just hit you without moving, which becomes easier than balanced. Fortunately, the bosses have decent AI.
#*Also, the levels where you control Murphy can get frustrating because the AI controlling your character tends to be uncooperative and sometimes extremely unresponsive. This makes the Wii U/PS Vita/Switch (Handheld mode only) Murphy levels rather unfun compared to other editions. The Switch port of those levels can't be played in TV mode.
#The "Definitive Edition" was only released on the Switch, locking other platforms out of its extra content.
#*Also, despite said version being 'Definitive', it has issues. It does not have instant load times like the PS4/XBO/PC ports of the game, camera mode (despite the Switch and Xbox One allow to share the capture), and removed the ability to warp to the great hall for no reason at all, making it more annoying to retrace your steps.
#The amount of grinding required to get the final characters and trophies is ridiculous and not fun.
#The music, while really good, is somewhat lacking compared to Origins.

===Critical reception===
''Rayman Legends'' was met with an overwhelmingly positive reception from critics and users alike. The game has been widely praised for its level design, graphics, controls, gameplay, soundtrack, and character design were highly praised.
On OpenCritic, the game received a rating of "Mighty" an average score of 90/100 and a 97% critics recommend, based on 62 reviews.<ref name="OC" />
This game along with prequel are frequently praised as being "some of the best 2D platformers ever made that aren't ''Mario'' or ''Sonic''" and were very well received by the fans for having ''Rayman'' return to its platforming roots.
==Trivia==
*The game was originally going to be a Wii U exclusive title but due to the console's poor sales, Ubisoft decided to delay the game and release the game with the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions simultaneously. It did infuriate some fans because the Wii U version was already finished.
*This game was announced at Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2012 for Wii U and was planned for release during the console's launch window. However, the game was delayed to February 2013 in order to finish the game on time, and due to the financial failure of ''ZombiU'', the release was delayed again by six months and the game was made multi-platform.
*Mysteriously, they were planning an other world called "Chateau Dracula", which is Dracula's castle, but. Michel Ancel, the responsible from the creator of Rayman, revealed the design he was in, but it was eventually scrapped due to time constraints.
==Game Tips==
#If you want to learn to do "Ybyups", [https://youtu.be/n-DRqhyw2xc this guide will explain it to you].
#If you want to have a diamond cup you have to see that it is the distance of Endless Pit, but it has to be ONLY daily and weekly challenge, [https://youtu.be/X-WklDIoINs you just have to do this glitch].
#The rewards of the cups will give you almost during the day as the normal and daily challenge at 5:15 a.m. and in the extreme challenge and extreme daily like 5:30 a.m.

}}
'''''Pizza Dude''''' is an action game developed by [[Team6 Game Studios]] and published by Frogster Interactive for Microsoft Windows on June 10, 2005. The game re-utilizes Team6's engine for ''Manhattan Chase''. Most assets were later reused in ''[[Motorbike Challenge]]'' by Team6, such as the map and the driving system. The game is the second most recognizable and also the most infamous game right after FlatOut 3: Chaos & Destruction.
== Plot ==
The pizzeria owner ran away and went out of business due to debt and entrusted the mission to one of his nephews to continue his career for him, that's the whole story.
== Gameplay ==
The gameplay is as simple as building a flail, you make a pizza, sit in the vehicle and drive it to the customer and come back, you do the whole thing over and over again.
== Why It Makes You Not Want to Order Pizza ==
# The menu is literally the same as in other Team6 games, the absolute only thing that has been changed in relation to other games from this studio is the background and nothing else clearly showing the low budget that went into this production.
# Terrible graphics for a 2005 game that resembles a game released in 1996, the textures are really low resolution and the models are quite lazy and even angular at times. Even Need for Speed 2 has nicer graphics than this, but the worst part is the faces that look like they've been heavily elongated or run over with a roller.
# The intro does not explain the plot at all, but only the interior of our pizzeria. To know the plot, you have to look inside the box, and the plot itself is also very simple.
# In some computers, the game is unreliable and crashes constantly. If you fail to deliver a pizza on time the game crashes after the screen turns white.
# The car can push you forward indefinitely as long as you're in front of the car, and you don't die or get knocked off when a car pushes you literally as if the developers didn't care what the player does and forgot to refine even the most basic things.
# Awful vehicle handling as vehicles either turn very slowly or oversteer causing the player to hit walls a lot and on top of that if you fall you can't get up normally though you can fortunately reset the position of the vehicle but you should still be able to get back up normally.
# The city is empty and lifeless. There are no actual models of people to be found anywhere in the city except you, a basketball player in an alley, a man inside an apartment, and a priest in a church, which is almost like ''[[London Cab Challenge]]''.
#* The city has also been reused in ''Motorbike Challenge'', which was released a year later.
# The gameplay is painfully repetitive, you just make the pizza, get in the vehicle and deliver the pizza to its destination, then go back to your pizzeria, and so on and so on until the end of the game.
# Somehow you can't climb small slopes in the first gear, but you can while going in reverse which in total is a lack of logic and a great shortcoming and you can get the impression that the game was untested.
# The character animations are really terrible. It is especially visible when you fall, jump, and run because they consist of just a few frames of animation just like [[Bubsy 3D]] which was released almost 10 years earlier.
# If you go to a high enough place and you repeatedly press the jump button, you can't fall because of the invisible ceiling that was added for some unknown reason and that the player is able to jump over, so that he is able to levitate over the city and the game becomes absolutely unplayable.
# You can randomly find a piece of a wall that you can always crash into, even though it's invisible from one side normally almost like Big Rigs except you can't walk through buildings, collision detection is really bad and you get the impression that the developers don't care if the player will be able to walk through walls or not.
# The city is filled to the brim with advertisements for other Team6 games, such as ''[[Taxi Racer New York 2]]'' or ''Manhattan Chase'' and clearly shows the selfishness of the developers and the attempt to force the purchase of other games from Team 6, no other company does.
# A lot of bugs glitches, for example you can often go beyond the map, especially if you fall into the river and in the garden of one of the residences and there are so many bugs and shortcomings that you can get the impression that the game was made in a hurry.
# The box textures are stolen from ''[[Half-life (video game)|Half-life]]'' and this is already a violation of copyright and at the same time a great laziness because instead of creating your own, you are stealing from someone else.
# The game is so short that you can even finish it in 3 minutes, in the "videos" section there is a speedrun to prove it.
== Redeeming Qualities ==
# At least the interface is well done and all the information is given on a plate so the player won't have to think about anything.
# An unnatural face length can be extremely hilarious.

== Reception ==
The game was universally panned by European critics. ''Pizza Dude'' received awards for 2nd place in the worst game of the year by 4Players for 2006 and the worst game of 2006 by PC Powerplay (Germany). The Russian website, Absolute Games (ag.ru) rated the game 1/100, summarizing "But it’s better not to suffer, press Alt + F4 and throw Pizza Dude to where the rotten pizza usually flies". It is one of the most recognizable and hated games from Team 6 Game Studios next to FlatOut 3: Chaos & Destrustion.

Five Nights at Freddy's (often abbreviated as FNaF) is a point-and-click horror game developed and published by Scott Cawthon. The first game was released on August 8th, 2014 for Microsoft Windows, initially on IndieDB and later on Steam. Since its release, the game has spawned multiple sequels. In 2018, Cawthon announced that his next FNaF games would be developed by a studio that initially didn't say their name but it was later revealed when Help Wanted was revealed on a State of Play in March 2019. The franchise received widespread critical acclaim and is often considered one of the best indie horror franchises of all time and is ranked on multiple lists among the best horror game franchises of all time. This will focus on the Clickteam era, when the games were made with Clickteam Fusion, all of them being made by Scott Cawthon himself, which ran from 2014 to 2018.

Why It's Ready for Freddy
Overall
The franchise is heavily responsible for popularizing horror point-and-click games and possibly the entire indie horror genre. You have to thank this franchise for the fact that games like Tattletail, Bendy and the Ink Machine, CASE: Animatronics and Boogeyman exist.
The concept of a night guard surviving from 4 possessed animatronics is amazing, which is inspired by Chuck E. Cheese's.
Fantastic lore and is considered one of the best and most interesting lore in a video game. Rather than telling you directly like in most games, the story is told through easter eggs and mini-games and players have to analyze it.
Because of this way of understanding the story, the franchise is very popular for spawning a massive amount of theories about the lore. There's a reason why YouTubers like MatPat (a.k.a The Game Theorists) became so popular.
Not only is the lore fantastic, but it also popularized the use of hidden easter eggs and secrets to reveal the lore in several indie games.
Thanks to the popularity of the franchise, it spawned a huge and devoted fanbase and made tons of FNaF fan games, and while most are poorly done, there are also fan games that are equally as good as the original games themselves.
Even though the games used the Clickteam Engine, which was considered outdated, the graphics are very good, especially in later FNaF games, such as Sister Location and Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator (FNaF 6).
The gameplay is simplistic yet enjoyable. While using the mouse to control the game doesn't sound exciting, it becomes challenging in later nights. The gameplay also changes in each entry, with Sister Location changing the furthest.
Despite the gameplay, the controls in the console and mobile versions are pretty good and don't feel clunky.
Five Nights at Freddy's 1
Before Sister Location, it was the only FNaF game to be available in widescreen.
Five Nights at Freddy's 2
It has more animatronics than the first game combined, such as the Toy animatronics, the Withered animatronics, and the Shadow animatronics.
It introduces us to The Puppet, one of the creepiest animatronics in the franchise.
The cutscenes that take place between nights are disturbing thanks to the moody and dark lighting and horrifically distorted sounds of laughter and singing.
It was the first game in the series to introduce 8-bit mini-games, which would become a staple in the series.
Five Nights at Freddy's 3
The concept of having one animatronic tracking the entire pizzeria is admittedly a bit creepy, especially when you realize the origin of it.
The Phantom Animatronics do a good job of being distractions, helping the difficulty to increase.
The graphics are an improvement over the first game and the second game.
It's the first game in the series to feature multiple endings, in this case, two. And these two endings are the bad ending and the good ending.
Night 6 is no longer just a typical night but much harder, and instead explains a lot about the lore, and that is, the Fazbear Fright was burned down and Springtrap survived the incident.
Five Nights at Freddy's 4
The graphics are now much more realistic, making the gameplay a lot scarier.
Good Nightmare Animatronics designs, which do fit the style of the game.
Simply gives the backstory of the Afton family and one of the reasons why William Afton murdered the children at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.
On that topic, we finally get to see how the creation of Golden Freddy came to be, as it happened in the most disturbing, yet depressing way: The Crying Child gets his frontal lobe bitten by Fredbear thanks to the Spring Locks in the animatronic and due to being hold onto by Michael Afton and his friends as a prank.
Up until Sister Location, this was deemed the most disturbing game in the series, thanks to the terrifying sounds and atmosphere, which were inspired by A Nightmare in Elm Street.
The Halloween DLC introduces more animatronics and a harder version of Fun With Plushtrap called Fun With Balloon Boy.
Sister Location
The gameplay improved tremendously, as instead of being stuck in an office, you now have to do multiple tasks each night, which makes the game more fun and far less repetitive.
The lore expanded tremendously and was done very well and in a different, as instead of using easter eggs and secret minigames, the game now tells you stuff while at the same time, you have to analyze the secrets of the game.
Speaking of which, it is by far the installment with the most amount of theories due to it being a major contributor to the lore.
The graphics have improved tremendously and are much better than ever.
The jumpscares are also a massive improvement over the cheap ones from FNaF 1, 2, 3, and, to some extent, 4. They have a lot of variety and don't use just one cheap sprite with one jumpscare and put them in every animatronic, rather, they all have different animations, with different jumpscare sounds, which are scary and make the jumpscares much scarier.
Like Five Nights at Freddy's 4, it gives the backstory of the Afton family and also gives the backstory of Michael Afton, one of the most important characters in the lore.
The Custom Night is no longer just a simple bonus for completing the entire game, but an important mode to expand the lore.
The ending in the Golden Freddy mode (V. Hard) from the Custom Night is an excellent way to tease Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator.
Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator
It is the first mainline FNAF game to completely be free to play.
Springtrap returns from FNAF 3, and is as scarier as ever thanks to his design, however, he only appears during the ventilation shift.
Helpy is a fun character who provides the game's mood whiplash from the disturbing imagery.
It's the first game to feature more than two endings and isn't clunky like Five Nights at Freddy's 3.
The Completion Ending is excellent and would have been a good way to end the lore if it didn't continue past this game.
Ultimate Custom Night
The concept of a giant custom night with most of the animatronics from the previous games with no limits is a great idea and is great for people who want challenges.
Like Sister Location and FFPS, instead of using a regular mouse to play the game, you now have to use the entire keyboard to play, which contributes to the game being fun.
There are 50 animatronics in the game, making it the best character roster in the entire franchise.
Like Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, the game is free to play, although it's paid on mobile and console.
Jumpscared Qualities
Overall
While the gameplay is simple yet enjoyable and fun, it can be boring at times, especially in early nights. However, it becomes more challenging in later nights.
The earlier mobile versions (the ones developed by Scott Cawthon himself) are mediocre, due to downgraded effects, the jumpscares missing several frames, and more aggressive animatronics. Thankfully, they've been removed and replaced by the ones remastered by Clickteam USA.
Another annoying thing is that both versions of the mobile ports feature microtransactions despite being paid (except Sister Location, which doesn't have them) and have a cheat mode that removes all the challenges in the game but thankfully they're pretty optional, to the point they're not needed.
Due to the nature of being extremely hidden, the lore, despite being great, is also confusing at times due to it not being very direct. The later installments (SL and FFPS) are connected to the lore of the first 4 games, making it more confusing to newcomers.
Much like Among Us (albeit it's inverted), Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator and Ultimate Custom Night are free on PC but they're paid on mobile and console due to the latter versions being coded by Clickteam to converting said platforms.
The jumpscares from FNaF 1 and 2 are rather cheap and lose their scare factor shortly after you progress. Although the game is still pretty scary.
This is also noticeable in FNaF 3, where the jumpscares feel less scary due to the annoying use of J Major from the Phantom animatronics, this issue was also carried over to Ultimate Custom Night.
For some reason, before Sister Location, many of the games were only playable in Fullscreen, and stretched Widescreen, while this could be due to want for some gamers by having a more primitive atmosphere of said games, it feels a little bit cheap since the first game was Widescreen.
The jumpscares themselves can come off as annoying nowadays.
Five Nights at Freddy's 2
Artificial difficulty: Despite the game telling you to use the mask to avoid the jumpscares from the Toy Animatronics and most of the Withered Animatronics, you will still get jumpscared when you put it. This is because the game wants you to put it instantly, which is extremely difficult for those who aren't fast enough to avoid the animatronics. As a result, this causes cheap deaths and tons of jump scares.
The graphics, while decent, feel a bit inferior to FNaF 1's graphics.
Five Nights at Freddy's 3
The jumpscares are underwhelming at best.
If the Phantom Animatronics are excluded due to being hallucinations, therefore, there is only one animatronic in the game, which is pretty barebones.
The way to get a good ending is pretty difficult: To get said ending, you must play ALL the minigames each night, which are scattered through secrets and easter eggs.
Despite what WIR#2 says, the game is really easy to beat, making it one of the easiest entries in the series.
Even though the graphics are an improvement over FNaF 2, they're unfortunately ruined and they're mainly disliked due to the ugly color palette, as well as the game overall looking unappealing.
Five Nights at Freddy's 4
The fact that you have to listen closely to hear breathing is underwhelming, not helped by the fact that the loudness of the jumpscares could destroy your eardrums.
Some of the designs of the animatronics look less scary, especially Plushtrap which looks more cute than terrifying.
Sister Location
One word and one number: Night 4. It is considered the most difficult night of the entire game due to it wanting the player to click on the spring locks, which is extremely difficult due to the player not being that fast to click them all in once.
Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator
For some reason, the game had a lower age rating than previous titles, despite containing jumpscares and blood.
Ultimate Custom Night
There are plenty of missing animatronics in the game, such as Funtime Freddy, Bon Bon, Withered Freddy, Withered Foxy, and others.
Due to the game's heavy focus on gameplay and challenge, the jumpscares stop being quickly scary and look cheesy at times.
Reception
On Metacritic, the reception of the games is varied, ranging from 78 to 52. However, the user scores are much higher. Outside of Metacritic, the franchise received widespread critical acclaim and is often considered one of the greatest horror franchises of all time. It was praised for its scary atmosphere, great graphics, simple yet enjoyable gameplay, and most importantly, the impressive lore. It was featured on multiple Top 10 Best Horror Game Franchises of All Time lists.
Trivia
There was a question most fans asked back when UCN was released, and that is if the game was canon or not, although some theories confirm that the game was meant to be a purgatory/hell for William Afton for murdering the kids.

Five Nights at Freddy's (often abbreviated as FNaF) is a point-and-click horror game developed and published by Scott Cawthon. The first game was released on August 8th, 2014 for Microsoft Windows, initially on IndieDB and later on Steam. Since its release, the game has spawned multiple sequels. In 2018, Cawthon announced that his next FNaF games would be developed by a studio that initially didn't say their name but it was later revealed when Help Wanted was revealed on a State of Play in March 2019. The franchise received widespread critical acclaim and is often considered one of the best indie horror franchises of all time and is ranked on multiple lists among the best horror game franchises of all time. This will focus on the Clickteam era, when the games were made with Clickteam Fusion, all of them being made by Scott Cawthon himself, which ran from 2014 to 2018.
==Why It's Ready for Freddy==
Overall
The franchise is heavily responsible for popularizing horror point-and-click games and possibly the entire indie horror genre. You have to thank this franchise for the fact that games like Tattletail, Bendy and the Ink Machine, CASE: Animatronics and Boogeyman exist.
The concept of a night guard surviving from 4 possessed animatronics is amazing, which is inspired by Chuck E. Cheese's.
Fantastic lore and is considered one of the best and most interesting lore in a video game. Rather than telling you directly like in most games, the story is told through easter eggs and mini-games and players have to analyze it.
Because of this way of understanding the story, the franchise is very popular for spawning a massive amount of theories about the lore. There's a reason why YouTubers like MatPat (a.k.a The Game Theorists) became so popular.
Not only is the lore fantastic, but it also popularized the use of hidden easter eggs and secrets to reveal the lore in several indie games.
Thanks to the popularity of the franchise, it spawned a huge and devoted fanbase and made tons of FNaF fan games, and while most are poorly done, there are also fan games that are equally as good as the original games themselves.
Even though the games used the Clickteam Engine, which was considered outdated, the graphics are very good, especially in later FNaF games, such as Sister Location and Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator (FNaF 6).
The gameplay is simplistic yet enjoyable. While using the mouse to control the game doesn't sound exciting, it becomes challenging in later nights. The gameplay also changes in each entry, with Sister Location changing the furthest.
Despite the gameplay, the controls in the console and mobile versions are pretty good and don't feel clunky.
Five Nights at Freddy's 1
Before Sister Location, it was the only FNaF game to be available in widescreen.
Five Nights at Freddy's 2
It has more animatronics than the first game combined, such as the Toy animatronics, the Withered animatronics, and the Shadow animatronics.
It introduces us to The Puppet, one of the creepiest animatronics in the franchise.
The cutscenes that take place between nights are disturbing thanks to the moody and dark lighting and horrifically distorted sounds of laughter and singing.
It was the first game in the series to introduce 8-bit mini-games, which would become a staple in the series.
Five Nights at Freddy's 3
The concept of having one animatronic tracking the entire pizzeria is admittedly a bit creepy, especially when you realize the origin of it.
The Phantom Animatronics do a good job of being distractions, helping the difficulty to increase.
The graphics are an improvement over the first game and the second game.
It's the first game in the series to feature multiple endings, in this case, two. And these two endings are the bad ending and the good ending.
Night 6 is no longer just a typical night but much harder, and instead explains a lot about the lore, and that is, the Fazbear Fright was burned down and Springtrap survived the incident.
Five Nights at Freddy's 4
The graphics are now much more realistic, making the gameplay a lot scarier.
Good Nightmare Animatronics designs, which do fit the style of the game.
Simply gives the backstory of the Afton family and one of the reasons why William Afton murdered the children at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.
On that topic, we finally get to see how the creation of Golden Freddy came to be, as it happened in the most disturbing, yet depressing way: The Crying Child gets his frontal lobe bitten by Fredbear thanks to the Spring Locks in the animatronic and due to being hold onto by Michael Afton and his friends as a prank.
Up until Sister Location, this was deemed the most disturbing game in the series, thanks to the terrifying sounds and atmosphere, which were inspired by A Nightmare in Elm Street.
The Halloween DLC introduces more animatronics and a harder version of Fun With Plushtrap called Fun With Balloon Boy.
Sister Location
The gameplay improved tremendously, as instead of being stuck in an office, you now have to do multiple tasks each night, which makes the game more fun and far less repetitive.
The lore expanded tremendously and was done very well and in a different, as instead of using easter eggs and secret minigames, the game now tells you stuff while at the same time, you have to analyze the secrets of the game.
Speaking of which, it is by far the installment with the most amount of theories due to it being a major contributor to the lore.
The graphics have improved tremendously and are much better than ever.
The jumpscares are also a massive improvement over the cheap ones from FNaF 1, 2, 3, and, to some extent, 4. They have a lot of variety and don't use just one cheap sprite with one jumpscare and put them in every animatronic, rather, they all have different animations, with different jumpscare sounds, which are scary and make the jumpscares much scarier.
Like Five Nights at Freddy's 4, it gives the backstory of the Afton family and also gives the backstory of Michael Afton, one of the most important characters in the lore.
The Custom Night is no longer just a simple bonus for completing the entire game, but an important mode to expand the lore.
The ending in the Golden Freddy mode (V. Hard) from the Custom Night is an excellent way to tease Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator.
Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator
It is the first mainline FNAF game to completely be free to play.
Springtrap returns from FNAF 3, and is as scarier as ever thanks to his design, however, he only appears during the ventilation shift.
Helpy is a fun character who provides the game's mood whiplash from the disturbing imagery.
It's the first game to feature more than two endings and isn't clunky like Five Nights at Freddy's 3.
The Completion Ending is excellent and would have been a good way to end the lore if it didn't continue past this game.
Ultimate Custom Night
The concept of a giant custom night with most of the animatronics from the previous games with no limits is a great idea and is great for people who want challenges.
Like Sister Location and FFPS, instead of using a regular mouse to play the game, you now have to use the entire keyboard to play, which contributes to the game being fun.
There are 50 animatronics in the game, making it the best character roster in the entire franchise.
Like Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, the game is free to play, although it's paid on mobile and console.
==Jumpscared Qualities==
Overall
While the gameplay is simple yet enjoyable and fun, it can be boring at times, especially in early nights. However, it becomes more challenging in later nights.
The earlier mobile versions (the ones developed by Scott Cawthon himself) are mediocre, due to downgraded effects, the jumpscares missing several frames, and more aggressive animatronics. Thankfully, they've been removed and replaced by the ones remastered by Clickteam USA.
Another annoying thing is that both versions of the mobile ports feature microtransactions despite being paid (except Sister Location, which doesn't have them) and have a cheat mode that removes all the challenges in the game but thankfully they're pretty optional, to the point they're not needed.
Due to the nature of being extremely hidden, the lore, despite being great, is also confusing at times due to it not being very direct. The later installments (SL and FFPS) are connected to the lore of the first 4 games, making it more confusing to newcomers.
Much like Among Us (albeit it's inverted), Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator and Ultimate Custom Night are free on PC but they're paid on mobile and console due to the latter versions being coded by Clickteam to converting said platforms.
The jumpscares from FNaF 1 and 2 are rather cheap and lose their scare factor shortly after you progress. Although the game is still pretty scary.
This is also noticeable in FNaF 3, where the jumpscares feel less scary due to the annoying use of J Major from the Phantom animatronics, this issue was also carried over to Ultimate Custom Night.
For some reason, before Sister Location, many of the games were only playable in Fullscreen, and stretched Widescreen, while this could be due to want for some gamers by having a more primitive atmosphere of said games, it feels a little bit cheap since the first game was Widescreen.
The jumpscares themselves can come off as annoying nowadays.
Five Nights at Freddy's 2
Artificial difficulty: Despite the game telling you to use the mask to avoid the jumpscares from the Toy Animatronics and most of the Withered Animatronics, you will still get jumpscared when you put it. This is because the game wants you to put it instantly, which is extremely difficult for those who aren't fast enough to avoid the animatronics. As a result, this causes cheap deaths and tons of jump scares.
The graphics, while decent, feel a bit inferior to FNaF 1's graphics.
Five Nights at Freddy's 3
The jumpscares are underwhelming at best.
If the Phantom Animatronics are excluded due to being hallucinations, therefore, there is only one animatronic in the game, which is pretty barebones.
The way to get a good ending is pretty difficult: To get said ending, you must play ALL the minigames each night, which are scattered through secrets and easter eggs.

The Completion Ending is excellent and would have been a good way to end the lore if it didn't continue past this game.
Ultimate Custom Night
The concept of a giant custom night with most of the animatronics from the previous games with no limits is a great idea and is great for people who want challenges.
Like Sister Location and FFPS, instead of using a regular mouse to play the game, you now have to use the entire keyboard to play, which contributes to the game being fun.
There are 50 animatronics in the game, making it the best character roster in the entire franchise.
Like Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, the game is free to play, although it's paid on mobile and console.
==Jumpscared Qualities==
===Overall===
#While the gameplay is simple yet enjoyable and fun, it can be boring at times, especially in early nights. However, it becomes more challenging in later nights.
#The earlier mobile versions (the ones developed by Scott Cawthon himself) are mediocre, due to downgraded effects, the jumpscares missing several frames, and more aggressive animatronics. Thankfully, they've been removed and replaced by the ones remastered by Clickteam USA.
#Another annoying thing is that both versions of the mobile ports feature microtransactions despite being paid (except Sister Location, which doesn't have them) and have a cheat mode that removes all the challenges in the game but thankfully they're pretty optional, to the point they're not needed.
#Due to the nature of being extremely hidden, the lore, despite being great, is also confusing at times due to it not being very direct. The later installments (SL and FFPS) are connected to the lore of the first 4 games, making it more confusing to newcomers.
Much like Among Us (albeit it's inverted), Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator and Ultimate Custom Night are free on PC but they're paid on mobile and console due to the latter versions being coded by Clickteam to converting said platforms.
The jumpscares from FNaF 1 and 2 are rather cheap and lose their scare factor shortly after you progress. Although the game is still pretty scary.
#This is also noticeable in FNaF 3, where the jumpscares feel less scary due to the annoying use of J Major from the Phantom animatronics, this issue was also carried over to Ultimate Custom Night.
#For some reason, before Sister Location, many of the games were only playable in Fullscreen, and stretched Widescreen, while this could be due to want for some gamers by having a more primitive atmosphere of said games, it feels a little bit cheap since the first game was Widescreen.
#The jumpscares themselves can come off as annoying nowadays.
Five Nights at Freddy's 2
#Artificial difficulty: Despite the game telling you to use the mask to avoid the jumpscares from the Toy Animatronics and most of the Withered Animatronics, you will still get jumpscared when you put it. This is because the game wants you to put it instantly, which is extremely difficult for those who aren't fast enough to avoid the animatronics. As a result, this causes cheap deaths and tons of jump scares.
#The graphics, while decent, feel a bit inferior to FNaF 1's graphics.
Five Nights at Freddy's 3
#The jumpscares are underwhelming at best.
#If the Phantom Animatronics are excluded due to being hallucinations, therefore, there is only one animatronic in the game, which is pretty barebones.
#The way to get a good ending is pretty difficult: To get said ending, you must play ALL the minigames each night, which are scattered through secrets and easter eggs.
#Despite what WIR#2 says, the game is really easy to beat, making it one of the easiest entries in the series.
#Even though the graphics are an improvement over FNaF 2, they're unfortunately ruined and they're mainly disliked due to the ugly color palette, as well as the game overall looking unappealing.
Five Nights at Freddy's 4
The fact that you have to listen closely to hear breathing is underwhelming, not helped by the fact that the loudness of the jumpscares could destroy your eardrums.
Some of the designs of the animatronics look less scary, especially Plushtrap which looks more cute than terrifying.
Sister Location
One word and one number: Night 4. It is considered the most difficult night of the entire game due to it wanting the player to click on the spring locks, which is extremely difficult due to the player not being that fast to click them all in once.
Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator
For some reason, the game had a lower age rating than previous titles, despite containing jumpscares and blood.
Ultimate Custom Night
There are plenty of missing animatronics in the game, such as Funtime Freddy, Bon Bon, Withered Freddy, Withered Foxy, and others.
Due to the game's heavy focus on gameplay and challenge, the jumpscares stop being quickly scary and look cheesy at times.
Reception
On Metacritic, the reception of the games is varied, ranging from 78 to 52. However, the user scores are much higher. Outside of Metacritic, the franchise received widespread critical acclaim and is often considered one of the greatest horror franchises of all time. It was praised for its scary atmosphere, great graphics, simple yet enjoyable gameplay, and most importantly, the impressive lore. It was featured on multiple Top 10 Best Horror Game Franchises of All Time lists.
Trivia
There was a question most fans asked back when UCN was released, and that is if the game was canon or not, although some theories confirm that the game was meant to be a purgatory/hell for William Afton for murdering the kids.

Five Nights at Freddy's (often abbreviated as FNaF) is a point-and-click horror game developed and published by Scott Cawthon. The first game was released on August 8th, 2014 for Microsoft Windows, initially on IndieDB and later on Steam. Since its release, the game has spawned multiple sequels. In 2018, Cawthon announced that his next FNaF games would be developed by a studio that initially didn't say their name but it was later revealed when Help Wanted was revealed on a State of Play in March 2019. The franchise received widespread critical acclaim and is often considered one of the best indie horror franchises of all time and is ranked on multiple lists among the best horror game franchises of all time. This will focus on the Clickteam era, when the games were made with Clickteam Fusion, all of them being made by Scott Cawthon himself, which ran from 2014 to 2018.
==Why It's Ready for Freddy==
===Overall===
#The franchise is heavily responsible for popularizing horror point-and-click games and possibly the entire indie horror genre. You have to thank this franchise for the fact that games like Tattletail, Bendy and the Ink Machine, CASE: Animatronics and Boogeyman exist.
#The concept of a night guard surviving from 4 possessed animatronics is amazing, which is inspired by Chuck E. Cheese's.
#Fantastic lore and is considered one of the best and most interesting lore in a video game. Rather than telling you directly like in most games, the story is told through easter eggs and mini-games and players have to analyze it.
#Because of this way of understanding the story, the franchise is very popular for spawning a massive amount of theories about the lore. There's a reason why YouTubers like MatPat (a.k.a The Game Theorists) became so popular.
#Not only is the lore fantastic, but it also popularized the use of hidden easter eggs and secrets to reveal the lore in several indie games.
#Thanks to the popularity of the franchise, it spawned a huge and devoted fanbase and made tons of FNaF fan games, and while most are poorly done, there are also fan games that are equally as good as the original games themselves.
#Even though the games used the Clickteam Engine, which was considered outdated, the graphics are very good, especially in later FNaF games, such as Sister Location and Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator (FNaF 6).
#The gameplay is simplistic yet enjoyable. While using the mouse to control the game doesn't sound exciting, it becomes challenging in later #nights. The gameplay also changes in each entry, with Sister Location changing the furthest.
#Despite the gameplay, the controls in the console and mobile versions are pretty good and don't feel clunky.
===Five Nights at Freddy's 1===
#Before Sister Location, it was the only FNaF game to be available in widescreen.
===Five Nights at Freddy's 2===
#It has more animatronics than the first game combined, such as the Toy animatronics, the Withered animatronics, and the Shadow animatronics.
#It introduces us to The Puppet, one of the creepiest animatronics in the franchise.
#The cutscenes that take place between nights are disturbing thanks to the moody and dark lighting and horrifically distorted sounds of laughter and singing.
#It was the first game in the series to introduce 8-bit mini-games, which would become a staple in the series.
===Five Nights at Freddy's 3===
#The concept of having one animatronic tracking the entire pizzeria is admittedly a bit creepy, especially when you realize the origin of it.
#The Phantom Animatronics do a good job of being distractions, helping the difficulty to increase.
#The graphics are an improvement over the first game and the second game.
#It's the first game in the series to feature multiple endings, in this case, two. And these two endings are the bad ending and the good ending.
#Night 6 is no longer just a typical night but much harder, and instead explains a lot about the lore, and that is, the Fazbear Fright was burned down and Springtrap survived the incident.
===Five Nights at Freddy's 4===
#The graphics are now much more realistic, making the gameplay a lot scarier.
#Good Nightmare Animatronics designs, which do fit the style of the game.
#Simply gives the backstory of the Afton family and one of the reasons why William Afton murdered the children at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.
#On that topic, we finally get to see how the creation of Golden Freddy came to be, as it happened in the most disturbing, yet depressing way: #The Crying Child gets his frontal lobe bitten by Fredbear thanks to the Spring Locks in the animatronic and due to being hold onto by Michael #Afton and his friends as a prank.
#Up until Sister Location, this was deemed the most disturbing game in the series, thanks to the terrifying sounds and atmosphere, which were inspired by A Nightmare in Elm Street.
#The Halloween DLC introduces more animatronics and a harder version of Fun With Plushtrap called Fun With Balloon Boy.
===Sister Location===
#The gameplay improved tremendously, as instead of being stuck in an office, you now have to do multiple tasks each night, which makes the game more fun and far less repetitive.
#The lore expanded tremendously and was done very well and in a different, as instead of using easter eggs and secret minigames, the game now tells you stuff while at the same time, you have to analyze the secrets of the game.
#Speaking of which, it is by far the installment with the most amount of theories due to it being a major contributor to the lore.
#The graphics have improved tremendously and are much better than ever.
#The jumpscares are also a massive improvement over the cheap ones from FNaF 1, 2, 3, and, to some extent, 4. They have a lot of variety and don't use just one cheap sprite with one jumpscare and put them in every animatronic, rather, they all have different animations, with different jumpscare sounds, which are scary and make the jumpscares much scarier.
#Like Five Nights at Freddy's 4, it gives the backstory of the Afton family and also gives the backstory of Michael Afton, one of the most important characters in the lore.
#The Custom Night is no longer just a simple bonus for completing the entire game, but an important mode to expand the lore.
#The ending in the Golden Freddy mode (V. Hard) from the Custom Night is an excellent way to tease Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator.
===Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator===
#It is the first mainline FNAF game to completely be free to play.
#Springtrap returns from FNAF 3, and is as scarier as ever thanks to his design, however, he only appears during the ventilation shift.
#Helpy is a fun character who provides the game's mood whiplash from the disturbing imagery.
#It's the first game to feature more than two endings and isn't clunky like Five Nights at Freddy's 3.
#The Completion Ending is excellent and would have been a good way to end the lore if it didn't continue past this game.

#Artificial difficulty: Despite the game telling you to use the mask to avoid the jumpscares from the Toy Animatronics and most of the #Withered Animatronics, you will still get jumpscared when you put it. This is because the game wants you to put it instantly, which is extremely difficult for those who aren't fast enough to avoid the animatronics. As a result, this causes cheap deaths and tons of jump scares.
#The graphics, while decent, feel a bit inferior to FNaF 1's graphics.
===Five Nights at Freddy's 3===
#The jumpscares are underwhelming at best.
#If the Phantom Animatronics are excluded due to being hallucinations, therefore, there is only one animatronic in the game, which is pretty barebones.

'''''Five Nights at Freddy's'' (often abbreviated as FNaF)''' is a point-and-click horror game developed and published by Scott Cawthon. The first game was released on August 8th, 2014 for Microsoft Windows, initially on IndieDB and later on Steam. Since its release, the game has spawned multiple sequels. In 2018, Cawthon announced that his next FNaF games would be developed by a studio that initially didn't say their name but it was later revealed when Help Wanted was revealed on a State of Play in March 2019. The franchise received widespread critical acclaim and is often considered one of the best indie horror franchises of all time and is ranked on multiple lists among the best horror game franchises of all time. This will focus on the Clickteam era, when the games were made with Clickteam Fusion, all of them being made by Scott Cawthon himself, which ran from 2014 to 2018.
==Why It's Ready for Freddy==
===Overall===
#The franchise is heavily responsible for popularizing horror point-and-click games and possibly the entire indie horror genre. You have to thank this franchise for the fact that games like Tattletail, Bendy and the Ink Machine, CASE: Animatronics and Boogeyman exist.
#The concept of a night guard surviving from 4 possessed animatronics is amazing, which is inspired by Chuck E. Cheese's.
#Fantastic lore and is considered one of the best and most interesting lore in a video game. Rather than telling you directly like in most games, the story is told through easter eggs and mini-games and players have to analyze it.
#Because of this way of understanding the story, the franchise is very popular for spawning a massive amount of theories about the lore. There's a reason why YouTubers like MatPat (a.k.a The Game Theorists) became so popular.
#Not only is the lore fantastic, but it also popularized the use of hidden easter eggs and secrets to reveal the lore in several indie games.
#Thanks to the popularity of the franchise, it spawned a huge and devoted fanbase and made tons of FNaF fan games, and while most are poorly done, there are also fan games that are equally as good as the original games themselves.
#Even though the games used the Clickteam Engine, which was considered outdated, the graphics are very good, especially in later FNaF games, such as Sister Location and Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator (FNaF 6).
#The gameplay is simplistic yet enjoyable. While using the mouse to control the game doesn't sound exciting, it becomes challenging in later #nights. The gameplay also changes in each entry, with Sister Location changing the furthest.
#Despite the gameplay, the controls in the console and mobile versions are pretty good and don't feel clunky.

The Wacky World of Tex Avery (French: Le Monde fou de Tex Avery) is a 1997 French-American animated television series created by Robby London, and produced by DIC Entertainment and their French subsidiary Les Studios Tex, in which this studio was named after this show. It was named after the well-known Warner Bros./MGM animator, Tex Avery, and the creator describes the show as "an homage to the brilliant, hilarious and groundbreaking animator Tex Avery and the wonderful squash-and-stretch cartoons of his era".

Premise
The show is an anthology series that stars numerous characters such as Tex Avery (distinct from his namesake, the real-life animator of the same name), Einstone, and Pompeii Pete. There are several segments in this show.
The show's main segment is the self-titled Tex Avery. It features the titular cowboy, his rival Sagebrush Sid, and Texan girlfriend Miss Chastity Knott in various escapades and scenarios.
The second segment, Einstone, centers on the titular caveman genius, who attempts to teach his fellow cavemen to be more civilized through the use of his inventions.
The third segment, Pompeii Pete, follows a small, bumming Centurion who finds himself in modern day after being buried alive for thousands of years after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Pete usually goes from job to job, often getting on the nerves of a business man named Dan, whose role varies as well.
Genghis and Khannie, the fourth segment, is named after the Mongolian ruler, Genghis Khan. Genghis is a lion warlord that's attempting to conquer empires and countries in the name of his emperor, while Khannie is a small, innocent looking panda that foils Genghis at every turn.
The fifth segment, Freddy the Fly, has the titular fly square off against the ridiculously uber rich Amanda Banshee.
The penultimate segment, Power Pooch, stars a dog that can turn into a superhero by licking (or swallowing) one shoe. Along for the ride is a blue cat named Little Buddy that acts as Power Pooch's sidekick.
The seventh and final segment, Maurice and Mooch, is a Tweety Bird & Sylvester parallel. Mooch is a fox that is constantly searching for a meal, while Maurice is a young chicken that Mooch constantly tries and fails to eat.
Why It's Too Wacky (and NOT in a Good Way)Despite the series being intended to pay homage to Tex Avery and his cartoon creations, it is nothing more than an insult rather than a homage to Tex Avery's work, due to its various issues as listed below.Poor grasp of the source material: Aside from having the classic Tex Avery gags, the show has nothing to do with Tex Avery and, for legal reasons, none of his trademark characters like Bugs Bunny and Droopy Dog are included in this show. There's a character who's a cowboy named after Avery, and that's pretty much it.The show uses all the gags, jokes, and every element of the Tex Avery cartoons they were well-known for, all without actually understanding the context of each gags' used and why Tex Avery's Looney Tunes and MGM cartoons and their wild comedic style as a whole worked so well.A glaring example of such is that the series' titular character, Tex Avery, is always shown to be constantly lusting and doing wild takes exaggeratedly on his love interest Chastity Knott in nearly every episode just because the Wolf from Tex Avery's MGM cartoon "Red Hot Riding Hood" always does that to Red in each one of his appearances with her, with the writers failing to realize that the Wolf is a lecherous villain in the cartoons he appears in with Red (and a zoophile considering that the Wolf is an animal and Red is a Human), hence making the Tex Avery character to come off as nothing but a lecherous girl-crazy pervert towards Chastity Knott and an unlikable protagonist whom viewers are forced to root for in his cartoons.Even more insultingly, the real Tex Avery himself is very poorly represented via his same-named caricature in this show. In real life, Tex Avery, in contrast to the wild and wacky nature of his cartoons, is a rather quiet and reserved man who never actively sought out the spotlight in real life, with his cartoon creation Droopy being the closest character who is the most similar to Tex Avery's real-life persona. Here in this show, Tex Avery is instead represented as a wild, wacky, hyperactive, and obnoxious Bugs Bunny/Screwy Squirrel-esque Western hero type-comic relief character who comes off as more annoying and obnoxious than funny, which is a huge insult to the real-life Tex Avery and the type of person he was back when he was alive.Quantity-Over-Quality: DiC didn't run this show properly, as all 195 segments of this show were produced in the littlest of time possible and are aired for four months of its original broadcast from September-December 1997, hence making the production of each episode to be extremely rushed and poorly executed as the result.The title sequence shows the characters repetitively stomping and bouncing on the ground in an extremely hyperactive manner.In addition, as Saberspark pointed out in his Top 10 Worst Cartoon Intros video, random stuff appears beneath the characters' feet as they jump around, and this scene repeats itself once before the stuff beneath their feet turn into Pompeii Pete, which doesn't make any sense in the slightest. Plus, this makes it look like Pompeii was dragged away twice.This show uses too many stock cartoon sound effects (mostly from the Hanna-Barbera library) and even uses them at inappropriate times.Billy West (Doug, Stimpy, Philip J. Fry and Popeye) and Scott McNeil (Wolverine, Piccolo, Mr. White, Voltar, Rattrap, Dinobot) while both are talented voice actors, they do poor jobs voicing Tex Avery, Freddy the Fly, and Amanda. Notably, McNeil sounds very annoying and unconvincing as a woman.The character designs, while very appealing and reminiscent of a Looney Tunes cartoon, are rather ugly looking, especially with Tex Avery, who has an unsettling smile on his face (see the picture above), Freddy the Fly, Einstone, and the cavemen.The segments, in general, are pretty bad, forgettable, and unoriginal. They mainly copy other classic cartoons from the Golden Age and don't try many new things to keep them from being too formulaic:Tex Avery is a rip-off of Looney Tunes' Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam cartoons.Pompeii Pete, while not a direct rip-off, borrows elements from The Ren & Stimpy Show.Einstone uses the concept of cavemen making modern inventions from The Flintstones.Genghis and Khannie is a rip-off of Tom & Jerry in terms of character design but without any chase scenes.Freddy the Fly is a rip-off of Screwy Squirrel.Maurice and Mooch is a rip-off of the Looney Tunes' Tweety and Sylvester cartoons, with some elements from Baby Huey.Power Pooch is a rip-off of the Earthworm Jim animated series, with some elements from Superman: The Animated Series.There are numerous instances of racism, which is something you should never have in a kids' show. For instance:There are plenty of racial and annoying stereotypes:Tex Avery (the main character) is just a cliché stereotypical Texan/Old West character.Pompeii Pete is a Roman/Italian stereotype.Einstone is a German stereotype based obviously on Albert Einstein.Maurice is a Swedish stereotype.Other offensive stereotypes on this show include Asians, Canadians, Mexicans, British, Samoans, Jews, Irish, and even Native Americans as well.In "The Not-So-Great Train Robbery", Tex hires a stereotypical Indian tracker (as in, not Native American, as a pun) to help him get back to his train.The episode "Humpty Dumpty Had a Great Wall" begins with a montage of Genghis attacking other countries. In the first clip, Genghis's army kills a stereotypical Persian man and his cow, after which a sign reading "Rug-Sale: Cheap!" drops down. In the second, Genghis throws a bomb at Mumbai (called Bombai in this episode), and a nearby sign changes to "Bombed Out" after the explosion.The animation, while sometimes decent, is sub-par and rather cheap looking, with some unfinished backgrounds and frames missing.There are numerous animation errors:In the opening, the top of Pompeii Pete's helmet disappears for three frames.In "Humpty Dumpty Had a Great Wall", the animation frames of Khannie playing with her puppets appear to be chopped off from the top.In "Martial Blitz", part of the man the bride is to marry landing after being kicked by Amanda disappears for a frame.In "The Return of Dr. Hydrant", the top of Dr. Hydrant's head misaligns for one frame during the scene where he talks to Boney.Some of the animation doesn't sync up with the backgrounds properly.The show would occasionally use some strange transitions or special effects that look out of place for the show's animation style:In "Water You Gonna Do?", the second-to-last scene "disintegrates" for no explained reason.In "The Wrath of Khannie", the text "3 sequels ago in a galaxy not too far away" zooms away from the viewer to recreate the prologue text of a Star Wars film, but it looks as if it is slowly being sucked up to the top of the screen.The jokes and humor are both very poor and terrible, as they mostly consist of toilet humor and gross-out humor. Most of the jokes also fall flat or feel awkward due to the stiff and wonky animation. Examples include:Maurice making armpit farts and blowing his nose in the introAn ape vomitingAlmost every joke revolving around Freddy the FlyMooch peeing into a potted plantA caveman shoving a pole up a dinosaur's buttThe classic Avery gags are in the show, but they're butchered beyond all belief:In a scene from "Mine, Mine, Mine!", Sid accidentally runs out of the film projector like in the Droopy cartoon "Northwest Hounded Police", but the gag automatically falls flat since the show was originally watched on TV sets, which didn't use film reels or projectors.In the "The Not-So-Great Train Robbery", there is also a scene where Tex Avery and Sid take turns pulling out bigger guns than each other, but they read out the name of the gun they pull each time, which slows the pacing and ruins the humor entirely.The "_____, isn't it?" gag signs reappear, but they're not used properly:In "Humpty Dumpty Had a Great Wall", there's one scene where the camera pans across the Great Wall and stops at a sign that reads "Great Wall, Huh?" two seconds later. To make this version of the gag work, the camera should be constantly panning at a slow pace even when passing by the sign and have said sign come in after about five or seven seconds as demonstrated in two of Tex Avery's cartoons, "The Early Bird Dood It!" and "The Shooting of Dan McGoo".In "Silence of the Lames", there's another version of this gag where an extremely long limousine arrives at the entrance of the library and only stops when the door comes into view. In that episode, a hand holds a sign reading "Pretty Long Car, Isn't It!" while the car is still driving. Since the sign is supposed to serve as a punchline, this ends up ruining the gag by displaying the sign/punchline too early. Again, there's a much better version of this gag seen in the Tex Avery cartoon "The Shooting of Dan McGoo" where the phrase "Long, Isn't It?" appears on the wolf's limousine once it stops.There is a ton of content that is way too inappropriate, disturbing and nonsensical for a kids' show:In "The Dis-orderly", Dan the Man fakes a cut and squeezes a ketchup bottle to simulate that he's bleeding, and made it worse by squeezing it very hard all over the other patients.In the same episode, Pompeii himself slices a pizza using a buzzsaw, but the gag was a setup as if he was slicing Dan the Man instead.In "Breakfast in Bedlam", Maurice cracks an egg open, which isn't that bad, but the previous scene implied he pulled it from his mother, which is technically cannibalism.There are also various instances of gratuitous over-the-top violence, unsettling imagery, and disturbing facial expressions including:Tex Avery and Sagebrush Sid flipping their lips in tune to the show's theme song, complete with saliva being shownCavemen and apes drowning in tar in "A Bird in the Brain Is Worth Two in the Bush" and "The Ugh-Lympic Games"Genghis being shot by a big cannon with his mouth being all that is left in "Humpty Dumpty Had a Great Wall"Genghis bulging out his eyes in "Humpty Dumpty Had a Great Wall"Genghis having his tail get lit on fire by Khannie in "Humpty Dumpty Had a Great Wall" and then explodingFreddy kissing the bride and making her fall over in "Martial Blitz"Tex Avery setting fire in a bear's stomach in "Bottleneck Bear"Einstone getting eaten alive by a Tyrannosaurus Rex and landing in its stomach in "Saur Loser"Power Pooch swallowing an entire shoe whenever he needs his powersDan shooting a telephone with a gun in "Quiet Please"Pompeii Pete killing an owl and mouse with a cannon (which is animal abuse) in "Quiet Please"Amanda having a fly's head in "The Tell-Tale Fly" and "Bored of the Flies"Tex Avery putting a tapeworm inside Sagebrush Sid's mouth in "Fat and Fatter"Tex Avery landing in a pile of manure in "Virtual Tex"Tex Avery graphically scratching his nails on a chalkboard in "Not a Sporting Chance"Dan swallowing a hot rod motor engine in "Mechanically Declined"Genghis getting burned to the bone by Khannie's dragon in "A No-Etiquette Barbarian in King Arthur's Court"Tex Avery stripping off all of his clothes to the point where a censor bar covers his private parts in "Sagebrush Sindy"Tex Avery squeezing a bear's bottom in "Sagebrush Sindy"Sagebrush Sid tearing off Tex Avery's mouth in "Fat and Fatter" and "The Tex-orcist"Mooch eating a TV set in "My Dinner With Mooch"Baby Tex and Sid punching and exploding each other while still inside their respective mothers' wombs in "Tex Babies".Mooch getting his face burnt on a grill in "Teacher's Pest"Natives using Amanda's money as toilet paper in "Bored of the Flies"Einstone getting his head stuck to a mammoth's butt and the mammoth going to the restroom in "Frankeinstone"Sagebrush Sid getting his head split in half by his ax in "Up a Tree Without a Paddle"Dan's skin shattering and exposing his flesh in "Just Plane Trouble"Einstone's mother having all of her blood drained in "Neanderthal Mom"Amanda getting covered in manure in "Martial Blitz"Genghis eating a talking banana in "Donkey Conqueror"Maurice cracking Mooch's tooth with a hammer in "The Toothless Fairy"Tex Avery eating a buzzard until it's nothing but bones in "Water You Gonna Do?"Tex's arms being torn off by Sid only to attach to the latter's face and attack him in "The Tex-orcist"Mooch crashing into a truck filled with tacks and having tacks stuck on his behind then spitting out the tacks when getting forced into a train tunnel in "Toy Store Story"Two toucans taking off their beaks to kiss each other in "To Ape or Not to Ape"Mooch getting his nose bitten by snakes in "Chicken Scouts"Genghis getting decapitated in "Courting Disaster"An ape vomiting in "The Ugh-Lympic Games"Genghis eating bugs in "You Take the High Road and I'll Take Cairo"Einstone ejecting a needle into a caveman's butt in "Is There a Doctor in the Cave?"Mooch peeing into a potted plant in "Backseat Bedlam"Genghis getting his lower half-eaten by piranhas in "A Pain in the Rain Forest"A cat getting frozen and turning into ice cubes in "Double-O Scussi"Amanda unscrewing a butler's head and dropping it in "Cake Me a Bake"A caveman throwing a scalpel at Einstone's bottom in "Neanderthal Mom"Power Pooch peeing on Dr. Hydrant (albeit off-screen) in "Flea! Run Away!"Power Pooch almost getting neutered in "Doggie Pounded"Pete takes out Dan's hair body parts in "Re Pete Customer"And lastly, Power Pooch's laser vision hitting a woman and causing her bra and panties to be exposed in "Wrapped Up in His Work"False advertising: The intro sequence and promo images show Tex riding a horse, but he rides a goat in the show itself instead.This show was obviously made to cash in on the trend of Golden Age-style shows such as Animaniacs and The Ren & Stimpy Show, which have little to no involvement with Tex Avery or his cartoons, and were more of a homage to him. In general, this show is a worse-drawn Ren and Stimpy and worse-written Animaniacs -- completely lacking the fun, care, and charm those shows had.

The Amazing World of Gumball is a British-American animated television series created by Ben Bocquelet for Cartoon Network. Produced primarily by Cartoon Network Development Studio Europe, it first aired on May 3, 2011. Two miniseries, Darwin's Yearbook and The Gumball Chronicles aired after the show's ending. The former aired from December 14, 2019, to December 28, 2019, and the latter from October 20, 2020, to June 20, 2021. The series revolves around the life of Gumball Watterson, a 12-year-old cat who attends middle school in the fictional city of Elmore. Accompanied by his adoptive goldfish brother Darwin Watterson, he frequently finds himself involved in various shenanigans around the city, during which he interacts with his other family members—sister Anais and parents Nicole and Richard, and an extended supporting cast of characters. A seventh season is in the works.
Bocquelet based several of the series' characters on rejected characters from his previous commercial work and made its premise a mixture of "family shows and school shows", which Cartoon Network was heavily interested in. He pitched The Amazing World of Gumball to the network and Turner Broadcasting executive Daniel Lennard subsequently greenlit production of the series. It is the first series to be produced by Cartoon Network Development Studio Europe and is currently co-produced with Studio SOI and Great Marlborough Productions Limited.
One unique feature of the series is its lack of stylistic unity. Characters are designed, filmed, and animated using different styles and techniques (stylized traditional animation, puppetry, CGI, stop motion, Flash animation, live-action, etc.) The series has made multiple stylistic changes throughout its production, specifically in the transition between its first and second seasons. Such changes include character redesigns, an increase in the use of VFX, higher quality animation, and a shift towards a much more satirical comedic style.

Plot
No, this animated series is not about anthropomorphic chewing gum, it's about a young cat named Gumball Watterson. Gumball has a penchant for getting into trouble, often resulting from schemes he comes up with, but he never seems to learn his lesson. Gumball's best friend is a fish named Darwin, who used to be the family pet until he grew legs and became part of the family. Gumball resents his younger sister, Anais, because she is the smartest member of the family. Gumball's mother is the breadwinner in the family, working long hours at the rainbow factory, and his father stays at home watching TV and playing video games.
Why It's AmazingIt's an animated sitcom about a family just like The Simpsons, South Park and Family Guy, but more focused on the family's kids than the parents themselves, something not so common to be seen in kids shows, and it's very captivating, especially for an early 2010's cartoon.In a similar manner to Drawn Together (yet much larger), many of the characters' designs are mixed with various art styles such as 2D, 3D, claymation, live-action/puppet, traditional (mostly flash, digital ink, and paint, as cel animation (hand-drawn) is no longer standing in the animation industry since the late 1990s/early 2000s), and CGI, which looks very unique for a show, even today.Impressively creative, beautiful, and colorful animation and art style, which is some of the best-looking shows ever created on Cartoon Network, and maybe of all time.Unforgettable cast, both for the Wattersons themselves and the secondary characters, especially Gumball's schoolmates:Gumball Watterson, the protagonist, is a very kind yet irreverent at the same time blue cat that loves getting in trouble and adventures with his pals and his family. He's mostly loyal to his family and very respectful to his girlfriend, Penny, and has an incredible bond with Darwin.Darwin, Gumball's "pet fish" and best friend, is an optimistic walking goldfish who looks for the solution to every problem, but he's a little bit naive and full of pity.Anais Watterson is a tiny, nervous 4-year-old pink bunny who's ironically the most clever family member and Gumball and Darwin's main voice of reason. Despite this, still has her toddler's passions, in particular, her beloved stuffed animal, Daisy the Donkey.Nicole Watterson is a very strong, decisive mother who cares a lot about her job and primarily her kids' safety. However, she gets angry often when somebody messes with her (and when does that, turns out creepy), but when there's nothing wrong all around, is a very gentle mom.Richard Watterson is the fatty lazy father with a comic profile in him, a friendly and very funny butterball who keeps on stealing the scene cause of his mediocre parenting, and is like a good combination of Homer Simpson and Patrick Star.Penny is the sweet-horned peanut/fairy who cares a lot about Gumball and shares a great love with him. Furthermore, she receives great character development in which she changes aspects to reveal her true nature behind the shell.Tobias Wilson is the rainbow fluffy character which is the classic 90's athletic boy; a little bit selfish, but not bad at all.Banana Joe is a surprisingly good and friendly comic relief character with a quite low I.Q..Carrie Krueger is the emo/goth/punk rock ghost who despite her edgy exterior, is one of the nicer students at Elmore Junior High. Since "The Matchmaker", she has been dating Darwin.Alan Keane is the hopeful and perfect balloon who is written to be as amiable and likable as he can be.Carmen Verde is the intelligent cactus who is in a relationship with Alan (which when you think about it, is ironic and funny). Their bond proves how defects cannot stop the love among a couple.Tina Rex is the dinosaur school bully with a cold heart who likes to torment all the students, even Gumball. However, this is justifiable by the fact her father is way more aggressive towards guests, which explains her bad behavior.Anton is an optimistic piece of toast who's the school's chewing toy.Idaho is a gentle and modest living potato who comes from an Amish-esque family.Clayton is a shapeshifter red clay ball who's good at lying.Masami Yoshida is the spoiled rich cloud girl who is obsessed with popularity and getting her way, however, this is justifiable considering the wealth of her family. In later seasons, she becomes a lot more likable.Teri is a paper cutout of a bear who is a hypochondriac.Bobert is a robot with emotional problems but is very smart.Ocho Tootmorsel is the 8-bit spider that has serious anger and trust issues but remains likable for the most part.Leslie is Penny's close cousin and a flower who despite being male, inherits many feminine traits.Juke is a stereo-headed kid who can only communicate through beatboxing.The Indian intro of the show is hilarious (as it is made in comic book-esque style).Speaking of which, this is one of the few shows to receive a passable Hindi dub.The Japanese outro of the show is also good.Awesome and very expressive voice acting.Entertaining and fast-paced plots.Many good, clever, and hilarious jokes, with a perfect mixture of black comedy as the show progresses.Numerous pop culture references, such as video games, movies, shows, and anime. These are normally very hard for other shows to get right.There is even one episode where Gumball makes a joke about going to a brony convention, which is something Cartoon Network shows don't usually do.There is also another episode making fun of shipping fanfics, with unusual pairs in the town falling madly in love.Several excellent catchy songs like "Weird Like You and Me", "The Vermin Man", "I Am Free", "Without You", "Books are Violent", and "I Can't Say Goodbye", and the list goes on.Rob's transition from being a background character into an antagonist was well executed.The Void's concept (where a dimension is full of the world's mistakes) is a pretty interesting and clever idea.The show greatly improves after season 1 with better plots, better animation, more reasonable stories, and most importantly, more refined comedy, mostly meta-humor.Despite the show being aimed at kids, it could easily be enjoyed by adults as well due to its surreal humor and some adult jokes.Several hilarious, awesome, and memorable episodes such asThe DVD (where first impressions of the series were met with high expectations)The EndThe ResponsibleThe QuestThe PaintingThe MysteryThe PressureThe GiThe PartyThe MustacheThe MicrowaveThe HelmetThe RemoteThe KnightsThe JobHalloweenThe WordsThe TreasureChristmasThe VirusThe GameThe TapeThe WorldThe KidsThe JoyThe NameThe VacationThe FraudThe VoidThe BossThe Shell (yet also one of the best episodes with character development between Gumball and Penny)The MirrorThe ButterflyThe SafetyThe CountdownThe DownerThe MoneyThe ReturnThe OthersThe RoutineThe Origins (both parts)The NestThe BusThe SlapThe DetectiveThe Fury (features an anime battle scene)The ScamThe Disaster/The Rerun (which ended season 4 and started season 5 with a positive reception.)The BoredomThe Choices (arguably the best episode)The CodeThe Copycats (also counts as the best and was made to mock its Chinese knockoff, Miracle Star)The MatchmakerThe ConsoleThe SorcererThe MenuThe Puppets (a good way to end season 5.)The Shippening (made to acknowledge and satirize the show's fandom, shipping fanfics, and DeviantArt)The SpinoffsThe BuddyThe PossessionThe MasterThe SilenceThe FutureThe Agent

Sonic the Hedgehog (commonly referred to as Sonic '06) is a 2006 action-adventure platform video game in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, released as a celebration of the 15th anniversary of the series. Intended to be a reboot of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, it was developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega. It was released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3; ports intended for the Wii and Microsoft Windows were also in development, but the PC port was scrapped due to its development cycle, while the Wii port became Sonic and the Secret Rings due to the Wii's hardware limitations.

Plot
Dr. Eggman plans to revive an evil demon known as Iblis by kidnapping Princess Elise of Soleanna. However, in the future, Iblis has caused the end of the world, causing a hedgehog known as Silver to go back in time, believing Sonic is responsible for awakening Iblis. What no one knows is that they are all pawns of another demon known as Mephiles, who plans to unite with Iblis as both Iblis and Mephiles were once a single entity known as Solaris, the God of Time.
Gameplay
The game features three main playable characters (Sonic, Shadow, and Sliver) along with a plethora of playable side characters in a set of 3D platforming levels with a linear layout that are very similar to those from Sonic Adventure and it's sequel, Sonic Adventure 2, with some of them having different gimmicks like snowboarding and bike-riding in a few levels. There are also several hub-worlds with various missions that are meant to access some of the levels important to the game's story. All of the characters have their powers and abilities that are associated with them and are meant to be useful for taking out enemies and accessing areas in some levels more easily for players.

Why the Game Was Rushed
After the game was announced, the development faced serious problems, starting with Yuji Naka's resignation as head of Sonic Team to form his own company, Prope, as he became unhappy with his job as a manager in recent years and wanted to go back into programming games again. With his departure, "the heart and soul of Sonic" was gone, according to former Sega of America CEO Tom Kalinske. Sonic the Hedgehog was originally intended for release on all major seventh-generation consoles as well as Microsoft Windows, but when presented with development kits for Nintendo's less powerful Wii console, the team was split in two. Nakamura led one team to finish Sonic the Hedgehog for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 while producer Yojiro Ogawa led the other half to begin work on Sonic and the Secret Rings for the Wii. The split left an unusually small development team to work on Sonic the Hedgehog. So, Sega began pressuring the team to release the game by Christmas 2006, so with the deadline quickly approaching, Sonic Team rushed the final stages of development, ignoring existing bugs and design issues. Various planned features were dropped, such as a time of day and night mechanic similar to the one later implemented in Sonic Unleashed, and additional multiplayer components.
In retrospect, Ogawa noted that the final period proved to be a large challenge for the team. Not only was the Xbox 360 release imminent but the PlayStation 3 launch was scheduled not that long afterward. This put tremendous pressure on the team to develop both systems. Similarly, series producer Takashi Iizuka recalled, "We didn't have any time to polish and we were just churning out content as quick as we could."

Why It's No Use!As stated above, the game was heavily rushed and had a terrible development cycle. Sonic Team didn't finish the game; instead, they took an untested alpha build. This predictably caused a great number of issues listed below. The manual lists items and features that aren't even in the game (Like an Xbox Live mode that never comes out in the game) and half of the achievements have grammatical errors. For example:You can't even jump on enemies to defeat them. You know, one of the most classic features in the entire franchise!This game also suffered from executive meddling.One of the main complaints about this game is that has lots of glitches and bugs, thanks to being rushed; many gimmicks are buggy, it's easy to glitch through walls, and sometimes the character model can disappear, you can get stuck on the rails, there are some areas without collision, etc.Poor controls and terrible cameras make the game frustratingly bad and more difficult, making it hard to jump through rings or drive a vehicle. It also makes the game unfairly difficult. Bad controls can cause cheap deaths. For example, in the first zone, there is a bridge below an item box that Sonic can get stuck on and die if you aren't moving the left stick after going on the ramp just before the bridge.Just a slight tilt of the analog stick is more than enough to turn your character 90 degrees.Due to improper physics implementation, moving on an incline doesn't feel any different from moving on a flat surface, characters come to an immediate stop upon release of the joystick, characters can stand upside-down on the ceilings of loops, and jumping feels very floaty. To add insult to injury, the game uses the Havok physics engine, which is known for awesome physics capabilities and was used in lots of awesome games like Half-Life 2, Far Cry 2 and F.E.A.R.The game also suffers from a terrible framerate; there are plenty of moments where the game drops into single-digit frames, almost of slideshow quality. It's pretty bad on Xbox 360, and even worse on PS3 (see WINU#27).Terrible and lackluster voice acting for pretty much everyone. Some of it doesn't match with the in-game dialogue textboxes and most of the characters have annoying catchphrases (especially Silver with his "IT'S NO USE" phrase), Pete Capella can get annoying as Silver at times, Lacey Chabert is whiny as Princess Elise, Kathleen Delaney as Rouge the Bat is once again dull and still unfitting and Maddie Blaustein as E-123 Omega is cringeworthy and unfitting to listen too and has the worst voice.The story is convoluted, messy, and downright riddled with plot holes to the point it's an older cousin of the Star Wars sequel trilogy. The reason for all of this is that this game was meant to be a series reboot; if that was the case, it would be fine, but for some strange reason, Sonic Generations (and later Sonic X Shadow Generations) treats it as canon with the rest of the series (albeit with a better stage and rival battle with Silver) (In fact, it introduced a huge continuity hole to the Modern Era timeline), so the massive retcons, inconsistencies, and plotholes can't be excused anymore and also introduces plot holes in the rest of the lore. Some examples include (but are not limited to):Sonic and his friends can time travel with the Chaos Emeralds. Why don't they just go back in time and extinguish The Flame Of Hope (aka Solaris) right away to prevent the end of the world?!Mephiles' plan doesn't make sense either. Why won't he just go back in time and merge with Iblis right away?In the scene where Shadow is sealing Mephiles in the staff, Mephiles says that one day he will escape and kill Shadow, which could explain how Mephiles knows Shadow when they first meet because Shadow was meant to stop Mephiles. However, Shadow was still sealed in the capsule in Prison Island at that time, so there was no way he could have stopped Mephiles in the first place.The aforementioned ability to time travel at will has no limitations or consequences. This game exemplifies why time travel is such a risky plot device because of how easy it is to cock up.During the scene when Shadow meets Mephiles, he introduces himself to him, however, when he meets Mephiles again, Shadow asks Mephiles how he knew his name. Does Shadow still have amnesia?Why did Shadow leave the Sceptre of Darkness behind? Even Silver questions this decision, mind you!Shadow works for G.U.N, which was the same organization that tried to kill him in the last game (the game's Expert Mode contains some dialogue that helps fill this in, but it's quite a far fetch).Before the Duke (Elise's father) dies, he seals Iblis inside Elise (who is unconscious) and tells Elise to always be happy and that if she ever cries, Iblis will be free. While this makes her backstory more impactful, it makes one wonder how was Elise able to not cry for ten years, especially after her father died.Before Shadow and Silver go back to the present, Silver gives the young and unconscious Elise the Blue Chaos Emerald, which could explain how Elise has the Chaos Emerald at the beginning of the game, but that's in Silver's story. In Shadow's story, if you look very closely at Silver's right hand as he heads into the portal, you can see the Blue Chaos Emerald is still in his hand. Oops!Blaze and Silver can call themselves "best friends", but there's a problem, Blaze completely forgot Sonic (you know, she learned friendship from him in Sonic Rush). Also, there's no explanation for how Blaze met Silver and became friends.Speaking of Blaze, she doesn't do anything useful throughout Silver's story, as she is shoehorned. While she supposedly acts as Silver's mentor, in terms of story contribution? Well aside from sacrificing herself to seal Iblis, she does very little to aid Silver on his quest and has very little input on anything. There are cutscenes where Silver is conversing with someone with Blaze just standing in the background looking pretty. The funniest part is that neither Silver nor the character he is talking to even acknowledge her presence.Also despite knowing Sonic, Blaze also never knew for the whole game to tell Silver that Sonic is not the bad guy.Speaking of the storyline, the game retcons itself at the end. This infuriated players because they had to endure this game for approximately 12 hours, only to be told it was all for nothing, most likely due to Sonic Team being aware that the game was unfinished.Next to no speed in a game franchise that is supposed to be fast-paced and full of fast characters. Even Sonic himself (you know, the fastest thing alive) runs relatively slow compared to the other entries in the series, and the stages where Sonic does run fast are nearly impossible to control.Those sections where Sonic runs fast are the Mach speed sections, sections where Sonic moves at lightning speed and must be controlled to avoid obstacles. The moving controls are inconsistent and oversensitive, Sonic normally moves forward by himself, but when he hits an item box in the air you suddenly need to move the left stick for him to move forward. It is also very difficult to avoid obstacles as the stage throws way too many things at you. Jumping in these sections is also extremely dangerous since it locks Sonic's movement while in the air. The Light Dash is more of a hindrance at times during these segments it can lead Sonic to run into hazards; you're better off not using it.A lot of puzzles in this game are rather broken and poorly designed. The two most infamous examples include:The billiard puzzle at the end of Silver's run through Dusty Desert, in which he needs to guide a large ball through an L-shaped corridor and into a hole at the end. The problem here is the physics; since nothing in the game has proper weight implementation, the ball will bounce uncontrollably with each hit, and the metal crates that are supposed to stop it from falling into the wrong holes are ineffective. Compounded by the fact that Silver can only bitch-slap or pull a Will Smith on the ball through the hallway (instead of, you know, grabbing it with psychokinesis) 9 times before it eventually explodes, and the fact that the ball itself is also on a time limit. It says a lot about this game when most players bypass this puzzle by exploiting the shoddy coding to glitch through the door using one of the boxes.In Shadow's Kingdom Valley level, Rouge tells you that you need three keys to open a door, similar to the hunting stages in the Adventure games. Only this time, you don't have a radar to help you find them and there are no hints, leaving you completely blind when looking for these keys (thankfully there's a glitch, which bypasses the entire puzzle).The Skill Gem power-ups were supposed to be timer-based, but due to incorrect naming in the code, the timers never run out, meaning you can use them indefinitely.All seven gems themselves are very broken, and they are:The blue gem gives you a burst of speed, which can be spammed infinitely to speed through levels.The red gem can be used to slow down time. This includes the level timer, making it easier to get high ranks.The green gem creates a tornado around Sonic, damaging everything close to him.The white gem allows Sonic to perform a more powerful and controllable homing attack.The sky blue gem makes Sonic throw a small gem, and wherever it lands, Sonic will zip toward that location. However its range is not unlimited, and it can accidentally launch Sonic off the stage.The yellow gem creates a yellow-colored thunder shield around Sonic, similar to the lightning/magnetic shield from older games. While it can only take one hit, nothing is preventing the player from simply making another one right after he gets hit.The purple emerald shrinks you down and gives you infinite jumps. Because the emerald powerups last forever, Sonic can skip huge chunks of his levels by jumping infinitely. This makes it the most broken emerald in the game.Speaking of upgrades, Shadow and Silver only get a fraction of the upgrades Sonic has:Shadow gets the Light Dash, and three Chaos powers, the Chaos Snap, Chaos Lance, and Chaos Blast, none of which are really that useful.Silver gets a pathetic Dash move that covers very little distance, a wider pickup radius, a Throw-All move that's self-explanatory, and a slam attack that stuns all enemies within range.While not as much as Shadow the Hedgehog, this game tries way too hard to take itself seriously. Some examples include:In the last story, Sonic gets killed by the main villain (albeit temporarily). His facial expression isnt helping either which makes the scene look unintentionally comedic.Crisis City, most notably being horribly out-of-place in Sonic universe due to its dark and gritty tone.Speaking of Crisis City, the Mach speed section at the end of the stage is the worst one of the lot; there are so many obstacles that are hard to avoid, plus you have to deal with debris being thrown at you from behind as well, with no indication of where it comes from. There are also moments where the camera spins around in front of Sonic, but the controls don't change to compensate for this new angle, making it feel disorienting.On that topic, the game's art direction received mixed reactions from fans since the more realistic people and settings clash with Sonic and the company's more cartoony aesthetics. It's very inconsistent, and while it was a running theme in other Sonic games like Sonic Adventure, and its sequel, Shadow the Hedgehog, and later Sonic Unleashed, those games at least had a cartoony appearance. In this game, however, it is very glaring with its mediocre models and more realistic environments.Eggman's realistic design was heavily panned for being incredibly disturbing and falling straight into the depths of Uncanny Valley since he was never meant to look realistic in the first place. Elise's design was also noted for being too pale and looking like a poor man's version of a character designed by Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts character designer, Tetsuya Nomura.Constant scripted events and autopilot sections in the levels. Often you can find yourself not pressing any button for over 20 seconds while the game plays itself (for example, you can beat the Shadow hang gliding sections without even touching a single button). Sonic's version of Tropical Jungle works the same way for the first 20 seconds of the stage.Nothing happens in Sonic's story. All of the important backstories of Princess Elise and Solaris are told in Shadow and Silver's stories. With Sonic (you know, the main character in the entire series), it's just the completely pointless scuffle with Dr. Eggman complete with Elise getting kidnapped five times. As such, they all have countless flaws with their characterization, mainly due to bad writing and retcons (as discussed above).Sonic's personality shifts from a cool hero with an attitude into most of the time a serious one with no humor. Also, Blaze and Knuckles (Despite being likable) both act out of character and don't serve any real purpose.Elise is by far one of the biggest "damsel in distress" characters in video game history (surpassing even Princess Peach of the Super Mario Bros. franchise, which is quite the accomplishment), since she gets kidnapped so often, it's ridiculous, which makes her feel like the Sonic embodiment of Don Bluth’s version of Thumbelina. She has the power of Iblis inside her, which is extremely powerful yet she rarely uses it (as it only triggers if she sheds a single tear, which in itself is incredibly stupid); making her a poor man's version of Jean Grey (only without becoming a strong female lead). That being said, the player can use the "Iblis Shield" in the levels that have Sonic carrying her around.Silver himself, while not as bad as Elise and still a good character, can be naive most of the time to the point where he gets duped by Mephiles quicklySpeaking of the mad doctor himself, this incarnation of Dr. Eggman is easily one of the worst incarnations of Eggman ever executed. His personality was completely watered down by taking away his iconic, comedic, and villainous charm and being reduced into a straightforward, typical, and predictably fallible antagonist because of being depicted as a very "serious" character (alongside Sonic) who doesn't do much in the story despite being an antagonist, all because of the game's clustered writing. He has little to nothing exactly enjoyable or notable to say about this incarnation of Eggman, which is carried to the point where his excessive levels of seriousness make Eggman rather boring, forgettable, unremarkable, bland, and generic than you'd expect.Painfully long and frequent loading times. The worst instance of this is when you do a side mission. First, you accept the mission, it loads, then the NPC explains what you must do, and it loads again, you finish the mission, it loads, the NPC praises/criticizes you, it loads. It takes four loading screens to do a side quest, sometimes the load screens will last longer than the side quests. The worst offender has to be "The Mathematician's Training", where Shadow has to answer math problems, of which there are six in total, and every single question has its loading screen, so that's eight loading screen you have to sit through for the mission.What's even worse is that there is a side quest in Shadow's story where you help a G.U.N. soldier, and it has only one loading screen. Why can't all of the levels be like this?It appears the primary reason for all the loading is that the overworld maps are modeled as finite-state machines: in other words, to change anything in a map, the game has to dump everything out of RAM, reload the base state of the map, then apply a state transition to it to create a specific state. This method is the most quick-and-dirty method of creating a functional loader and is probably a result of rushed development.In the Let's Play of the PS3 version for the Something Awful forums by pokecan, out of a 20:16:32 full runtime, 2:24:31 was loading screens. This amounts to almost 12% of the total playtime.The three main hedgehogs (Sonic, Shadow, and Silver) are buggy due to their controls and odd design choices for their gameplay:Sonic plays just as he did in previous games, but he doesn't run as fast, as he runs slower than Omega and Blaze, his Homing Attack has a pause between attacks, he can't jump while using the Spin Dash, and his Homing Attack has strange tracking, sometimes slinging past enemies instead of hitting them.Shadow's gameplay is similar to Sonic's, except he lacks the Spin Dash and his Homing Attack is more combat-based which is a bit polarizing, as you're just tapping the jump button until the enemy dies. He also has some Chaos powers which, while cool, are bland and can sometimes break.Silver's gameplay is using his psychokinesis. Think of the Stasis Field in Gravity Rush in that he can grab objects in the environment and fling them at enemies, only it's not very accurate, he can't aim his projectiles, they can simply bounce off the enemies about 40% of the time, and he can accidentally throw stuff into another one of the objects he's holding due to the poor spread. He can also grab enemy projectiles and throw those, and enemies themselves; however, Silver needs to stun them first by pimp-slapping them. Silver doesn't have any other means of attack in this game; he is completely dependent on his psychokinesis for defense. He is also much slower than Sonic, Shadow, and even Amy, so he can't avoid obstacles or enemies as easily.There are also six playable side characters (two for each hedgehog), but they are rarely used and are just as buggy as the main characters, if not worse. Knuckles and Rouge are arguably the buggiest characters in the game.Tails' gameplay is similar to that of Sonic Heroes (when he is on his own). He can fly, but his flight has too much forward momentum and he'll drop like a brick after a short period. He can attack enemies with Dummy Ring Bombs, which are slow, but effective against enemies. However, they create fake rings upon exploding, and if you take damage, there is no way to tell the difference between real and fake rings. Tails are also agonizingly slow on the ground to the point where one has to wonder how he can hover when he is moving that slowly.Rouge doesn't use hand-to-hand combat as she did in Sonic Adventure 2. Instead, she uses bombs, similar to Tails. She can throw 5 bombs at once making stronger enemies look like low-level mooks, but she can get stuck on walls when climbing.For E-123 Omega, he only has a pea shooter and homing missiles that sometimes work. His attacks also lack the impact that they had in Sonic Heroes. He also has a hover ability that can be easily exploited by mashing the jump button to skip certain parts of levels, and he is surprisingly fast for a robot.Knuckles is slow, has unnaturally heavy gliding, is hard to use, and has terrible combat with such poor hit detection that it's impossible to kill enemies quickly. Like Rouge, Knuckles can also get stuck on walls when climbing.Amy has reverted to her Sonic Adventure play style, which wasn't that good but it's much worse here; terrible ground speed, a delayed hammer swing, a double jump that gives extra height but kills forward momentum, and she can inexplicably turn invisible for some reason. She also can't even perform air attacks anymore.Blaze's gameplay style is similar to what she did in Sonic Rush, she runs faster than Sonic, her Homing Attack is quicker and flowing-free and her double jump is more functional than Amy's double jump, making her the most functional character in the entire game. However, she is only used three times, as she only has two playable segments and one full stage to herself and she has very little-to-no impact on the storyline whatsoever.Speaking of Elise, both Elise (mostly severe) and Silver (although not as severe as Elise) were poorly received. After Sonic '06, Elise has never been seen in any future Sonic games. Silver, on the other hand, had gained more popularity than Elise, becoming a side character in the franchise, appearing in the Sonic Rivals games, and having minor roles in the Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games series, Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, Sonic Generations, Sonic Forces and Team Sonic Racing. Silver usually gives people Sonic '06 flashbacks, which might be why he doesn't appear often.The NPCs look like uglier versions of the character models in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and they also have Sonic Adventure level animations. Also, they have fewer models compared to San Andreas, making NPC clumping a very common phenomenonIn Shadow the Hedgehog, Shadow can use vehicles at various points, but save for the few sections where they are mandatory like in White Acropolis, Kingdom Valley, and Radical Train, they aren't necessary and you can bypass using them with no penalty. It doesn't help that the vehicles (except for the Glider) control very poorly.The buggy is slow and handling is somewhat clunky, and you need it to complete White Acropolis by blowing up the searchlight towers.The bike is required to beat Radical Train, but the handling feels loose, and changing direction feels very haphazard.The Hovercraft is the most used vehicle, and is the worst one of the bunch; it feels very slippery to handle, and is used in the worst environments for it, those being:Kingdom Valley, where Shadow can be blindsided by collapsing pillars that will kill him on impact.Dusty Desert, where Shadow has to pass through rising gates to gain entrance to the ruins, but there's no reason to do this it just over-complicates things, and the terrain makes it easy to flip the Hovercraft over, which results in death.Wave Ocean is the tamest, due to calm waters and a straightforward path to the exit from the moment you mount the Hovercraft.The Glider functions as it should, but it is only used three times in short 30-second sections of stages.Most of the boss fights are poorly designed, with the three most infamous ones being Silver and Iblis' second phase. Silver can grab and throw you into a wall while saying his most infamous quotes: "It's no use!" followed by "Take this!" or "This will end it!" along with "How about this!?" in another form. This boss fight is also infamous due to a glitch where he can repeatedly throw you against a wall, without giving you any time to recover. When this happens, you keep unintentionally picking up at least one ring, so you're left stuck in an endless loop. Iblis' second phase is not as bad as Silver, but it's also infamous for being little more than a waiting game. You have to fight both bosses twice, once with Sonic, and again with Shadow.Silver doesn't fare any better; because he's slower, it is harder for him to avoid Sonic and Shadow's Homing Attacks. Sometimes, they'll hit Silver from the other end of the arena, and he can't grab them as easily since they'll immediately break free as if nothing happened, which is so bad because it doesn't work the other way around!Cheap enemy placements that give several enemies a chance to pop up out of nowhere and ambush you.The tenth and final stage (The End of the World) is one of the worst levels in the game, and one of the worst final levels in the entire franchise. It's painfully long, has seven separate loading screens that each lasting over 20 seconds, doesn't let you play as Sonic or Blaze (they are already dead in this segment keep in mind), forces players to deal with every other character's problems at once, is filled with poorly placed wormholes that are instant kills and starts you off with six lives. It's difficult to get more and if you get a game over, you have to do the whole level all over again! If you get hit by an enemy when next to these things you are left vulnerable, and to top it off, invincibility frames do not protect you from them!No autosave feature. For example, if you forget to save manually and get a game over on the first level, you have to start the whole game all over again from the opening cutscene as demonstrated by James Rolfe.The only upside to this is that unlike another game that relies on manual saves, this game at least prompts players to save after finishing a level.The PS3 version didn't get anything exclusive like the Xbox 360 version.The Xbox 360 version got the Team Attack Amigo, the Very Hard Missions DLC for all three Amigo characters (Tails, Omega, and Blaze) & boss attacks DLC for all three hedgehogs, while the PS3 version only has the Very Hard DLC in North America. Sadly, other DLCs for PS3 were only released in Europe and Asia.Background themes based on the game were released for the Xbox 360, but not the PS3.The PS3 version is slightly inferior to the Xbox 360 version despite having extra development time since it has slightly longer load times (25 seconds while the Xbox 360 version loads in 20 seconds) and has a worse framerate than the 360 version. There's also no way to install the game onto the hard drive to reduce those problems.The gameplay is extremely repetitive and boring, as some parts of the game are automated during mach-speed sections and nearly all of the levels are the same with many segments being repeated and overreliance on awful combat, which can make completing the game very tiring and monotonous after 3 hours when you've already reached the final boss and it's made worse by the lack of replay value mentioned below in WINU#36.You collect medals that are similar to the emblems in previous 3D Sonic games, only this time you get absolutely nothing when you get them all, once again, due to the game being rushed. All you can get from them is an achievement in the 360 version.From this game onwards, Sonic begins to lose his character development that had been maintained from Sonic Adventure.The game has a co-op mode where two players can race each other toward the end of a level of their choice, but it's extremely unbalanced because Sonic is much faster than Shadow and Silver. Silver is too slow, but he can freeze the other player infinitely, which allows the Silver player to curb-stomp the other player.The cutscenes look extremely awkward and choppy due to the awful character animations and poor lip-syncing since the mouths of the characters rarely move and the characters' movements feel like they are recorded in low-budget motion capture similar to Foodfight!, an infamous animated movie, which looks jarring and is out of place for the cartoony nature of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise since the series is known for having great cutscenes with expressive animations and beautiful graphics (even Rise of Lyric had amazing cutscenes despite the terrible graphics), something that this game is lacking, making the cutscenes uncomfortable to watch and ugly at best.As previously mentioned in WINU#27, the achievements are poorly written because they don't offer enough information on their requirements and have improper grammar. For example, to unlock the Blue Phantom achievement, you have to get all of the Skill Gems as Sonic. The description says "Super Sonic: Obtain the all moves".Worst case of all, while this has never been revealed, neither Sega nor Sonic Team has issued a traditional apology for the game, it's clear they're also okay with joking about the game's execution with fans. Even more so, they have clearly never bothered to release a single patch for both consoles, despite making changes and fixes with the DLC missions and even the re-release on the Greatest Hits collection which adds to how bizarre this whole game is. No patches were likely made because most of the game's problems were baked into its core concept.The title of the game can be confusing for newcomers, whether it's a remake or reboot.Little to no replay value. Unlike the previous Sonic games (yes even including Shadow the Hedgehog) where it has great replay value due to the levels being fun to repeat, this game doesn't live up to that value because of how unplayable it is and how forgettable is it due to the problems above.Many of the enemies and bosses have way too much health and it takes very long to drain their health bar when damaging them, and since many of them act like bullet sponges and are hard to take down as said above in WINU#22 and WINU#23, it makes the player feel underpowered and quite weak as the characters are unable to take advantage of the enemies and bosses with their attacks that are too weak to take them down, which makes the game feel even more annoying and frustrating than it already is.Many of the missions in the hub-worlds are extremely tedious and tend to be extremely annoying at best since they are often way too complicated and complex with zero objectives and some of them seem to drag on for too long, making some of them almost impossible due to most of them being badly-designed or just suffer from bad programming.One example is the mission where the captain of Soleanna Royal Guards, Pietro, wants the player to guess which one of the guards is the captain as a request for Sonic to enter Soleanna New City, but the main issue with this mission is that it's completely luck-based since when talking to the other guards, they have no clue who the captain is, which forces the player to talk to Pietro many more times and repeat talking to the other guards again, only for Pietro to reveal that he was the captain the whole time, which was not a good move on the developers part and nearly makes the game unbeatable and make this mission come off as a very badly-made prank from Sonic Team themselves.Overall, it's a disgrace to the franchise and nearly ruined the reputation of Sonic in general, since every game after this would receive mixed to negative reviews while there were games like Sonic Colors, Sonic Unleashed, and Sonic Mania were beloved by the fandom and praised by critics, it wasn't enough to recover from the damage caused by this game and it almost caused the franchise to go on hiatus due to the negative reception only for the game to sell well and Sega made more games in the series after that. Sega themselves actually hate the game itself and desperately try to ignore it in every way possible because of how infamous it is within the gaming community and Sonic fandom, and since the game has only been acknowledged in one level within Sonic Generations and in one episode of the recent Knuckles TV Show, and even made fun of it with Twitter accounts and even Lego Dimensions, which shows that this game has no impact upon the series and only has put a curse on the series that still hasn't gone away even to this day, which shows how incompetent Sega has become with the series nowadays thanks to this mess and explains why Sonic has become so hated these days.

Redeeming QualitiesAmazing music, especially the main theme, "His World" (probably one of the best video game themes ever made), and Silver's theme, "Dreams of an Absolution". Other standout tracks include the second half of Wave Ocean (A.K.A. The Inlet), the first halves of Radical Train and Flame Core, along Aquatic Base 1. Crush 40's cover of "All Hail Shadow" is also great too.Solaris Phase 2Most of the characterization is good:Shadow, Knuckles (despite him being out of character here), Tails, Amy, Rouge, and Omega (despite his poor voice) are still likable characters and have some of the best portrayals in this game, and unlike other characters, they weren't flanderized at all and still feel like the same characters they were in previous games.Despie his Flaws, Silver is a Good Character introduced here. He's a naive optimistic but desperate hero who wants to save the future.Mephiles is a decent villain who is different from other villains in the franchise, he does not show his plans unlike Robotnik (aka Eggman) or others, he manipulates people as it suits him, and he does not care about anything, and he just wants destruction and wants to destroy everything out of sheer hatred towards humanity. He was also the only villain to kill Sonic (albeit temporarily).Despite not aging well, the graphics look very nice (even though it looks way too realistic and out of place).Despite also feeling out-of-place, the opening cutscene is pretty awesome to watch along with the other CGI animation scenes.There still are a few good bosses here and there. The Egg Wyvern boss is a nice call back to the Egg Viper boss from Sonic Adventure.The Final Boss Solaris is good and is considered one of the best final bosses in any Sonic GameSpeaking of which, the game has a lot of callbacks to SA1, one being the Whale Chase scene from Emerald Coast.The story does have funny moments here and there: the possibly unintentionally hilarious scene where Shadow uses the power of Chaos Control to kick Silver in the back of the head is a stand-out example, along with the revelation that Eggman/Robotnik has robot glasses that always know where the Chaos Emeralds are.The level design is mostly solid, and the few issues have been fixed in Sonic P-06The story is mostly good it's just the few nonsensical moments in each of the stories that brings the story downThere are numerous good lines such as:"My, that's a pretty snazzy performance there!""Even if you believe everyone in the world will be against you... Know that I'll always remain by your side.""If the world chooses to become my enemy... I will fight like I always have!""The present day... The here and now that you've stolen... Time to take it back!"Despite what's mentioned in WINU#7, Blaze has good chemistry with Silver. Plus the ending where she sacrifices herself to get rid of Iblis once and for all is nothing short of saddening, despite her sacrifice being retconned due to the game's story erasing itself at the end.Some glitches in this game are very fun to use and watch; especially the floating box glitch.Some of the glitches can also be fun for some laughs.Your mileage may vary, but the gold medals can offer some degree of replay value; you get one for completing the stage as you would, one for completing the Hard mode, one for S ranking each difficulty, and one more for collecting 10 silver medals in each stage. Each story has three extra gold medals; one for finding 30 silver medals in the hub worlds in each story, one for S ranking all ACT stages, and one for S ranking all town missions. This can help you practice the stage and potentially discover new secrets you may have missed in the main route.Mike Pollock's performance as Dr. Eggman is still fantastic and easily one of the best parts of the entire game, as he still had a great time voicing the character and does a great job at playing the character and feels like he's trying with his performance. Jason Griffith as both Sonic and Shadow, Lisa Ortiz as Amy Rose, and Dan Green as Mephiles are also great as well and Pete Capella is at least good as Silver most of the time (excluding the annoying catchphrases).Blaze is the only functional playable character and is the best to play as.The Glider in Shadow's story is Decently Functional is is the only well sone Vehicle in Shadow's Story.It spawned a fan remaster which has the goal to correct as many flaws as possible, named Sonic P-06.The concept of this game is at least cool, despite the atrocious execution.If Sega had the time to finish the game and probably delayed the game to 2007, it would be a lot better (though it most likely would end up being in the "Average games" category).Despite all of the problems with the games, it can still be fun, especially if you enjoy playing bad games.Reception
"What were they thinking?"The Shit ScaleGames that are debatably badHigh level of shit contaminationThe very high categoryThe severe zoneDr. Jekyll and Mr. HydeMajor code red👆This product belongs to the "High Level of Shit Contamination" category of the AVGN's Shit Scale.
The game at first was hyped, and fans had very high hopes for the game, with most of them expecting it to repair the damage Shadow the Hedgehog had done to the franchise. However, due to pressure from the Christmas rush and the PlayStation 3 launching, the game was released as a high-unplayable alpha build with little testing.
The game was a massive disappointment to fans and critics alike and is often considered the point at which the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise hit rock bottom. It is not only considered to be one of the worst Sonic games but also one of the worst video games of all time in general.
Somecallmejohnny played the game a lot of times, and he said that he did enjoy the game a bit. He even said that it's even more enjoyable than Shadow the Hedgehog.
ClementJ64 refused to make a Let's Play of it as it is his number one worst game he ever played, despite getting numerous requests from his fans, and instead, made a 7-part review criticizing the game in every single way possible as he and the game get worse in each part.
Sega delisted the game from retailers in 2010, following its decision to remove all Sonic games with below-average Metacritic scores to increase the value of the brand. Since the game was poorly received by critics and fans, the game was removed from the Xbox Marketplace and the PlayStation Store. Only the DLC remains in the stores. Despite this, Microsoft relisted the game on the Xbox 360 Marketplace on 24 May 2022 with no prior warning.
Legacy
A fan project is aiming to develop a build of the game for PC with all (or at least a significant number of) the gameplay problems and bugs fixed. ChaosX released the Sonic the Hedgehog P-06 demo (Project 06) on April 19, 2019. The video received 3,000 likes within one week.
TriviaSometimes during the Egg Wyvern boss, after playing for a couple of minutes, the boss suddenly stops and the screen goes to black, skipping the entire boss. You can get an easy S rank because of this.Sonic '06 is one of the few games that the port version released earlier than the original version. In this case, the Xbox 360 version, which is a port, despite being released earlier than the PlayStation 3 version. This is because Sega made a contract with Microsoft.Silver the Hedgehog's "It's no use" line became a meme.Many of Silver's gameplay mechanics were originally being developed for Fifth Phantom Saga, a first-person shooter project being developed by Sonic Team around the same time as a PlayStation 3 exclusive (it was even revealed as the first game running on that system at the E3 2005 showcase), but it was ultimately canceled.The development team was split halfway during the development, as one team worked on this game and the other team worked on the game Sonic and the Secret Rings for the Nintendo Wii.In 2010, SEGA delisted the game as a downloadable title from the Xbox Live Marketplace because they felt the game was harming the Sonic brand by being available for purchase, but was later relisted likely by complete accident on May 24, 2022, for a mere $5 (either that or Sega wanted to make a quick buck off those who either wanted to see how bad the game was or liked it ironically), where it's currently meeting a decent number of sales by Xbox 360 owners and the Sonic fanbase as we speak.A port of the game for PC was announced but was never released due to the terrible reception of the game. A Wii version was also in development but due to the Wii's limitations, it was reworked into Sonic and The Secret Rings.Silver's Theme Song "Dreams of an Absolution" is an unintentional remix of Green Hill Zone's theme music, and the songwriter said he didn't realize he had mixed the music into the song.There was a plan to allow players to obtain a gem and allow a player to be Super Sonic in regular gameplay stages, but the idea was dropped due to time constraints.This was the last game in the franchise to be produced by the franchise conceiver, Yuji Naka, who left midway through the project and was not credited for his involvement in the game's development. Immediately after leaving Sega and Sonic Team, he founded his own independent development company Prope, where he made games like Let's Tap, Ivy the Kiwi and Rodea the Sky Soldier. In 2018, he went on to join Square Enix where he directed the critical and financial disappointment that was Balan Wonderworld, and shortly after the release of Balan Wonderworld, he departed from Square Enix and returned to Prope, which was reduced to one employee, this time to work on simple smartphone games using the Unity engine, but it was then revealed by Naka himself that he was fired from the company before the game was released, resulting in him filling a lawsuit against them.There is constant debate over which game is worse, this (Sonic '06) or Balan Wonderworld.Like Sonic Adventure 2, SnapCube's fandub made this game popular for a little bit, while introducing more memes, such as Ke$ha: Die Young (marching band arrangement), "Ha ha, ha ONE!", "Tilted Towers", "Speak for yourself, motherf**ker!", "I'm not in the sky, dicknips!", "Welcome to my Gamer Pad!", "Prepare for my ultimate grand slam!", "Finally god, Take me!", "The audacites of this bitch..." and "Downloading weed.exe".Mephiles the Dark is the only villain in the entire series who successfully killed Sonic, albeit temporarily, since he was resurrected before the final boss with Solaris.This is the only main series Sonic game to have its story erased from history, due to Elise blowing out the Flame of Hope, erasing Solaris, Mephiles, and Iblis from existence and preventing the events of the game from ever happening, meaning the canonical timeline goes straight from Shadow the Hedgehog to Sonic Unleashed.The game traumatized SEGA even today, as they refuse to be connected to the game in any way, and even in certain mobile games you can't name your character Sonic 06 and if you did, the game will consider it a racial slur. The game is so infamous that they even banned you from naming your character after it in certain mobile games.Galleries

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is a roguelike game released in 2014, designed by Edmund McMillen, developed and published by Nicalis. It is a remake of The Binding of Isaac.
Contents
Plot
Isaac and his religious mother lived alone on a small house on a hill. One day, while Isaac’s mom is watching Christian broadcasts on her TV when she hears the voice of “God”. The voice says that Isaac is filled with sin and that he needs to be saved, so Mom takes away all of Isaac’s toys and clothes. The voice calls to her a second time and tells her to lock Isaac away from the evils of the world, so she locks him in his room. The voice calls to Mom one more time, telling her to sacrifice Isaac to prove her devotion to God. As Mom grabs a butcher’s knife from the kitchen and heads to his room, Isaac finds a trapdoor under the rug under his bed. Panicking, Isaac jumps down the trapdoor and falls down into the monster-filled basement below.
Why It Rocks
Tons of replay value thanks to everything being randomly generated making the game very addicting.Tons of fun and unique items.Brimstone lets Isaac shoot a red laser from his mouth. It's powerful, but it reduces Isaac's tears stat.Ipecac lets Isaac lob green, explosive balls. But the lowered tears stat is not the only concern. The tears' explosions can hurt Isaac.Fetus in a Jar and Epic Fetus let Isaac shoot bombs and rockets respectively. They synergize with Isaac's bomb effects.The Wafer lets Isaac only take one half heart of damage from most sources of damage.The Bible not only grants flight, it can also defeat Mom and Mom's Heart/It Lives.The soundtrack by Ridiculon, while not as charming as Danny Baranowsky's soundtrack for the original game, is good.Multiple playable characters with differing stats and abilities.Isaac, while not feeling special at first, can start with a D6 (if unlocked) that lets him reroll items. Good for when you don't like the item shown on a pedestal.Magdalene has 4 hearts compared to Isaac's 3, and she starts with the "Yum Heart!" item heals her by one whole heart.Cain starts with Lucky Foot which adds +1 to the luck stat and increases his chance of winning from things like Beggars and Slot Machines.Judas starts with Book of Belial. This item increases his damage stat for one room.??? is a character with slightly better stats than Isaac. It cannot have Red Hearts; health up items just add Soul Hearts to the 3 Soul Hearts it already starts with. Starts with an item that summons a pile of poop.Eve starts with Whore of Babylon and Dead Bird. These items activate when she takes damage and when she has at most one red heart respectively.Samson has Bloody Lust. The more damage Samson takes, the more damage he deals. This lasts for the current floor.Azazel can fly and shoots a short-range Brimstone. Starts with 3 Black Hearts.Lazarus starts with an extra life. If he dies, he'll come back as Lazarus Risen, with greater stats.Eden is random. Random stats, random items and random look.Even if the pixel-art graphics have a different feel compared to the original game, the graphics are not only drawn well, they were also with multiple redesigns in Repentance.Devil Rooms that have a higher chance of appearing if you take no red heart damage on a floor encouraging cautious play, and so do Angel Rooms.Devil Deals where you can give up health for powerful items, and Angel Rooms where you can fight a boss by blowing up the statue.Multiple cool final bosses that feel unique, such as Mom, as her fight is in a room with 4 doors, and you have to avoid both what comes out of the doors and her foot stomping on Isaac sometimes.Challenging difficulty.An interesting take on Christianity.Greed Mode: A enemy rush mode centered on clearing waves of enemies for coins is a fun time.Tons of things to unlock. The Steam version of the game has 637 achievements!Pills that can give random effects, and Tarot Cards, where some refer to Major Arcana cards.Fun bosses, especially Mom, Mom's Heart/It Lives, .It got 3 expansions that add tons of new content. Repentance is the biggest of them all due to adding almost everything from the popular mod Antibirth and adding even more to the game's story; you can make Isaac return to his home!Tons of challenges that place certain handicaps on you or give you a unique load out.Loads of mods from the Steam Workshop page to boost your gameplay experience and maybe even get a few laughs.
Bad Qualities
Some items range from mediocre to flat out detrimental. Thankfully, some, like Aquarius and Holy Water, were buffed in Repentance.Some characters have flaws that make them a bit difficult and frustrating to play as:???, prior to being buffed in Repentance, was rather weak because the added difficulty was not traded off for any interesting mechanics.The Lost was the worst character prior to Afterbirth, because he didn't start with any special items or abilities other than being able to fly, and it doesn't help that he dies in a single hit.Jacob and Esau can be quite difficult to manage, since you have to control and maintain two characters at the same time.Some challenges are awful and/or not really worth it (such as SPEED! or BRAINS!).The expansions cost a few dollars too much.Greedier Mode is just greed mode with more enemies, less coins rewarded, and a tedious 2nd phase for Ultra Greed.Much like Noita, the random factor can and will screw you over, sometimes resulting in difficulty spikes.Certain mods, or mods in general, could cause the game to crash on startup or during a run. However, it's excusable, since it's normally a problem with the mod itself and not the game.

Ren & Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon" (a.k.a. Ren and Stimpy's All New Adult Party Cartoon) is an American animated television series created by John Kricfalusi and produced in 2003 by Spümcø. It aired on Spike in the summer of 2003. The series is a spin-off of the critically acclaimed Nickelodeon series The Ren & Stimpy Show. The series was not only Spümcø's last animated series before its closure in 2005 but also the last TV show that Kricfalusi ever made before his retirement in 2018 due to sexual misconduct allegations, as well as killing the Ren & Stimpy franchise and preventing the franchise getting a revival or a reboot until August 5, 2020, when ViacomCBS announced a Ren & Stimpy reboot for Comedy Central (one of three reboots for the network) without John Kricfalusi; a new creative team will be involved, though Billy West and a few of the original writers have been confirmed to return. Bob Camp was not involved in the said reboot as evidenced on Twitter. The series had six episodes, but only three aired on its network. The last three were later released on DVD on July 18, 2006. The show also lasted only two months in 2003 before being canceled due to negative reception.

Why It's An EEDIOT!!!The idea of turning a show that was geared towards kids into an adult version sounded like a great idea on paper, in fact, the airing of "Man's Best Friend" proved that the show's ideas could've been like that episode, being an adult themed show, but not too forced and still enjoyable, unfortunately, this show subscribed to what it would become Season 8-present of Family Guy and Velma instead of something like Klasky Csupo's Duckman and Immigrants, DNA Productions' Nanna & Lil' Puss Puss, Samurai Jack's fifth season or any of Adult Swim or 20th Television Animation's shows like Rick and Morty, Futurama, Praise Petey, Metalocalpyse, Primal, King of the Hill, Duncanville, Bob's Burgers, Hazbin Hotel, Central Park, The Great North and The Simpsons, thanks to its poor writing.Adult Party Cartoon, despite being created by the same guy who created the original, mostly feels like a completely different show (minus Ren and Stimpy), and feels like a complete parody of its original concept and former self. The concept of Ren & Stimpy, in general, is that Ren & Stimpy has been a parody of the Golden Age of American Animation from 1928-1969. That concept is what made Ren & Stimpy also work. Here with APC, it's completely different given the fact (again) that this reboot makes Ren & Stimpy a grotesque parody of its former self, as well as its original concept.For this reason above, despite John Kricfalusi returning to work on this show for the first time since the original Ren & Stimpy's first two seasons, it flopped miserably and ended up canceling the series very quickly.To make matters worse, except for "Altruists", this show's episodes were originally written for Nickelodeon show which were rejected, so they were touched up to be as raunchy as possible without touching up anything of importance.This show is a testament to how John Kricfalusi shouldn't have been the only guy in charge with complete creative freedom.It sucks out the charm of the original 1991-1996 Nicktoon and ruined everything on how special Ren & Stimpy was on Nickelodeon.To be fair, similar to the golden era of Family Guy one of the main reasons that made the original Ren & Stimpy beloved by fans is how Nickelodeon's censorship and restrictions not only controlled its amount of adult and gross-out content, yet it encouraged the writers of the original Ren & Stimpy to be more creative with their comedic gags and story executions, like how in the episode "Rubber Nipple Salemen" from season 2 of the original show Nickelodeon only allowed the episode to mention the "nipples" joke rather sparingly while encouraging the writers to be creative in coming up with other jokes outside the use of "nipples" for the rest of the episode. But since Adult Party Cartoon is aimed at adults and therefore is unaffected by censorship unlike the original show, this resulted in the show losing its creativity in favor of the overuse of gross-out and raunchy humor without any network censorship interference whatsoever. Additionally, there are lot of swearing which was not a thing in the original series, while this can usually be used in a better way, here it feels forced.Like Popee the Performer, the fourth season onwards of The Loud House, the sixth to eighth seasons of SpongeBob SquarePants, and the Gene Deitch era of Tom and Jerry, it relies way too much on gratuitous over-the-top violence instead of slapstick, but it's cranked up to 11 here to the point that it makes even the most graphically violent of adult animation like Mr. Pickles and modern Family Guy seem nonviolent in comparison.Much like the original show, this show suffered the same Development hell issue, but worse, to the extent of John pulling the episode back from airing just to touch up some more and add more content, because of this, the last 3 episodes couldn't air because of how bloated they turned out.The humor is nothing more than absurd shock value and constant gross-out humor that is far too violent, cruel, vulgar, disturbing, and disgusting even for its intended adult audience. In terms of the gross-out humor, it's used continuously to almost no end and it never gets a break. What's worse is that, even for adult animation standards, this show relies more on gratuitous over the top violence instead of slapstick, which is something that the original Ren and Stimpy didn't even have in the first place. Sure it sometimes goes too far in all the seasons of Ren and Stimpy (even seasons 3-5), but not to this extent.With the sole exception of "Ren Seeks Help", the episodes of this show are nothing more than a bunch of unfunny jokes with no setup or punchline, with obnoxious and loud cartoon sound effects, Altruists being the biggest offenders. While Ren and Stimpy aren't exactly known for its plot, even its episodic plots are nonsensical and come off as an excuse to make jokes John thought were funny.With the sole exception of "Ren Seeks Help", while the animation is still fluid, but subdued in other episodes, and in some instances, some scenes have a dialogue and the character's mouth not moving, also, some scenes were lazily animated like one of the girls in "Naked Beach Frenzy" did not have any animation of turning left and right, only mirrored, Ren's dancing in the flute dance also had Ren moving his arms in 2 frames and also only mirrored without any animation.The characters, while they do look like the original show, their designs are different and a nightmare for the animators to replicate.Episodes like "Stimpy's Pregnant" and "Fire Dogs 2" contain false advertising and misleading titles at the same time because in "Stimpy's Pregnant", Stimpy actually isn't pregnant, he is just constipated and they had to have him bring out the poop baby anyway just for the sake of it. "Fire Dogs 2" had nothing to do with the first "Fire Dogs", it had nothing, but pointless filler and focused more on a character who is an obese unfunny version of Fireman Sam who makes Homer Simpson look like a railway engine driver.Although the theme song is catchy, it reuses the same intro as the original 1991 show without any attempts at changing the animation except the title card, which is incredibly lazy and uncreative, and the theme song is somewhat pitched up. In addition, it is misleading for the most part, as it deceives viewers into watching the original Ren & Stimpy when it is Ren & Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon".The Slapstick went from clever and funny to mean-spirited and cruel, the biggest example being Ren endlessly beating Stimpy for no reason.The titular duo was massively flanderized beyond recognition. Ren becomes more bitter, abusive, and violent and does not care for his best friend Stimpy, similarly, Stimpy has become more stupid and became a doormat for Ren's abuse, which is cringe to watch.Ren suffers the ABSOLUTE WORST flanderization and character derailment of all the characters of Ren & Stimpy, as he is portrayed as a monstrous, unpleasant, and psychopathic moron who tormented animals and bugs in his childhood to inflict pain on others, he murdered his therapist after being called crazy, acted like a mindless pervert to bimbo women with no good qualities, has shown no reasons why he is scary and cruel like how he had his right reasons to act the way that he was in the old show, and seemed to care a lot less about Stimpy. This is an example of doing a sour-tempered character backward.Speaking of Ren, the episode Ren Seeks Help, has been considered one of the worst episodes in cartoon history because it portrays Ren as a tormentor who murders and harms helpless animals for his pleasure (as mentioned above). There was no reason for Ren to act the way he is other than for shock humor, but in the old show, he had his right reasons to be scary and cruel because of the way he is, and in Adult Party Cartoon, it was done all backward. Ren is portrayed even more crueler and unfunny as it is as of Ren Seeks Help. Why did Matthieu Cousin and Butch Hartman ruin Ren's character? No seriously, what have they done?Stimpy, who was portrayed as ditzy, dumb, and happy-go-lucky in the original series, now he is now portrayed as a stereotypical gay character who is a huge doormat and punching bag for Ren for no reason, and acts extremely stupid to the point that it's more irritating and frustrating than funny, does pointless things to show how effeminate he is, and served no purpose to the show whatsoever.In some episodes, the actors would improvise their lines outside of lip-sync (in the tradition of the Fleischer Popeye shorts), which can look off-putting for fans of the original series.Many cruel moments are hard to stomach, such as the animal abuse scenes. This show takes the violence and horrid slapstick of The dark age of Tom and Jerry and amplifies it to eleven, in addition to the fluid animation, these moments are even more cruel.Many things in this show make no sense even by Ren and Stimpy standards.The widow's headless son, while he looks disturbing, is a subverted trope of faceless characters.Stimpy developing female features in "Stimpy's Pregnant", despite him being male.Plucky Duck having sex with Stimpy disguised as a female duck, giving birth to 3 cat/duck hybrids, which doesn't make any sense, as duck and cat DNAs are too different.Furless Stimpy looks less like a cat, and more of an uncanny human-cat hybrid, this is even more obvious in "Onward and Upward" when Ren punches him causing his bulbous nose to fall out and reveal a human nose in addition to human ears. While he did remove his nose occasionally in the original show and Altruists to reveal an empty spot, the human nose makes zero sense.The entirety of the episode "Stimpy's Pregnant", is about Stimpy, a male cat, literally getting pregnant with a poop baby and even gender-swaps himself from male to female because of it.In Altruists, a duck has sex with Stimpy while Stimpy pretends to be a female duck. And Stimpy, for some reason, gives birth to three duck and cat hybrids.In Ren Seeks Help, Ren somewhat screeches like a cat while killing Mr. Horse, even though he's a chihuahua.None of the recurring characters from the original show (save for the titular characters, Mr. Horse, Mr. and Mrs. Pipe, and the Fire Chief) such as Mr. Announcer Salesman, Muddy Mudskipper, Sven Hoek, and Powdered Toast Man make an appearance in this series. Not even George Liquor, a character John Kricfalusi uses in most of his projects.In some episodes, the actors would improvise their lines outside of lip-sync (in the tradition of the Fleischer Popeye shorts), which can look off-putting to fans of the original series.The infamous "Naked Beach Frenzy" is the worst in terms of content and "Altruists" in terms of pacing, while the latter did not have as much content and only is bloated because of the random jokes John K thought were funny, the former depicts one of John K's victims as one of the girls you're supposed to gaze on, which is borderline creepy and disturbing.Both episodes feature porn scenes disguised as jokes, while the gay sex in "Onward and Upward" was somewhat clever, in "Naked Beach Frenzy", there's the Shampoo Master with a faucet on his crotch, spilling white Shampoo to make it look like it's semen, also Ren putting towels on his aroused boner. In "Altruists", the infamous scene of Ren sawing a log on Stimpy's butt with a saw strapped to his crotch to simulate anal sex.There is a massive over-usage of stock sound effects (particularly from Hanna-Barbera) which are even often used at inappropriate times, unlike the original show. They sound weird too, like the pizza-eating one for example.Misleading title and false advertising: The word "party" in the title makes no sense as there is no indication that this show is made for adult parties and you could very well see it at any time. In the series' title card, you see a martini glass, a box of cigarettes, and a sentient condom and you will think they are characters from the series, but they are nowhere to be seen. Most likely the reason they are on the title card is to show that this is an adult cartoon, but then there are no martini and condom scenes in any of the episodes.Awful and unfunny episode ideas, patched up with ignorant jokes in some of them.Lots of scenes are drawn out and go on for way too long to the point that they often come off as nothing more than unneeded filler in general, like the toilet scenes in Fire Dogs 2 and some jokes in Altruists, for example.There are some jokes in some episodes that might seem boring or bad at first glance, but since most of them are references to John Kricfalusi's act of grooming minors, they come off as disgusting and disturbing. (I.e Ren bragging about how he impregnated Stimpy In "Stimpy's Pregnant", alluding to John impregnating Robyn Byrd when they had sex back in the Nickelodeon era, one of the girls in Naked Beach Frenzy is modeled after Katie Rice, even voiced by Katie Rice....)To make matters worse, the unproduced The Succubus episode, was supposed to portray Ren and Stimpy as John and Byrd respectively, in an attempt to get her to come back to him, the outlines themselves were atrocious and disgusting.According to Anne Marie, there was going to be a scene in Stimpy's pregnancy where Stimpy would coerce Ren into BDSM sex, ultimately, such a scene never ended up in production. [1]While Ren beats up Stimpy for his stupidity in the original show, it was funny, here, he just beats Stimpy for no reason, with the only instance in one episode where it felt like the original show, "Fire Dogs 2" was the biggest offense.This show overall killed the franchise, that is till 2024 when the series got rebooted by Comedy Central.Even John Kricfalusi didn't like this show as well since, in several interviews, he mentioned that while he does like the freedom that this show had due to lack of censorship, he was also just as disappointed as the others since he thought that the pacing is not good as well.This is also the show that killed its studio as Spümcø filed for bankruptcy after this show was canned, and did not receive any financial compensation from Spike TV as John Kricfalusi completely exhausted the allocated budget.This show completely vanished from mainstream TV after several reruns on Spike TV following its cancellation.

"Happy Happy Joy Joy!" QualitiesAt least the original series creator, John Kricfalusi despite being a horrible person, was involved, despite this show being different from the original series as mentioned above.After the series cancellation, John Kricfalusi was no longer involved with the Ren & Stimpy franchise, with a reboot currently in development as of 2024, which might be a slight improvement.The voice acting was decent despite how bad the show was. Eric Bauza's performance as Stimpy was good (when he's not crying, at least), and sounded pretty close to his old voice actor, Billy West. John Kricfalusi reprises his role as Ren and still does a good job voicing Ren.A handful of jokes were kinda funny, like "You're the pitcher, I'm the catcher!" in Onward and Upward.Thanks to the series being animated by Carbunkle Cartoons and Big Star Enterprises as well as Bob Jaques who is the animation director, the animation is still very detailed and fluid-like in the original.Mr. Horse, like in the original show, is a great character and is probably the only character in the series who was consistently good.He says what we've been all thinking about the show: "YOU NEED TO BE LOCKED UP, AWAY FROM DECENT NORMAL PEOPLE! WHAT KIND OF A LUNATIC ARE YOU?! YOU JUST WALK UP TO STRANGERS IN THE STREETS AND TELL THEM 'HEY MISTER, YOU WANNA HEAR SICK STORIES OF MY TWISTED YOUTH??'"Some of the other characters from the original show also returned such as Mr. and Mrs. Pipe in Altruists and Stinky in a brief cameo in Stimpy's Pregnant.Stimpy is a bit likable and is the most tolerable of the main duo.A few good scenes:The flute dance Tiger Rag from Fire Dogs 2 was entertaining and the only thing about Adult Party Cartoon that is memorable and passable and it also become the taunt for Ren and Stimpy in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl (Although the devs did state that it was unintentional).The scene in Fire Dogs 2 when Ralph Bakshi wakes up and it cuts to the realistic close up and then he yells: "AHHHHH!!!!! CIRCUS MIDGETS!!!! THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!"The scene at the beginning of Altruists where Ren beats up Stimpy felt pretty close to the old show.Ren remembering the first time meeting Stimpy was charming, but decent as said in Ren Seeks Help."PSYCHOLIGIST? ARE YOU NUTS?! I'M A HOOOOORSE!", and then another slapstick segment of Mr. Horse beating up Ren (he deserved it) for a little bit, which also felt pretty close to the old show.The theme song from the original series is still for a lot of people catchy and makes a comeback."Ren Seeks Help", while it's not good, and it's a bit disturbing, is still better than the non-Man's Best Friend episodes since it has a plot and it doesn't drag too much with unnecessary jokes, while Altruistrs had an interesting idea, it was butchered in the execution.There are 2 good episodes found in the show, but only if you count Man's Best Friend and the first "Fire Dogs".This show at least has well-designed title cards, except for Fire Dogs 2 and Ren Seeks Help.Despite being a huge departure from its original series, it is somewhat faithful to the source material, unlike other certain reboots.Despite being an awful reboot, it is nice to see another Ren and Stimpy-related media after 7 years.Despite its flaws, the 2024 reboot, is a major improvement over this one as mentioned in RQ# 1.

Canceled episodes"Life Sucks" - Ren explains to Stimpy that life sucks, much to Stimpy's horror. After that, they look extensively at life's past tragedies like the Children's Crusade. According to John Kricfalusi himself, this was meant to be a prequel episode to Ren Seeks Help. This suggests that this episode was the cause of Ren and Stimpy's argument, as it is never stated in Ren Seeks Help what Ren had done exactly. Production had begun on this episode, with some voice work and roughly a third of the storyboard completed at the time of the show's cancellation. This episode was also originally written for Nickelodeon.[2]"The Big Switch" - The supposed sequel to Ren Seeks Help, with it beginning with Stimpy no longer being tolerated by Ren's abuse as the two argue over which is better by being an idiot or a "psychotic asshole". They finally settle the argument by making a bet that they can switch roles for a day. The episode's basic premise would somewhat be loosely made into the Games Animation era episode, Who's Stupid Now?."Fishing Trip" - Ren & Stimpy go on a fishing trip in search of the elusive foul-mouthed bass. The episode's basic premise is loosely related to the season 3 episode Bass Masters and the unproduced Spümcø episode The Wilderness Adventure."The Wilderness Adventure" - George Liquor takes Ren & Stimpy hunting in the deep woods. The episode was originally written for Nickelodeon but was rejected several times. Michael Pataki was made to reprise his role as George Liquor. The storyboard for the rejected episode, however, was completed back in the 90s, as far as before the show started production, as one of the ideas would later used in the Season 2 episode The Great Outdoors. Two small portions of some of the storyboards of this episode had some voice work, sound effects, and music completed and put into part of the episode before the show's cancellation. [3] [4] [5]"My Little Ass" - A fake commercial that was supposed to be parody the series, My Little Pony. The script for the commercial was written when Kricfalusi was working on the new episodes for Spike, but it never came to fruition. (Source: John K. Interview - 08/19/03, WGN Radio) [6]"Powdered Toastman's Rolling Tobacco" - A second fake commercial. The commercial was going to mark the return of Powdered Toastman. The idea for the commercial was conceived, but the commercial itself was never fully produced. (Source: John K. Interview - 08/19/03, WGN Radio) [7]"Log for Moms" - A third fake commercial. This commercial was possibly going to be about a log specifically targeted to mothers. This commercial was planned, but it was never completed. [8]"The Succubus" - The plot of this episode was going to be based on some of Kricfalusi's experiences with Robyn Byrd. [9]"Untitled Shampoo Master Episode" - The character named Shampoo Master first appeared in Naked Beach Frenzy, and Kricfalusi was planning on making an entire episode dedicated to him. [10]"Untitled Mike Barrier Episode" - An episode about Mike Barrier's interests and fears that was planned to be made, though it never began production. [11]"Untitled Father Episode" - Another episode was going to be about the specific tastes and phobias of someone, this time being Kricfalusi's father. The episode was left unfinished. [12]Reception
Ren & Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon" was universally panned by critics, audiences and longtime Ren and Stimpy fans. It currently sits at 5.5/10 on IMDb. According to Wikipedia, Ren & Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon" has been listed as one of the worst TV shows of all time. PhantomStrider despises this cartoon and considers it to be the worst. Billy West (Stimpy's voice actor) rejected the series, calling it the worst thing that he had ever seen. Ren Seeks Help is heavily despised by the majority of the fans of the original series.
This show ruined both the reputations of Ren & Stimpy and Kricfalusi, because of the poor reviews that "Adult Party Cartoon" received, and the reason why Ren & Stimpy didn't come back for their animated movie to Nickelodeon nor were even set to appear in the canceled Nicktoons movie. Paramount Pictures, one of the subsidiaries of Paramount Global, also rejected a proposed theatrical short for Ren & Stimpy in the Spring of 2017, because they refused to let Nickelodeon do anything with the franchise. This show botched Spümcø, the studio that created Ren and Stimpy for Nickelodeon shutting down in 2005, due to Carbunkle Cartoons' lawsuit against Spümcø.
On January 28, 2020, a crowdfunded documentary about the original show and Kricfalusi called Happy Happy Joy Joy: The Ren & Stimpy Story, was released at the Sundance Film Festival and was released both theatrically and video-on-demand on August 14, 2020. The documentary has no involvement from Nickelodeon and ViacomCBS, but they were credited in the documentary's end credits under "Special Thanks".
On August 5, 2020, ViacomCBS announced a reboot of Ren & Stimpy produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studios for Comedy Central without the involvement of Kricfalusi; according to Variety, he will not have financial remuneration or creative input from the reboot, due to his allegations in 2018. This caused various fans and people who worked in the original show, including Cheryl Chase, to speak out against the idea (due to Bob Camp not being involved with the reboot), while various animators also disliked the idea of rebooting existing franchises, instead of studios greenlighting their original ideas. One of the two victims of John Kricfalusi, Robyn Byrd, made a petition on Change to urging ViacomCBS cancel the reboot on Comedy Central, as according to her, it would "cause trauma and endanger fans and crew members who worked in the original series". Despite the petition (which failed, mainly because of inaccurate information against the reboot that the petition has) and negative reaction to the reboot's announcement, mainly from the animation industry, according to Billy West, the reboot is still happening, but development was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
TriviaThe show was so bad that Billy West, Stimpy's original voice actor (as well as Ren's actor for some of Seasons 2 and Seasons 3-5), refused to work on the show saying that it would ruin his career and he called it one of the worst things that he's ever seen. He later stated in a tweet his reason for not doing the show was he did not want to work with Kricfalusi,[13] but wished all the luck in the world to him in "APC". [14] As a result, he was replaced by Eric Bauza.Because West refused to voice Stimpy again in "Adult Party Cartoon", some people auditioned to voice Stimpy in "APC" before Bauza took over the role as Stimpy. One of these people who auditioned to take the role of Stimpy was the late voice actor Joe Alaskey, who came close to Billy West's voice, but his voice was a bit too deep for Stimpy.[15]While this show was hated by Ren and Stimpy fans, old and new, this show, for unknown reasons, had stronger fanbases in Eastern Europe (mostly in Poland).Billy West also predicted the show would get canceled, and a couple of days later the prediction came true.While the last three episodes Naked Beach Frenzy, Altruists, and Stimpy's Pregnant didn't air on American television, they aired in other countries and continents like Latin America (MTV), Brazil (Multishow and VH1), Russia (2x2), Poland (MTV), and Italy (Fox), while in America they were only released in The Lost Episodes DVD in 2006.A petition was made by the now defunct Ren & Stimpy forum, The Members of the Loyal Order of Stupids (aka MOTLOS) in 2003 on the also now defunct petition website, PetitionOnline, in the wake of saving "Adult Party Cartoon" for getting cancelled and be renewed for a second season.[16]People who worked on the show such as Richard Pursel stated that they hated working on the show and working with Kricfalusi.Richard Pursel (one of the writers) later works on SpongeBob SquarePants in Season 5 for his first episode "Fungus Among Us".The show was originally going to have nine episodes. However, due to similar issues with production at Nickelodeon, only six episodes ended up being produced, with Spike declining to renew the series.All the episodes except Altruists were originally planned to be released as episodes of the original show. This includes the canceled episodes too.Butch Hartman (the uncredited writer) is the creator of The Fairly OddParentsReferences

1 Plot2 Why It's GO! Time3 Bad Qualities4 Reception5 Trivia6 Videos7 Comments[edit]Plot
The show focuses on the titular Teen Titans, five teenage superheroes that protect Jump City from various supervillains including the main antagonist Slade, whom Robin is obsessed with defeating.
[edit]Why It's GO! TimeJust like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003) which came out the same year, the animation is outstandingly amazing as it perfectly assembles an anime-esque art style.Awesome voice acting by the talents of Scott Menville, Hynden Walch, Khary Payton, Greg Cipes, and Tara Strong.Great and catchy soundtrack, especially the intro theme and outro theme song.It has a great Saturday Morning Cartoon vibe to it.Some episodes feature the theme song in Japanese courtesy of Puffy AmiYumi, which is very hilarious, have a listen!All the Titans have their own personality, making them unique in their own ways:Robin is the main leader and the brain of the team.Beast Boy is a funny vegetarian comic relief.Cyborg is half human and half you guessed it half cyborg.Raven is a demon who has a bad relationship with her father Trigon.Each season focuses heavily on a specific Titan and their character development.Season One focuses on Robin and his obsession with defeating Slade.Season Two focused on the temporary Titan Terra, whom Beast Boy falls in love with.Season Three focused on Cyborg and his grudge against the H.I.V.E. leader, Brother Blood.Season Four focuses on Raven and her evil father, the demon lord Trigon.Season Five focuses on Beast Boy and his maturing into a fine hero as foes from his past resurface to destroy all young heroes.The feature film, Trouble in Tokyo, focuses on Starfire and her relationship with Robin as the Titans face off against a Japanese crime lord and the foe that's controlling him.Season Two and Season Four focused on two major Teen Titans comic arcs. Season Two is based on The Judas Contract, and Season Four is based on The Terror of Trigon.It sometimes tackles dark subject matters in a good way such as: Racism.The main characters have good chemistry which makes them unique from each other, for the most part.Just like the Power Ranger series, it has a perfect mix of Drama, Comedy, and Action.The humor is witty and hilarious as it has funny anime-styled facial expressions such as white eyes, and big heads.Silkie is a cute mutant caterpillar.There are several original villains made just for the show, such as Billy Numerous, Cinderblock, The Amazing Mumbo, Control Freak, and Red X.Billy Numerous, Cinderblock, and Red X would eventually make their way into the official DC Comics canon thanks to the show.The popularity of Raven in Teen Titans brought her so much new popularity that DC resurrected her in the comics.Slade is arguably one of the most terrifying villains in cartoon history, especially thanks to his manipulative nature and machinations.Some of the villains are rather likable, especially Jinx (who later on became a fan favorite/fan service among people), who eventually turned good in the final season.The show is perfectly faithful to the DC Comic Book series.It spawned three great games based on the show: Teen Titans 1 and 2 for the GBA and Teen Titans (video game) released for GameCube, PlayStation 2, and Xbox in 2006.It's responsible for introducing Cheshire's now-iconic cat mask.Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo, the TV movie is amazing.[edit]Bad QualitiesThe series' cancellation left a lot of things unresolved such as the true identity of Red X, who was responsible for the toxin in Slade's mask, and how Terra came back from the dead.This is the first TV series to make use of the annoying flash hits that trigger when someone is about to be hit.Out of all the main characters, Starfire never got a whole season focused on her."The Beast Within" is a very mean-spirited episode with the Titans acting out of character.The show was made lighter than most DC Animated Universe shows (despite being set in its own universe) to be suited for a younger audience (like Static Shock) but lacked the nuance of those other adaptations as a result.Villains often had sympathetic motivations removed in order to not appeal to kids (a notable example being Slade, who in the comics, had a grudge against the Titans for the death of his son).Some episodes have more childish plots and storytelling than most, though not a huge problem.The last episode, "Things Change", wasn't a good series finale, due to it resolving nothing and ending the show on a cliffhanger.Worse still, Cartoon Network has shown zero interest in ever reviving the show, despite being announced that if the film does alright it might have a chance that the original series might get a season 6.Despite being amazing, Trouble in Tokyo ignores the events of "Things Change" and doesn't resolve the cliffhanger.The 2013 spin-off Teen Titans Go! is terrible and it's a giant middle finger to fans of the original series.The 2019 crossover movie with Teen Titans Go! called Teen Titans Go! vs. Teen Titans, although it was positively received by critics, it wasn't well-received by fans of the original show because of the original Teen Titans being completely out of character.[edit]Reception
Teen Titans was one of Cartoon Network's most beloved shows, with its animation style and character development being especially praised. It spawned its own comic book series, feature film, and video games. Even years after its cancellation, fans still seek a sixth season and curse the existence of Teen Titans Go! for soiling the name of this series.
[edit]TriviaWhen the theme song is played in Japanese, it usually means the episode will be light-hearted.The theme song was sung by the Japanese pop duo Puffy AmiYumi in both English and Japanese, who later got their own show, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi.It spawned a comic book called Teen Titans Go! (not to be confused with the terrible TV series) which ran from 2004 to 2008 for 55 comics.Ciro Nieli, one of the directors for this series, would later be worked on two TV shows:Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!: a Disney cartoon that was aired on Jetix block on ABC Family and Toon Disney from 2004 to 2006. The series used an anime-influenced and most of the voice actors from Teen Titans voiced some of the characters, especially Greg Cipes as Chiro, the show's main protagonist.Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012): a Nicktoon which was a 2012 reboot of the same name and it was aired on Nickelodeon and Nicktoons from 2012 to 2017. The series was also anime-influenced and some of the voice actors from Teen Titans voiced characters. They even have an anime-type show like this called Super Robo Mecha Force V and it contains several references and inspired characters from SRMTHFG.In 2023, the show's spin-off Teen Titans Go! became Cartoon Network's longest-running acquired animated series and the network's second longest-running series overall, the first being Ed, Edd n Eddy.The show became famous in Japan, mainly because of lots of anime-styled elements and Starfire and Jinx being somewhat of a Moe Girls.Just like My Life as a Teenage Robot which also aired in 2003, (at least in North America), it spawned several NSFW adult parody videos by YouTuber ZONE-SAMA, which can be found on Newgrounds and YouTube.

Plot
After invading Yen Sid's workshop via a magic mirror portal, Mickey witnesses the creation of Cartoon Wasteland, a location that is very reminiscent of Disneyland for forgotten Disney characters. The mage then decides to go sleep and amazed by it, Mickey uses the brush and the magic paint to create a paint sculpture of himself, but it ends up turning into the Blot. Mickey then tries to erase the monster with the magic thinner to no avail as shown later on. All the ruckus wakes up Yen Sid, who decides to see what was going on. The mouse quickly moves out of the scene, but Wasteland is devastated by the mess. Decades of success later, Mickey completely forgets about the incident, until he is kidnapped by the Shadow Blot and pulled into the world. Before the so-called Thinner Disaster, the Mad Doctor worked closely with Oswald before he got power-hungry after the Blot was unleashed. The Mad Doctor and Oswald had created robotic "Beetleworx", which originally helped out in Wasteland, but then began patrolling Wasteland and capturing Gremlins. They also created robotic versions of Mickey's friends to keep Oswald company, looking like Donald Duck, Goofy, and Daisy Duck respectively. Upon realizing what he has done, Mickey sets out to clean up his mess and restore Wasteland with the help of the magical paintbrush, as well as defeat the Blot, gain the trust of Oswald and return home to the Toon World.

Why It's Epic
Original
Great controls. Wii games are usually infamous for having screwy motion controls, but this is one of the games that handles it properly.A big variety of places to explore, with some examples being Ventureland, Mickeyjunk Mountain (this one being so big it's divided in 5 levels) and Tomorrow City, all of which are inspired by Disney-related things.There are plenty of collectibles to be found, from e-tickets to concept art.The story is engagingly creative and has a pretty dark and shady tone, which is a first for a Mickey game.A few jokes are sprinkled here and there, meaning that it doesn't take itself excessively seriously.As previously mentioned, lots of obscure Disney characters make a comeback after many decades, such as Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, his girlfriend Ortensia and the Gremlins from an unreleased 1940s film and the 2008 comic Return of the Gremlins, as well as alternate versions of Pete (those being Petetronic, Pete Pan and Small Pete).Speaking of the Gremlins, their leader Gus is a very good mentor figure for Mickey, showing him what to do in various scenarios and teaching all about Wasteland, its inhabitants and history.The soundtrack (composed by James Dooley) is nothing short of impressive and it really brings the seriousness home. A few highlights being Dark Beauty Castle, Mean Street, Tomorrow City and the themes for the Clock Tower and Petetronic boss fights.Also, the song will change when there are enemies around, Zelda Ocarina of Time and Sonic Unleashed style.The song also changes depending on how much the player has painted or thinned.The character designs are really cool and help give off the vibe of a dark-toned game, such as Mickey having ink flow off himself.Goofy, Daisy, and Donald make appearances as animatronics. Recollecting their parts is also not only very satisfying, but rewards the player with a cutscene, more tasks to complete, and a better ending.The paint and thinner mechanic is really useful and unique, as it can reveal extra goods, trapped Gremlins and/or create alternate paths, additional platforms and even kill or befriend Blotlings (paint enemies).One of the enemy species is called a "Sweeper", and they're a good callback to The Sorcerer's Apprentice, from Fantasia.The sketches are quite fun to use too, and are all unique in their own ways:The TV can be used to distract enemies and activate electric contraptions, and the screen of the TV itself shows a short clip of the 1928 classic, Steamboat Willie.The Watch can slow down time, which is helpful against fast-moving elemental pieces, big groups of enemies and time-based puzzles.The Anvil can squash enemies and trigger pressure plates.The game uses projector screens playing old Disney cartoons as a means of transportation from one place to another, which is an extremely creative touch and it seems to take some notes on Mickey Mania's level design.By using enough paint or thinner to interact with the world, the player can attract Guardians (the paint ones are named Tints and the thinner ones are named Turps), and they serve to indicate where to go in case they get lost and to fight the Blotlings for Mickey.Lots of interesting bosses, such as animatronic Captain Hook and the Mad Doctor. They can be defeated either with Thinner or Paint, upgrade the capacity of the substance used to fight said boss and also get the player a better or worse ending.The cutscenes have a nice hand-drawn style and splendid animation, making them a decent callback to the old Mickey Mouse cartoons.The Blot is a really intimidating, powerful and menacing figure and the game isn't afraid at all to show it, especially in the scene where he holds Gus and Oswald hostage and demands for Mickey's heart."Now I really do see why he liked you."The level inside the Blot is by far, the most high-stakes, intense and thrilling of them all.Both the good and bad endings do an excellent job at making the player feel accomplished or incompetent, as both of them change depending on what actions that the player had performed earlier in the game.
Rebrushed
The graphics, which were great in the original has been enhanced here. All thanks to Purple Lamp Gmbh, known for SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated and SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake.The camera, which was a problem in the original, has been fixed here.You can now sprint, dash, and ground pound.

Bad Qualities
Overall
The Goofy, Donald and Daisy animatronics are a bit scary, especially for younger audiences for the following reasons:Goofy not only has torn clothes, but he also has an entire arm missing and a lack of a pair of eyes.Donald has a completely opened leg, arm, and torso, and he also lacks one eye.Daisy, despite being the least creepy of the three, has a partially broken leg, arm, and bow, has an opened torso, and has completely black eyes.Mostly no voice acting. The characters, aside from Yen Sid, only do random noises when they talk, with a text appearing on the bottom of the screen.There are a few questionable character choices, such as are Clarabelle, Horace and Pete, since that by the time that this game released, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse was already four years old, which had both Clarabelle and Pete in it, and Horace had appeared in other games that had released before this game, such as Kingdom Hearts 2.The Bunny Children in Mickeyjunk Mountain and Mean Street are a hassle to deal with. That being said, they are useful for getting rid of Spatters.Once you fail a quest you can't really go back. Heck, you can't go back to previous areas through the projector.
Original
While the camera is perfectly functional for the most part, it can be a bit clunky to move every now and then. Thankfully, this was fixed in the Japanese release of the game.
Rebrushed
There is still no voice-acting, which is egregious for a 2024 game.The Switch version runs at 30fps despite the system being more powerful than the Wii. It's understandable given that the remake was made on Unreal Engine 4.

Synopsis
The team learns what a bathroom is really for the hard way.
Why It's Anything But SeriousThis episode IS VERY DISGUSTING BECAUSE THE PLOT IS CENTERED AROUND THE BATHROOM OF ALL PLACES.Misleading title: There is no "seriousness" in this episode, just the Titans getting emotional over the bathroom.The Titans do things in the bathroom they can do virtually anywhere else, which makes no sense:Raven tap dances in it.Cyborg sings.Beast Boy makes art.Starfire uses it, to make chili in the toilet. (Really) This is not only disgusting but unsanitary.The Peepee Dance is very immature and annoying.Robin’s “solution” to cut the Titans’ bathroom time (by using a bomb that is set for 5 minutes that is strapped to the bathroom door) is a bad solution because while this makes sense for urinating and brushing teeth, it does not make for other things done in the bathroom. What if they have to take a shower or have diarrhea or are constipated or vomiting? 5 minutes won’t cover this at all!Also, Robin blowing up the bathroom to cut bathroom time too? Isn’t that too extreme? He’s injuring his teammates.The Titans when they neglect hygiene due to being afraid of the bomb is too disgusting to look at.The scene where Starfire gets bad breath (assuredly implying she didn't brush her teeth), was gross.The Titans eventually show Robin “the wonders of the bathroom.” Which is very ridiculous!Over-usage of toilet humor, given the fact the episode is centered around the bathroom and nothing else.Weird ending: The bathrooms suddenly comes to life and are revealed to be aliens and the Titans “abused” their bathroom. This makes their bathroom rage quit and leave Earth with the rest of his species and the Titans do the peepee dance on the rubble that was their bathroom. This is a horrible way to end because how are we supposed to pee or drop waste without creating a mess because without bathroom this can be sickening and causes health problem if hold it in for too long.Redeeming QualitiesBeast Boy’s steam art is pretty good.Although ridiculous, the Titans’ bathroom has very fun voice to listen to.While hypocritical "The Wonders of Bathroom" and the "PeePee Dance" songs can be found quite catchy.Robin, while still unlikable, did have a point about the other titans hogging the bathroom all to themselves.TriviaThe Pee-Pee Dance became a meme among both the network and the target audience, with said song receiving over 17 million views on YouTube and even getting its own promo. It even got to the point where reruns of the episode got higher ratings than its premiere.

1Plot2Why It Has All Eyes On It3Bad Qualities4Reception5Trivia6Comments
Plot
The game follows Henry Stein, a retired animator who returns to his old studio after an invitation from his old employer and discovers a nightmare of cartoon characters seemingly brought to life by the titular Ink Machine.
Why It Has All Eyes On It
The story is very interesting with a creative concept involving the creation of an animation studio's coming to life and attacking its creators after they return many years after first abandoning it.Henry Stein is a likable protagonist for the game to follow.The character designs of Bendy, Boris and Alice are creative and faithful to the old school Walt Disney and Max Fleischer styles that they were based off. This is also very fitting given how the entire game in it of itself is based on old cartoons, taking place in an abandoned animation studio where the creations of said studio came to life.Its graphics are reminiscent of the rubber house animation style, in fact most of the props look like 3D sketches.Chapter 4 introduced jumpscares that blend in really well with the story.The game also had an amazing crossover with Cuphead, another game famous for portraying older rubber hose cartoons as well as the darker sides they often tended to have.Many secrets and easter eggs are hidden across all chapters and when discovered, are very rewarding.The most notable one being a cardboard figure of theMeatly hiding behind a poster in all chapters.Fan made songs of the game got featured as easter eggs in radios, which is a nice detail.Speaking of the final easter egg, the game spawned a lot of amazing fanmade songs based on it's story and characters. Such as All Eyes on Me (a fan song written by OR30 dedicated to Alice and her desires to regain her spotlight after Bendy stole it from her, as well as how she wishes to be the only thing anyone ever dedicated their attention towards), Can't Be Erased (a song created by JT Music that has the unique trait of being told from the perspectives of multiple characters including Sammy Lawrence, Bendy, Boris and Henry, all singing about their respective mysterious pasts), Blood and Ink (written and performed by Nathan Sharp/NateWantsToBattle about Bendy welcoming people into his station), Welcome Home (SquigglyDigg's some dedicated to Bendy welcoming Henry back to t=his studio after his long disappearance, as well as all the occurances that had taken place in said studio since then), Build Our Machine (a song told from the perspective of Bendy himself as he sings about the unfortunate fate that will inevitably befall the player) and many, many more.The game adds a conclusion to the stories of most of the co-workers from the studio like Sammy Lawrence, Jack Fain, Norman Polk and even Joey Drew himself.The Seeing Tool introduced in Chapter 5 allows the player to see invisible messages hidden throughout the whole game, with the majority being made for comedic purposes and some made with the intention of revealing part of the lore.Pretty creepy atmosphere that effectively increases the already high tension of the game due to how creepy and eerie it looks (which is to be expected given the setting where the game takes place in).The Bertrum Piedmont boss fight is a really fascinating and unnatural concept.Amazing soundtrack. Apart from the aforementioned incredible fan songs dedicated to the game and it's characters (in WIHAEOI# 8), there's also an equally cartoony and creepy musical score, and score itself for the actual game."I'M OUTTA HERE!"The cartoon shorts made for the game are amazing at replicating the Rubber Hose cartoon style.
Bad Qualities
Chapter 3 is mostly just a fetch-quest that can become repetitive and boring.To make matters worse, it is the most buggy chapter.There is an infamous bug that prevents you from ending the chapter after completing the final mission.The voice acting sounds really phoned-in at times especially Henry's voice acting.The jumpscare sounds aren't scary at all, which doesn't make the game scary.The ending of Chapter 5 is confusing, to say the least.Speaking of the ending, the player doesn't really get to know what happens to Henry after he defeats Beast Bendy.There are no collectible stats, so for those who are trying to get 100% of the trophies on PlayStation 4, Steam, or Xbox One will have to hope they got all of the collectibles before each chapter and the game ends.
Reception
Bendy and the Ink Machine was well-received upon its initial release, with praise centering on its vintage aesthetic and story. In the months following its release, it quickly gained a cult following from promotion on platforms like YouTube and Twitch, and eventually was approved through Steam Greenlight in mid-2017.
Trivia
Mike Mood, the game's programmer, and co-creator, described the game as an "accidental success" .The game, similar to other indie successes like Undertale and Cuphead, has spawned tons of memes, like the parodies to the song "Build Our Machine".This game was the main reason that the content creator SuperHorrorBro gained popularity.

The game follows Henry Stein, a retired animator who returns to his old studio after an invitation from his old employer and discovers a nightmare of cartoon characters seemingly brought to life by the titular Ink Machine.
==Why It Has All Eyes On It==
The story is very interesting with a creative concept involving the creation of an animation studio's coming to life and attacking its creators after they return many years after first abandoning it.Henry Stein is a likable protagonist for the game to follow.The character designs of Bendy, Boris and Alice are creative and faithful to the old school Walt Disney and Max Fleischer styles that they were based off. This is also very fitting given how the entire game in it of itself is based on old cartoons, taking place in an abandoned animation studio where the creations of said studio came to life.Its graphics are reminiscent of the rubber house animation style, in fact most of the props look like 3D sketches.Chapter 4 introduced jumpscares that blend in really well with the story.The game also had an amazing crossover with Cuphead, another game famous for portraying older rubber hose cartoons as well as the darker sides they often tended to have.Many secrets and easter eggs are hidden across all chapters and when discovered, are very rewarding.The most notable one being a cardboard figure of theMeatly hiding behind a poster in all chapters.Fan made songs of the game got featured as easter eggs in radios, which is a nice detail.Speaking of the final easter egg, the game spawned a lot of amazing fanmade songs based on it's story and characters. Such as All Eyes on Me (a fan song written by OR30 dedicated to Alice and her desires to regain her spotlight after Bendy stole it from her, as well as how she wishes to be the only thing anyone ever dedicated their attention towards), Can't Be Erased (a song created by JT Music that has the unique trait of being told from the perspectives of multiple characters including Sammy Lawrence, Bendy, Boris and Henry, all singing about their respective mysterious pasts), Blood and Ink (written and performed by Nathan Sharp/NateWantsToBattle about Bendy welcoming people into his station), Welcome Home (SquigglyDigg's some dedicated to Bendy welcoming Henry back to t=his studio after his long disappearance, as well as all the occurances that had taken place in said studio since then), Build Our Machine (a song told from the perspective of Bendy himself as he sings about the unfortunate fate that will inevitably befall the player) and many, many more.The game adds a conclusion to the stories of most of the co-workers from the studio like Sammy Lawrence, Jack Fain, Norman Polk and even Joey Drew himself.The Seeing Tool introduced in Chapter 5 allows the player to see invisible messages hidden throughout the whole game, with the majority being made for comedic purposes and some made with the intention of revealing part of the lore.Pretty creepy atmosphere that effectively increases the already high tension of the game due to how creepy and eerie it looks (which is to be expected given the setting where the game takes place in).The Bertrum Piedmont boss fight is a really fascinating and unnatural concept.Amazing soundtrack. Apart from the aforementioned incredible fan songs dedicated to the game and it's characters (in WIHAEOI# 8), there's also an equally cartoony and creepy musical score, and score itself for the actual game."I'M OUTTA HERE!"The cartoon shorts made for the game are amazing at replicating the Rubber Hose cartoon style.
==Bad Qualities==
Chapter 3 is mostly just a fetch-quest that can become repetitive and boring.To make matters worse, it is the most buggy chapter.There is an infamous bug that prevents you from ending the chapter after completing the final mission.The voice acting sounds really phoned-in at times especially Henry's voice acting.The jumpscare sounds aren't scary at all, which doesn't make the game scary.The ending of Chapter 5 is confusing, to say the least.Speaking of the ending, the player doesn't really get to know what happens to Henry after he defeats Beast Bendy.There are no collectible stats, so for those who are trying to get 100% of the trophies on PlayStation 4, Steam, or Xbox One will have to hope they got all of the collectibles before each chapter and the game ends.
==Reception==
Bendy and the Ink Machine was well-received upon its initial release, with praise centering on its vintage aesthetic and story. In the months following its release, it quickly gained a cult following from promotion on platforms like YouTube and Twitch, and eventually was approved through Steam Greenlight in mid-2017.
==Trivia==
Mike Mood, the game's programmer, and co-creator, described the game as an "accidental success" .The game, similar to other indie successes like Undertale and Cuphead, has spawned tons of memes, like the parodies to the song "Build Our Machine".This game was the main reason that the content creator SuperHorrorBro gained popularity.

Plot
The game follows the titular Cuphead and his brother Mugman who, in a deal with the Devil after losing a game at the his casino, are quested to repossess the souls of runaway debtors as payment for their loss.
Why It Likes To Roll The DiceThe main game selling point is their graphics, that resemble with authenticity multiple rubberhose cartoons from the 1930s, such as the Mickey Mouse, Talkartoons and Felix the Cat, making it stand out from other games. To add better style, the game's animations and graphics were designed with traditional animation cels.The landscapes and backgrounds, which were made with watercolors, sculptures and stop-motion are extremely detailed, well designed and fantastic.The gameplay is really fun, incredible and action-packed, and has plenty of challenges in it reminiscent of that of Metal Slug, Contra, Gunstar Heroes and Alien Soldier. Some bosses require the player to use a plane, making these levels more like a Shoot em'up rather than a Run and gun.The controls are very tight and responsive and allow the player to move, attack in eight directions, dash, jump, parry, change weapons, lock the character to attack in a specific space and attack in movement.Great soundtrack directed by Kristopher Madiggan and his orchestra, with plenty of jazz influences and instrumentation, some memorable ones are "Floral Fury", which has a samba vibe, "Honeycomb Herald", who has a calm and serene vibe and "One Hell of a Time", that fuses multiple boss themes in one.All of the characters, despite having little dialogue, have their personalities explained in unique ways by their attacks, their game over phrases, background details, movements and actions. This includes the protagonists, the NPCs, the bosses and even the antagonists.Cuphead is a positive happy-go-lucky but impulsive person that due to his greed gambled away his soul.Mugman is Cuphead’s cautious and more calmer twin brother that is always there for his needs.Elder Kettle is the brother’s caretaker that helps them throughout the adventure by advising them.The Legendary Chalice is a powerful but clumsy being that gets trapped in the Mausoleums. After being saved, she gives the player a Super Art. As Ms. Chalice, she is playable.King Dice is a deceitful and manipulative person who acts easygoing on the exterior, that also serves as the Devil’s right hand manChef Saltbaker is a kind, later cold-hearted chef who tricks the duo, so he can get the ingredients to make the Wondertart, and take over the Astral Plane, but reforms in the epilogue.The Devil is a prideful liar and cheater that manipulated the weaknesses of our protagonists to gain Cuphead and Mugman’s souls.There's a ranking system that judges the player based on the time it took, the number of hit points you ended with, the number of parried attacks and the times you used special attacks, giving the game a lot of replayability.It is full of personality, all the bosses have really unique and distinct designs, but also have some elements based on multiple beloved cartoon characters from the 1930s and 40s, other video games and multiple franchises, such as Werner Werman being based on Jerry from the Tom and Jerry cartoon, Sally Stageplay’s third phase being inspired by Kefka’s final fight from Final Fantasy VI or Ribby & Croaks resembling Ryu and Ken from Street Fighter and Rash & Zitz from Battletoads. These also attribute to their fights, giving them more variety.Addicting and challenging boss battles, with really fun twists in their fights and progressively become difficult as they take more damage. Their patterns aren't very complex or random and fairly easy to remember which attacks come.Plenty of unique shooting options. There are nine main weapons (with 3 coming from the DLC), that allow the player to do different attacks and each with a different EX movement:Peashooter: The standard weapon that has medium attack and long range.Spread: It has a powerful attack but short range.Roundabout: Medium attack and allows the player to attack backwards.Lobber: It has a strong attack and medium range. Bounces two times before disappearing.Chaser: Low attack but high range, as it follows the enemies and bosses.Charge: If you hold the attack button, the attack will increase. It has slow rapid fire.Crackshot: Shooting it straight deals good damage. It can break into an aimed projectile that does less damage.Converge: A 3 way shot that pierces through enemies and bosses.Twist-Up: A shot that deals average damage and goes in an arced pathway. It has rapid fire.The charms in the game have singular features and aid the player in different ways:Heart & Twin Heart: It gives the player extra hit points (One if it's a normal heart and two if they are Twin), but weakens the attack.Smoke Bomb: It will make the dash invisible and the hitbox untouchable.Coffee: It slowly fills the Power Meter.Parry Sugar: It makes Parrying immediate and easier to activate.Whetstone: The first party will transform in an axe and causes damage to the enemy.Astral Cookie: Lets the player play as Ms. Chalice, gaining access to her double jump, dodge roll, and parry dash.Heart Ring: Restores a hit point for the player's first, third, and sixth parries, although parries before regeneration of all 3 hearts don't generate super meter cards.Broken Relic: Lets you unlock the Angel and Demon Boss.Cursed Relic: When you defeat the Angel and Demon Boss, this activates, replacing Broken Relic. It reduces your HP to 1 and randomizes the player's weapon every time they stop shooting. However, it gives you the effect of Coffee, Smoke Bomb, Whetstone, and Heart Ring, but they vary in terms of how many points from bosses you achieved.Note: You have to use the Cursed Relic to gain points.Defeating an Inkwell Isle 1 Boss gives 2 points, an Inkwell Isle 2 Boss gives 2.5 points, Inkwell Isles 3 and 4 bosses give 3 points, King Dice gives 1 point, and The Devil and Chef Saltbaker give 4.Coffee isn't present when you have 0-3 points, but 4 points activates Coffee, giving it a 13% charge rate, getting double the charge rate at 8 points, and getting triple the charge rate at 12.Smoke Bomb activates for every 8th dash at 0 points, every 5th dash at 4, every third dash at 8, and every other dash at 12.Whetstone follows the same pattern as Smoke Bomb, activating for every 8th parry at 0 points, every 5th parry at 4, every third parry at 8, and every other parry at 12.For heart ring, you generate 1 HP for the 3rd and 4th parry with 0 points, the second, third, and fourth with 4 points, the first, third, and fourth with 8 points, and the first, second, and fourth with 12 points.Divine Relic: Activated when you get 16 points. It doesn't reduce the starting HP, but it still randomizes weapons, but you get the full benefits of Smoke Bomb, Whetstone, and Heart Ring and the Coffee effect charges at a 52% rate.After completing each Mausoleum, the player receives a Super Art, an powerful spell that requires the Super Meter to be full. The Super arts are:Energy Beam: Attacks the enemy in an horizontal line, dealing great damage.Invincibility: Allows the player to be invincible for five seconds.Giant Ghost: Makes the players spirit to leave it's body and attack in the direction the player is moving, leaving the heart that can be parriable.Super Bomb Morph: Exclusive to airplane bosses. Transforms the player in a bomb that deals massive damage by contact or if timer runs out.Ms. Chalice has her own Super Arts too!Spiral Pillar: Attacks the enemy in a vertical line, dealing great damage.Shield Pal: Summons a flying shield that will take one extra hit for you.Ghostly Barrage: Launches a spectral volley, dealing great damage to bosses.Parrying is a pretty unique feature. It allows the player to disable one of the enemies’ bullets and gives you a boost in the Power meter, that allows the player to do an EX attack (that only requires a fifth of the meter) or a Super Art (that requires the power meter to be full).There are multiple unlockable modifications if you do various things:If you defeat 15 bosses in an A- or higher, you unlock the Technicolor visual.After doing all the Run and gun levels without killing any enemy, you will unlock the Black and White visual.After you finish the game for the first time, you unlock the “Expert” difficulty, which makes the enemies faster and gives them more HP. If you do everything correct, you get the S grade and complete multiple achievements.Bad QualitiesThe physical copy of the game doesn't actually contain a disc. Instead, you just get a download code. Luckily, it makes up for it by including one of five animation cels, as well that Studio MDHR has confirmed that, after the DLC releases, the physical copy will contain a disc/cartridge.Due to the high difficulty of it, some of the boss fights are pretty hard and frustrating to beat and based too much on trial-and-error, which will cause players to rage. Dr. Kahl's Robot (the most infamous among the fans), The Devil, Grim Matchstick, Chef Saltbaker, and Rumor Honeybottoms are perfect examples of this. While there is a simple difficulty mode, you unfortunately cannot progress with this option and must deal with beating all of them in normal difficulty to complete the game and sometimes, though rarely, there is no simple difficulty at all.Some of the power-ups are unobtainable until you buy others, meaning that you will get some that you will truly not want or need, this is mainly the case with twin heart and whetstone.There are various glitches that make some stages either impossible or bizarrely easy to beat. The Mugman army glitch (a duplication glitch that allowed the second player to duplicate their character) and the fast weapon glitch (a glitch that made the weapon change to a certain speed and making them immediatly fire) are great examples of this.What can make the Run n’ Gun levels frustrating is that there’s no checkpoints, meaning if you mess up and die near the end, you have to start all the way from the beginning, and this makes playing the game more tedious rather than more difficult (especially when you are trying to get a Pacifist rank). Thankfully, these levels are optional.Playing multiplayer in the Run and Gun levels can feel a bit uncomfortable as both players need to be close to advance, to the point of sometimes the advancement can be slowed heavily.Widely considered to be the most infamous part of the DLC, if the player beats the Anteater of The Moonshine Mob in Bootlegger Boogie, a yellow sign reading "KNOCKOUT" with flies appears. However, this is a fake knockout and the players must defeat the Announcer Snail. This caused reactions of many people thinking that defeating the Anteater could complete the level only to get trolled by the Announcer Snail especially if they have 1 HP and die in the last phase, and to add insult to injury, the death quote, "Surprise! Forgetting about da boss ain't wise" essentially breaks the fourth wall as if it knew players would fall victim to this.The boss fight against The Knightin the king's leap takes a very long time to beat, due to it requiring 20 parries to beat, as well as having to wait ages for the opportunity to parry him a single time.

The Wacky World of Tex Avery (French: Le Monde fou de Tex Avery) is a 1997 French-American animated television series created by Robby London, and produced by DIC Entertainment and their French subsidiary Les Studios Tex, in which this studio was named after this show. It was named after the well-known Warner Bros./MGM animator, Tex Avery, and the creator describes the show as "an homage to the brilliant, hilarious and groundbreaking animator Tex Avery and the wonderful squash-and-stretch cartoons of his era".

Premise
The show is an anthology series that stars numerous characters such as Tex Avery (distinct from his namesake, the real-life animator of the same name), Einstone, and Pompeii Pete. There are several segments in this show.
The show's main segment is the self-titled Tex Avery. It features the titular cowboy, his rival Sagebrush Sid, and Texan girlfriend Miss Chastity Knott in various escapades and scenarios.
The second segment, Einstone, centers on the titular caveman genius, who attempts to teach his fellow cavemen to be more civilized through the use of his inventions.
The third segment, Pompeii Pete, follows a small, bumming Centurion who finds himself in modern day after being buried alive for thousands of years after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Pete usually goes from job to job, often getting on the nerves of a business man named Dan, whose role varies as well.
Genghis and Khannie, the fourth segment, is named after the Mongolian ruler, Genghis Khan. Genghis is a lion warlord that's attempting to conquer empires and countries in the name of his emperor, while Khannie is a small, innocent looking panda that foils Genghis at every turn.
The fifth segment, Freddy the Fly, has the titular fly square off against the ridiculously uber rich Amanda Banshee.
The penultimate segment, Power Pooch, stars a dog that can turn into a superhero by licking (or swallowing) one shoe. Along for the ride is a blue cat named Little Buddy that acts as Power Pooch's sidekick.
The seventh and final segment, Maurice and Mooch, is a Tweety Bird & Sylvester parallel. Mooch is a fox that is constantly searching for a meal, while Maurice is a young chicken that Mooch constantly tries and fails to eat.
==Why It's Too Wacky (and NOT in a Good Way)==
Despite the series being intended to pay homage to Tex Avery and his cartoon creations, it is nothing more than an insult rather than a homage to Tex Avery's work, due to its various issues as listed below.Poor grasp of the source material: Aside from having the classic Tex Avery gags, the show has nothing to do with Tex Avery and, for legal reasons, none of his trademark characters like Bugs Bunny and Droopy Dog are included in this show. There's a character who's a cowboy named after Avery, and that's pretty much it.The show uses all the gags, jokes, and every element of the Tex Avery cartoons they were well-known for, all without actually understanding the context of each gags' used and why Tex Avery's Looney Tunes and MGM cartoons and their wild comedic style as a whole worked so well.A glaring example of such is that the series' titular character, Tex Avery, is always shown to be constantly lusting and doing wild takes exaggeratedly on his love interest Chastity Knott in nearly every episode just because the Wolf from Tex Avery's MGM cartoon "Red Hot Riding Hood" always does that to Red in each one of his appearances with her, with the writers failing to realize that the Wolf is a lecherous villain in the cartoons he appears in with Red (and a zoophile considering that the Wolf is an animal and Red is a Human), hence making the Tex Avery character to come off as nothing but a lecherous girl-crazy pervert towards Chastity Knott and an unlikable protagonist whom viewers are forced to root for in his cartoons.Even more insultingly, the real Tex Avery himself is very poorly represented via his same-named caricature in this show. In real life, Tex Avery, in contrast to the wild and wacky nature of his cartoons, is a rather quiet and reserved man who never actively sought out the spotlight in real life, with his cartoon creation Droopy being the closest character who is the most similar to Tex Avery's real-life persona. Here in this show, Tex Avery is instead represented as a wild, wacky, hyperactive, and obnoxious Bugs Bunny/Screwy Squirrel-esque Western hero type-comic relief character who comes off as more annoying and obnoxious than funny, which is a huge insult to the real-life Tex Avery and the type of person he was back when he was alive.Quantity-Over-Quality: DiC didn't run this show properly, as all 195 segments of this show were produced in the littlest of time possible and are aired for four months of its original broadcast from September-December 1997, hence making the production of each episode to be extremely rushed and poorly executed as the result.The title sequence shows the characters repetitively stomping and bouncing on the ground in an extremely hyperactive manner.In addition, as Saberspark pointed out in his Top 10 Worst Cartoon Intros video, random stuff appears beneath the characters' feet as they jump around, and this scene repeats itself once before the stuff beneath their feet turn into Pompeii Pete, which doesn't make any sense in the slightest. Plus, this makes it look like Pompeii was dragged away twice.This show uses too many stock cartoon sound effects (mostly from the Hanna-Barbera library) and even uses them at inappropriate times.Billy West (Doug, Stimpy, Philip J. Fry and Popeye) and Scott McNeil (Wolverine, Piccolo, Mr. White, Voltar, Rattrap, Dinobot) while both are talented voice actors, they do poor jobs voicing Tex Avery, Freddy the Fly, and Amanda. Notably, McNeil sounds very annoying and unconvincing as a woman.The character designs, while very appealing and reminiscent of a Looney Tunes cartoon, are rather ugly looking, especially with Tex Avery, who has an unsettling smile on his face (see the picture above), Freddy the Fly, Einstone, and the cavemen.The segments, in general, are pretty bad, forgettable, and unoriginal. They mainly copy other classic cartoons from the Golden Age and don't try many new things to keep them from being too formulaic:Tex Avery is a rip-off of Looney Tunes' Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam cartoons.Pompeii Pete, while not a direct rip-off, borrows elements from The Ren & Stimpy Show.Einstone uses the concept of cavemen making modern inventions from The Flintstones.Genghis and Khannie is a rip-off of Tom & Jerry in terms of character design but without any chase scenes.Freddy the Fly is a rip-off of Screwy Squirrel.Maurice and Mooch is a rip-off of the Looney Tunes' Tweety and Sylvester cartoons, with some elements from Baby Huey.Power Pooch is a rip-off of the Earthworm Jim animated series, with some elements from Superman: The Animated Series.There are numerous instances of racism, which is something you should never have in a kids' show. For instance:There are plenty of racial and annoying stereotypes:Tex Avery (the main character) is just a cliché stereotypical Texan/Old West character.Pompeii Pete is a Roman/Italian stereotype.Einstone is a German stereotype based obviously on Albert Einstein.Maurice is a Swedish stereotype.Other offensive stereotypes on this show include Asians, Canadians, Mexicans, British, Samoans, Jews, Irish, and even Native Americans as well.In "The Not-So-Great Train Robbery", Tex hires a stereotypical Indian tracker (as in, not Native American, as a pun) to help him get back to his train.The episode "Humpty Dumpty Had a Great Wall" begins with a montage of Genghis attacking other countries. In the first clip, Genghis's army kills a stereotypical Persian man and his cow, after which a sign reading "Rug-Sale: Cheap!" drops down. In the second, Genghis throws a bomb at Mumbai (called Bombai in this episode), and a nearby sign changes to "Bombed Out" after the explosion.The animation, while sometimes decent, is sub-par and rather cheap looking, with some unfinished backgrounds and frames missing.There are numerous animation errors:In the opening, the top of Pompeii Pete's helmet disappears for three frames.In "Humpty Dumpty Had a Great Wall", the animation frames of Khannie playing with her puppets appear to be chopped off from the top.In "Martial Blitz", part of the man the bride is to marry landing after being kicked by Amanda disappears for a frame.In "The Return of Dr. Hydrant", the top of Dr. Hydrant's head misaligns for one frame during the scene where he talks to Boney.Some of the animation doesn't sync up with the backgrounds properly.The show would occasionally use some strange transitions or special effects that look out of place for the show's animation style:In "Water You Gonna Do?", the second-to-last scene "disintegrates" for no explained reason.In "The Wrath of Khannie", the text "3 sequels ago in a galaxy not too far away" zooms away from the viewer to recreate the prologue text of a Star Wars film, but it looks as if it is slowly being sucked up to the top of the screen.The jokes and humor are both very poor and terrible, as they mostly consist of toilet humor and gross-out humor. Most of the jokes also fall flat or feel awkward due to the stiff and wonky animation. Examples include:Maurice making armpit farts and blowing his nose in the introAn ape vomitingAlmost every joke revolving around Freddy the FlyMooch peeing into a potted plantA caveman shoving a pole up a dinosaur's buttThe classic Avery gags are in the show, but they're butchered beyond all belief:In a scene from "Mine, Mine, Mine!", Sid accidentally runs out of the film projector like in the Droopy cartoon "Northwest Hounded Police", but the gag automatically falls flat since the show was originally watched on TV sets, which didn't use film reels or projectors.In the "The Not-So-Great Train Robbery", there is also a scene where Tex Avery and Sid take turns pulling out bigger guns than each other, but they read out the name of the gun they pull each time, which slows the pacing and ruins the humor entirely.The "_____, isn't it?" gag signs reappear, but they're not used properly:In "Humpty Dumpty Had a Great Wall", there's one scene where the camera pans across the Great Wall and stops at a sign that reads "Great Wall, Huh?" two seconds later. To make this version of the gag work, the camera should be constantly panning at a slow pace even when passing by the sign and have said sign come in after about five or seven seconds as demonstrated in two of Tex Avery's cartoons, "The Early Bird Dood It!" and "The Shooting of Dan McGoo".In "Silence of the Lames", there's another version of this gag where an extremely long limousine arrives at the entrance of the library and only stops when the door comes into view. In that episode, a hand holds a sign reading "Pretty Long Car, Isn't It!" while the car is still driving. Since the sign is supposed to serve as a punchline, this ends up ruining the gag by displaying the sign/punchline too early. Again, there's a much better version of this gag seen in the Tex Avery cartoon "The Shooting of Dan McGoo" where the phrase "Long, Isn't It?" appears on the wolf's limousine once it stops.There is a ton of content that is way too inappropriate, disturbing and nonsensical for a kids' show:In "The Dis-orderly", Dan the Man fakes a cut and squeezes a ketchup bottle to simulate that he's bleeding, and made it worse by squeezing it very hard all over the other patients.In the same episode, Pompeii himself slices a pizza using a buzzsaw, but the gag was a setup as if he was slicing Dan the Man instead.In "Breakfast in Bedlam", Maurice cracks an egg open, which isn't that bad, but the previous scene implied he pulled it from his mother, which is technically cannibalism.There are also various instances of gratuitous over-the-top violence, unsettling imagery, and disturbing facial expressions including:Tex Avery and Sagebrush Sid flipping their lips in tune to the show's theme song, complete with saliva being shownCavemen and apes drowning in tar in "A Bird in the Brain Is Worth Two in the Bush" and "The Ugh-Lympic Games"Genghis being shot by a big cannon with his mouth being all that is left in "Humpty Dumpty Had a Great Wall"Genghis bulging out his eyes in "Humpty Dumpty Had a Great Wall"Genghis having his tail get lit on fire by Khannie in "Humpty Dumpty Had a Great Wall" and then explodingFreddy kissing the bride and making her fall over in "Martial Blitz"Tex Avery setting fire in a bear's stomach in "Bottleneck Bear"Einstone getting eaten alive by a Tyrannosaurus Rex and landing in its stomach in "Saur Loser"Power Pooch swallowing an entire shoe whenever he needs his powersDan shooting a telephone with a gun in "Quiet Please"Pompeii Pete killing an owl and mouse with a cannon (which is animal abuse) in "Quiet Please"Amanda having a fly's head in "The Tell-Tale Fly" and "Bored of the Flies"Tex Avery putting a tapeworm inside Sagebrush Sid's mouth in "Fat and Fatter"Tex Avery landing in a pile of manure in "Virtual Tex"Tex Avery graphically scratching his nails on a chalkboard in "Not a Sporting Chance"Dan swallowing a hot rod motor engine in "Mechanically Declined"Genghis getting burned to the bone by Khannie's dragon in "A No-Etiquette Barbarian in King Arthur's Court"Tex Avery stripping off all of his clothes to the point where a censor bar covers his private parts in "Sagebrush Sindy"Tex Avery squeezing a bear's bottom in "Sagebrush Sindy"Sagebrush Sid tearing off Tex Avery's mouth in "Fat and Fatter" and "The Tex-orcist"Mooch eating a TV set in "My Dinner With Mooch"Baby Tex and Sid punching and exploding each other while still inside their respective mothers' wombs in "Tex Babies".Mooch getting his face burnt on a grill in "Teacher's Pest"Natives using Amanda's money as toilet paper in "Bored of the Flies"Einstone getting his head stuck to a mammoth's butt and the mammoth going to the restroom in "Frankeinstone"Sagebrush Sid getting his head split in half by his ax in "Up a Tree Without a Paddle"Dan's skin shattering and exposing his flesh in "Just Plane Trouble"Einstone's mother having all of her blood drained in "Neanderthal Mom"Amanda getting covered in manure in "Martial Blitz"Genghis eating a talking banana in "Donkey Conqueror"Maurice cracking Mooch's tooth with a hammer in "The Toothless Fairy"Tex Avery eating a buzzard until it's nothing but bones in "Water You Gonna Do?"Tex's arms being torn off by Sid only to attach to the latter's face and attack him in "The Tex-orcist"Mooch crashing into a truck filled with tacks and having tacks stuck on his behind then spitting out the tacks when getting forced into a train tunnel in "Toy Store Story"Two toucans taking off their beaks to kiss each other in "To Ape or Not to Ape"Mooch getting his nose bitten by snakes in "Chicken Scouts"Genghis getting decapitated in "Courting Disaster"An ape vomiting in "The Ugh-Lympic Games"Genghis eating bugs in "You Take the High Road and I'll Take Cairo"Einstone ejecting a needle into a caveman's butt in "Is There a Doctor in the Cave?"Mooch peeing into a potted plant in "Backseat Bedlam"Genghis getting his lower half-eaten by piranhas in "A Pain in the Rain Forest"A cat getting frozen and turning into ice cubes in "Double-O Scussi"Amanda unscrewing a butler's head and dropping it in "Cake Me a Bake"A caveman throwing a scalpel at Einstone's bottom in "Neanderthal Mom"Power Pooch peeing on Dr. Hydrant (albeit off-screen) in "Flea!

In general, this show is a worse-drawn Ren and Stimpy and worse-written Animaniacs -- completely lacking the fun, care, and charm those shows had.

The Wacky World of Tex Avery (French: Le Monde fou de Tex Avery) is a 1997 French-American animated television series created by Robby London, and produced by DIC Entertainment and their French subsidiary Les Studios Tex, in which this studio was named after this show. It was named after the well-known Warner Bros./MGM animator, Tex Avery, and the creator describes the show as "an homage to the brilliant, hilarious and groundbreaking animator Tex Avery and the wonderful squash-and-stretch cartoons of his era".
Premise
The show is an anthology series that stars numerous characters such as Tex Avery (distinct from his namesake, the real-life animator of the same name), Einstone, and Pompeii Pete. There are several segments in this show.
The show's main segment is the self-titled Tex Avery. It features the titular cowboy, his rival Sagebrush Sid, and Texan girlfriend Miss Chastity Knott in various escapades and scenarios.
The second segment, Einstone, centers on the titular caveman genius, who attempts to teach his fellow cavemen to be more civilized through the use of his inventions.
The third segment, Pompeii Pete, follows a small, bumming Centurion who finds himself in modern day after being buried alive for thousands of years after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Pete usually goes from job to job, often getting on the nerves of a business man named Dan, whose role varies as well.
Genghis and Khannie, the fourth segment, is named after the Mongolian ruler, Genghis Khan. Genghis is a lion warlord that's attempting to conquer empires and countries in the name of his emperor, while Khannie is a small, innocent looking panda that foils Genghis at every turn.
The fifth segment, Freddy the Fly, has the titular fly square off against the ridiculously uber rich Amanda Banshee.
The penultimate segment, Power Pooch, stars a dog that can turn into a superhero by licking (or swallowing) one shoe. Along for the ride is a blue cat named Little Buddy that acts as Power Pooch's sidekick.
The seventh and final segment, Maurice and Mooch, is a Tweety Bird & Sylvester parallel. Mooch is a fox that is constantly searching for a meal, while Maurice is a young chicken that Mooch constantly tries and fails to eat.
==Why It's Too Wacky (and NOT in a Good Way)==
Despite the series being intended to pay homage to Tex Avery and his cartoon creations, it is nothing more than an insult rather than a homage to Tex Avery's work, due to its various issues as listed below.Poor grasp of the source material: Aside from having the classic Tex Avery gags, the show has nothing to do with Tex Avery and, for legal reasons, none of his trademark characters like Bugs Bunny and Droopy Dog are included in this show. There's a character who's a cowboy named after Avery, and that's pretty much it.The show uses all the gags, jokes, and every element of the Tex Avery cartoons they were well-known for, all without actually understanding the context of each gags' used and why Tex Avery's Looney Tunes and MGM cartoons and their wild comedic style as a whole worked so well.A glaring example of such is that the series' titular character, Tex Avery, is always shown to be constantly lusting and doing wild takes exaggeratedly on his love interest Chastity Knott in nearly every episode just because the Wolf from Tex Avery's MGM cartoon "Red Hot Riding Hood" always does that to Red in each one of his appearances with her, with the writers failing to realize that the Wolf is a lecherous villain in the cartoons he appears in with Red (and a zoophile considering that the Wolf is an animal and Red is a Human), hence making the Tex Avery character to come off as nothing but a lecherous girl-crazy pervert towards Chastity Knott and an unlikable protagonist whom viewers are forced to root for in his cartoons.Even more insultingly, the real Tex Avery himself is very poorly represented via his same-named caricature in this show. In real life, Tex Avery, in contrast to the wild and wacky nature of his cartoons, is a rather quiet and reserved man who never actively sought out the spotlight in real life, with his cartoon creation Droopy being the closest character who is the most similar to Tex Avery's real-life persona.

'''''Five Nights at Freddy's'' (often abbreviated as FNaF)''' is a point-and-click horror game developed and published by Scott Cawthon. The first game was released on August 8th, 2014 for Microsoft Windows, initially on IndieDB and later on Steam. Since its release, the game has spawned multiple sequels. In 2018, Cawthon announced that his next FNaF games would be developed by a studio that initially didn't say their name but it was later revealed when Help Wanted was revealed on a State of Play in March 2019. The franchise received widespread critical acclaim and is often considered one of the best indie horror franchises of all time and is ranked on multiple lists among the best horror game franchises of all time. This will focus on the Clickteam era, when the games were made with Clickteam Fusion, all of them being made by Scott Cawthon himself, which ran from 2014 to 2018.
==Why It's Ready for Freddy==
===Overall===
#The franchise is heavily responsible for popularizing horror point-and-click games and possibly the entire indie horror genre. You have to thank this franchise for the fact that games like Tattletail, Bendy and the Ink Machine, CASE: Animatronics and Boogeyman exist.
#The concept of a night guard surviving from 4 possessed animatronics is amazing, which is inspired by Chuck E. Cheese's.
#Fantastic lore and is considered one of the best and most interesting lore in a video game. Rather than telling you directly like in most games, the story is told through easter eggs and mini-games and players have to analyze it.
#Because of this way of understanding the story, the franchise is very popular for spawning a massive amount of theories about the lore. There's a reason why YouTubers like MatPat (a.k.a The Game Theorists) became so popular.
#Not only is the lore fantastic, but it also popularized the use of hidden easter eggs and secrets to reveal the lore in several indie games.
#Thanks to the popularity of the franchise, it spawned a huge and devoted fanbase and made tons of FNaF fan games, and while most are poorly done, there are also fan games that are equally as good as the original games themselves.
#Even though the games used the Clickteam Engine, which was considered outdated, the graphics are very good, especially in later FNaF games, such as Sister Location and Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator (FNaF 6).
#The gameplay is simplistic yet enjoyable. While using the mouse to control the game doesn't sound exciting, it becomes challenging in later #nights. The gameplay also changes in each entry, with Sister Location changing the furthest.
#Despite the gameplay, the controls in the console and mobile versions are pretty good and don't feel clunky.
===Five Nights at Freddy's 1===
#Before Sister Location, it was the only FNaF game to be available in widescreen.
===Five Nights at Freddy's 2===
#It has more animatronics than the first game combined, such as the Toy animatronics, the Withered animatronics, and the Shadow animatronics.
#It introduces us to The Puppet, one of the creepiest animatronics in the franchise.
#The cutscenes that take place between nights are disturbing thanks to the moody and dark lighting and horrifically distorted sounds of laughter and singing.
#It was the first game in the series to introduce 8-bit mini-games, which would become a staple in the series.
===Five Nights at Freddy's 3===
#The concept of having one animatronic tracking the entire pizzeria is admittedly a bit creepy, especially when you realize the origin of it.
#The Phantom Animatronics do a good job of being distractions, helping the difficulty to increase.
#The graphics are an improvement over the first game and the second game.
#It's the first game in the series to feature multiple endings, in this case, two. And these two endings are the bad ending and the good ending.
#Night 6 is no longer just a typical night but much harder, and instead explains a lot about the lore, and that is, the Fazbear Fright was burned down and Springtrap survived the incident.
===Five Nights at Freddy's 4===
#The graphics are now much more realistic, making the gameplay a lot scarier.
#Good Nightmare Animatronics designs, which do fit the style of the game.
#Simply gives the backstory of the Afton family and one of the reasons why William Afton murdered the children at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.
#On that topic, we finally get to see how the creation of Golden Freddy came to be, as it happened in the most disturbing, yet depressing way: #The Crying Child gets his frontal lobe bitten by Fredbear thanks to the Spring Locks in the animatronic and due to being hold onto by Michael #Afton and his friends as a prank.
#Up until Sister Location, this was deemed the most disturbing game in the series, thanks to the terrifying sounds and atmosphere, which were inspired by A Nightmare in Elm Street.
#The Halloween DLC introduces more animatronics and a harder version of Fun With Plushtrap called Fun With Balloon Boy.
===Sister Location===
#The gameplay improved tremendously, as instead of being stuck in an office, you now have to do multiple tasks each night, which makes the game more fun and far less repetitive.
#The lore expanded tremendously and was done very well and in a different, as instead of using easter eggs and secret minigames, the game now tells you stuff while at the same time, you have to analyze the secrets of the game.
#Speaking of which, it is by far the installment with the most amount of theories due to it being a major contributor to the lore.
#The graphics have improved tremendously and are much better than ever.
#The jumpscares are also a massive improvement over the cheap ones from FNaF 1, 2, 3, and, to some extent, 4. They have a lot of variety and don't use just one cheap sprite with one jumpscare and put them in every animatronic, rather, they all have different animations, with different jumpscare sounds, which are scary and make the jumpscares much scarier.
#Like Five Nights at Freddy's 4, it gives the backstory of the Afton family and also gives the backstory of Michael Afton, one of the most important characters in the lore.
#The Custom Night is no longer just a simple bonus for completing the entire game, but an important mode to expand the lore.
#The ending in the Golden Freddy mode (V. Hard) from the Custom Night is an excellent way to tease Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator.
===Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator===
#It is the first mainline FNAF game to completely be free to play.
#Springtrap returns from FNAF 3, and is as scarier as ever thanks to his design, however, he only appears during the ventilation shift.
#Helpy is a fun character who provides the game's mood whiplash from the disturbing imagery.
#It's the first game to feature more than two endings and isn't clunky like Five Nights at Freddy's 3.
#The Completion Ending is excellent and would have been a good way to end the lore if it didn't continue past this game.
===Ultimate Custom Night===
#The concept of a giant custom night with most of the animatronics from the previous games with no limits is a great idea and is great for people who want challenges.
#Like Sister Location and FFPS, instead of using a regular mouse to play the game, you now have to use the entire keyboard to play, which contributes to the game being fun.
#There are 50 animatronics in the game, making it the best character roster in the entire franchise.
#Like Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, the game is free to play, although it's paid on mobile and console.
==Jumpscared Qualities==
===Overall===
#While the gameplay is simple yet enjoyable and fun, it can be boring at times, especially in early nights. However, it becomes more challenging in later nights.
#The earlier mobile versions (the ones developed by Scott Cawthon himself) are mediocre, due to downgraded effects, the jumpscares missing several frames, and more aggressive animatronics. Thankfully, they've been removed and replaced by the ones remastered by Clickteam USA.
#Another annoying thing is that both versions of the mobile ports feature microtransactions despite being paid (except Sister Location, which doesn't have them) and have a cheat mode that removes all the challenges in the game but thankfully they're pretty optional, to the point they're not needed.
#Due to the nature of being extremely hidden, the lore, despite being great, is also confusing at times due to it not being very direct. The later installments (SL and FFPS) are connected to the lore of the first 4 games, making it more confusing to newcomers.
#Much like Among Us (albeit it's inverted), Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator and Ultimate Custom Night are free on PC but they're paid on mobile and console due to the latter versions being coded by Clickteam to converting said platforms.
#The jumpscares from FNaF 1 and 2 are rather cheap and lose their scare factor shortly after you progress. Although the game is still pretty scary.
#This is also noticeable in FNaF 3, where the jumpscares feel less scary due to the annoying use of J Major from the Phantom animatronics, this issue was also carried over to Ultimate Custom Night.
#For some reason, before Sister Location, many of the games were only playable in Fullscreen, and stretched Widescreen, while this could be due to want for some gamers by having a more primitive atmosphere of said games, it feels a little bit cheap since the first game was Widescreen.
#The jumpscares themselves can come off as annoying nowadays.
===Five Nights at Freddy's 2===
#Artificial difficulty: Despite the game telling you to use the mask to avoid the jumpscares from the Toy Animatronics and most of the #Withered Animatronics, you will still get jumpscared when you put it. This is because the game wants you to put it instantly, which is extremely difficult for those who aren't fast enough to avoid the animatronics. As a result, this causes cheap deaths and tons of jump scares.
#The graphics, while decent, feel a bit inferior to FNaF 1's graphics.
===Five Nights at Freddy's 3===
#The jumpscares are underwhelming at best.
#If the Phantom Animatronics are excluded due to being hallucinations, therefore, there is only one animatronic in the game, which is pretty barebones.
#The way to get a good ending is pretty difficult: To get said ending, you must play ALL the minigames each night, which are scattered through secrets and easter eggs.
#Despite what WIR#2 says, the game is really easy to beat, making it one of the easiest entries in the series.
#Even though the graphics are an improvement over FNaF 2, they're unfortunately ruined and they're mainly disliked due to the ugly color palette, as well as the game overall looking unappealing.
===Five Nights at Freddy's 4===
#The fact that you have to listen closely to hear breathing is underwhelming, not helped by the fact that the loudness of the jumpscares could destroy your eardrums.
#Some of the designs of the animatronics look less scary, especially Plushtrap which looks more cute than terrifying.
===Sister Location===
#One word and one number: Night 4. It is considered the most difficult night of the entire game due to it wanting the player to click on the spring locks, which is extremely difficult due to the player not being that fast to click them all in once.
===Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator===
#For some reason, the game had a lower age rating than previous titles, despite containing jumpscares and blood.
===Ultimate Custom Night===
#There are plenty of missing animatronics in the game, such as Funtime Freddy, Bon Bon, Withered Freddy, Withered Foxy, and others.
#Due to the game's heavy focus on gameplay and challenge, the jumpscares stop being quickly scary and look cheesy at times.
==Reception==
On Metacritic, the reception of the games is varied, ranging from 78 to 52. However, the user scores are much higher. Outside of Metacritic, the franchise received widespread critical acclaim and is often considered one of the greatest horror franchises of all time. It was praised for its scary atmosphere, great graphics, simple yet enjoyable gameplay, and most importantly, the impressive lore. It was featured on multiple Top 10 Best Horror Game Franchises of All Time lists.
==Trivia==
There was a question most fans asked back when UCN was released, and that is if the game was canon or not, although some theories confirm that the game was meant to be a purgatory/hell for William Afton for murdering the kids.

#Fantastic lore and is considered one of the best and most interesting lore in a video game. Rather than telling you directly like in most games, the story is told through easter eggs and mini-games and players have to analyze it.
#Because of this way of understanding the story, the franchise is very popular for spawning a massive amount of theories about the lore. There's a reason why YouTubers like MatPat (a.k.a The Game Theorists) became so popular.
#Not only is the lore fantastic, but it also popularized the use of hidden easter eggs and secrets to reveal the lore in several indie games.
#Thanks to the popularity of the franchise, it spawned a huge and devoted fanbase and made tons of FNaF fan games, and while most are poorly done, there are also fan games that are equally as good as the original games themselves.
#Even though the games used the Clickteam Engine, which was considered outdated, the graphics are very good, especially in later FNaF games, such as Sister Location and Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator (FNaF 6).
#The gameplay is simplistic yet enjoyable. While using the mouse to control the game doesn't sound exciting, it becomes challenging in later #nights. The gameplay also changes in each entry, with Sister Location changing the furthest.

#Before Sister Location, it was the only FNaF game to be available in widescreen.
===Five Nights at Freddy's 2===
#It has more animatronics than the first game combined, such as the Toy animatronics, the Withered animatronics, and the Shadow animatronics.
#It introduces us to The Puppet, one of the creepiest animatronics in the franchise.
#The cutscenes that take place between nights are disturbing thanks to the moody and dark lighting and horrifically distorted sounds of laughter and singing.
#It was the first game in the series to introduce 8-bit mini-games, which would become a staple in the series.
===Five Nights at Freddy's 3===
#The concept of having one animatronic tracking the entire pizzeria is admittedly a bit creepy, especially when you realize the origin of it.
#The Phantom Animatronics do a good job of being distractions, helping the difficulty to increase.
#The graphics are an improvement over the first game and the second game.
#It's the first game in the series to feature multiple endings, in this case, two. And these two endings are the bad ending and the good ending.
#Night 6 is no longer just a typical night but much harder, and instead explains a lot about the lore, and that is, the Fazbear Fright was burned down and Springtrap survived the incident.
===Five Nights at Freddy's 4===
#The graphics are now much more realistic, making the gameplay a lot scarier.
#Good Nightmare Animatronics designs, which do fit the style of the game.
#Simply gives the backstory of the Afton family and one of the reasons why William Afton murdered the children at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.
#On that topic, we finally get to see how the creation of Golden Freddy came to be, as it happened in the most disturbing, yet depressing way: #The Crying Child gets his frontal lobe bitten by Fredbear thanks to the Spring Locks in the animatronic and due to being hold onto by Michael #Afton and his friends as a prank.
#Up until Sister Location, this was deemed the most disturbing game in the series, thanks to the terrifying sounds and atmosphere, which were inspired by A Nightmare in Elm Street.
#The Halloween DLC introduces more animatronics and a harder version of Fun With Plushtrap called Fun With Balloon Boy.
===Sister Location===
#The gameplay improved tremendously, as instead of being stuck in an office, you now have to do multiple tasks each night, which makes the game more fun and far less repetitive.
#The lore expanded tremendously and was done very well and in a different, as instead of using easter eggs and secret minigames, the game now tells you stuff while at the same time, you have to analyze the secrets of the game.
#Speaking of which, it is by far the installment with the most amount of theories due to it being a major contributor to the lore.
#The graphics have improved tremendously and are much better than ever.
#The jumpscares are also a massive improvement over the cheap ones from FNaF 1, 2, 3, and, to some extent, 4. They have a lot of variety and don't use just one cheap sprite with one jumpscare and put them in every animatronic, rather, they all have different animations, with different jumpscare sounds, which are scary and make the jumpscares much scarier.
#Like Five Nights at Freddy's 4, it gives the backstory of the Afton family and also gives the backstory of Michael Afton, one of the most important characters in the lore.
#The Custom Night is no longer just a simple bonus for completing the entire game, but an important mode to expand the lore.
#The ending in the Golden Freddy mode (V. Hard) from the Custom Night is an excellent way to tease Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator.

#The concept of a giant custom night with most of the animatronics from the previous games with no limits is a great idea and is great for people who want challenges.
#Like Sister Location and FFPS, instead of using a regular mouse to play the game, you now have to use the entire keyboard to play, which contributes to the game being fun.
#There are 50 animatronics in the game, making it the best character roster in the entire franchise.
#Like Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, the game is free to play, although it's paid on mobile and console.
==Jumpscared Qualities==
===Overall===
#While the gameplay is simple yet enjoyable and fun, it can be boring at times, especially in early nights. However, it becomes more challenging in later nights.
#The earlier mobile versions (the ones developed by Scott Cawthon himself) are mediocre, due to downgraded effects, the jumpscares missing several frames, and more aggressive animatronics. Thankfully, they've been removed and replaced by the ones remastered by Clickteam USA.
#Another annoying thing is that both versions of the mobile ports feature microtransactions despite being paid (except Sister Location, which doesn't have them) and have a cheat mode that removes all the challenges in the game but thankfully they're pretty optional, to the point they're not needed.
#Due to the nature of being extremely hidden, the lore, despite being great, is also confusing at times due to it not being very direct. The later installments (SL and FFPS) are connected to the lore of the first 4 games, making it more confusing to newcomers.
#Much like Among Us (albeit it's inverted), Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator and Ultimate Custom Night are free on PC but they're paid on mobile and console due to the latter versions being coded by Clickteam to converting said platforms.
#The jumpscares from FNaF 1 and 2 are rather cheap and lose their scare factor shortly after you progress. Although the game is still pretty scary.
#This is also noticeable in FNaF 3, where the jumpscares feel less scary due to the annoying use of J Major from the Phantom animatronics, this issue was also carried over to Ultimate Custom Night.
#For some reason, before Sister Location, many of the games were only playable in Fullscreen, and stretched Widescreen, while this could be due to want for some gamers by having a more primitive atmosphere of said games, it feels a little bit cheap since the first game was Widescreen.
#The jumpscares themselves can come off as annoying nowadays.
===Five Nights at Freddy's 2===
#Artificial difficulty: Despite the game telling you to use the mask to avoid the jumpscares from the Toy Animatronics and most of the #Withered Animatronics, you will still get jumpscared when you put it. This is because the game wants you to put it instantly, which is extremely difficult for those who aren't fast enough to avoid the animatronics. As a result, this causes cheap deaths and tons of jump scares.
#The graphics, while decent, feel a bit inferior to FNaF 1's graphics.
===Five Nights at Freddy's 3===
#The jumpscares are underwhelming at best.
#If the Phantom Animatronics are excluded due to being hallucinations, therefore, there is only one animatronic in the game, which is pretty barebones.
#The way to get a good ending is pretty difficult: To get said ending, you must play ALL the minigames each night, which are scattered through secrets and easter eggs.
#Despite what WIR#2 says, the game is really easy to beat, making it one of the easiest entries in the series.
#Even though the graphics are an improvement over FNaF 2, they're unfortunately ruined and they're mainly disliked due to the ugly color palette, as well as the game overall looking unappealing.
===Five Nights at Freddy's 4===
#The fact that you have to listen closely to hear breathing is underwhelming, not helped by the fact that the loudness of the jumpscares could destroy your eardrums.
#Some of the designs of the animatronics look less scary, especially Plushtrap which looks more cute than terrifying.
===Sister Location===
#One word and one number: Night 4. It is considered the most difficult night of the entire game due to it wanting the player to click on the spring locks, which is extremely difficult due to the player not being that fast to click them all in once.
===Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator===
#For some reason, the game had a lower age rating than previous titles, despite containing jumpscares and blood.
===Ultimate Custom Night===
#There are plenty of missing animatronics in the game, such as Funtime Freddy, Bon Bon, Withered Freddy, Withered Foxy, and others.
#Due to the game's heavy focus on gameplay and challenge, the jumpscares stop being quickly scary and look cheesy at times.
==Reception==
On Metacritic, the reception of the games is varied, ranging from 78 to 52. However, the user scores are much higher. Outside of Metacritic, the franchise received widespread critical acclaim and is often considered one of the greatest horror franchises of all time. It was praised for its scary atmosphere, great graphics, simple yet enjoyable gameplay, and most importantly, the impressive lore. It was featured on multiple Top 10 Best Horror Game Franchises of All Time lists.
==Trivia==
There was a question most fans asked back when UCN was released, and that is if the game was canon or not, although some theories confirm that the game was meant to be a purgatory/hell for William Afton for murdering the kids.

'''''Five Nights at Freddy's'' (often abbreviated as FNaF)''' is a point-and-click horror game developed and published by Scott Cawthon. The first game was released on August 8th, 2014 for Microsoft Windows, initially on IndieDB and later on Steam. Since its release, the game has spawned multiple sequels. In 2018, Cawthon announced that his next FNaF games would be developed by a studio that initially didn't say their name but it was later revealed when Help Wanted was revealed on a State of Play in March 2019. The franchise received widespread critical acclaim and is often considered one of the best indie horror franchises of all time and is ranked on multiple lists among the best horror game franchises of all time. This will focus on the Clickteam era, when the games were made with Clickteam Fusion, all of them being made by Scott Cawthon himself, which ran from 2014 to 2018.

'''''Five Nights at Freddy's'' (often abbreviated as FNaF)''' is a point-and-click horror game developed and published by Scott Cawthon. The first game was released on August 8th, 2014 for Microsoft Windows, initially on IndieDB and later on Steam. Since its release, the game has spawned multiple sequels. In 2018, Cawthon announced that his next FNaF games would be developed by a studio that initially didn't say their name but it was later revealed when Help Wanted was revealed on a State of Play in March 2019. The franchise received widespread critical acclaim and is often considered one of the best indie horror franchises of all time and is ranked on multiple lists among the best horror game franchises of all time. This will focus on the Clickteam era, when the games were made with Clickteam Fusion, all of them being made by Scott Cawthon himself, which ran from 2014 to 2018.
==Why It's Ready for Freddy==
===Overall===
#The franchise is heavily responsible for popularizing horror point-and-click games and possibly the entire indie horror genre. You have to thank this franchise for the fact that games like Tattletail, [[Bendy and The Ink Machine|Bendy and the Ink Machine]], CASE: Animatronics and Boogeyman exist.
#The concept of a night guard surviving from 4 possessed animatronics is amazing, which is inspired by Chuck E. Cheese's.
#Fantastic lore and is considered one of the best and most interesting lore in a video game. Rather than telling you directly like in most games, the story is told through easter eggs and mini-games and players have to analyze it.
#Because of this way of understanding the story, the franchise is very popular for spawning a massive amount of theories about the lore. There's a reason why YouTubers like MatPat (a.k.a The Game Theorists) became so popular.
#Not only is the lore fantastic, but it also popularized the use of hidden easter eggs and secrets to reveal the lore in several indie games.
#Thanks to the popularity of the franchise, it spawned a huge and devoted fanbase and made tons of FNaF fan games, and while most are poorly done, there are also fan games that are equally as good as the original games themselves.
#Even though the games used the Clickteam Engine, which was considered outdated, the graphics are very good, especially in later FNaF games, such as Sister Location and Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator (FNaF 6).
#The gameplay is simplistic yet enjoyable. While using the mouse to control the game doesn't sound exciting, it becomes challenging in later #nights. The gameplay also changes in each entry, with Sister Location changing the furthest.
#Despite the gameplay, the controls in the console and mobile versions are pretty amanzing and don't feel cheesy.
===Five Nights at Freddy's 1===
#Before Sister Location, it was the only FNaF game to be available in widescreen.
===Five Nights at Freddy's 2===
#It has more animatronics than the first game combined, such as the Toy animatronics, the Withered animatronics, and the Shadow animatronics.
#It introduces us to The Puppet, one of the creepiest animatronics in the franchise. Is the one that animating the classic animatronics( Freddy,Boonie,Chica,Foxy and Golden Freddy)
#The cutscenes that take place between nights are disturbing thanks to the moody and dark lighting and horrifically distorted sounds of laughter and singing.
#It was the first game in the series to introduce 8-bit mini-games, which would become a staple in the series.
===Five Nights at Freddy's 3===
#The concept of having one animatronic tracking the entire pizzeria is admittedly a bit creepy, especially when you realize the origin of it.
#The Phantom Animatronics do a good job of being distractions, helping the difficulty to increase.
#The graphics are an improvement over the first game and the second game.
#It's the first game in the series to feature multiple endings, in this case, two. And these two endings are the bad ending and the good ending.
#Night 6 is no longer just a typical night but much harder, and instead explains a lot about the lore, and that is, the Fazbear Fright was burned down and Springtrap survived the incident.
===Five Nights at Freddy's 4===
#The graphics are now much more realistic, making the gameplay a lot scarier.
#Good Nightmare Animatronics designs, which do fit the style of the game.
#Simply gives the backstory of the Afton family and one of the reasons why William Afton murdered the children at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.
#On that topic, we finally get to see how the creation of Golden Freddy came to be, as it happened in the most disturbing, yet depressing way: #The Crying Child gets his frontal lobe bitten by Fredbear thanks to the Spring Locks in the animatronic and due to being hold onto by Michael #Afton and his friends as a prank.
#Up until Sister Location, this was deemed the most disturbing game in the series, thanks to the terrifying sounds and atmosphere, which were inspired by A Nightmare in Elm Street.
#The Halloween DLC introduces more animatronics and a harder version of Fun With Plushtrap called Fun With Balloon Boy.
===Sister Location===
#The gameplay improved tremendously, as instead of being stuck in an office, you now have to do multiple tasks each night, which makes the game more fun and far less repetitive.
#The lore expanded tremendously and was done very well and in a different, as instead of using easter eggs and secret minigames, the game now tells you stuff while at the same time, you have to analyze the secrets of the game.
#Speaking of which, it is by far the installment with the most amount of theories due to it being a major contributor to the lore.
#The graphics have improved tremendously and are much better than ever.
#The jumpscares are also a massive improvement over the cheap ones from FNaF 1, 2, 3, and, to some extent, 4. They have a lot of variety and don't use just one cheap sprite with one jumpscare and put them in every animatronic, rather, they all have different animations, with different jumpscare sounds, which are scary and make the jumpscares much scarier.
#Like Five Nights at Freddy's 4, it gives the backstory of the Afton family and also gives the backstory of Michael Afton, one of the most important characters in the lore.
#The Custom Night is no longer just a simple bonus for completing the entire game, but an important mode to expand the lore.
#The ending in the Golden Freddy mode (V. Hard) from the Custom Night is an excellent way to tease Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator.
===Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator===
#It is the first mainline FNAF game to completely be free to play.
#Springtrap returns from FNAF 3, and is as scarier as ever thanks to his design, however, he only appears during the ventilation shift.
#Helpy is a fun character who provides the game's mood whiplash from the disturbing imagery.
#It's the first game to feature more than two endings and isn't clunky like Five Nights at Freddy's 3.
#The Completion Ending is excellent and would have been a good way to end the lore if it didn't continue past this game.
===Ultimate Custom Night===
#The concept of a giant custom night with most of the animatronics from the previous games with no limits is a great idea and is great for people who want challenges.
#Like Sister Location and FFPS, instead of using a regular mouse to play the game, you now have to use the entire keyboard to play, which contributes to the game being fun.
#There are 50 animatronics in the game, making it the best character roster in the entire franchise.
#Like Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, the game is free to play, although it's paid on mobile and console.
==Jumpscared Qualities==
===Overall===
#While the gameplay is simple yet enjoyable and fun, it can be boring at times, especially in early nights. However, it becomes more challenging in later nights.
#The earlier mobile versions (the ones developed by Scott Cawthon himself) are mediocre, due to downgraded effects, the jumpscares missing several frames, and more aggressive animatronics. Thankfully, they've been removed and replaced by the ones remastered by Clickteam USA.
#Another annoying thing is that both versions of the mobile ports feature microtransactions despite being paid (except Sister Location, which doesn't have them) and have a cheat mode that removes all the challenges in the game but thankfully they're pretty optional, to the point they're not needed.
#Due to the nature of being extremely hidden, the lore, despite being great, is also confusing at times due to it not being very direct. The later installments (SL and FFPS) are connected to the lore of the first 4 games, making it more confusing to newcomers.
#Much like Among Us (albeit it's inverted), Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator and Ultimate Custom Night are free on PC but they're paid on mobile and console due to the latter versions being coded by Clickteam to converting said platforms.
#The jumpscares from FNaF 1 and 2 are rather cheap and lose their scare factor shortly after you progress. Although the game is still pretty scary.
#This is also noticeable in FNaF 3, where the jumpscares feel less scary due to the annoying use of J Major from the Phantom animatronics, this issue was also carried over to Ultimate Custom Night.
#For some reason, before Sister Location, many of the games were only playable in Fullscreen, and stretched Widescreen, while this could be due to want for some gamers by having a more primitive atmosphere of said games, it feels a little bit cheap since the first game was Widescreen.
#The jumpscares themselves can come off as annoying nowadays.

This is because the game wants you to put it instantly, which is extremely difficult for those who aren't fast enough to avoid the animatronics. As a result, this causes cheap deaths and tons of jump scares.
#The graphics, while decent, feel a bit inferior to FNaF 1's graphics.

#Despite what WIR#2 says, the game is really easy to beat, making it one of the easiest entries in the series.
#Even though the graphics are an improvement over FNaF 2, they're unfortunately ruined and they're mainly disliked due to the ugly color palette, as well as the game overall looking unappealing.
===Five Nights at Freddy's 4===
#The fact that you have to listen closely to hear breathing is underwhelming, not helped by the fact that the loudness of the jumpscares could destroy your eardrums.
#Some of the designs of the animatronics look less scary, especially Plushtrap which looks more cute than terrifying.
===Sister Location===
#One word and one number: Night 4. It is considered the most difficult night of the entire game due to it wanting the player to click on the spring locks, which is extremely difficult due to the player not being that fast to click them all in once.
===Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator===
#For some reason, the game had a lower age rating than previous titles, despite containing jumpscares and blood.
===Ultimate Custom Night===
#There are plenty of missing animatronics in the game, such as Funtime Freddy, Bon Bon, Withered Freddy, Withered Foxy, and others.
#Due to the game's heavy focus on gameplay and challenge, the jumpscares stop being quickly scary and look cheesy at times.

Season Two is based on The Judas Contract, and Season Four is based on The Terror of Trigon.It sometimes tackles dark subject matters in a good way such as: Racism.The main characters have good chemistry which makes them unique from each other, for the most part.Just like the Power Ranger series, it has a perfect mix of Drama, Comedy, and Action.The humor is witty and hilarious as it has funny anime-styled facial expressions such as white eyes, and big heads.Silkie is a cute mutant caterpillar.There are several original villains made just for the show, such as Billy Numerous, Cinderblock, The Amazing Mumbo, Control Freak, and Red X.Billy Numerous, Cinderblock, and Red X would eventually make their way into the official DC Comics canon thanks to the show.The popularity of Raven in Teen Titans brought her so much new popularity that DC resurrected her in the comics.Slade is arguably one of the most terrifying villains in cartoon history, especially thanks to his manipulative nature and machinations.Some of the villains are rather likable, especially Jinx (who later on became a fan favorite/fan service among people), who eventually turned good in the final season.The show is perfectly faithful to the DC Comic Book series.It spawned three great games based on the show: Teen Titans 1 and 2 for the GBA and Teen Titans (video game) released for GameCube, PlayStation 2, and Xbox in 2006.It's responsible for introducing Cheshire's now-iconic cat mask.Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo, the TV movie is amazing.[edit]Bad QualitiesThe series' cancellation left a lot of things unresolved such as the true identity of Red X, who was responsible for the toxin in Slade's mask, and how Terra came back from the dead.This is the first TV series to make use of the annoying flash hits that trigger when someone is about to be hit.Out of all the main characters, Starfire never got a whole season focused on her."The Beast Within" is a very mean-spirited episode with the Titans acting out of character.The show was made lighter than most DC Animated Universe shows (despite being set in its own universe) to be suited for a younger audience (like Static Shock) but lacked the nuance of those other adaptations as a result.Villains often had sympathetic motivations removed in order to not appeal to kids (a notable example being Slade, who in the comics, had a grudge against the Titans for the death of his son).Some episodes have more childish plots and storytelling than most, though not a huge problem.The last episode, "Things Change", wasn't a good series finale, due to it resolving nothing and ending the show on a cliffhanger.Worse still, Cartoon Network has shown zero interest in ever reviving the show, despite being announced that if the film does alright it might have a chance that the original series might get a season 6.Despite being amazing, Trouble in Tokyo ignores the events of "Things Change" and doesn't resolve the cliffhanger.The 2013 spin-off Teen Titans Go! is terrible and it's a giant middle finger to fans of the original series.The 2019 crossover movie with Teen Titans Go! called Teen Titans Go! vs. Teen Titans, although it was positively received by critics, it wasn't well-received by fans of the original show because of the original Teen Titans being completely out of character.
==Reception==
Teen Titans was one of Cartoon Network's most beloved shows, with its animation style and character development being especially praised. It spawned its own comic book series, feature film, and video games. Even years after its cancellation, fans still seek a sixth season and curse the existence of Teen Titans Go! for soiling the name of this series.
==Trivia==
When the theme song is played in Japanese, it usually means the episode will be light-hearted.The theme song was sung by the Japanese pop duo Puffy AmiYumi in both English and Japanese, who later got their own show, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi.It spawned a comic book called Teen Titans Go! (not to be confused with the terrible TV series) which ran from 2004 to 2008 for 55 comics.Ciro Nieli, one of the directors for this series, would later be worked on two TV shows:Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!: a Disney cartoon that was aired on Jetix block on ABC Family and Toon Disney from 2004 to 2006. The series used an anime-influenced and most of the voice actors from Teen Titans voiced some of the characters, especially Greg Cipes as Chiro, the show's main protagonist.Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012): a Nicktoon which was a 2012 reboot of the same name and it was aired on Nickelodeon and Nicktoons from 2012 to 2017. The series was also anime-influenced and some of the voice actors from Teen Titans voiced characters. They even have an anime-type show like this called Super Robo Mecha Force V and it contains several references and inspired characters from SRMTHFG.In 2023, the show's spin-off Teen Titans Go! became Cartoon Network's longest-running acquired animated series and the network's second longest-running series overall, the first being Ed, Edd n Eddy.The show became famous in Japan, mainly because of lots of anime-styled elements and Starfire and Jinx being somewhat of a Moe Girls.Just like My Life as a Teenage Robot which also aired in 2003, (at least in North America), it spawned several NSFW adult parody videos by YouTuber ZONE-SAMA, which can be found on Newgrounds and YouTube.

Epic Mickey (known as Epic Mickey: Mickey Mouse to Mahou no Fude in Japan) is an action-adventure platform game directed by Warren Spector, developed by Junction Point Studios and published by Disney Interactive Studios exclusively for the Wii. It received a remake on September 24, 2024 called Epic Mickey: Rebrushed.
==Plot==
After invading Yen Sid's workshop via a magic mirror portal, Mickey witnesses the creation of Cartoon Wasteland, a location that is very reminiscent of Disneyland for forgotten Disney characters. The mage then decides to go sleep and amazed by it, Mickey uses the brush and the magic paint to create a paint sculpture of himself, but it ends up turning into the Blot. Mickey then tries to erase the monster with the magic thinner to no avail as shown later on. All the ruckus wakes up Yen Sid, who decides to see what was going on. The mouse quickly moves out of the scene, but Wasteland is devastated by the mess. Decades of success later, Mickey completely forgets about the incident, until he is kidnapped by the Shadow Blot and pulled into the world. Before the so-called Thinner Disaster, the Mad Doctor worked closely with Oswald before he got power-hungry after the Blot was unleashed. The Mad Doctor and Oswald had created robotic "Beetleworx", which originally helped out in Wasteland, but then began patrolling Wasteland and capturing Gremlins. They also created robotic versions of Mickey's friends to keep Oswald company, looking like Donald Duck, Goofy, and Daisy Duck respectively. Upon realizing what he has done, Mickey sets out to clean up his mess and restore Wasteland with the help of the magical paintbrush, as well as defeat the Blot, gain the trust of Oswald and return home to the Toon World.
==Why It's Epic==
Original
Great controls. Wii games are usually infamous for having screwy motion controls, but this is one of the games that handles it properly.A big variety of places to explore, with some examples being Ventureland, Mickeyjunk Mountain (this one being so big it's divided in 5 levels) and Tomorrow City, all of which are inspired by Disney-related things.There are plenty of collectibles to be found, from e-tickets to concept art.The story is engagingly creative and has a pretty dark and shady tone, which is a first for a Mickey game.A few jokes are sprinkled here and there, meaning that it doesn't take itself excessively seriously.As previously mentioned, lots of obscure Disney characters make a comeback after many decades, such as Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, his girlfriend Ortensia and the Gremlins from an unreleased 1940s film and the 2008 comic Return of the Gremlins, as well as alternate versions of Pete (those being Petetronic, Pete Pan and Small Pete).Speaking of the Gremlins, their leader Gus is a very good mentor figure for Mickey, showing him what to do in various scenarios and teaching all about Wasteland, its inhabitants and history.The soundtrack (composed by James Dooley) is nothing short of impressive and it really brings the seriousness home. A few highlights being Dark Beauty Castle, Mean Street, Tomorrow City and the themes for the Clock Tower and Petetronic boss fights.Also, the song will change when there are enemies around, Zelda Ocarina of Time and Sonic Unleashed style.The song also changes depending on how much the player has painted or thinned.The character designs are really cool and help give off the vibe of a dark-toned game, such as Mickey having ink flow off himself.Goofy, Daisy, and Donald make appearances as animatronics. Recollecting their parts is also not only very satisfying, but rewards the player with a cutscene, more tasks to complete, and a better ending.The paint and thinner mechanic is really useful and unique, as it can reveal extra goods, trapped Gremlins and/or create alternate paths, additional platforms and even kill or befriend Blotlings (paint enemies).One of the enemy species is called a "Sweeper", and they're a good callback to The Sorcerer's Apprentice, from Fantasia.The sketches are quite fun to use too, and are all unique in their own ways:The TV can be used to distract enemies and activate electric contraptions, and the screen of the TV itself shows a short clip of the 1928 classic, Steamboat Willie.The Watch can slow down time, which is helpful against fast-moving elemental pieces, big groups of enemies and time-based puzzles.The Anvil can squash enemies and trigger pressure plates.The game uses projector screens playing old Disney cartoons as a means of transportation from one place to another, which is an extremely creative touch and it seems to take some notes on Mickey Mania's level design.By using enough paint or thinner to interact with the world, the player can attract Guardians (the paint ones are named Tints and the thinner ones are named Turps), and they serve to indicate where to go in case they get lost and to fight the Blotlings for Mickey.Lots of interesting bosses, such as animatronic Captain Hook and the Mad Doctor. They can be defeated either with Thinner or Paint, upgrade the capacity of the substance used to fight said boss and also get the player a better or worse ending.The cutscenes have a nice hand-drawn style and splendid animation, making them a decent callback to the old Mickey Mouse cartoons.The Blot is a really intimidating, powerful and menacing figure and the game isn't afraid at all to show it, especially in the scene where he holds Gus and Oswald hostage and demands for Mickey's heart."Now I really do see why he liked you."The level inside the Blot is by far, the most high-stakes, intense and thrilling of them all.Both the good and bad endings do an excellent job at making the player feel accomplished or incompetent, as both of them change depending on what actions that the player had performed earlier in the game.
Rebrushed
The graphics, which were great in the original has been enhanced here. All thanks to Purple Lamp Gmbh, known for SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated and SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake.The camera, which was a problem in the original, has been fixed here.You can now sprint, dash, and ground pound.
==Bad Qualities==
Overall
The Goofy, Donald and Daisy animatronics are a bit scary, especially for younger audiences for the following reasons:Goofy not only has torn clothes, but he also has an entire arm missing and a lack of a pair of eyes.Donald has a completely opened leg, arm, and torso, and he also lacks one eye.Daisy, despite being the least creepy of the three, has a partially broken leg, arm, and bow, has an opened torso, and has completely black eyes.Mostly no voice acting. The characters, aside from Yen Sid, only do random noises when they talk, with a text appearing on the bottom of the screen.There are a few questionable character choices, such as are Clarabelle, Horace and Pete, since that by the time that this game released, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse was already four years old, which had both Clarabelle and Pete in it, and Horace had appeared in other games that had released before this game, such as Kingdom Hearts 2.The Bunny Children in Mickeyjunk Mountain and Mean Street are a hassle to deal with. That being said, they are useful for getting rid of Spatters.Once you fail a quest you can't really go back. Heck, you can't go back to previous areas through the projector.
Original
While the camera is perfectly functional for the most part, it can be a bit clunky to move every now and then. Thankfully, this was fixed in the Japanese release of the game.
Rebrushed
There is still no voice-acting, which is egregious for a 2024 game.The Switch version runs at 30fps despite the system being more powerful than the Wii. It's understandable given that the remake was made on Unreal Engine 4.

The Amazing World of Gumball is a British-American animated television series created by Ben Bocquelet for Cartoon Network. Produced primarily by Cartoon Network Development Studio Europe, it first aired on May 3, 2011. Two miniseries, Darwin's Yearbook and The Gumball Chronicles aired after the show's ending. The former aired from December 14, 2019, to December 28, 2019, and the latter from October 20, 2020, to June 20, 2021. The series revolves around the life of Gumball Watterson, a 12-year-old cat who attends middle school in the fictional city of Elmore. Accompanied by his adoptive goldfish brother Darwin Watterson, he frequently finds himself involved in various shenanigans around the city, during which he interacts with his other family members—sister Anais and parents Nicole and Richard, and an extended supporting cast of characters. A seventh season is in the works.
Bocquelet based several of the series' characters on rejected characters from his previous commercial work and made its premise a mixture of "family shows and school shows", which Cartoon Network was heavily interested in. He pitched The Amazing World of Gumball to the network and Turner Broadcasting executive Daniel Lennard subsequently greenlit production of the series. It is the first series to be produced by Cartoon Network Development Studio Europe and is currently co-produced with Studio SOI and Great Marlborough Productions Limited.
One unique feature of the series is its lack of stylistic unity. Characters are designed, filmed, and animated using different styles and techniques (stylized traditional animation, puppetry, CGI, stop motion, Flash animation, live-action, etc.) The series has made multiple stylistic changes throughout its production, specifically in the transition between its first and second seasons. Such changes include character redesigns, an increase in the use of VFX, higher quality animation, and a shift towards a much more satirical comedic style.
==Plot==
No, this animated series is not about anthropomorphic chewing gum, it's about a young cat named Gumball Watterson. Gumball has a penchant for getting into trouble, often resulting from schemes he comes up with, but he never seems to learn his lesson. Gumball's best friend is a fish named Darwin, who used to be the family pet until he grew legs and became part of the family. Gumball resents his younger sister, Anais, because she is the smartest member of the family. Gumball's mother is the breadwinner in the family, working long hours at the rainbow factory, and his father stays at home watching TV and playing video games.
==Why It's Amazing==
It's an animated sitcom about a family just like The Simpsons, South Park and Family Guy, but more focused on the family's kids than the parents themselves, something not so common to be seen in kids shows, and it's very captivating, especially for an early 2010's cartoon.In a similar manner to Drawn Together (yet much larger), many of the characters' designs are mixed with various art styles such as 2D, 3D, claymation, live-action/puppet, traditional (mostly flash, digital ink, and paint, as cel animation (hand-drawn) is no longer standing in the animation industry since the late 1990s/early 2000s), and CGI, which looks very unique for a show, even today.Impressively creative, beautiful, and colorful animation and art style, which is some of the best-looking shows ever created on Cartoon Network, and maybe of all time.Unforgettable cast, both for the Wattersons themselves and the secondary characters, especially Gumball's schoolmates:Gumball Watterson, the protagonist, is a very kind yet irreverent at the same time blue cat that loves getting in trouble and adventures with his pals and his family. He's mostly loyal to his family and very respectful to his girlfriend, Penny, and has an incredible bond with Darwin.Darwin, Gumball's "pet fish" and best friend, is an optimistic walking goldfish who looks for the solution to every problem, but he's a little bit naive and full of pity.Anais Watterson is a tiny, nervous 4-year-old pink bunny who's ironically the most clever family member and Gumball and Darwin's main voice of reason. Despite this, still has her toddler's passions, in particular, her beloved stuffed animal, Daisy the Donkey.Nicole Watterson is a very strong, decisive mother who cares a lot about her job and primarily her kids' safety. However, she gets angry often when somebody messes with her (and when does that, turns out creepy), but when there's nothing wrong all around, is a very gentle mom.Richard Watterson is the fatty lazy father with a comic profile in him, a friendly and very funny butterball who keeps on stealing the scene cause of his mediocre parenting, and is like a good combination of Homer Simpson and Patrick Star.Penny is the sweet-horned peanut/fairy who cares a lot about Gumball and shares a great love with him. Furthermore, she receives great character development in which she changes aspects to reveal her true nature behind the shell.Tobias Wilson is the rainbow fluffy character which is the classic 90's athletic boy; a little bit selfish, but not bad at all.Banana Joe is a surprisingly good and friendly comic relief character with a quite low I.Q..Carrie Krueger is the emo/goth/punk rock ghost who despite her edgy exterior, is one of the nicer students at Elmore Junior High. Since "The Matchmaker", she has been dating Darwin.Alan Keane is the hopeful and perfect balloon who is written to be as amiable and likable as he can be.Carmen Verde is the intelligent cactus who is in a relationship with Alan (which when you think about it, is ironic and funny). Their bond proves how defects cannot stop the love among a couple.Tina Rex is the dinosaur school bully with a cold heart who likes to torment all the students, even Gumball. However, this is justifiable by the fact her father is way more aggressive towards guests, which explains her bad behavior.Anton is an optimistic piece of toast who's the school's chewing toy.Idaho is a gentle and modest living potato who comes from an Amish-esque family.Clayton is a shapeshifter red clay ball who's good at lying.Masami Yoshida is the spoiled rich cloud girl who is obsessed with popularity and getting her way, however, this is justifiable considering the wealth of her family. In later seasons, she becomes a lot more likable.Teri is a paper cutout of a bear who is a hypochondriac.Bobert is a robot with emotional problems but is very smart.Ocho Tootmorsel is the 8-bit spider that has serious anger and trust issues but remains likable for the most part.Leslie is Penny's close cousin and a flower who despite being male, inherits many feminine traits.Juke is a stereo-headed kid who can only communicate through beatboxing.The Indian intro of the show is hilarious (as it is made in comic book-esque style).Speaking of which, this is one of the few shows to receive a passable Hindi dub.The Japanese outro of the show is also good.Awesome and very expressive voice acting.Entertaining and fast-paced plots.Many good, clever, and hilarious jokes, with a perfect mixture of black comedy as the show progresses.Numerous pop culture references, such as video games, movies, shows, and anime. These are normally very hard for other shows to get right.There is even one episode where Gumball makes a joke about going to a brony convention, which is something Cartoon Network shows don't usually do.There is also another episode making fun of shipping fanfics, with unusual pairs in the town falling madly in love.Several excellent catchy songs like "Weird Like You and Me", "The Vermin Man", "I Am Free", "Without You", "Books are Violent", and "I Can't Say Goodbye", and the list goes on.Rob's transition from being a background character into an antagonist was well executed.The Void's concept (where a dimension is full of the world's mistakes) is a pretty interesting and clever idea.The show greatly improves after season 1 with better plots, better animation, more reasonable stories, and most importantly, more refined comedy, mostly meta-humor.Despite the show being aimed at kids, it could easily be enjoyed by adults as well due to its surreal humor and some adult jokes.Several hilarious, awesome, and memorable episodes such asThe DVD (where first impressions of the series were met with high expectations)The EndThe ResponsibleThe QuestThe PaintingThe MysteryThe PressureThe GiThe PartyThe MustacheThe MicrowaveThe HelmetThe RemoteThe KnightsThe JobHalloweenThe WordsThe TreasureChristmasThe VirusThe GameThe TapeThe WorldThe KidsThe JoyThe NameThe VacationThe FraudThe VoidThe BossThe Shell (yet also one of the best episodes with character development between Gumball and Penny)The MirrorThe ButterflyThe SafetyThe CountdownThe DownerThe MoneyThe ReturnThe OthersThe RoutineThe Origins (both parts)The NestThe BusThe SlapThe DetectiveThe Fury (features an anime battle scene)The ScamThe Disaster/The Rerun (which ended season 4 and started season 5 with a positive reception.)The BoredomThe Choices (arguably the best episode)The CodeThe Copycats (also counts as the best and was made to mock its Chinese knockoff, Miracle Star)The MatchmakerThe ConsoleThe SorcererThe MenuThe Puppets (a good way to end season 5.)The Shippening (made to acknowledge and satirize the show's fandom, shipping fanfics, and DeviantArt)The SpinoffsThe BuddyThe PossessionThe MasterThe SilenceThe FutureThe Agent

Sonic the Hedgehog (commonly referred to as Sonic '06) is a 2006 action-adventure platform video game in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, released as a celebration of the 15th anniversary of the series. Intended to be a reboot of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, it was developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega. It was released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3; ports intended for the Wii and Microsoft Windows were also in development, but the PC port was scrapped due to its development cycle, while the Wii port became Sonic and the Secret Rings due to the Wii's hardware limitations.
==Plot==
Dr. Eggman plans to revive an evil demon known as Iblis by kidnapping Princess Elise of Soleanna. However, in the future, Iblis has caused the end of the world, causing a hedgehog known as Silver to go back in time, believing Sonic is responsible for awakening Iblis. What no one knows is that they are all pawns of another demon known as Mephiles, who plans to unite with Iblis as both Iblis and Mephiles were once a single entity known as Solaris, the God of Time.
==Gameplay==
The game features three main playable characters (Sonic, Shadow, and Sliver) along with a plethora of playable side characters in a set of 3D platforming levels with a linear layout that are very similar to those from Sonic Adventure and it's sequel, Sonic Adventure 2, with some of them having different gimmicks like snowboarding and bike-riding in a few levels. There are also several hub-worlds with various missions that are meant to access some of the levels important to the game's story. All of the characters have their powers and abilities that are associated with them and are meant to be useful for taking out enemies and accessing areas in some levels more easily for players.
==Why the Game Was Rushed==
After the game was announced, the development faced serious problems, starting with Yuji Naka's resignation as head of Sonic Team to form his own company, Prope, as he became unhappy with his job as a manager in recent years and wanted to go back into programming games again. With his departure, "the heart and soul of Sonic" was gone, according to former Sega of America CEO Tom Kalinske. Sonic the Hedgehog was originally intended for release on all major seventh-generation consoles as well as Microsoft Windows, but when presented with development kits for Nintendo's less powerful Wii console, the team was split in two. Nakamura led one team to finish Sonic the Hedgehog for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 while producer Yojiro Ogawa led the other half to begin work on Sonic and the Secret Rings for the Wii. The split left an unusually small development team to work on Sonic the Hedgehog. So, Sega began pressuring the team to release the game by Christmas 2006, so with the deadline quickly approaching, Sonic Team rushed the final stages of development, ignoring existing bugs and design issues. Various planned features were dropped, such as a time of day and night mechanic similar to the one later implemented in Sonic Unleashed, and additional multiplayer components.
In retrospect, Ogawa noted that the final period proved to be a large challenge for the team. Not only was the Xbox 360 release imminent but the PlayStation 3 launch was scheduled not that long afterward. This put tremendous pressure on the team to develop both systems. Similarly, series producer Takashi Iizuka recalled, "We didn't have any time to polish and we were just churning out content as quick as we could."

=4Why It's No Use!==
As stated above, the game was heavily rushed and had a terrible development cycle. Sonic Team didn't finish the game; instead, they took an untested alpha build. This predictably caused a great number of issues listed below. The manual lists items and features that aren't even in the game (Like an Xbox Live mode that never comes out in the game) and half of the achievements have grammatical errors. For example:You can't even jump on enemies to defeat them. You know, one of the most classic features in the entire franchise!This game also suffered from executive meddling.One of the main complaints about this game is that has lots of glitches and bugs, thanks to being rushed; many gimmicks are buggy, it's easy to glitch through walls, and sometimes the character model can disappear, you can get stuck on the rails, there are some areas without collision, etc.Poor controls and terrible cameras make the game frustratingly bad and more difficult, making it hard to jump through rings or drive a vehicle. It also makes the game unfairly difficult. Bad controls can cause cheap deaths. For example, in the first zone, there is a bridge below an item box that Sonic can get stuck on and die if you aren't moving the left stick after going on the ramp just before the bridge.Just a slight tilt of the analog stick is more than enough to turn your character 90 degrees.Due to improper physics implementation, moving on an incline doesn't feel any different from moving on a flat surface, characters come to an immediate stop upon release of the joystick, characters can stand upside-down on the ceilings of loops, and jumping feels very floaty. To add insult to injury, the game uses the Havok physics engine, which is known for awesome physics capabilities and was used in lots of awesome games like Half-Life 2, Far Cry 2 and F.E.A.R.The game also suffers from a terrible framerate; there are plenty of moments where the game drops into single-digit frames, almost of slideshow quality. It's pretty bad on Xbox 360, and even worse on PS3 (see WINU#27).Terrible and lackluster voice acting for pretty much everyone. Some of it doesn't match with the in-game dialogue textboxes and most of the characters have annoying catchphrases (especially Silver with his "IT'S NO USE" phrase), Pete Capella can get annoying as Silver at times, Lacey Chabert is whiny as Princess Elise, Kathleen Delaney as Rouge the Bat is once again dull and still unfitting and Maddie Blaustein as E-123 Omega is cringeworthy and unfitting to listen too and has the worst voice.The story is convoluted, messy, and downright riddled with plot holes to the point it's an older cousin of the Star Wars sequel trilogy. The reason for all of this is that this game was meant to be a series reboot; if that was the case, it would be fine, but for some strange reason, Sonic Generations (and later Sonic X Shadow Generations) treats it as canon with the rest of the series (albeit with a better stage and rival battle with Silver) (In fact, it introduced a huge continuity hole to the Modern Era timeline), so the massive retcons, inconsistencies, and plotholes can't be excused anymore and also introduces plot holes in the rest of the lore. Some examples include (but are not limited to):Sonic and his friends can time travel with the Chaos Emeralds. Why don't they just go back in time and extinguish The Flame Of Hope (aka Solaris) right away to prevent the end of the world?!Mephiles' plan doesn't make sense either. Why won't he just go back in time and merge with Iblis right away?In the scene where Shadow is sealing Mephiles in the staff, Mephiles says that one day he will escape and kill Shadow, which could explain how Mephiles knows Shadow when they first meet because Shadow was meant to stop Mephiles. However, Shadow was still sealed in the capsule in Prison Island at that time, so there was no way he could have stopped Mephiles in the first place.The aforementioned ability to time travel at will has no limitations or consequences. This game exemplifies why time travel is such a risky plot device because of how easy it is to cock up.During the scene when Shadow meets Mephiles, he introduces himself to him, however, when he meets Mephiles again, Shadow asks Mephiles how he knew his name. Does Shadow still have amnesia?Why did Shadow leave the Sceptre of Darkness behind? Even Silver questions this decision, mind you!Shadow works for G.U.N, which was the same organization that tried to kill him in the last game (the game's Expert Mode contains some dialogue that helps fill this in, but it's quite a far fetch).Before the Duke (Elise's father) dies, he seals Iblis inside Elise (who is unconscious) and tells Elise to always be happy and that if she ever cries, Iblis will be free. While this makes her backstory more impactful, it makes one wonder how was Elise able to not cry for ten years, especially after her father died.Before Shadow and Silver go back to the present, Silver gives the young and unconscious Elise the Blue Chaos Emerald, which could explain how Elise has the Chaos Emerald at the beginning of the game, but that's in Silver's story. In Shadow's story, if you look very closely at Silver's right hand as he heads into the portal, you can see the Blue Chaos Emerald is still in his hand. Oops!Blaze and Silver can call themselves "best friends", but there's a problem, Blaze completely forgot Sonic (you know, she learned friendship from him in Sonic Rush). Also, there's no explanation for how Blaze met Silver and became friends.Speaking of Blaze, she doesn't do anything useful throughout Silver's story, as she is shoehorned. While she supposedly acts as Silver's mentor, in terms of story contribution? Well aside from sacrificing herself to seal Iblis, she does very little to aid Silver on his quest and has very little input on anything. There are cutscenes where Silver is conversing with someone with Blaze just standing in the background looking pretty. The funniest part is that neither Silver nor the character he is talking to even acknowledge her presence.Also despite knowing Sonic, Blaze also never knew for the whole game to tell Silver that Sonic is not the bad guy.Speaking of the storyline, the game retcons itself at the end. This infuriated players because they had to endure this game for approximately 12 hours, only to be told it was all for nothing, most likely due to Sonic Team being aware that the game was unfinished.Next to no speed in a game franchise that is supposed to be fast-paced and full of fast characters. Even Sonic himself (you know, the fastest thing alive) runs relatively slow compared to the other entries in the series, and the stages where Sonic does run fast are nearly impossible to control.Those sections where Sonic runs fast are the Mach speed sections, sections where Sonic moves at lightning speed and must be controlled to avoid obstacles. The moving controls are inconsistent and oversensitive, Sonic normally moves forward by himself, but when he hits an item box in the air you suddenly need to move the left stick for him to move forward. It is also very difficult to avoid obstacles as the stage throws way too many things at you. Jumping in these sections is also extremely dangerous since it locks Sonic's movement while in the air. The Light Dash is more of a hindrance at times during these segments it can lead Sonic to run into hazards; you're better off not using it.A lot of puzzles in this game are rather broken and poorly designed. The two most infamous examples include:The billiard puzzle at the end of Silver's run through Dusty Desert, in which he needs to guide a large ball through an L-shaped corridor and into a hole at the end. The problem here is the physics; since nothing in the game has proper weight implementation, the ball will bounce uncontrollably with each hit, and the metal crates that are supposed to stop it from falling into the wrong holes are ineffective. Compounded by the fact that Silver can only bitch-slap or pull a Will Smith on the ball through the hallway (instead of, you know, grabbing it with psychokinesis) 9 times before it eventually explodes, and the fact that the ball itself is also on a time limit. It says a lot about this game when most players bypass this puzzle by exploiting the shoddy coding to glitch through the door using one of the boxes.In Shadow's Kingdom Valley level, Rouge tells you that you need three keys to open a door, similar to the hunting stages in the Adventure games. Only this time, you don't have a radar to help you find them and there are no hints, leaving you completely blind when looking for these keys (thankfully there's a glitch, which bypasses the entire puzzle).The Skill Gem power-ups were supposed to be timer-based, but due to incorrect naming in the code, the timers never run out, meaning you can use them indefinitely.All seven gems themselves are very broken, and they are:The blue gem gives you a burst of speed, which can be spammed infinitely to speed through levels.The red gem can be used to slow down time. This includes the level timer, making it easier to get high ranks.The green gem creates a tornado around Sonic, damaging everything close to him.The white gem allows Sonic to perform a more powerful and controllable homing attack.The sky blue gem makes Sonic throw a small gem, and wherever it lands, Sonic will zip toward that location. However its range is not unlimited, and it can accidentally launch Sonic off the stage.The yellow gem creates a yellow-colored thunder shield around Sonic, similar to the lightning/magnetic shield from older games. While it can only take one hit, nothing is preventing the player from simply making another one right after he gets hit.The purple emerald shrinks you down and gives you infinite jumps. Because the emerald powerups last forever, Sonic can skip huge chunks of his levels by jumping infinitely. This makes it the most broken emerald in the game.Speaking of upgrades, Shadow and Silver only get a fraction of the upgrades Sonic has:Shadow gets the Light Dash, and three Chaos powers, the Chaos Snap, Chaos Lance, and Chaos Blast, none of which are really that useful.Silver gets a pathetic Dash move that covers very little distance, a wider pickup radius, a Throw-All move that's self-explanatory, and a slam attack that stuns all enemies within range.While not as much as Shadow the Hedgehog, this game tries way too hard to take itself seriously. Some examples include:In the last story, Sonic gets killed by the main villain (albeit temporarily). His facial expression isnt helping either which makes the scene look unintentionally comedic.Crisis City, most notably being horribly out-of-place in Sonic universe due to its dark and gritty tone.Speaking of Crisis City, the Mach speed section at the end of the stage is the worst one of the lot; there are so many obstacles that are hard to avoid, plus you have to deal with debris being thrown at you from behind as well, with no indication of where it comes from. There are also moments where the camera spins around in front of Sonic, but the controls don't change to compensate for this new angle, making it feel disorienting.On that topic, the game's art direction received mixed reactions from fans since the more realistic people and settings clash with Sonic and the company's more cartoony aesthetics. It's very inconsistent, and while it was a running theme in other Sonic games like Sonic Adventure, and its sequel, Shadow the Hedgehog, and later Sonic Unleashed, those games at least had a cartoony appearance. In this game, however, it is very glaring with its mediocre models and more realistic environments.Eggman's realistic design was heavily panned for being incredibly disturbing and falling straight into the depths of Uncanny Valley since he was never meant to look realistic in the first place. Elise's design was also noted for being too pale and looking like a poor man's version of a character designed by Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts character designer, Tetsuya Nomura.Constant scripted events and autopilot sections in the levels. Often you can find yourself not pressing any button for over 20 seconds while the game plays itself (for example, you can beat the Shadow hang gliding sections without even touching a single button). Sonic's version of Tropical Jungle works the same way for the first 20 seconds of the stage.Nothing happens in Sonic's story. All of the important backstories of Princess Elise and Solaris are told in Shadow and Silver's stories. With Sonic (you know, the main character in the entire series), it's just the completely pointless scuffle with Dr. Eggman complete with Elise getting kidnapped five times. As such, they all have countless flaws with their characterization, mainly due to bad writing and retcons (as discussed above).Sonic's personality shifts from a cool hero with an attitude into most of the time a serious one with no humor. Also, Blaze and Knuckles (Despite being likable) both act out of character and don't serve any real purpose.Elise is by far one of the biggest "damsel in distress" characters in video game history (surpassing even Princess Peach of the Super Mario Bros. franchise, which is quite the accomplishment), since she gets kidnapped so often, it's ridiculous, which makes her feel like the Sonic embodiment of Don Bluth’s version of Thumbelina. She has the power of Iblis inside her, which is extremely powerful yet she rarely uses it (as it only triggers if she sheds a single tear, which in itself is incredibly stupid); making her a poor man's version of Jean Grey (only without becoming a strong female lead). That being said, the player can use the "Iblis Shield" in the levels that have Sonic carrying her around.Silver himself, while not as bad as Elise and still a good character, can be naive most of the time to the point where he gets duped by Mephiles quicklySpeaking of the mad doctor himself, this incarnation of Dr. Eggman is easily one of the worst incarnations of Eggman ever executed. His personality was completely watered down by taking away his iconic, comedic, and villainous charm and being reduced into a straightforward, typical, and predictably fallible antagonist because of being depicted as a very "serious" character (alongside Sonic) who doesn't do much in the story despite being an antagonist, all because of the game's clustered writing. He has little to nothing exactly enjoyable or notable to say about this incarnation of Eggman, which is carried to the point where his excessive levels of seriousness make Eggman rather boring, forgettable, unremarkable, bland, and generic than you'd expect.Painfully long and frequent loading times. The worst instance of this is when you do a side mission. First, you accept the mission, it loads, then the NPC explains what you must do, and it loads again, you finish the mission, it loads, the NPC praises/criticizes you, it loads. It takes four loading screens to do a side quest, sometimes the load screens will last longer than the side quests. The worst offender has to be "The Mathematician's Training", where Shadow has to answer math problems, of which there are six in total, and every single question has its loading screen, so that's eight loading screen you have to sit through for the mission.What's even worse is that there is a side quest in Shadow's story where you help a G.U.N. soldier, and it has only one loading screen. Why can't all of the levels be like this?It appears the primary reason for all the loading is that the overworld maps are modeled as finite-state machines: in other words, to change anything in a map, the game has to dump everything out of RAM, reload the base state of the map, then apply a state transition to it to create a specific state. This method is the most quick-and-dirty method of creating a functional loader and is probably a result of rushed development.In the Let's Play of the PS3 version for the Something Awful forums by pokecan, out of a 20:16:32 full runtime, 2:24:31 was loading screens. This amounts to almost 12% of the total playtime.The three main hedgehogs (Sonic, Shadow, and Silver) are buggy due to their controls and odd design choices for their gameplay:Sonic plays just as he did in previous games, but he doesn't run as fast, as he runs slower than Omega and Blaze, his Homing Attack has a pause between attacks, he can't jump while using the Spin Dash, and his Homing Attack has strange tracking, sometimes slinging past enemies instead of hitting them.Shadow's gameplay is similar to Sonic's, except he lacks the Spin Dash and his Homing Attack is more combat-based which is a bit polarizing, as you're just tapping the jump button until the enemy dies. He also has some Chaos powers which, while cool, are bland and can sometimes break.Silver's gameplay is using his psychokinesis. Think of the Stasis Field in Gravity Rush in that he can grab objects in the environment and fling them at enemies, only it's not very accurate, he can't aim his projectiles, they can simply bounce off the enemies about 40% of the time, and he can accidentally throw stuff into another one of the objects he's holding due to the poor spread. He can also grab enemy projectiles and throw those, and enemies themselves; however, Silver needs to stun them first by pimp-slapping them. Silver doesn't have any other means of attack in this game; he is completely dependent on his psychokinesis for defense. He is also much slower than Sonic, Shadow, and even Amy, so he can't avoid obstacles or enemies as easily.There are also six playable side characters (two for each hedgehog), but they are rarely used and are just as buggy as the main characters, if not worse. Knuckles and Rouge are arguably the buggiest characters in the game.Tails' gameplay is similar to that of Sonic Heroes (when he is on his own). He can fly, but his flight has too much forward momentum and he'll drop like a brick after a short period. He can attack enemies with Dummy Ring Bombs, which are slow, but effective against enemies. However, they create fake rings upon exploding, and if you take damage, there is no way to tell the difference between real and fake rings. Tails are also agonizingly slow on the ground to the point where one has to wonder how he can hover when he is moving that slowly.Rouge doesn't use hand-to-hand combat as she did in Sonic Adventure 2. Instead, she uses bombs, similar to Tails. She can throw 5 bombs at once making stronger enemies look like low-level mooks, but she can get stuck on walls when climbing.For E-123 Omega, he only has a pea shooter and homing missiles that sometimes work. His attacks also lack the impact that they had in Sonic Heroes. He also has a hover ability that can be easily exploited by mashing the jump button to skip certain parts of levels, and he is surprisingly fast for a robot.Knuckles is slow, has unnaturally heavy gliding, is hard to use, and has terrible combat with such poor hit detection that it's impossible to kill enemies quickly. Like Rouge, Knuckles can also get stuck on walls when climbing.Amy has reverted to her Sonic Adventure play style, which wasn't that good but it's much worse here; terrible ground speed, a delayed hammer swing, a double jump that gives extra height but kills forward momentum, and she can inexplicably turn invisible for some reason. She also can't even perform air attacks anymore.Blaze's gameplay style is similar to what she did in Sonic Rush, she runs faster than Sonic, her Homing Attack is quicker and flowing-free and her double jump is more functional than Amy's double jump, making her the most functional character in the entire game. However, she is only used three times, as she only has two playable segments and one full stage to herself and she has very little-to-no impact on the storyline whatsoever.Speaking of Elise, both Elise (mostly severe) and Silver (although not as severe as Elise) were poorly received. After Sonic '06, Elise has never been seen in any future Sonic games. Silver, on the other hand, had gained more popularity than Elise, becoming a side character in the franchise, appearing in the Sonic Rivals games, and having minor roles in the Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games series, Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, Sonic Generations, Sonic Forces and Team Sonic Racing. Silver usually gives people Sonic '06 flashbacks, which might be why he doesn't appear often.The NPCs look like uglier versions of the character models in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and they also have Sonic Adventure level animations. Also, they have fewer models compared to San Andreas, making NPC clumping a very common phenomenonIn Shadow the Hedgehog, Shadow can use vehicles at various points, but save for the few sections where they are mandatory like in White Acropolis, Kingdom Valley, and Radical Train, they aren't necessary and you can bypass using them with no penalty. It doesn't help that the vehicles (except for the Glider) control very poorly.The buggy is slow and handling is somewhat clunky, and you need it to complete White Acropolis by blowing up the searchlight towers.The bike is required to beat Radical Train, but the handling feels loose, and changing direction feels very haphazard.The Hovercraft is the most used vehicle, and is the worst one of the bunch; it feels very slippery to handle, and is used in the worst environments for it, those being:Kingdom Valley, where Shadow can be blindsided by collapsing pillars that will kill him on impact.Dusty Desert, where Shadow has to pass through rising gates to gain entrance to the ruins, but there's no reason to do this it just over-complicates things, and the terrain makes it easy to flip the Hovercraft over, which results in death.Wave Ocean is the tamest, due to calm waters and a straightforward path to the exit from the moment you mount the Hovercraft.The Glider functions as it should, but it is only used three times in short 30-second sections of stages.Most of the boss fights are poorly designed, with the three most infamous ones being Silver and Iblis' second phase. Silver can grab and throw you into a wall while saying his most infamous quotes: "It's no use!" followed by "Take this!" or "This will end it!" along with "How about this!?" in another form. This boss fight is also infamous due to a glitch where he can repeatedly throw you against a wall, without giving you any time to recover. When this happens, you keep unintentionally picking up at least one ring, so you're left stuck in an endless loop. Iblis' second phase is not as bad as Silver, but it's also infamous for being little more than a waiting game. You have to fight both bosses twice, once with Sonic, and again with Shadow.Silver doesn't fare any better; because he's slower, it is harder for him to avoid Sonic and Shadow's Homing Attacks. Sometimes, they'll hit Silver from the other end of the arena, and he can't grab them as easily since they'll immediately break free as if nothing happened, which is so bad because it doesn't work the other way around!Cheap enemy placements that give several enemies a chance to pop up out of nowhere and ambush you.The tenth and final stage (The End of the World) is one of the worst levels in the game, and one of the worst final levels in the entire franchise. It's painfully long, has seven separate loading screens that each lasting over 20 seconds, doesn't let you play as Sonic or Blaze (they are already dead in this segment keep in mind), forces players to deal with every other character's problems at once, is filled with poorly placed wormholes that are instant kills and starts you off with six lives. It's difficult to get more and if you get a game over, you have to do the whole level all over again! If you get hit by an enemy when next to these things you are left vulnerable, and to top it off, invincibility frames do not protect you from them!No autosave feature. For example, if you forget to save manually and get a game over on the first level, you have to start the whole game all over again from the opening cutscene as demonstrated by James Rolfe.The only upside to this is that unlike another game that relies on manual saves, this game at least prompts players to save after finishing a level.The PS3 version didn't get anything exclusive like the Xbox 360 version.The Xbox 360 version got the Team Attack Amigo, the Very Hard Missions DLC for all three Amigo characters (Tails, Omega, and Blaze) & boss attacks DLC for all three hedgehogs, while the PS3 version only has the Very Hard DLC in North America. Sadly, other DLCs for PS3 were only released in Europe and Asia.Background themes based on the game were released for the Xbox 360, but not the PS3.The PS3 version is slightly inferior to the Xbox 360 version despite having extra development time since it has slightly longer load times (25 seconds while the Xbox 360 version loads in 20 seconds) and has a worse framerate than the 360 version. There's also no way to install the game onto the hard drive to reduce those problems.The gameplay is extremely repetitive and boring, as some parts of the game are automated during mach-speed sections and nearly all of the levels are the same with many segments being repeated and overreliance on awful combat, which can make completing the game very tiring and monotonous after 3 hours when you've already reached the final boss and it's made worse by the lack of replay value mentioned below in WINU#36.You collect medals that are similar to the emblems in previous 3D Sonic games, only this time you get absolutely nothing when you get them all, once again, due to the game being rushed. All you can get from them is an achievement in the 360 version.From this game onwards, Sonic begins to lose his character development that had been maintained from Sonic Adventure.The game has a co-op mode where two players can race each other toward the end of a level of their choice, but it's extremely unbalanced because Sonic is much faster than Shadow and Silver. Silver is too slow, but he can freeze the other player infinitely, which allows the Silver player to curb-stomp the other player.The cutscenes look extremely awkward and choppy due to the awful character animations and poor lip-syncing since the mouths of the characters rarely move and the characters' movements feel like they are recorded in low-budget motion capture similar to Foodfight!, an infamous animated movie, which looks jarring and is out of place for the cartoony nature of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise since the series is known for having great cutscenes with expressive animations and beautiful graphics (even Rise of Lyric had amazing cutscenes despite the terrible graphics), something that this game is lacking, making the cutscenes uncomfortable to watch and ugly at best.As previously mentioned in WINU#27, the achievements are poorly written because they don't offer enough information on their requirements and have improper grammar. For example, to unlock the Blue Phantom achievement, you have to get all of the Skill Gems as Sonic. The description says "Super Sonic: Obtain the all moves".Worst case of all, while this has never been revealed, neither Sega nor Sonic Team has issued a traditional apology for the game, it's clear they're also okay with joking about the game's execution with fans. Even more so, they have clearly never bothered to release a single patch for both consoles, despite making changes and fixes with the DLC missions and even the re-release on the Greatest Hits collection which adds to how bizarre this whole game is. No patches were likely made because most of the game's problems were baked into its core concept.The title of the game can be confusing for newcomers, whether it's a remake or reboot.Little to no replay value. Unlike the previous Sonic games (yes even including Shadow the Hedgehog) where it has great replay value due to the levels being fun to repeat, this game doesn't live up to that value because of how unplayable it is and how forgettable is it due to the problems above.Many of the enemies and bosses have way too much health and it takes very long to drain their health bar when damaging them, and since many of them act like bullet sponges and are hard to take down as said above in WINU#22 and WINU#23, it makes the player feel underpowered and quite weak as the characters are unable to take advantage of the enemies and bosses with their attacks that are too weak to take them down, which makes the game feel even more annoying and frustrating than it already is.Many of the missions in the hub-worlds are extremely tedious and tend to be extremely annoying at best since they are often way too complicated and complex with zero objectives and some of them seem to drag on for too long, making some of them almost impossible due to most of them being badly-designed or just suffer from bad programming.One example is the mission where the captain of Soleanna Royal Guards, Pietro, wants the player to guess which one of the guards is the captain as a request for Sonic to enter Soleanna New City, but the main issue with this mission is that it's completely luck-based since when talking to the other guards, they have no clue who the captain is, which forces the player to talk to Pietro many more times and repeat talking to the other guards again, only for Pietro to reveal that he was the captain the whole time, which was not a good move on the developers part and nearly makes the game unbeatable and make this mission come off as a very badly-made prank from Sonic Team themselves.Overall, it's a disgrace to the franchise and nearly ruined the reputation of Sonic in general, since every game after this would receive mixed to negative reviews while there were games like Sonic Colors, Sonic Unleashed, and Sonic Mania were beloved by the fandom and praised by critics, it wasn't enough to recover from the damage caused by this game and it almost caused the franchise to go on hiatus due to the negative reception only for the game to sell well and Sega made more games in the series after that. Sega themselves actually hate the game itself and desperately try to ignore it in every way possible because of how infamous it is within the gaming community and Sonic fandom, and since the game has only been acknowledged in one level within Sonic Generations and in one episode of the recent Knuckles TV Show, and even made fun of it with Twitter accounts and even Lego Dimensions, which shows that this game has no impact upon the series and only has put a curse on the series that still hasn't gone away even to this day, which shows how incompetent Sega has become with the series nowadays thanks to this mess and explains why Sonic has become so hated these days.
==Redeeming Qualities==
Amazing music, especially the main theme, "His World" (probably one of the best video game themes ever made), and Silver's theme, "Dreams of an Absolution". Other standout tracks include the second half of Wave Ocean (A.K.A. The Inlet), the first halves of Radical Train and Flame Core, along Aquatic Base 1. Crush 40's cover of "All Hail Shadow" is also great too.Solaris Phase 2Most of the characterization is good:Shadow, Knuckles (despite him being out of character here), Tails, Amy, Rouge, and Omega (despite his poor voice) are still likable characters and have some of the best portrayals in this game, and unlike other characters, they weren't flanderized at all and still feel like the same characters they were in previous games.Despie his Flaws, Silver is a Good Character introduced here. He's a naive optimistic but desperate hero who wants to save the future.Mephiles is a decent villain who is different from other villains in the franchise, he does not show his plans unlike Robotnik (aka Eggman) or others, he manipulates people as it suits him, and he does not care about anything, and he just wants destruction and wants to destroy everything out of sheer hatred towards humanity. He was also the only villain to kill Sonic (albeit temporarily).Despite not aging well, the graphics look very nice (even though it looks way too realistic and out of place).Despite also feeling out-of-place, the opening cutscene is pretty awesome to watch along with the other CGI animation scenes.There still are a few good bosses here and there. The Egg Wyvern boss is a nice call back to the Egg Viper boss from Sonic Adventure.The Final Boss Solaris is good and is considered one of the best final bosses in any Sonic GameSpeaking of which, the game has a lot of callbacks to SA1, one being the Whale Chase scene from Emerald Coast.The story does have funny moments here and there: the possibly unintentionally hilarious scene where Shadow uses the power of Chaos Control to kick Silver in the back of the head is a stand-out example, along with the revelation that Eggman/Robotnik has robot glasses that always know where the Chaos Emeralds are.The level design is mostly solid, and the few issues have been fixed in Sonic P-06The story is mostly good it's just the few nonsensical moments in each of the stories that brings the story downThere are numerous good lines such as:"My, that's a pretty snazzy performance there!""Even if you believe everyone in the world will be against you... Know that I'll always remain by your side.""If the world chooses to become my enemy... I will fight like I always have!""The present day... The here and now that you've stolen... Time to take it back!"Despite what's mentioned in WINU#7, Blaze has good chemistry with Silver. Plus the ending where she sacrifices herself to get rid of Iblis once and for all is nothing short of saddening, despite her sacrifice being retconned due to the game's story erasing itself at the end.Some glitches in this game are very fun to use and watch; especially the floating box glitch.Some of the glitches can also be fun for some laughs.Your mileage may vary, but the gold medals can offer some degree of replay value; you get one for completing the stage as you would, one for completing the Hard mode, one for S ranking each difficulty, and one more for collecting 10 silver medals in each stage. Each story has three extra gold medals; one for finding 30 silver medals in the hub worlds in each story, one for S ranking all ACT stages, and one for S ranking all town missions. This can help you practice the stage and potentially discover new secrets you may have missed in the main route.Mike Pollock's performance as Dr. Eggman is still fantastic and easily one of the best parts of the entire game, as he still had a great time voicing the character and does a great job at playing the character and feels like he's trying with his performance. Jason Griffith as both Sonic and Shadow, Lisa Ortiz as Amy Rose, and Dan Green as Mephiles are also great as well and Pete Capella is at least good as Silver most of the time (excluding the annoying catchphrases).Blaze is the only functional playable character and is the best to play as.The Glider in Shadow's story is Decently Functional is is the only well sone Vehicle in Shadow's Story.It spawned a fan remaster which has the goal to correct as many flaws as possible, named Sonic P-06.The concept of this game is at least cool, despite the atrocious execution.If Sega had the time to finish the game and probably delayed the game to 2007, it would be a lot better (though it most likely would end up being in the "Average games" category).Despite all of the problems with the games, it can still be fun, especially if you enjoy playing bad games.Reception

The game at first was hyped, and fans had very high hopes for the game, with most of them expecting it to repair the damage Shadow the Hedgehog had done to the franchise. However, due to pressure from the Christmas rush and the PlayStation 3 launching, the game was released as a high-unplayable alpha build with little testing.
The game was a massive disappointment to fans and critics alike and is often considered the point at which the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise hit rock bottom. It is not only considered to be one of the worst Sonic games but also one of the worst video games of all time in general.
Somecallmejohnny played the game a lot of times, and he said that he did enjoy the game a bit. He even said that it's even more enjoyable than Shadow the Hedgehog.
ClementJ64 refused to make a Let's Play of it as it is his number one worst game he ever played, despite getting numerous requests from his fans, and instead, made a 7-part review criticizing the game in every single way possible as he and the game get worse in each part.
Sega delisted the game from retailers in 2010, following its decision to remove all Sonic games with below-average Metacritic scores to increase the value of the brand. Since the game was poorly received by critics and fans, the game was removed from the Xbox Marketplace and the PlayStation Store. Only the DLC remains in the stores. Despite this, Microsoft relisted the game on the Xbox 360 Marketplace on 24 May 2022 with no prior warning.
Legacy
A fan project is aiming to develop a build of the game for PC with all (or at least a significant number of) the gameplay problems and bugs fixed. ChaosX released the Sonic the Hedgehog P-06 demo (Project 06) on April 19, 2019. The video received 3,000 likes within one week.
TriviaSometimes during the Egg Wyvern boss, after playing for a couple of minutes, the boss suddenly stops and the screen goes to black, skipping the entire boss. You can get an easy S rank because of this.Sonic '06 is one of the few games that the port version released earlier than the original version. In this case, the Xbox 360 version, which is a port, despite being released earlier than the PlayStation 3 version. This is because Sega made a contract with Microsoft.Silver the Hedgehog's "It's no use" line became a meme.Many of Silver's gameplay mechanics were originally being developed for Fifth Phantom Saga, a first-person shooter project being developed by Sonic Team around the same time as a PlayStation 3 exclusive (it was even revealed as the first game running on that system at the E3 2005 showcase), but it was ultimately canceled.The development team was split halfway during the development, as one team worked on this game and the other team worked on the game Sonic and the Secret Rings for the Nintendo Wii.In 2010, SEGA delisted the game as a downloadable title from the Xbox Live Marketplace because they felt the game was harming the Sonic brand by being available for purchase, but was later relisted likely by complete accident on May 24, 2022, for a mere $5 (either that or Sega wanted to make a quick buck off those who either wanted to see how bad the game was or liked it ironically), where it's currently meeting a decent number of sales by Xbox 360 owners and the Sonic fanbase as we speak.A port of the game for PC was announced but was never released due to the terrible reception of the game. A Wii version was also in development but due to the Wii's limitations, it was reworked into Sonic and The Secret Rings.Silver's Theme Song "Dreams of an Absolution" is an unintentional remix of Green Hill Zone's theme music, and the songwriter said he didn't realize he had mixed the music into the song.There was a plan to allow players to obtain a gem and allow a player to be Super Sonic in regular gameplay stages, but the idea was dropped due to time constraints.This was the last game in the franchise to be produced by the franchise conceiver, Yuji Naka, who left midway through the project and was not credited for his involvement in the game's development. Immediately after leaving Sega and Sonic Team, he founded his own independent development company Prope, where he made games like Let's Tap, Ivy the Kiwi and Rodea the Sky Soldier. In 2018, he went on to join Square Enix where he directed the critical and financial disappointment that was Balan Wonderworld, and shortly after the release of Balan Wonderworld, he departed from Square Enix and returned to Prope, which was reduced to one employee, this time to work on simple smartphone games using the Unity engine, but it was then revealed by Naka himself that he was fired from the company before the game was released, resulting in him filling a lawsuit against them.There is constant debate over which game is worse, this (Sonic '06) or Balan Wonderworld.Like Sonic Adventure 2, SnapCube's fandub made this game popular for a little bit, while introducing more memes, such as Ke$ha: Die Young (marching band arrangement), "Ha ha, ha ONE!", "Tilted Towers", "Speak for yourself, motherf**ker!", "I'm not in the sky, dicknips!", "Welcome to my Gamer Pad!", "Prepare for my ultimate grand slam!", "Finally god, Take me!", "The audacites of this bitch..." and "Downloading weed.exe".Mephiles the Dark is the only villain in the entire series who successfully killed Sonic, albeit temporarily, since he was resurrected before the final boss with Solaris.This is the only main series Sonic game to have its story erased from history, due to Elise blowing out the Flame of Hope, erasing Solaris, Mephiles, and Iblis from existence and preventing the events of the game from ever happening, meaning the canonical timeline goes straight from Shadow the Hedgehog to Sonic Unleashed.The game traumatized SEGA even today, as they refuse to be connected to the game in any way, and even in certain mobile games you can't name your character Sonic 06 and if you did, the game will consider it a racial slur. The game is so infamous that they even banned you from naming your character after it in certain mobile games.

Sonic the Hedgehog (commonly referred to as Sonic '06) is a 2006 action-adventure platform video game in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, released as a celebration of the 15th anniversary of the series. Intended to be a reboot of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, it was developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega. It was released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3; ports intended for the Wii and Microsoft Windows were also in development, but the PC port was scrapped due to its development cycle, while the Wii port became Sonic and the Secret Rings due to the Wii's hardware limitations.
==Plot==
Dr. Eggman plans to revive an evil demon known as Iblis by kidnapping Princess Elise of Soleanna. However, in the future, Iblis has caused the end of the world, causing a hedgehog known as Silver to go back in time, believing Sonic is responsible for awakening Iblis. What no one knows is that they are all pawns of another demon known as Mephiles, who plans to unite with Iblis as both Iblis and Mephiles were once a single entity known as Solaris, the God of Time.
==Gameplay==
The game features three main playable characters (Sonic, Shadow, and Sliver) along with a plethora of playable side characters in a set of 3D platforming levels with a linear layout that are very similar to those from Sonic Adventure and it's sequel, Sonic Adventure 2, with some of them having different gimmicks like snowboarding and bike-riding in a few levels. There are also several hub-worlds with various missions that are meant to access some of the levels important to the game's story. All of the characters have their powers and abilities that are associated with them and are meant to be useful for taking out enemies and accessing areas in some levels more easily for players.
==Why the Game Was Rushed==
After the game was announced, the development faced serious problems, starting with Yuji Naka's resignation as head of Sonic Team to form his own company, Prope, as he became unhappy with his job as a manager in recent years and wanted to go back into programming games again. With his departure, "the heart and soul of Sonic" was gone, according to former Sega of America CEO Tom Kalinske. Sonic the Hedgehog was originally intended for release on all major seventh-generation consoles as well as Microsoft Windows, but when presented with development kits for Nintendo's less powerful Wii console, the team was split in two. Nakamura led one team to finish Sonic the Hedgehog for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 while producer Yojiro Ogawa led the other half to begin work on Sonic and the Secret Rings for the Wii. The split left an unusually small development team to work on Sonic the Hedgehog. So, Sega began pressuring the team to release the game by Christmas 2006, so with the deadline quickly approaching, Sonic Team rushed the final stages of development, ignoring existing bugs and design issues. Various planned features were dropped, such as a time of day and night mechanic similar to the one later implemented in Sonic Unleashed, and additional multiplayer components.
In retrospect, Ogawa noted that the final period proved to be a large challenge for the team. Not only was the Xbox 360 release imminent but the PlayStation 3 launch was scheduled not that long afterward. This put tremendous pressure on the team to develop both systems. Similarly, series producer Takashi Iizuka recalled, "We didn't have any time to polish and we were just churning out content as quick as we could."

==Why It's No Use!==
As stated above, the game was heavily rushed and had a terrible development cycle. Sonic Team didn't finish the game; instead, they took an untested alpha build. This predictably caused a great number of issues listed below. The manual lists items and features that aren't even in the game (Like an Xbox Live mode that never comes out in the game) and half of the achievements have grammatical errors. For example:You can't even jump on enemies to defeat them. You know, one of the most classic features in the entire franchise!This game also suffered from executive meddling.One of the main complaints about this game is that has lots of glitches and bugs, thanks to being rushed; many gimmicks are buggy, it's easy to glitch through walls, and sometimes the character model can disappear, you can get stuck on the rails, there are some areas without collision, etc.Poor controls and terrible cameras make the game frustratingly bad and more difficult, making it hard to jump through rings or drive a vehicle. It also makes the game unfairly difficult. Bad controls can cause cheap deaths. For example, in the first zone, there is a bridge below an item box that Sonic can get stuck on and die if you aren't moving the left stick after going on the ramp just before the bridge.Just a slight tilt of the analog stick is more than enough to turn your character 90 degrees.Due to improper physics implementation, moving on an incline doesn't feel any different from moving on a flat surface, characters come to an immediate stop upon release of the joystick, characters can stand upside-down on the ceilings of loops, and jumping feels very floaty. To add insult to injury, the game uses the Havok physics engine, which is known for awesome physics capabilities and was used in lots of awesome games like Half-Life 2, Far Cry 2 and F.E.A.R.The game also suffers from a terrible framerate; there are plenty of moments where the game drops into single-digit frames, almost of slideshow quality. It's pretty bad on Xbox 360, and even worse on PS3 (see WINU#27).Terrible and lackluster voice acting for pretty much everyone. Some of it doesn't match with the in-game dialogue textboxes and most of the characters have annoying catchphrases (especially Silver with his "IT'S NO USE" phrase), Pete Capella can get annoying as Silver at times, Lacey Chabert is whiny as Princess Elise, Kathleen Delaney as Rouge the Bat is once again dull and still unfitting and Maddie Blaustein as E-123 Omega is cringeworthy and unfitting to listen too and has the worst voice.The story is convoluted, messy, and downright riddled with plot holes to the point it's an older cousin of the Star Wars sequel trilogy. The reason for all of this is that this game was meant to be a series reboot; if that was the case, it would be fine, but for some strange reason, Sonic Generations (and later Sonic X Shadow Generations) treats it as canon with the rest of the series (albeit with a better stage and rival battle with Silver) (In fact, it introduced a huge continuity hole to the Modern Era timeline), so the massive retcons, inconsistencies, and plotholes can't be excused anymore and also introduces plot holes in the rest of the lore. Some examples include (but are not limited to):Sonic and his friends can time travel with the Chaos Emeralds. Why don't they just go back in time and extinguish The Flame Of Hope (aka Solaris) right away to prevent the end of the world?!Mephiles' plan doesn't make sense either. Why won't he just go back in time and merge with Iblis right away?In the scene where Shadow is sealing Mephiles in the staff, Mephiles says that one day he will escape and kill Shadow, which could explain how Mephiles knows Shadow when they first meet because Shadow was meant to stop Mephiles. However, Shadow was still sealed in the capsule in Prison Island at that time, so there was no way he could have stopped Mephiles in the first place.The aforementioned ability to time travel at will has no limitations or consequences. This game exemplifies why time travel is such a risky plot device because of how easy it is to cock up.During the scene when Shadow meets Mephiles, he introduces himself to him, however, when he meets Mephiles again, Shadow asks Mephiles how he knew his name. Does Shadow still have amnesia?Why did Shadow leave the Sceptre of Darkness behind? Even Silver questions this decision, mind you!Shadow works for G.U.N, which was the same organization that tried to kill him in the last game (the game's Expert Mode contains some dialogue that helps fill this in, but it's quite a far fetch).Before the Duke (Elise's father) dies, he seals Iblis inside Elise (who is unconscious) and tells Elise to always be happy and that if she ever cries, Iblis will be free. While this makes her backstory more impactful, it makes one wonder how was Elise able to not cry for ten years, especially after her father died.Before Shadow and Silver go back to the present, Silver gives the young and unconscious Elise the Blue Chaos Emerald, which could explain how Elise has the Chaos Emerald at the beginning of the game, but that's in Silver's story. In Shadow's story, if you look very closely at Silver's right hand as he heads into the portal, you can see the Blue Chaos Emerald is still in his hand. Oops!Blaze and Silver can call themselves "best friends", but there's a problem, Blaze completely forgot Sonic (you know, she learned friendship from him in Sonic Rush). Also, there's no explanation for how Blaze met Silver and became friends.Speaking of Blaze, she doesn't do anything useful throughout Silver's story, as she is shoehorned. While she supposedly acts as Silver's mentor, in terms of story contribution? Well aside from sacrificing herself to seal Iblis, she does very little to aid Silver on his quest and has very little input on anything. There are cutscenes where Silver is conversing with someone with Blaze just standing in the background looking pretty. The funniest part is that neither Silver nor the character he is talking to even acknowledge her presence.Also despite knowing Sonic, Blaze also never knew for the whole game to tell Silver that Sonic is not the bad guy.Speaking of the storyline, the game retcons itself at the end. This infuriated players because they had to endure this game for approximately 12 hours, only to be told it was all for nothing, most likely due to Sonic Team being aware that the game was unfinished.Next to no speed in a game franchise that is supposed to be fast-paced and full of fast characters. Even Sonic himself (you know, the fastest thing alive) runs relatively slow compared to the other entries in the series, and the stages where Sonic does run fast are nearly impossible to control.Those sections where Sonic runs fast are the Mach speed sections, sections where Sonic moves at lightning speed and must be controlled to avoid obstacles. The moving controls are inconsistent and oversensitive, Sonic normally moves forward by himself, but when he hits an item box in the air you suddenly need to move the left stick for him to move forward. It is also very difficult to avoid obstacles as the stage throws way too many things at you. Jumping in these sections is also extremely dangerous since it locks Sonic's movement while in the air. The Light Dash is more of a hindrance at times during these segments it can lead Sonic to run into hazards; you're better off not using it.A lot of puzzles in this game are rather broken and poorly designed. The two most infamous examples include:The billiard puzzle at the end of Silver's run through Dusty Desert, in which he needs to guide a large ball through an L-shaped corridor and into a hole at the end. The problem here is the physics; since nothing in the game has proper weight implementation, the ball will bounce uncontrollably with each hit, and the metal crates that are supposed to stop it from falling into the wrong holes are ineffective. Compounded by the fact that Silver can only bitch-slap or pull a Will Smith on the ball through the hallway (instead of, you know, grabbing it with psychokinesis) 9 times before it eventually explodes, and the fact that the ball itself is also on a time limit. It says a lot about this game when most players bypass this puzzle by exploiting the shoddy coding to glitch through the door using one of the boxes.In Shadow's Kingdom Valley level, Rouge tells you that you need three keys to open a door, similar to the hunting stages in the Adventure games. Only this time, you don't have a radar to help you find them and there are no hints, leaving you completely blind when looking for these keys (thankfully there's a glitch, which bypasses the entire puzzle).The Skill Gem power-ups were supposed to be timer-based, but due to incorrect naming in the code, the timers never run out, meaning you can use them indefinitely.All seven gems themselves are very broken, and they are:The blue gem gives you a burst of speed, which can be spammed infinitely to speed through levels.The red gem can be used to slow down time. This includes the level timer, making it easier to get high ranks.The green gem creates a tornado around Sonic, damaging everything close to him.The white gem allows Sonic to perform a more powerful and controllable homing attack.The sky blue gem makes Sonic throw a small gem, and wherever it lands, Sonic will zip toward that location. However its range is not unlimited, and it can accidentally launch Sonic off the stage.The yellow gem creates a yellow-colored thunder shield around Sonic, similar to the lightning/magnetic shield from older games. While it can only take one hit, nothing is preventing the player from simply making another one right after he gets hit.The purple emerald shrinks you down and gives you infinite jumps. Because the emerald powerups last forever, Sonic can skip huge chunks of his levels by jumping infinitely. This makes it the most broken emerald in the game.Speaking of upgrades, Shadow and Silver only get a fraction of the upgrades Sonic has:Shadow gets the Light Dash, and three Chaos powers, the Chaos Snap, Chaos Lance, and Chaos Blast, none of which are really that useful.Silver gets a pathetic Dash move that covers very little distance, a wider pickup radius, a Throw-All move that's self-explanatory, and a slam attack that stuns all enemies within range.While not as much as Shadow the Hedgehog, this game tries way too hard to take itself seriously. Some examples include:In the last story, Sonic gets killed by the main villain (albeit temporarily). His facial expression isnt helping either which makes the scene look unintentionally comedic.Crisis City, most notably being horribly out-of-place in Sonic universe due to its dark and gritty tone.Speaking of Crisis City, the Mach speed section at the end of the stage is the worst one of the lot; there are so many obstacles that are hard to avoid, plus you have to deal with debris being thrown at you from behind as well, with no indication of where it comes from. There are also moments where the camera spins around in front of Sonic, but the controls don't change to compensate for this new angle, making it feel disorienting.On that topic, the game's art direction received mixed reactions from fans since the more realistic people and settings clash with Sonic and the company's more cartoony aesthetics. It's very inconsistent, and while it was a running theme in other Sonic games like Sonic Adventure, and its sequel, Shadow the Hedgehog, and later Sonic Unleashed, those games at least had a cartoony appearance. In this game, however, it is very glaring with its mediocre models and more realistic environments.Eggman's realistic design was heavily panned for being incredibly disturbing and falling straight into the depths of Uncanny Valley since he was never meant to look realistic in the first place. Elise's design was also noted for being too pale and looking like a poor man's version of a character designed by Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts character designer, Tetsuya Nomura.Constant scripted events and autopilot sections in the levels. Often you can find yourself not pressing any button for over 20 seconds while the game plays itself (for example, you can beat the Shadow hang gliding sections without even touching a single button). Sonic's version of Tropical Jungle works the same way for the first 20 seconds of the stage.Nothing happens in Sonic's story. All of the important backstories of Princess Elise and Solaris are told in Shadow and Silver's stories. With Sonic (you know, the main character in the entire series), it's just the completely pointless scuffle with Dr. Eggman complete with Elise getting kidnapped five times. As such, they all have countless flaws with their characterization, mainly due to bad writing and retcons (as discussed above).Sonic's personality shifts from a cool hero with an attitude into most of the time a serious one with no humor. Also, Blaze and Knuckles (Despite being likable) both act out of character and don't serve any real purpose.Elise is by far one of the biggest "damsel in distress" characters in video game history (surpassing even Princess Peach of the Super Mario Bros. franchise, which is quite the accomplishment), since she gets kidnapped so often, it's ridiculous, which makes her feel like the Sonic embodiment of Don Bluth’s version of Thumbelina. She has the power of Iblis inside her, which is extremely powerful yet she rarely uses it (as it only triggers if she sheds a single tear, which in itself is incredibly stupid); making her a poor man's version of Jean Grey (only without becoming a strong female lead). That being said, the player can use the "Iblis Shield" in the levels that have Sonic carrying her around.Silver himself, while not as bad as Elise and still a good character, can be naive most of the time to the point where he gets duped by Mephiles quicklySpeaking of the mad doctor himself, this incarnation of Dr. Eggman is easily one of the worst incarnations of Eggman ever executed. His personality was completely watered down by taking away his iconic, comedic, and villainous charm and being reduced into a straightforward, typical, and predictably fallible antagonist because of being depicted as a very "serious" character (alongside Sonic) who doesn't do much in the story despite being an antagonist, all because of the game's clustered writing. He has little to nothing exactly enjoyable or notable to say about this incarnation of Eggman, which is carried to the point where his excessive levels of seriousness make Eggman rather boring, forgettable, unremarkable, bland, and generic than you'd expect.Painfully long and frequent loading times. The worst instance of this is when you do a side mission. First, you accept the mission, it loads, then the NPC explains what you must do, and it loads again, you finish the mission, it loads, the NPC praises/criticizes you, it loads. It takes four loading screens to do a side quest, sometimes the load screens will last longer than the side quests. The worst offender has to be "The Mathematician's Training", where Shadow has to answer math problems, of which there are six in total, and every single question has its loading screen, so that's eight loading screen you have to sit through for the mission.What's even worse is that there is a side quest in Shadow's story where you help a G.U.N. soldier, and it has only one loading screen. Why can't all of the levels be like this?It appears the primary reason for all the loading is that the overworld maps are modeled as finite-state machines: in other words, to change anything in a map, the game has to dump everything out of RAM, reload the base state of the map, then apply a state transition to it to create a specific state. This method is the most quick-and-dirty method of creating a functional loader and is probably a result of rushed development.In the Let's Play of the PS3 version for the Something Awful forums by pokecan, out of a 20:16:32 full runtime, 2:24:31 was loading screens. This amounts to almost 12% of the total playtime.The three main hedgehogs (Sonic, Shadow, and Silver) are buggy due to their controls and odd design choices for their gameplay:Sonic plays just as he did in previous games, but he doesn't run as fast, as he runs slower than Omega and Blaze, his Homing Attack has a pause between attacks, he can't jump while using the Spin Dash, and his Homing Attack has strange tracking, sometimes slinging past enemies instead of hitting them.Shadow's gameplay is similar to Sonic's, except he lacks the Spin Dash and his Homing Attack is more combat-based which is a bit polarizing, as you're just tapping the jump button until the enemy dies. He also has some Chaos powers which, while cool, are bland and can sometimes break.Silver's gameplay is using his psychokinesis. Think of the Stasis Field in Gravity Rush in that he can grab objects in the environment and fling them at enemies, only it's not very accurate, he can't aim his projectiles, they can simply bounce off the enemies about 40% of the time, and he can accidentally throw stuff into another one of the objects he's holding due to the poor spread. He can also grab enemy projectiles and throw those, and enemies themselves; however, Silver needs to stun them first by pimp-slapping them. Silver doesn't have any other means of attack in this game; he is completely dependent on his psychokinesis for defense. He is also much slower than Sonic, Shadow, and even Amy, so he can't avoid obstacles or enemies as easily.There are also six playable side characters (two for each hedgehog), but they are rarely used and are just as buggy as the main characters, if not worse. Knuckles and Rouge are arguably the buggiest characters in the game.Tails' gameplay is similar to that of Sonic Heroes (when he is on his own). He can fly, but his flight has too much forward momentum and he'll drop like a brick after a short period. He can attack enemies with Dummy Ring Bombs, which are slow, but effective against enemies. However, they create fake rings upon exploding, and if you take damage, there is no way to tell the difference between real and fake rings. Tails are also agonizingly slow on the ground to the point where one has to wonder how he can hover when he is moving that slowly.Rouge doesn't use hand-to-hand combat as she did in Sonic Adventure 2. Instead, she uses bombs, similar to Tails. She can throw 5 bombs at once making stronger enemies look like low-level mooks, but she can get stuck on walls when climbing.For E-123 Omega, he only has a pea shooter and homing missiles that sometimes work. His attacks also lack the impact that they had in Sonic Heroes. He also has a hover ability that can be easily exploited by mashing the jump button to skip certain parts of levels, and he is surprisingly fast for a robot.Knuckles is slow, has unnaturally heavy gliding, is hard to use, and has terrible combat with such poor hit detection that it's impossible to kill enemies quickly. Like Rouge, Knuckles can also get stuck on walls when climbing.Amy has reverted to her Sonic Adventure play style, which wasn't that good but it's much worse here; terrible ground speed, a delayed hammer swing, a double jump that gives extra height but kills forward momentum, and she can inexplicably turn invisible for some reason. She also can't even perform air attacks anymore.Blaze's gameplay style is similar to what she did in Sonic Rush, she runs faster than Sonic, her Homing Attack is quicker and flowing-free and her double jump is more functional than Amy's double jump, making her the most functional character in the entire game. However, she is only used three times, as she only has two playable segments and one full stage to herself and she has very little-to-no impact on the storyline whatsoever.Speaking of Elise, both Elise (mostly severe) and Silver (although not as severe as Elise) were poorly received. After Sonic '06, Elise has never been seen in any future Sonic games. Silver, on the other hand, had gained more popularity than Elise, becoming a side character in the franchise, appearing in the Sonic Rivals games, and having minor roles in the Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games series, Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, Sonic Generations, Sonic Forces and Team Sonic Racing. Silver usually gives people Sonic '06 flashbacks, which might be why he doesn't appear often.The NPCs look like uglier versions of the character models in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and they also have Sonic Adventure level animations. Also, they have fewer models compared to San Andreas, making NPC clumping a very common phenomenonIn Shadow the Hedgehog, Shadow can use vehicles at various points, but save for the few sections where they are mandatory like in White Acropolis, Kingdom Valley, and Radical Train, they aren't necessary and you can bypass using them with no penalty. It doesn't help that the vehicles (except for the Glider) control very poorly.The buggy is slow and handling is somewhat clunky, and you need it to complete White Acropolis by blowing up the searchlight towers.The bike is required to beat Radical Train, but the handling feels loose, and changing direction feels very haphazard.The Hovercraft is the most used vehicle, and is the worst one of the bunch; it feels very slippery to handle, and is used in the worst environments for it, those being:Kingdom Valley, where Shadow can be blindsided by collapsing pillars that will kill him on impact.Dusty Desert, where Shadow has to pass through rising gates to gain entrance to the ruins, but there's no reason to do this it just over-complicates things, and the terrain makes it easy to flip the Hovercraft over, which results in death.Wave Ocean is the tamest, due to calm waters and a straightforward path to the exit from the moment you mount the Hovercraft.The Glider functions as it should, but it is only used three times in short 30-second sections of stages.Most of the boss fights are poorly designed, with the three most infamous ones being Silver and Iblis' second phase. Silver can grab and throw you into a wall while saying his most infamous quotes: "It's no use!" followed by "Take this!" or "This will end it!" along with "How about this!?" in another form. This boss fight is also infamous due to a glitch where he can repeatedly throw you against a wall, without giving you any time to recover. When this happens, you keep unintentionally picking up at least one ring, so you're left stuck in an endless loop. Iblis' second phase is not as bad as Silver, but it's also infamous for being little more than a waiting game. You have to fight both bosses twice, once with Sonic, and again with Shadow.Silver doesn't fare any better; because he's slower, it is harder for him to avoid Sonic and Shadow's Homing Attacks. Sometimes, they'll hit Silver from the other end of the arena, and he can't grab them as easily since they'll immediately break free as if nothing happened, which is so bad because it doesn't work the other way around!Cheap enemy placements that give several enemies a chance to pop up out of nowhere and ambush you.The tenth and final stage (The End of the World) is one of the worst levels in the game, and one of the worst final levels in the entire franchise. It's painfully long, has seven separate loading screens that each lasting over 20 seconds, doesn't let you play as Sonic or Blaze (they are already dead in this segment keep in mind), forces players to deal with every other character's problems at once, is filled with poorly placed wormholes that are instant kills and starts you off with six lives. It's difficult to get more and if you get a game over, you have to do the whole level all over again! If you get hit by an enemy when next to these things you are left vulnerable, and to top it off, invincibility frames do not protect you from them!No autosave feature. For example, if you forget to save manually and get a game over on the first level, you have to start the whole game all over again from the opening cutscene as demonstrated by James Rolfe.The only upside to this is that unlike another game that relies on manual saves, this game at least prompts players to save after finishing a level.The PS3 version didn't get anything exclusive like the Xbox 360 version.The Xbox 360 version got the Team Attack Amigo, the Very Hard Missions DLC for all three Amigo characters (Tails, Omega, and Blaze) & boss attacks DLC for all three hedgehogs, while the PS3 version only has the Very Hard DLC in North America. Sadly, other DLCs for PS3 were only released in Europe and Asia.Background themes based on the game were released for the Xbox 360, but not the PS3.The PS3 version is slightly inferior to the Xbox 360 version despite having extra development time since it has slightly longer load times (25 seconds while the Xbox 360 version loads in 20 seconds) and has a worse framerate than the 360 version. There's also no way to install the game onto the hard drive to reduce those problems.The gameplay is extremely repetitive and boring, as some parts of the game are automated during mach-speed sections and nearly all of the levels are the same with many segments being repeated and overreliance on awful combat, which can make completing the game very tiring and monotonous after 3 hours when you've already reached the final boss and it's made worse by the lack of replay value mentioned below in WINU#36.You collect medals that are similar to the emblems in previous 3D Sonic games, only this time you get absolutely nothing when you get them all, once again, due to the game being rushed. All you can get from them is an achievement in the 360 version.From this game onwards, Sonic begins to lose his character development that had been maintained from Sonic Adventure.The game has a co-op mode where two players can race each other toward the end of a level of their choice, but it's extremely unbalanced because Sonic is much faster than Shadow and Silver. Silver is too slow, but he can freeze the other player infinitely, which allows the Silver player to curb-stomp the other player.The cutscenes look extremely awkward and choppy due to the awful character animations and poor lip-syncing since the mouths of the characters rarely move and the characters' movements feel like they are recorded in low-budget motion capture similar to Foodfight!, an infamous animated movie, which looks jarring and is out of place for the cartoony nature of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise since the series is known for having great cutscenes with expressive animations and beautiful graphics (even Rise of Lyric had amazing cutscenes despite the terrible graphics), something that this game is lacking, making the cutscenes uncomfortable to watch and ugly at best.As previously mentioned in WINU#27, the achievements are poorly written because they don't offer enough information on their requirements and have improper grammar. For example, to unlock the Blue Phantom achievement, you have to get all of the Skill Gems as Sonic. The description says "Super Sonic: Obtain the all moves".Worst case of all, while this has never been revealed, neither Sega nor Sonic Team has issued a traditional apology for the game, it's clear they're also okay with joking about the game's execution with fans. Even more so, they have clearly never bothered to release a single patch for both consoles, despite making changes and fixes with the DLC missions and even the re-release on the Greatest Hits collection which adds to how bizarre this whole game is. No patches were likely made because most of the game's problems were baked into its core concept.The title of the game can be confusing for newcomers, whether it's a remake or reboot.Little to no replay value. Unlike the previous Sonic games (yes even including Shadow the Hedgehog) where it has great replay value due to the levels being fun to repeat, this game doesn't live up to that value because of how unplayable it is and how forgettable is it due to the problems above.Many of the enemies and bosses have way too much health and it takes very long to drain their health bar when damaging them, and since many of them act like bullet sponges and are hard to take down as said above in WINU#22 and WINU#23, it makes the player feel underpowered and quite weak as the characters are unable to take advantage of the enemies and bosses with their attacks that are too weak to take them down, which makes the game feel even more annoying and frustrating than it already is.Many of the missions in the hub-worlds are extremely tedious and tend to be extremely annoying at best since they are often way too complicated and complex with zero objectives and some of them seem to drag on for too long, making some of them almost impossible due to most of them being badly-designed or just suffer from bad programming.One example is the mission where the captain of Soleanna Royal Guards, Pietro, wants the player to guess which one of the guards is the captain as a request for Sonic to enter Soleanna New City, but the main issue with this mission is that it's completely luck-based since when talking to the other guards, they have no clue who the captain is, which forces the player to talk to Pietro many more times and repeat talking to the other guards again, only for Pietro to reveal that he was the captain the whole time, which was not a good move on the developers part and nearly makes the game unbeatable and make this mission come off as a very badly-made prank from Sonic Team themselves.Overall, it's a disgrace to the franchise and nearly ruined the reputation of Sonic in general, since every game after this would receive mixed to negative reviews while there were games like Sonic Colors, Sonic Unleashed, and Sonic Mania were beloved by the fandom and praised by critics, it wasn't enough to recover from the damage caused by this game and it almost caused the franchise to go on hiatus due to the negative reception only for the game to sell well and Sega made more games in the series after that. Sega themselves actually hate the game itself and desperately try to ignore it in every way possible because of how infamous it is within the gaming community and Sonic fandom, and since the game has only been acknowledged in one level within Sonic Generations and in one episode of the recent Knuckles TV Show, and even made fun of it with Twitter accounts and even Lego Dimensions, which shows that this game has no impact upon the series and only has put a curse on the series that still hasn't gone away even to this day, which shows how incompetent Sega has become with the series nowadays thanks to this mess and explains why Sonic has become so hated these days.
==Redeeming Qualities==
Amazing music, especially the main theme, "His World" (probably one of the best video game themes ever made), and Silver's theme, "Dreams of an Absolution". Other standout tracks include the second half of Wave Ocean (A.K.A. The Inlet), the first halves of Radical Train and Flame Core, along Aquatic Base 1. Crush 40's cover of "All Hail Shadow" is also great too.Solaris Phase 2Most of the characterization is good:Shadow, Knuckles (despite him being out of character here), Tails, Amy, Rouge, and Omega (despite his poor voice) are still likable characters and have some of the best portrayals in this game, and unlike other characters, they weren't flanderized at all and still feel like the same characters they were in previous games.Despie his Flaws, Silver is a Good Character introduced here. He's a naive optimistic but desperate hero who wants to save the future.Mephiles is a decent villain who is different from other villains in the franchise, he does not show his plans unlike Robotnik (aka Eggman) or others, he manipulates people as it suits him, and he does not care about anything, and he just wants destruction and wants to destroy everything out of sheer hatred towards humanity. He was also the only villain to kill Sonic (albeit temporarily).Despite not aging well, the graphics look very nice (even though it looks way too realistic and out of place).Despite also feeling out-of-place, the opening cutscene is pretty awesome to watch along with the other CGI animation scenes.There still are a few good bosses here and there. The Egg Wyvern boss is a nice call back to the Egg Viper boss from Sonic Adventure.The Final Boss Solaris is good and is considered one of the best final bosses in any Sonic GameSpeaking of which, the game has a lot of callbacks to SA1, one being the Whale Chase scene from Emerald Coast.The story does have funny moments here and there: the possibly unintentionally hilarious scene where Shadow uses the power of Chaos Control to kick Silver in the back of the head is a stand-out example, along with the revelation that Eggman/Robotnik has robot glasses that always know where the Chaos Emeralds are.The level design is mostly solid, and the few issues have been fixed in Sonic P-06The story is mostly good it's just the few nonsensical moments in each of the stories that brings the story downThere are numerous good lines such as:"My, that's a pretty snazzy performance there!""Even if you believe everyone in the world will be against you... Know that I'll always remain by your side.""If the world chooses to become my enemy... I will fight like I always have!""The present day... The here and now that you've stolen... Time to take it back!"Despite what's mentioned in WINU#7, Blaze has good chemistry with Silver. Plus the ending where she sacrifices herself to get rid of Iblis once and for all is nothing short of saddening, despite her sacrifice being retconned due to the game's story erasing itself at the end.Some glitches in this game are very fun to use and watch; especially the floating box glitch.Some of the glitches can also be fun for some laughs.Your mileage may vary, but the gold medals can offer some degree of replay value; you get one for completing the stage as you would, one for completing the Hard mode, one for S ranking each difficulty, and one more for collecting 10 silver medals in each stage. Each story has three extra gold medals; one for finding 30 silver medals in the hub worlds in each story, one for S ranking all ACT stages, and one for S ranking all town missions. This can help you practice the stage and potentially discover new secrets you may have missed in the main route.Mike Pollock's performance as Dr. Eggman is still fantastic and easily one of the best parts of the entire game, as he still had a great time voicing the character and does a great job at playing the character and feels like he's trying with his performance. Jason Griffith as both Sonic and Shadow, Lisa Ortiz as Amy Rose, and Dan Green as Mephiles are also great as well and Pete Capella is at least good as Silver most of the time (excluding the annoying catchphrases).Blaze is the only functional playable character and is the best to play as.The Glider in Shadow's story is Decently Functional is is the only well sone Vehicle in Shadow's Story.It spawned a fan remaster which has the goal to correct as many flaws as possible, named Sonic P-06.The concept of this game is at least cool, despite the atrocious execution.If Sega had the time to finish the game and probably delayed the game to 2007, it would be a lot better (though it most likely would end up being in the "Average games" category).Despite all of the problems with the games, it can still be fun, especially if you enjoy playing bad games.Reception

The game at first was hyped, and fans had very high hopes for the game, with most of them expecting it to repair the damage Shadow the Hedgehog had done to the franchise. However, due to pressure from the Christmas rush and the PlayStation 3 launching, the game was released as a high-unplayable alpha build with little testing.
The game was a massive disappointment to fans and critics alike and is often considered the point at which the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise hit rock bottom. It is not only considered to be one of the worst Sonic games but also one of the worst video games of all time in general.
Somecallmejohnny played the game a lot of times, and he said that he did enjoy the game a bit. He even said that it's even more enjoyable than Shadow the Hedgehog.
ClementJ64 refused to make a Let's Play of it as it is his number one worst game he ever played, despite getting numerous requests from his fans, and instead, made a 7-part review criticizing the game in every single way possible as he and the game get worse in each part.
Sega delisted the game from retailers in 2010, following its decision to remove all Sonic games with below-average Metacritic scores to increase the value of the brand. Since the game was poorly received by critics and fans, the game was removed from the Xbox Marketplace and the PlayStation Store. Only the DLC remains in the stores. Despite this, Microsoft relisted the game on the Xbox 360 Marketplace on 24 May 2022 with no prior warning.
Legacy
A fan project is aiming to develop a build of the game for PC with all (or at least a significant number of) the gameplay problems and bugs fixed. ChaosX released the Sonic the Hedgehog P-06 demo (Project 06) on April 19, 2019. The video received 3,000 likes within one week.
TriviaSometimes during the Egg Wyvern boss, after playing for a couple of minutes, the boss suddenly stops and the screen goes to black, skipping the entire boss. You can get an easy S rank because of this.Sonic '06 is one of the few games that the port version released earlier than the original version. In this case, the Xbox 360 version, which is a port, despite being released earlier than the PlayStation 3 version. This is because Sega made a contract with Microsoft.Silver the Hedgehog's "It's no use" line became a meme.Many of Silver's gameplay mechanics were originally being developed for Fifth Phantom Saga, a first-person shooter project being developed by Sonic Team around the same time as a PlayStation 3 exclusive (it was even revealed as the first game running on that system at the E3 2005 showcase), but it was ultimately canceled.The development team was split halfway during the development, as one team worked on this game and the other team worked on the game Sonic and the Secret Rings for the Nintendo Wii.In 2010, SEGA delisted the game as a downloadable title from the Xbox Live Marketplace because they felt the game was harming the Sonic brand by being available for purchase, but was later relisted likely by complete accident on May 24, 2022, for a mere $5 (either that or Sega wanted to make a quick buck off those who either wanted to see how bad the game was or liked it ironically), where it's currently meeting a decent number of sales by Xbox 360 owners and the Sonic fanbase as we speak.A port of the game for PC was announced but was never released due to the terrible reception of the game. A Wii version was also in development but due to the Wii's limitations, it was reworked into Sonic and The Secret Rings.Silver's Theme Song "Dreams of an Absolution" is an unintentional remix of Green Hill Zone's theme music, and the songwriter said he didn't realize he had mixed the music into the song.There was a plan to allow players to obtain a gem and allow a player to be Super Sonic in regular gameplay stages, but the idea was dropped due to time constraints.This was the last game in the franchise to be produced by the franchise conceiver, Yuji Naka, who left midway through the project and was not credited for his involvement in the game's development. Immediately after leaving Sega and Sonic Team, he founded his own independent development company Prope, where he made games like Let's Tap, Ivy the Kiwi and Rodea the Sky Soldier. In 2018, he went on to join Square Enix where he directed the critical and financial disappointment that was Balan Wonderworld, and shortly after the release of Balan Wonderworld, he departed from Square Enix and returned to Prope, which was reduced to one employee, this time to work on simple smartphone games using the Unity engine, but it was then revealed by Naka himself that he was fired from the company before the game was released, resulting in him filling a lawsuit against them.There is constant debate over which game is worse, this (Sonic '06) or Balan Wonderworld.Like Sonic Adventure 2, SnapCube's fandub made this game popular for a little bit, while introducing more memes, such as Ke$ha: Die Young (marching band arrangement), "Ha ha, ha ONE!", "Tilted Towers", "Speak for yourself, motherf**ker!", "I'm not in the sky, dicknips!", "Welcome to my Gamer Pad!", "Prepare for my ultimate grand slam!", "Finally god, Take me!", "The audacites of this bitch..." and "Downloading weed.exe".Mephiles the Dark is the only villain in the entire series who successfully killed Sonic, albeit temporarily, since he was resurrected before the final boss with Solaris.This is the only main series Sonic game to have its story erased from history, due to Elise blowing out the Flame of Hope, erasing Solaris, Mephiles, and Iblis from existence and preventing the events of the game from ever happening, meaning the canonical timeline goes straight from Shadow the Hedgehog to Sonic Unleashed.The game traumatized SEGA even today, as they refuse to be connected to the game in any way, and even in certain mobile games you can't name your character Sonic 06 and if you did, the game will consider it a racial slur. The game is so infamous that they even banned you from naming your character after it in certain mobile games.

Ren & Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon" (a.k.a. Ren and Stimpy's All New Adult Party Cartoon) is an American animated television series created by John Kricfalusi and produced in 2003 by Spümcø. It aired on Spike in the summer of 2003. The series is a spin-off of the critically acclaimed Nickelodeon series The Ren & Stimpy Show. The series was not only Spümcø's last animated series before its closure in 2005 but also the last TV show that Kricfalusi ever made before his retirement in 2018 due to sexual misconduct allegations, as well as killing the Ren & Stimpy franchise and preventing the franchise getting a revival or a reboot until August 5, 2020, when ViacomCBS announced a Ren & Stimpy reboot for Comedy Central (one of three reboots for the network) without John Kricfalusi; a new creative team will be involved, though Billy West and a few of the original writers have been confirmed to return. Bob Camp was not involved in the said reboot as evidenced on Twitter. The series had six episodes, but only three aired on its network. The last three were later released on DVD on July 18, 2006. The show also lasted only two months in 2003 before being canceled due to negative reception.
==Why It's An EEDIOT!!!==
The idea of turning a show that was geared towards kids into an adult version sounded like a great idea on paper, in fact, the airing of "Man's Best Friend" proved that the show's ideas could've been like that episode, being an adult themed show, but not too forced and still enjoyable, unfortunately, this show subscribed to what it would become Season 8-present of Family Guy and Velma instead of something like Klasky Csupo's Duckman and Immigrants, DNA Productions' Nanna & Lil' Puss Puss, Samurai Jack's fifth season or any of Adult Swim or 20th Television Animation's shows like Rick and Morty, Futurama, Praise Petey, Metalocalpyse, Primal, King of the Hill, Duncanville, Bob's Burgers, Hazbin Hotel, Central Park, The Great North and The Simpsons, thanks to its poor writing.Adult Party Cartoon, despite being created by the same guy who created the original, mostly feels like a completely different show (minus Ren and Stimpy), and feels like a complete parody of its original concept and former self. The concept of Ren & Stimpy, in general, is that Ren & Stimpy has been a parody of the Golden Age of American Animation from 1928-1969. That concept is what made Ren & Stimpy also work. Here with APC, it's completely different given the fact (again) that this reboot makes Ren & Stimpy a grotesque parody of its former self, as well as its original concept.For this reason above, despite John Kricfalusi returning to work on this show for the first time since the original Ren & Stimpy's first two seasons, it flopped miserably and ended up canceling the series very quickly.To make matters worse, except for "Altruists", this show's episodes were originally written for Nickelodeon show which were rejected, so they were touched up to be as raunchy as possible without touching up anything of importance.This show is a testament to how John Kricfalusi shouldn't have been the only guy in charge with complete creative freedom.It sucks out the charm of the original 1991-1996 Nicktoon and ruined everything on how special Ren & Stimpy was on Nickelodeon.To be fair, similar to the golden era of Family Guy one of the main reasons that made the original Ren & Stimpy beloved by fans is how Nickelodeon's censorship and restrictions not only controlled its amount of adult and gross-out content, yet it encouraged the writers of the original Ren & Stimpy to be more creative with their comedic gags and story executions, like how in the episode "Rubber Nipple Salemen" from season 2 of the original show Nickelodeon only allowed the episode to mention the "nipples" joke rather sparingly while encouraging the writers to be creative in coming up with other jokes outside the use of "nipples" for the rest of the episode. But since Adult Party Cartoon is aimed at adults and therefore is unaffected by censorship unlike the original show, this resulted in the show losing its creativity in favor of the overuse of gross-out and raunchy humor without any network censorship interference whatsoever. Additionally, there are lot of swearing which was not a thing in the original series, while this can usually be used in a better way, here it feels forced.Like Popee the Performer, the fourth season onwards of The Loud House, the sixth to eighth seasons of SpongeBob SquarePants, and the Gene Deitch era of Tom and Jerry, it relies way too much on gratuitous over-the-top violence instead of slapstick, but it's cranked up to 11 here to the point that it makes even the most graphically violent of adult animation like Mr. Pickles and modern Family Guy seem nonviolent in comparison.Much like the original show, this show suffered the same Development hell issue, but worse, to the extent of John pulling the episode back from airing just to touch up some more and add more content, because of this, the last 3 episodes couldn't air because of how bloated they turned out.The humor is nothing more than absurd shock value and constant gross-out humor that is far too violent, cruel, vulgar, disturbing, and disgusting even for its intended adult audience. In terms of the gross-out humor, it's used continuously to almost no end and it never gets a break. What's worse is that, even for adult animation standards, this show relies more on gratuitous over the top violence instead of slapstick, which is something that the original Ren and Stimpy didn't even have in the first place. Sure it sometimes goes too far in all the seasons of Ren and Stimpy (even seasons 3-5), but not to this extent.With the sole exception of "Ren Seeks Help", the episodes of this show are nothing more than a bunch of unfunny jokes with no setup or punchline, with obnoxious and loud cartoon sound effects, Altruists being the biggest offenders. While Ren and Stimpy aren't exactly known for its plot, even its episodic plots are nonsensical and come off as an excuse to make jokes John thought were funny.With the sole exception of "Ren Seeks Help", while the animation is still fluid, but subdued in other episodes, and in some instances, some scenes have a dialogue and the character's mouth not moving, also, some scenes were lazily animated like one of the girls in "Naked Beach Frenzy" did not have any animation of turning left and right, only mirrored, Ren's dancing in the flute dance also had Ren moving his arms in 2 frames and also only mirrored without any animation.The characters, while they do look like the original show, their designs are different and a nightmare for the animators to replicate.Episodes like "Stimpy's Pregnant" and "Fire Dogs 2" contain false advertising and misleading titles at the same time because in "Stimpy's Pregnant", Stimpy actually isn't pregnant, he is just constipated and they had to have him bring out the poop baby anyway just for the sake of it. "Fire Dogs 2" had nothing to do with the first "Fire Dogs", it had nothing, but pointless filler and focused more on a character who is an obese unfunny version of Fireman Sam who makes Homer Simpson look like a railway engine driver.Although the theme song is catchy, it reuses the same intro as the original 1991 show without any attempts at changing the animation except the title card, which is incredibly lazy and uncreative, and the theme song is somewhat pitched up. In addition, it is misleading for the most part, as it deceives viewers into watching the original Ren & Stimpy when it is Ren & Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon".The Slapstick went from clever and funny to mean-spirited and cruel, the biggest example being Ren endlessly beating Stimpy for no reason.The titular duo was massively flanderized beyond recognition. Ren becomes more bitter, abusive, and violent and does not care for his best friend Stimpy, similarly, Stimpy has become more stupid and became a doormat for Ren's abuse, which is cringe to watch.Ren suffers the ABSOLUTE WORST flanderization and character derailment of all the characters of Ren & Stimpy, as he is portrayed as a monstrous, unpleasant, and psychopathic moron who tormented animals and bugs in his childhood to inflict pain on others, he murdered his therapist after being called crazy, acted like a mindless pervert to bimbo women with no good qualities, has shown no reasons why he is scary and cruel like how he had his right reasons to act the way that he was in the old show, and seemed to care a lot less about Stimpy. This is an example of doing a sour-tempered character backward.Speaking of Ren, the episode Ren Seeks Help, has been considered one of the worst episodes in cartoon history because it portrays Ren as a tormentor who murders and harms helpless animals for his pleasure (as mentioned above). There was no reason for Ren to act the way he is other than for shock humor, but in the old show, he had his right reasons to be scary and cruel because of the way he is, and in Adult Party Cartoon, it was done all backward. Ren is portrayed even more crueler and unfunny as it is as of Ren Seeks Help. Why did Matthieu Cousin and Butch Hartman ruin Ren's character? No seriously, what have they done?Stimpy, who was portrayed as ditzy, dumb, and happy-go-lucky in the original series, now he is now portrayed as a stereotypical gay character who is a huge doormat and punching bag for Ren for no reason, and acts extremely stupid to the point that it's more irritating and frustrating than funny, does pointless things to show how effeminate he is, and served no purpose to the show whatsoever.In some episodes, the actors would improvise their lines outside of lip-sync (in the tradition of the Fleischer Popeye shorts), which can look off-putting for fans of the original series.Many cruel moments are hard to stomach, such as the animal abuse scenes. This show takes the violence and horrid slapstick of The dark age of Tom and Jerry and amplifies it to eleven, in addition to the fluid animation, these moments are even more cruel.Many things in this show make no sense even by Ren and Stimpy standards.The widow's headless son, while he looks disturbing, is a subverted trope of faceless characters.Stimpy developing female features in "Stimpy's Pregnant", despite him being male.Plucky Duck having sex with Stimpy disguised as a female duck, giving birth to 3 cat/duck hybrids, which doesn't make any sense, as duck and cat DNAs are too different.Furless Stimpy looks less like a cat, and more of an uncanny human-cat hybrid, this is even more obvious in "Onward and Upward" when Ren punches him causing his bulbous nose to fall out and reveal a human nose in addition to human ears. While he did remove his nose occasionally in the original show and Altruists to reveal an empty spot, the human nose makes zero sense.The entirety of the episode "Stimpy's Pregnant", is about Stimpy, a male cat, literally getting pregnant with a poop baby and even gender-swaps himself from male to female because of it.In Altruists, a duck has sex with Stimpy while Stimpy pretends to be a female duck. And Stimpy, for some reason, gives birth to three duck and cat hybrids.In Ren Seeks Help, Ren somewhat screeches like a cat while killing Mr. Horse, even though he's a chihuahua.None of the recurring characters from the original show (save for the titular characters, Mr. Horse, Mr. and Mrs. Pipe, and the Fire Chief) such as Mr. Announcer Salesman, Muddy Mudskipper, Sven Hoek, and Powdered Toast Man make an appearance in this series. Not even George Liquor, a character John Kricfalusi uses in most of his projects.In some episodes, the actors would improvise their lines outside of lip-sync (in the tradition of the Fleischer Popeye shorts), which can look off-putting to fans of the original series.The infamous "Naked Beach Frenzy" is the worst in terms of content and "Altruists" in terms of pacing, while the latter did not have as much content and only is bloated because of the random jokes John K thought were funny, the former depicts one of John K's victims as one of the girls you're supposed to gaze on, which is borderline creepy and disturbing.Both episodes feature porn scenes disguised as jokes, while the gay sex in "Onward and Upward" was somewhat clever, in "Naked Beach Frenzy", there's the Shampoo Master with a faucet on his crotch, spilling white Shampoo to make it look like it's semen, also Ren putting towels on his aroused boner. In "Altruists", the infamous scene of Ren sawing a log on Stimpy's butt with a saw strapped to his crotch to simulate anal sex.There is a massive over-usage of stock sound effects (particularly from Hanna-Barbera) which are even often used at inappropriate times, unlike the original show. They sound weird too, like the pizza-eating one for example.Misleading title and false advertising: The word "party" in the title makes no sense as there is no indication that this show is made for adult parties and you could very well see it at any time. In the series' title card, you see a martini glass, a box of cigarettes, and a sentient condom and you will think they are characters from the series, but they are nowhere to be seen. Most likely the reason they are on the title card is to show that this is an adult cartoon, but then there are no martini and condom scenes in any of the episodes.Awful and unfunny episode ideas, patched up with ignorant jokes in some of them.Lots of scenes are drawn out and go on for way too long to the point that they often come off as nothing more than unneeded filler in general, like the toilet scenes in Fire Dogs 2 and some jokes in Altruists, for example.There are some jokes in some episodes that might seem boring or bad at first glance, but since most of them are references to John Kricfalusi's act of grooming minors, they come off as disgusting and disturbing. (I.e Ren bragging about how he impregnated Stimpy In "Stimpy's Pregnant", alluding to John impregnating Robyn Byrd when they had sex back in the Nickelodeon era, one of the girls in Naked Beach Frenzy is modeled after Katie Rice, even voiced by Katie Rice....)To make matters worse, the unproduced The Succubus episode, was supposed to portray Ren and Stimpy as John and Byrd respectively, in an attempt to get her to come back to him, the outlines themselves were atrocious and disgusting.According to Anne Marie, there was going to be a scene in Stimpy's pregnancy where Stimpy would coerce Ren into BDSM sex, ultimately, such a scene never ended up in production. [1]While Ren beats up Stimpy for his stupidity in the original show, it was funny, here, he just beats Stimpy for no reason, with the only instance in one episode where it felt like the original show, "Fire Dogs 2" was the biggest offense.This show overall killed the franchise, that is till 2024 when the series got rebooted by Comedy Central.Even John Kricfalusi didn't like this show as well since, in several interviews, he mentioned that while he does like the freedom that this show had due to lack of censorship, he was also just as disappointed as the others since he thought that the pacing is not good as well.This is also the show that killed its studio as Spümcø filed for bankruptcy after this show was canned, and did not receive any financial compensation from Spike TV as John Kricfalusi completely exhausted the allocated budget.This show completely vanished from mainstream TV after several reruns on Spike TV following its cancellation.
=="Happy Happy Joy Joy!" Qualities==
At least the original series creator, John Kricfalusi despite being a horrible person, was involved, despite this show being different from the original series as mentioned above.After the series cancellation, John Kricfalusi was no longer involved with the Ren & Stimpy franchise, with a reboot currently in development as of 2024, which might be a slight improvement.The voice acting was decent despite how bad the show was. Eric Bauza's performance as Stimpy was good (when he's not crying, at least), and sounded pretty close to his old voice actor, Billy West. John Kricfalusi reprises his role as Ren and still does a good job voicing Ren.A handful of jokes were kinda funny, like "You're the pitcher, I'm the catcher!" in Onward and Upward.Thanks to the series being animated by Carbunkle Cartoons and Big Star Enterprises as well as Bob Jaques who is the animation director, the animation is still very detailed and fluid-like in the original.Mr. Horse, like in the original show, is a great character and is probably the only character in the series who was consistently good.He says what we've been all thinking about the show: "YOU NEED TO BE LOCKED UP, AWAY FROM DECENT NORMAL PEOPLE! WHAT KIND OF A LUNATIC ARE YOU?! YOU JUST WALK UP TO STRANGERS IN THE STREETS AND TELL THEM 'HEY MISTER, YOU WANNA HEAR SICK STORIES OF MY TWISTED YOUTH??'"Some of the other characters from the original show also returned such as Mr. and Mrs. Pipe in Altruists and Stinky in a brief cameo in Stimpy's Pregnant.Stimpy is a bit likable and is the most tolerable of the main duo.A few good scenes:The flute dance Tiger Rag from Fire Dogs 2 was entertaining and the only thing about Adult Party Cartoon that is memorable and passable and it also become the taunt for Ren and Stimpy in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl (Although the devs did state that it was unintentional).The scene in Fire Dogs 2 when Ralph Bakshi wakes up and it cuts to the realistic close up and then he yells: "AHHHHH!!!!! CIRCUS MIDGETS!!!! THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!"The scene at the beginning of Altruists where Ren beats up Stimpy felt pretty close to the old show.Ren remembering the first time meeting Stimpy was charming, but decent as said in Ren Seeks Help."PSYCHOLIGIST? ARE YOU NUTS?! I'M A HOOOOORSE!", and then another slapstick segment of Mr. Horse beating up Ren (he deserved it) for a little bit, which also felt pretty close to the old show.The theme song from the original series is still for a lot of people catchy and makes a comeback."Ren Seeks Help", while it's not good, and it's a bit disturbing, is still better than the non-Man's Best Friend episodes since it has a plot and it doesn't drag too much with unnecessary jokes, while Altruistrs had an interesting idea, it was butchered in the execution.There are 2 good episodes found in the show, but only if you count Man's Best Friend and the first "Fire Dogs".This show at least has well-designed title cards, except for Fire Dogs 2 and Ren Seeks Help.Despite being a huge departure from its original series, it is somewhat faithful to the source material, unlike other certain reboots.Despite being an awful reboot, it is nice to see another Ren and Stimpy-related media after 7 years.Despite its flaws, the 2024 reboot, is a major improvement over this one as mentioned in RQ# 1.
==The Entire Series==
(Unless "Man's Best Friend" & "Fire Dogs" Count as Episodes of This Show)"Onward and Upward" (which started the series horrendously)"Ren Seeks Help" (probably the most infamous; though not the worst)"Fire Dogs 2""Naked Beach Frenzy" (arguably the worst episode of the show)"Altruists""Stimpy's Pregnant" (which unsurprisingly, ended the series terribly)
==Canceled episodes"==
Life Sucks" - Ren explains to Stimpy that life sucks, much to Stimpy's horror. After that, they look extensively at life's past tragedies like the Children's Crusade. According to John Kricfalusi himself, this was meant to be a prequel episode to Ren Seeks Help. This suggests that this episode was the cause of Ren and Stimpy's argument, as it is never stated in Ren Seeks Help what Ren had done exactly. Production had begun on this episode, with some voice work and roughly a third of the storyboard completed at the time of the show's cancellation. This episode was also originally written for Nickelodeon.[2]"The Big Switch" - The supposed sequel to Ren Seeks Help, with it beginning with Stimpy no longer being tolerated by Ren's abuse as the two argue over which is better by being an idiot or a "psychotic asshole". They finally settle the argument by making a bet that they can switch roles for a day. The episode's basic premise would somewhat be loosely made into the Games Animation era episode, Who's Stupid Now?."Fishing Trip" - Ren & Stimpy go on a fishing trip in search of the elusive foul-mouthed bass. The episode's basic premise is loosely related to the season 3 episode Bass Masters and the unproduced Spümcø episode The Wilderness Adventure."The Wilderness Adventure" - George Liquor takes Ren & Stimpy hunting in the deep woods. The episode was originally written for Nickelodeon but was rejected several times. Michael Pataki was made to reprise his role as George Liquor. The storyboard for the rejected episode, however, was completed back in the 90s, as far as before the show started production, as one of the ideas would later used in the Season 2 episode The Great Outdoors. Two small portions of some of the storyboards of this episode had some voice work, sound effects, and music completed and put into part of the episode before the show's cancellation. [3] [4] [5]"My Little Ass" - A fake commercial that was supposed to be parody the series, My Little Pony. The script for the commercial was written when Kricfalusi was working on the new episodes for Spike, but it never came to fruition. (Source: John K. Interview - 08/19/03, WGN Radio) [6]"Powdered Toastman's Rolling Tobacco" - A second fake commercial. The commercial was going to mark the return of Powdered Toastman. The idea for the commercial was conceived, but the commercial itself was never fully produced. (Source: John K. Interview - 08/19/03, WGN Radio) [7]"Log for Moms" - A third fake commercial. This commercial was possibly going to be about a log specifically targeted to mothers. This commercial was planned, but it was never completed. [8]"The Succubus" - The plot of this episode was going to be based on some of Kricfalusi's experiences with Robyn Byrd. [9]"Untitled Shampoo Master Episode" - The character named Shampoo Master first appeared in Naked Beach Frenzy, and Kricfalusi was planning on making an entire episode dedicated to him. [10]"Untitled Mike Barrier Episode" - An episode about Mike Barrier's interests and fears that was planned to be made, though it never began production. [11]"Untitled Father Episode" - Another episode was going to be about the specific tastes and phobias of someone, this time being Kricfalusi's father. The episode was left unfinished. [12]Reception
Ren & Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon" was universally panned by critics, audiences and longtime Ren and Stimpy fans. It currently sits at 5.5/10 on IMDb. According to Wikipedia, Ren & Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon" has been listed as one of the worst TV shows of all time. PhantomStrider despises this cartoon and considers it to be the worst. Billy West (Stimpy's voice actor) rejected the series, calling it the worst thing that he had ever seen. Ren Seeks Help is heavily despised by the majority of the fans of the original series.
This show ruined both the reputations of Ren & Stimpy and Kricfalusi, because of the poor reviews that "Adult Party Cartoon" received, and the reason why Ren & Stimpy didn't come back for their animated movie to Nickelodeon nor were even set to appear in the canceled Nicktoons movie. Paramount Pictures, one of the subsidiaries of Paramount Global, also rejected a proposed theatrical short for Ren & Stimpy in the Spring of 2017, because they refused to let Nickelodeon do anything with the franchise. This show botched Spümcø, the studio that created Ren and Stimpy for Nickelodeon shutting down in 2005, due to Carbunkle Cartoons' lawsuit against Spümcø.
On January 28, 2020, a crowdfunded documentary about the original show and Kricfalusi called Happy Happy Joy Joy: The Ren & Stimpy Story, was released at the Sundance Film Festival and was released both theatrically and video-on-demand on August 14, 2020. The documentary has no involvement from Nickelodeon and ViacomCBS, but they were credited in the documentary's end credits under "Special Thanks".
On August 5, 2020, ViacomCBS announced a reboot of Ren & Stimpy produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studios for Comedy Central without the involvement of Kricfalusi; according to Variety, he will not have financial remuneration or creative input from the reboot, due to his allegations in 2018. This caused various fans and people who worked in the original show, including Cheryl Chase, to speak out against the idea (due to Bob Camp not being involved with the reboot), while various animators also disliked the idea of rebooting existing franchises, instead of studios greenlighting their original ideas. One of the two victims of John Kricfalusi, Robyn Byrd, made a petition on Change to urging ViacomCBS cancel the reboot on Comedy Central, as according to her, it would "cause trauma and endanger fans and crew members who worked in the original series". Despite the petition (which failed, mainly because of inaccurate information against the reboot that the petition has) and negative reaction to the reboot's announcement, mainly from the animation industry, according to Billy West, the reboot is still happening, but development was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
TriviaThe show was so bad that Billy West, Stimpy's original voice actor (as well as Ren's actor for some of Seasons 2 and Seasons 3-5), refused to work on the show saying that it would ruin his career and he called it one of the worst things that he's ever seen. He later stated in a tweet his reason for not doing the show was he did not want to work with Kricfalusi,[13] but wished all the luck in the world to him in "APC". [14] As a result, he was replaced by Eric Bauza.Because West refused to voice Stimpy again in "Adult Party Cartoon", some people auditioned to voice Stimpy in "APC" before Bauza took over the role as Stimpy. One of these people who auditioned to take the role of Stimpy was the late voice actor Joe Alaskey, who came close to Billy West's voice, but his voice was a bit too deep for Stimpy.[15]While this show was hated by Ren and Stimpy fans, old and new, this show, for unknown reasons, had stronger fanbases in Eastern Europe (mostly in Poland).Billy West also predicted the show would get canceled, and a couple of days later the prediction came true.While the last three episodes Naked Beach Frenzy, Altruists, and Stimpy's Pregnant didn't air on American television, they aired in other countries and continents like Latin America (MTV), Brazil (Multishow and VH1), Russia (2x2), Poland (MTV), and Italy (Fox), while in America they were only released in The Lost Episodes DVD in 2006.A petition was made by the now defunct Ren & Stimpy forum, The Members of the Loyal Order of Stupids (aka MOTLOS) in 2003 on the also now defunct petition website, PetitionOnline, in the wake of saving "Adult Party Cartoon" for getting cancelled and be renewed for a second season.[16]People who worked on the show such as Richard Pursel stated that they hated working on the show and working with Kricfalusi.Richard Pursel (one of the writers) later works on SpongeBob SquarePants in Season 5 for his first episode "Fungus Among Us".The show was originally going to have nine episodes. However, due to similar issues with production at Nickelodeon, only six episodes ended up being produced, with Spike declining to renew the series.All the episodes except Altruists were originally planned to be released as episodes of the original show. This includes the canceled episodes too.Butch Hartman (the uncredited writer) is the creator of The Fairly OddParentsReferences

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is a roguelike game released in 2014, designed by Edmund McMillen, developed and published by Nicalis. It is a remake of The Binding of Isaac.
==Plot==
Isaac and his religious mother lived alone on a small house on a hill. One day, while Isaac’s mom is watching Christian broadcasts on her TV when she hears the voice of “God”. The voice says that Isaac is filled with sin and that he needs to be saved, so Mom takes away all of Isaac’s toys and clothes. The voice calls to her a second time and tells her to lock Isaac away from the evils of the world, so she locks him in his room. The voice calls to Mom one more time, telling her to sacrifice Isaac to prove her devotion to God. As Mom grabs a butcher’s knife from the kitchen and heads to his room, Isaac finds a trapdoor under the rug under his bed. Panicking, Isaac jumps down the trapdoor and falls down into the monster-filled basement below.
==Why It's the Platinum God==
Tons of replay value thanks to everything being randomly generated making the game very addicting.Tons of fun and unique items.Brimstone lets Isaac shoot a red laser from his mouth. It's powerful, but it reduces Isaac's tears stat.Ipecac lets Isaac lob green, explosive balls. But the lowered tears stat is not the only concern. The tears' explosions can hurt Isaac.Fetus in a Jar and Epic Fetus let Isaac shoot bombs and rockets respectively. They synergize with Isaac's bomb effects.The Wafer lets Isaac only take one half heart of damage from most sources of damage.The Bible not only grants flight, it can also defeat Mom and Mom's Heart/It Lives.The soundtrack by Ridiculon, while not as charming as Danny Baranowsky's soundtrack for the original game, is good.Multiple playable characters with differing stats and abilities.Isaac, while not feeling special at first, can start with a D6 (if unlocked) that lets him reroll items. Good for when you don't like the item shown on a pedestal.Magdalene has 4 hearts compared to Isaac's 3, and she starts with the "Yum Heart!" item heals her by one whole heart.Cain starts with Lucky Foot which adds +1 to the luck stat and increases his chance of winning from things like Beggars and Slot Machines.Judas starts with Book of Belial. This item increases his damage stat for one room.??? is a character with slightly better stats than Isaac. It cannot have Red Hearts; health up items just add Soul Hearts to the 3 Soul Hearts it already starts with. Starts with an item that summons a pile of poop.Eve starts with Whore of Babylon and Dead Bird. These items activate when she takes damage and when she has at most one red heart respectively.Samson has Bloody Lust. The more damage Samson takes, the more damage he deals. This lasts for the current floor.Azazel can fly and shoots a short-range Brimstone. Starts with 3 Black Hearts.Lazarus starts with an extra life. If he dies, he'll come back as Lazarus Risen, with greater stats.Eden is random. Random stats, random items and random look.Even if the pixel-art graphics have a different feel compared to the original game, the graphics are not only drawn well, they were also with multiple redesigns in Repentance.Devil Rooms that have a higher chance of appearing if you take no red heart damage on a floor encouraging cautious play, and so do Angel Rooms.Devil Deals where you can give up health for powerful items, and Angel Rooms where you can fight a boss by blowing up the statue.Multiple cool final bosses that feel unique, such as Mom, as her fight is in a room with 4 doors, and you have to avoid both what comes out of the doors and her foot stomping on Isaac sometimes.Challenging difficulty.An interesting take on Christianity.Greed Mode: A enemy rush mode centered on clearing waves of enemies for coins is a fun time.Tons of things to unlock. The Steam version of the game has 637 achievements!Pills that can give random effects, and Tarot Cards, where some refer to Major Arcana cards.Fun bosses, especially Mom, Mom's Heart/It Lives, .It got 3 expansions that add tons of new content. Repentance is the biggest of them all due to adding almost everything from the popular mod Antibirth and adding even more to the game's story; you can make Isaac return to his home!Tons of challenges that place certain handicaps on you or give you a unique load out.Loads of mods from the Steam Workshop page to boost your gameplay experience and maybe even get a few laughs.
==Bad Qualities==
Some items range from mediocre to flat out detrimental. Thankfully, some, like Aquarius and Holy Water, were buffed in Repentance.Some characters have flaws that make them a bit difficult and frustrating to play as:???, prior to being buffed in Repentance, was rather weak because the added difficulty was not traded off for any interesting mechanics.The Lost was the worst character prior to Afterbirth, because he didn't start with any special items or abilities other than being able to fly, and it doesn't help that he dies in a single hit.Jacob and Esau can be quite difficult to manage, since you have to control and maintain two characters at the same time.Some challenges are awful and/or not really worth it (such as SPEED! or BRAINS!).The expansions cost a few dollars too much.Greedier Mode is just greed mode with more enemies, less coins rewarded, and a tedious 2nd phase for Ultra Greed.Much like Noita, the random factor can and will screw you over, sometimes resulting in difficulty spikes.Certain mods, or mods in general, could cause the game to crash on startup or during a run. However, it's excusable, since it's normally a problem with the mod itself and not the game.

}}'''''Peter Pan'' '''(not to be confused with the Disney film of the same name) is a "video game" created by the infamous [[Phoenix Games]] for the PlayStation 2. The animated film was made by the now-defunct Polish company Longsoft Multimedia, which specialized in developing games and short budget animations. The game went viral as one of the compilations from one of the most infamous studios and is still considered one of the worst PlayStation 2 games and games for kids to this day. The game also became infamous for having one of the worst covers of all time.
==Plot==
The plot centers around three young children who go on an adventure with Peter Pan to Neverland when their parents leave to go to the Ball, but when the evil Captain Hook kidnaps Tiger Lily, Peter Pan must rescue Tiger Lily and stop Captain Hook in his tracks.
== Gameplay ==
As in other compilations, the mini-games are not complicated and have similar rules to each other, such as arranging a puzzle or matching two of the same elements. There is also a few minute video available.
==Why It Has No Great Joy==
# This game is a rip off of the Disney's film ''[[Peter Pan (1953)|Peter Pan]]'', even the movie's plot and some of the character designs are similar to said game. It's not hard to guess that this is a cheap cash grab based on one of Disney's most famous movies.
# Much like the [[Dalmatians|previous]] [[Snow White and the 7 Clever Boys|six]] [[Animal Soccer World|installments]], this "game" is not really a game, just a compilation collection of mini-games and a movie as if the developers lacked creativity and created a few minigames instead of even an adventure or action game.
# As with all other Phoenix Games compilations, all mini-games are boring and repetitive because they either consist of making a picture of a screenshot from a "movie" or matching two of the same elements.
# Much like ''Snow White and the 7 Clever Boys'', the box art is very misleading; the box art shows the characters rendered in 3D, but the game (along with its movie) is actually in 2D.
# The box art itself looks bad, as the model used for Peter Pan looks like something out of the 3D animated movie, ''An Elf's Story'', the background is stolen from ''Kingdom Hearts'' and there is a random bird standing on top of the logo in the front who never appears anywhere in the movie.
# Also much like ''The Dalmatians'', the movie itself has awful animation, looking like something out of an early 1980's cartoon (give ''Snow White and the 7 Clever Boys'' credit for having passable animation), the characters also look scary and look like they've been leaked from an early 20's animation and have been colored or even painted on a piece of paper and they look like a characters from Zelda's CDI games.
#* One example is that the "animation" and "model" of the ball is simply an image that moves from top to bottom and back again and again and again.
# The story is very confusing to follow, as everything happens at random for no apparent reason and without proper explanation as if story was being written on the knee without staring at the knee itself.
# Many errors are present in this movie because a lot of 3D models go through each other and the animation is missing at times.
# Bad voice acting; due to the fact that the '''entire''' film is voiced by the narrator, all of the characters sound '''''exactly '''''the same. To add insult to injury, when the characters talk to each other, the narrator tries to do multiple voices, making it almost impossible to know which character is talking to who (unlike ''Dalmatians 3'', whereas the voice acting was also bad, but at least the voices were different) as if the developers didn't have the money to hire more actors and they hired only one and made her change her tone while speaking so that no one would notice that only one person did the voice.
# '''''Awful''''' lip-syncing, as the voice actors say things that don't match the way the characters move their lips when they talk as if the real dialogues had been muted and replaced by others.
# There are also times where the narrator will either be too slow or too fast in his narration making it sometimes hard to understand and other times boring to the viewer.
# Poor sound quality, as in the opening cutscene static can be heard (though it might have been raining) which clearly shows that the "movie" was not tested at all and they could not match the sound well to the situation.
# Much like ''[[Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase]]'', there are times where the characters will awkwardly pause for no reason as if they were so scared of something that they would lose control over their bodies or become partially paralyzed.
# The menu is badly designed because you don't know where a function leads.
# Sound recycling, the sound used when Peter Pan moves his foot with his shadow on it is the '''exact''' same sound used when Gex (the protagonist of the ''Gex'' Trilogy) jumps on his tail which is not only a textbook example of creators' laziness but also plagiarism from other games just to find a shortcut.
# The word "'''Green'''" gets reused '''''multiple times''''' which generally becomes irritating very quickly and makes you want to turn off the movie.
# Weird dialog from some of the characters. One notable example is the line said by Peter Pan when he is describing Captain Hook: "''They're left by Captain Hook, who likes settling accounts.''". Does that mean he's a stockbroker/banker? The developers didn't even seem to check the coherence of sentences and came up with any kind of sentences as long as there were any dialogues.
# As mentioned above, the background behind the pirate ship is just Destiny Islands ripped straight from ''Kingdom Hearts'' which may be considered plagiarism and is generally a copyright infringement.
== Redeeming Qualities ==
# The game can be considered so bad it's good like all other Phoenix Games compilations due to the terrible animation and voice acting.
# Captain Hook's model on the boxart seems to appear decent after all, unlike other fable characters that resemble living corpses.
== Reception ==
The game, though similar to other Phoenix Games games, was never noticed by critics, was widely publicized by online reviewers from whom the game received overwhelmingly negative reviews, and was considered one of the worst games for children as well as one of the worst games on PlayStation 2 and even considered one of the worst games of all time. The game was also reviewed by many YouTubers like Caddicarus who were also critical of the game compilation and mocked it for its flaws.

'''''[[:w:Fanboy & Chum Chum|Fanboy & Chum Chum]]''''' is an American CGI animated television series created by Eric Robles for Nickelodeon. It is based on ''Fanboy'', an animated short created by Robles for Nicktoons and Frederator Studios, which was broadcast from August 14, 2009, to October 17, 2012, on ''Random! Cartoons''. The series was first broadcast on October 12, 2009, on Nickelodeon as a preview, then officially premiered on November 6, 2009, after ''[[Truth or Square (SpongeBob SquarePants)|SpongeBob's Truth or Square]]'', and officially ended on July 12, 2014.
==Plot==
Fanboy and Chum Chum are fans of all things science fiction and fantasy and wear wild superhero costumes with their underwear on the outside. Their lives are filled with adventure, from Fanboy's teacher turning into a zombie to an ice monster operating the Frosty Freezy Freeze machine. Their pal Kyle usually tags along on their escapades. Kyle is a real wizard, but Fanboy and Chum Chum are oblivious to his mystical powers, although they live in a world of fantasy.
==Why It Gives You a Brain Freeze==
#The show can easily be seen as an Imitation of ''SpongeBob SquarePants'', as Fanboy, Chum Chum, and Kyle are literal clones of SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward, respectively (though Kyle is likable).
#The art style, despite being original, Looney Tunes-esque, and also Veggietales-esque, has its problems:
#*The character designs are quite ugly, bad and unnatural, thus, they also don't translate well in 3D. Notably, the eyes look like they're bulging out of the characters' skulls, the hands of some of the characters are too big, the ears make them look like monkeys, and some of their foreheads are too big (with Kyle and Sigmund being perfect examples), and the faces look uncanny and unnatural. Also, they look like characters rejected by ''[[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius]]'' at best.
#*The backgrounds are a bit of an eyesore, due to the colors being too bright and them looking weird.
#While the animation is very nice and fluid, especially for the time it came out, several animation errors can be noticed throughout several episodes. This can be noticeable in the first season.
#It can be inappropriate at times, like ''[[Breadwinners]]'' and ''[[Sanjay and Craig]]'':
#*It overuses [[Toilet/Gross-Out Humor|toilet/gross-out humor]], especially in the episodes "Pick a Nose" and "Fanboy Stinks". Examples:
#**Fanboy sneezing into his surgical mask when he is disguised as a nurse.
#**Chum Chum has a foot with a bad odor rubbed on his face, which disgusts Fanboy.
#**Kyle attempts to pull Fanboy's finger and Fanboy flatulates on him when he refuses.
#**Fanboy and Chum Chum hiding in a waste container.
#**Mr. Mufflin's feet with a bad odor.
#**Boog saying that he likes to defecate in his diaper.
#**Fanboy getting his head stuck in a toilet.
#**A bunch of girls being attracted to Fanboy's odor in "Fanboy Stinks".
#*The episode "Moppy Dearest" has '''objectophilia''' jokes in a '''kids'''' show, where Fanboy falls in love with a mop.
#The use of pop culture references, especially to '''R-rated movies''' (eg. ''A Clockwork Orange'' and ''The Shining''), is used in a bad way.
#*They even use references to cereal and other cartoons like ''Lucky Charms'', ''Marvel'' comics, and even ''Schoolhouse Rock'', which are all just weird.
#While there are some likable characters, there are a few unlikable, insufferable, or just plain loathsome characters:
#*The titular duo are immature jerks who, although not intentionally mean, annoy everyone around them, which doesn't help that their voices are a bit too overly squeaky.
#**On top of that, both of their names are downright laughable and nonsensical.
#*Yo, despite being interesting, is a young girl in Fanboy and Chum Chum's class, who obsesses over Chum Chum ''anytime she is seen onscreen''.
#*Mr. Mufflin, despite being likable, used to be quite boring in the first season of the show, as he was a typical "depressed teacher" type character.
#*Sigmund is also somewhat mean-spirited, but only towards Kyle, as he constantly fools him into believing he can get back into milkweed.
#**In his debut episode, he '''gave Fanboy and Chum Chum dynamite so they can explode'''. '''Yes, really'''.
#*Michael Johnson is an insult to the late Michael Jackson, and to add insult to injury, the show premiered four months after his death.
#*Otherwise, some of the good characters, such as Kyle, can have their fair portion of unlikable moments, with a good example being in "Separation Anxiety".
#Kyle's cliché of being treated like dirt is insulting, turning him into a butt-monkey, a character who gets hurt by everyone in the show for little to no (if not any) apparent reason at all.
#*Even Fanboy and Chum Chum are butt-monkeys in some episodes. In "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha", Miss Olive mistakes them as kindergarten students and forces them to attend the class for the whole day.
#Some characters use the same models but with slightly different appearances, different names, and classifications. For example, Lunch Lady Cram's twin sister, Bus Lady Cram, is her but as a bus driver. She has the same appearance as Lunch Lady Cram (the only difference is the hat), the same personality as Lunch Lady Cram (only much more hurtful, cruel, and sadistic), and even the same voice actress as Lunch Lady Cram, Candi Milo (only her voice is slightly deeper and has a much more evil laugh). In one episode, before her name was revealed, everyone in the show even called her Lunch Lady Cram because of this.
#The background music sounds distorted and broken.
#There is so much noise that never stops nor ends:
#*The voice acting mostly consists of screaming, Babbeling and squealing, even from actors such as David Hornsby (Rickety Cricket from ''It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia''), Nika Futterman (Luna Loud and Alexis from ''The Loud House'', Sticks The Badger from ''Sonic Boom'', and Stretch the Tape Measure and Squeeze the Pliers from ''Handy Manny''), Jamie Kennedy (''Son of The Mask'' and ''The Jamie Kennedy Experiment''), and Jeff Bennett (the eponymous character from ''Johnny Bravo'', Kowalski from ''Penguins of Madagascar'', the man with the yellow hat from ''Curious George'', Mick Swagger from ''The Loud House'', Raj and Samson from ''Camp Lazlo,'' Conrad Fleem and Shelton Klutzberry from ''The Replacements, Silvester from The Larry Doyle era of Looney Tunes, Kyle Katarn from Star Wars: Jedi Outcast and Academy'' and Dexter's father from ''Dexter's Laboratory''), Candi Milo (Nora Wakeman from My Life as a Teenage Robot, the eponymous character from Season 3 and 4 of Dexter's Laboratory, Janet from The Boondocks, Dona from Final Fantasy X series, the titular chracter from the Astro Boy game (2004) and Redback Thorn from Ty3: The Tasmanian Tiger: Night of the Quinkan).
#*The theme song, while admittedly catchy, is incredibly annoying, loud, and ear-piercing and the lyrics of the second half of the song consist of "bah bah bah"s. Brad Breeck, the composer of the theme song, also did the ''[[Gravity Falls]]'' title tune. The titular characters sound even worse than they do in the actual show, as they sing like an emo pop or pop punk band by whining.
#**Apart from the "bah bah bah"s, the song also consists of loud screaming throughout.
#*** There are painful yet insufferable sound effects.
#The majority of the show is painfully nonsensical and doesn't have any logical premise.
#Much like ''[[Breadwinners]]'', the pacing is insufferable.
#The title cards, despite looking cool, have a very weird choppy looking art style to them which can sometimes look pretty uncanny. A few are also misleading, such as the one in "Bubble Trouble", where it depicts Boog getting stuck in a soap bubble, despite it '''never actually happening''' throughout the episode.
==Qualities That Deserve Frosty Freezy Freezes==
#The show has some funny moments.
#This show has a good amount of likable characters such as:
#*Kyle
#*Lenny
#*Boog Shlizetti
#*Man-Arctica
#*Mr. Mufflin
#*Dollarnator
#*Agent Johnson
#*Lupe
#*The Oz
#*Yo
#Most of the title cards look kind of cool, despite the choppy-looking art style to them.
#Some of the character designs are passable such as Lenny, Boog, and Man-Arctica.
#*Speaking of the character designs, despite looking ugly in CGI, they kind of do look cartoony and Looney Tunes-esque.
#There are a handful of good/decent episodes here and there such as:
#*"Fanboy" (the pilot)
#*"Berry Sick"
#*"Night Morning"
#*"Fangboy" (Arguably the best episode of the series)
#*"Stan-Arctica"
#*"Put That Cookie Down!"
#*"GameBoy"
#*"HypnotOZed"
#*"Night Morning"
#*"Norse Code"
#*"Present Not Accounted For"
#*"Saving Private Chum Chum"
#*"Back from the Future"
#*"The Winners"
#*"No Toy Story" (which would have been a good way to start the second season, but disappointingly the producers decided to put "I'm Man-Arctica" as the first part of the second season premiere)
#*"[[Slime Day (Fanboy and Chum Chum)|Slime Day]]"
#*"Heroes vs. Villains"
#*"Super Chums"
#*"There Will Be Shrieks"
#*"A Very Brrr-y Icemas"
#*"[[Brain Freeze (Fanboy and Chum Chum)|Brain Freeze]]" (the series finale, which ended the show on a decent note)
#Season 2 is a slight improvement over season 1 since the main titular protagonists are somewhat more likable (mainly in the second half of the season), the animation receives a more polished look and has a few better episodes. However, these aren't saying a lot, as many flaws remain from Season 1.
#While the voice acting contains a lot of ear-piercing screaming, it can be quite tolerable when it isn't meant to be annoying or weird.
#The show's composer, Brad Breeck, released [https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6n8dpsxe9od9o5l/AAAQyHlH_XIMRRTjUojPKQd_a?dl=0 studio-quality stems] of the show's theme song after he was asked, showing that he appreciates his fans and is actively helping them make parodies of his music.
#The animation is quite redeemable, fluid, and colorful, especially because it came out in 2009; this can be noticeable in the second season.
#Despite the background music sounding distorted and broken, it can sound goofy, funny, enjoyable, and endearing at times.
==Notable bad episodes from the series==

== Reception ==
<nowiki>''Fanboy & Chum Chum'' was critically panned by the majority of critics and audiences alike. It was criticized for its annoying and unfunny humor and it's mostly lazy visuals. It is considered to be not only one of the worst Nickelodeon shows ever made, but also one of the worst cartoons of all time in general. It sits at a 3.4/10 on IMDb and a 4.9/10 on Rating Graph. The series is often considered the moment that Nickelodeon's decline began and they still haven'</nowiki>t recovered since then (as stated above). However, it seems to have gained a cult following as of now.
==Trivia==
*It was greenlit by Nickelodeon over ''[[Adventure Time]]'', which would air on Cartoon Network because one of the workers found it "too weird".
*It was one of the few Nicktoons to end on its terms on the main channel.
*After nearly three years of being adored, the show was moved to a 7:00 AM slot on weekdays in 2012 – right before the Nick Jr. block in the morning (which usually started at 8:00 or 9:00 AM). Reruns were practically non-existent, as the show would air only on Sundays at 7:00 AM from somewhere around early 2014 to early 2015 before it was banished permanently.
**The series finale ("Brain Freeze") was delayed for two years and was to air on July 12, 2014, but ended up airing a day later on the main Nickelodeon channel.
**On [[Nicktoons (2014-present)|Nicktoons]], the show could be found airing somewhat inconsistently between 4:30 AM and 6:00 AM, along with ''Random! Cartoons'' and ''TUFF Puppy''. These time slots remained until the show entirely ceased to air in March 2016, though it briefly came back to air on Christmas Day in a graveyard slot before being removed for good.
*In separation anxiety, the two main characters' names were revealed. fanboy's real name was Tobias and Chum Chum's real name was Sir Edmund.
*Over the years of its existence, it would later gain a fanbase and cult following, which is wackier than the show itself. The most common places for these fans to appear would be on platforms such as TikTok, Twitter/X, Tumblr, etc. It would also receive some projects from fans, such as fan art and OCs, costumes and cosplays, and memes.
*The entire series was added to Paramount+ on December 15, 2020.<ref>https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/fanboy-and-chum-chum/</ref>
*The creator, Eric Robles, would go on to be the co-creator of ''[[Glitch Techs]].

'''Internet Archive''' is a library in San Francisco, USA, that stores all kinds of media. Founded in 1996 by Brewster Kahle, it provides free access to collections of digitized materials including websites, software applications, music, audiovisual, and print materials. The Archive also advocates a free and open Internet. As of September 5, 2024, the Internet Archive held more than 42.1 million print materials, 13 million videos, 1.2 million software programs, 14 million audio files, 5 million images, 272,660 concerts, and over 866 billion web pages in its Wayback Machine. Its mission is committing to provide "universal access to all knowledge".
The Internet Archive allows the public to upload and download digital material to its data cluster, but the bulk of its data is collected automatically by its web crawlers, which work to preserve as much of the public web as possible. Its web archive, the Wayback Machine, contains hundreds of billions of web captures. The Archive also oversees numerous book digitization projects, collectively one of the world's largest book digitization efforts.
== Why It's A Blast From the Past ==
#First, it is probably the largest library of games, movies, series, books, music, and songs. You can put any file on this page.
#The site's design is nice and legible and even a novice user of this network should have no problem finding anything.
#A lot of useful features that sometimes even allow you to use media without downloading:
#*Like My Abandonware, this site has built-in emulators that can be used to play older DOS, NES, SNES, PSX games, and older platforms.
#*It also can play video and audio like YouTube without using YouTube itself.
#*Also offers the function of reading books.
#*You can also watch certain deleted or privatized videos from YouTube.
#And of course, Wayback Machine where you can save the old versions of websites or simple pages.
#This site also initiated the hosting on which, of course, Abandonware is based.
#The download function on the site is very complex, you can request a torrent or just a RAR or an ISO file.
== Qualities That Get Lost ==
#Sometimes, files are slow to download or games are slow to load in the emulator, especially those on the PSX.
#Sometimes, video players are slow to watch, even if you have a strong internet connection.
#If a user confirms a new e-mail address to change an old one during the verification process, their uploaded items will be entirely lost, ram the counter to zero, and on the item details, the uploader itself will change to "Unknown." After that, a user will find it impossible to list and contact the staff to resolve an issue before getting them back.
#*Additionally, a user can't edit details and manage files on their uploaded item under an old e-mail address.
#Sadly, the Internet Archive's Open Library service shut down in September 2024 due to a string of lawsuits.
== Trivia ==
*On October 10, 2024, the Internet Archive suffered a catastrophic security breach, resulting in it being fully or partially down for several weeks.

}}'''Old-games.ru''' is a website dedicated to abandoned PC games. It was founded in 2000 and is based in Russia.
== Почему Вы Следуете Бежать для Здесь (Why You Should Run Here) ==
#First of all, unlike sites like My Abandonware or Abandonia, they are not afraid of platforms like Steam, Gog or Origin, nor are they afraid of remakes or compilations, which makes this site a very good place to find games.
#The design of the site is very good and quite organized so that the user will have rather little chance of finding them.
#Their library is very large and they have most of the known titles for free download, especially since they are looking for games from every well-known company.
#You can add a game, unlike most other sites like My Abandonware.
#You can also write your review and add your rating which is saved in your account.
#Speaking of an account, it makes sense to have one unlike Western sites of this type even though you can download the game for free.
#You can write articles that don't necessarily have to be related to old games.
#This site even has its wiki where it discusses in great detail how to use the emulator, although unfortunately, it is in Russian. With the help of a translator, you can use it.
#You can also add files, screenshots, etc. without limit and they are sorted categorically so there is no mess.
#The site has no ads at all, so it's not even a little frustrating.
== Единого плохого качеству (The Only Bad Quality) ==
#It is only in Russian, although it offers the possibility of translating into English. However, not everything is translated so you have to use Google Translate or another machine translator.

#Just like ''Sword and Shield,'' the game was clearly [[Rushing game development|rushed]] to meet a November 2021 deadline, leading to several of the problems listed below.
#'''To get the Snorlax out of the room:''' despite both ''Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl'' being '''remakes''', they have very few or no changes from the original DS games, given that nearly all of the flaws the originals has are present (including Ponyta being the ''only'' Fire-type Pokémon one can catch in the wild outside of Grand Underground areas) while most of the new content is from the ''Let's Go'' games and ''Sword and Shield'', which makes these games feel barren compared to previous remakes. They also feel rehashed and almost copy-pasted when compared to every single other previous main series Pokémon game (yes, even ''Sword and Shield'').
#*Because of this, there is no content from ''Pokémon Platinum'' such as the Distortion World or Battle Frontier, and the Sinnoh Pokédex only contains the original 151 Pokémon found in ''Diamond and Pearl.''
#'''Unimpressive graphics:''' they look incredibly cheap compared to past remakes, such as ''[[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]'' or the ''Let's Go'' games due to ILCA trying to recreate the original art style but poorly translating the pseudo-3D graphics of the original games to 3D models.
#*The characters' chibi models can look uncanny and sometimes ugly at times, and the cutscenes look awkward with this art style due to the models looking unexpressive while the camera tends to zoom in on them a little too much.
#There are no post-Gen IV Pokémon in this game at all, since all 493 Pokémon from the original Sinnoh games are the only ones who can be caught here, in an effort to make it more faithful to the originals.
#*Also like ''Sword and Shield,'' you can only transfer the aforementioned Pokémon to the game from Pokémon Home.
#*For some strange reason, you are unable to transfer Spinda or Nincada from previous games to this game, the former due to a bug that would indirectly change Spinda's pattern when transferred, and the latter due to the strict anti-cloning methods used here.
#The new difficulty curve is so inconsistent that it doesn't have a true difficulty or target audience. The game is reletively easy up (suitable for casual players) until you get to the Elite Four, Cynthia, and Gym Leader rematches. They use more competitive teams instead of the more standard RPG teams they originally had, while the Pokémon heavily use their Abilities and have choice items on them. These fights are suitable for experts, not causual players.
#*In fact, they are so hard that some of the strategies they use are '''banned in official competitive Pokémon''', proving ILCA tried way too hard to make these battles challenging.
#*Not to mention you are once again unable to turn off the EXP Share feature, while it is useful for players to not grind or farm more, it seems easier than challenging enough.
#*Don't forget Elite Four and Cynthia even use full restores for Pokémon with less HP or inflicting status effects, which makes the gameplay look worse in comparison to the originals and ''Platinum''.
#The animations are absolutely lazy, as the characters and Pokémon still move rigidly in battles or competing in Super Contests, and some Pokémon's models don't feature proper attacking animations.
#While it is nice to have character customization in this game, it is rather limited compared to previous Switch ''Pokémon'' games (particularly ''Sword and Shield''), as you buy full outfits rather than individual articles of clothing.
#*It doesn't help one bit that this will continue to be the case in ''[[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet and Violet]]''. However, the latter has lots of customizations to use, but the outfits are still limited.
#The remastered music is inferior to the original DS music, an example being that Cyrus's theme does not sound as threatening as the original, thus making his entrance feel less intimidating and cool.
#The Underground Wild Areas, while a nice addition, feel more linear and barren compared to ''Sword and Shield's'' Wild Area (as well as The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra) because of the slight lack of Pokémon and emptiness found inside of them, and most Pokémon can easily be caught unlike previous Wild Areas.
#Inconsistent and sometimes buggy frame rate, as the characters move in choppy and erratic manners, while the frame rate can drop from 60 FPS to 30 FPS and cause characters' models to freeze.
#The Walking Pokémon feature isn't implemented well here, as many Pokémon tend to fall behind whenever the player runs, and also walk rather slowly in comparison to the player, a big example of this being Onix.
#*In additon, they have extremely lazy AI. Rather than using a pathfinding system, they go in the direction the player is. This results in them running into walls if you are walking in something like a maze.
#*Some of the Pokémon (like Ekans or Rayquaza) don't even have proper following animations and instead use their idle animation. While some will say its justifed because they are snakes and they don't have legs, it's not a good argument as snakes do not move like that in real life. The reason for this is probably ILCA cutting corners and rushing the game to release it on time.
#**To add insult to injury, it's not hard to implement the walking/running animations as '''they already exist''' in the files of previous games.
#Just like in the original games, TMs are extremely limited and can only be used once before they break, which is tedious because they are required to use in certain areas such as foggy ones. Couple that with the moves' limited uses, and these sections become more annoying than they already were.
#This game is a prime example of nostalgia pandering gone wrong, as it shoves a lot of Sinnoh fanservice down players' throats and barely does anything to make them stand out.
#*While it came out 2 months later after these, even ''Pokémon Masters EX'' suffers this, starting with the Sinnoh Villain Arc, despite being the 4th chapter, due to how it panders this than Johto, the 2nd chapter after Kanto.
#Mindy, the "Infamous Joke NPC" returns in Snowpoint City to trade a Medicham for her Haunter holding an Everstone. '''How is anyone who never played the original DS games supposed to know this?'''
#*This was thankfully addressed in ''Scarlet and Violet,'' where Blossom in Levincia trades a Haunter for a Pincurchin and it actually evolves into Gengar.
#The Poketch is a massive downgrade compared to the DS games, as instead of using the Touch Screen to display its features, it is a UI option that can feel intrusive when used.
#*Also, you are unable to cycle Poketch apps backwards, unlike ''Platinum.''
#The Global Wonder Station (GWS) was inaccessible until an update on March 15, 2022, due to the rushed development.
#The game has a plethora of bugs and glitches that are just as bad as the Gen I games or ''Scarlet and Violet,'' with the game tending to softlock the player at certain points when using the Walking Pokémon feature and sound glitches being fairly common as well.
#Super Contests are reduced to being a boring rhythm minigame with zero replay value, which is a downgrade from Contests in ''Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire'' where they were modernized for new players in a much better way. Here, however, it serves as unnecessary filler and can be completed in under a minute (something not even the ''Rhythm Heaven'' games would be guilty of).
#Unlike ''ORAS,'' which had Pokémon Bank connectivity at launch, connectivity with Pokémon Home was not available until May 18, 2022 (which was approximately '''six months''' after the game's launch). Sure, ''Legends: Arceus'' had to wait for that day as well, but still.
#*A possible reason for the lengthy wait is that Game Freak implemented a change that would alter Pokémon's move set when they were transferred to and from other games.
#'''Overpriced:''' Each of these games is '''$60''' at launch despite lack of new and/or ''Platinum''-related content in general.
#Most of the game's code is lazily imported from the DS games without fixing any major problems that they had, and due to these games being made on Unity rather than the original engine, this makes these games come off as more of HD remastered versions of the original games rather than proper remakes, which shows that ILCA cut corners during the already-rushed development.
#*To add insult to injury, Game Freak gave ILCA almost no oversight due to the former company being busy with ''Legends: Arceus,'' so The Pokémon Company just gave ILCA the task of remastering ''Diamond and Pearl'' with little to no effort, and considering ''Legends: Arceus'' was possibly delayed by at least two months, this means these games are simply filler for the Holiday 2021 season and a cash grab that only exists to make money.
#'''False advertising for two reasons:'''
#*Porygon-Z was seen using Hyper Beam in the initial trailer, implying that all Pokémon in the ''Platinum'' Dex should appear, but due to its faithfulness, it is limited to 151 in the original Dex.
#*Players could freely move the Poke Capsule for their Poke Ball in the trailer, but it was limited to grids in the game.
#Overall, it's a massive disappointment and a huge insult to the hundreds of fans who wanted a Sinnoh remake in the style of the previous Pokémon remakes. This makes it a missed opportunity to make a Sinnoh remake in the same style as the previous remakes.
== Brilliant and Shining Qualities ==
#The slow pacing from the original games is toned down in this one, as the pacing is quicker and battles are shorter than the originals. Surfing speed is also quicker.
#The Fairy type was added into these games, as well as several Fairy-type moves that weren't in the original games (due to the type being introduced in Generation VI), thus making Pokémon such as Mr. Mime, Togekiss, and Gardevoir more versatile than they originally were.
#This game also introduces Ramanas Park, where you can obtain Legendary Pokémon from other regions (Kanto, Johto and Hoenn) via special slates that resemble Game Boy and GBA cartridges, which is a nice callback to these eras.
#Some of the new content is alright, such as the Grand Underground and their Wild Areas.
#*Additionally, some of the original things are still good, such as the characters and story.
#The DS item allows you to play the original music from the DS games.
#As of Update 1.3.0., players can catch Arceus with the Azure Flute item when they complete all 22 main missions of ''Legends: Arceus.''
#This game can be nostalgic for long-time players, especially fans of the original ''Diamond and Pearl'' games.
#The game's box art is extremely realistic and properly detailed when compared to every single other game in the series (before and after it). Rather than using artwork of the Pokémon, 3D models of Dialga and Palkia complete with realistic and detailed textures are used.
== Reception ==
''Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl'' received mixed reviews from critics (both scoring 73 on Metacritic), but critical backlash from fans of the ''Pokémon'' series (user scores being 5.2 and 5.5 for ''Brilliant Diamond'' and ''Shining Pearl,'' respectively), with most of the criticism being directed at being almost identical to the original games and making their flaws worse, bad art style and inconsistent difficulty; they are often considered as, hands down, the series' worst remakes.

'''''Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl''''' are role-playing games developed by ILCA, Inc. (the developers of Pokémon Home) and published by [[Nintendo (1977-2015, 2017-2020)|Nint]][[Nintendo (2015-2017, 2021-present)|endo]] and The Pokémon Company for the [[Nintendo Switch]]. The games are remakes of the 2006 [[Nintendo DS]] games ''[[Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]]'', and the first ''Pokémon'' titles to not be developed by Game Freak.

#The Poketch is a massive downgrade compared to the DS games, as instead of using the Touch Screen to display its features, it is a UI option that can feel intrusive when used.
#*Also, you are unable to cycle Poketch apps backwards, unlike ''Platinum.''
#The Global Wonder Station (GWS) was inaccessible until an update on March 15, 2022, due to the rushed development.
#The game has a plethora of bugs and glitches that are just as bad as the Gen I games or ''Scarlet and Violet,'' with the game tending to softlock the player at certain points when using the Walking Pokémon feature and sound glitches being fairly common as well.
#Super Contests are reduced to being a boring rhythm minigame with zero replay value, which is a downgrade from Contests in ''Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire'' where they were modernized for new players in a much better way. Here, however, it serves as unnecessary filler and can be completed in under a minute (something not even the ''Rhythm Heaven'' games would be guilty of).
#Unlike ''ORAS,'' which had Pokémon Bank connectivity at launch, connectivity with Pokémon Home was not available until May 18, 2022 (which was approximately '''six months''' after the game's launch). Sure, ''Legends: Arceus'' had to wait for that day as well, but still.
#*A possible reason for the lengthy wait is that Game Freak implemented a change that would alter Pokémon's move set when they were transferred to and from other games.
#'''Overpriced:''' Each of these games is '''$60''' at launch despite lack of new and/or ''Platinum''-related content in general.
#Most of the game's code is lazily imported from the DS games without fixing any major problems that they had, and due to these games being made on Unity rather than the original engine, this makes these games come off as more of HD remastered versions of the original games rather than proper remakes, which shows that ILCA cut corners during the already-rushed development.
#*To add insult to injury, Game Freak gave ILCA almost no oversight due to the former company being busy with ''Legends: Arceus,'' so The Pokémon Company just gave ILCA the task of remastering ''Diamond and Pearl'' with little to no effort, and considering ''Legends: Arceus'' was possibly delayed by at least two months, this means these games are simply filler for the Holiday 2021 season and a cash grab that only exists to make money.
#'''False advertising for two reasons:'''
#*Porygon-Z was seen using Hyper Beam in the initial trailer, implying that all Pokémon in the ''Platinum'' Dex should appear, but due to its faithfulness, it is limited to 151 in the original Dex.
#*Players could freely move the Poke Capsule for their Poke Ball in the trailer, but it was limited to grids in the game.
#Overall, it's a massive disappointment and a huge insult to the hundreds of fans who wanted a Sinnoh remake in the style of the previous Pokémon remakes. This makes it a missed opportunity to make a Sinnoh remake in the same style as the previous remakes.
== Brilliant and Shining Qualities ==
#The slow pacing from the original games is toned down in this one, as the pacing is quicker and battles are shorter than the originals. Surfing speed is also quicker.
#The Fairy type was added into these games, as well as several Fairy-type moves that weren't in the original games (due to the type being introduced in Generation VI), thus making Pokémon such as Mr. Mime, Togekiss, and Gardevoir more versatile than they originally were.
#This game also introduces Ramanas Park, where you can obtain Legendary Pokémon from other regions (Kanto, Johto and Hoenn) via special slates that resemble Game Boy and GBA cartridges, which is a nice callback to these eras.
#Some of the new content is alright, such as the Grand Underground and their Wild Areas.
#*Additionally, some of the original things are still good, such as the characters and story.
#The DS item allows you to play the original music from the DS games.
#As of Update 1.3.0., players can catch Arceus with the Azure Flute item when they complete all 22 main missions of ''Legends: Arceus.''
#This game can be nostalgic for long-time players, especially fans of the original ''Diamond and Pearl'' games.
#The game's box art is extremely realistic and properly detailed when compared to every single other game in the series (before and after it). Rather than using artwork of the Pokémon, 3D models of Dialga and Palkia complete with realistic and detailed textures are used.
== Reception ==
''Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl'' received mixed reviews from critics (both scoring 73 on Metacritic), but critical backlash from fans of the ''Pokémon'' series (user scores being 5.2 and 5.5 for ''Brilliant Diamond'' and ''Shining Pearl,'' respectively), with most of the criticism being directed at being almost identical to the original games and making their flaws worse, bad art style and inconsistent difficulty; they are often considered as, hands down, the series' worst remakes.

}}'''''HarmoKnight''''' is a rhythm platformer game developed by Game Freak and published by [[Nintendo (1977-2015, 2017-2020)|Nint]][[Nintendo (2015-2017, 2021-present)|endo]] for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. The game was released on the Nintendo eShop in Japan on September 5, 2012, then worldwide on March 28, 2013.
== Good Qualities ==
#The land of Melodia, the game's setting, has multiple areas that are not only varied in setting, but also follow a musical genre (such as the Rock Range, Calypso Beach, Metal Mountains, and Baroque Volcano).
#The story, while pretty basic, is still decent: you must rescue Princess Ariana from Gargan, who plans to conquer Melodia using her voice.
#*Compared to most other first-party eShop games at the time, the game is longer due to the story and cutscenes.
#Good graphics for early 3DS eShop game standards, with the worlds incorporating the aforementioned musical themes in each one, and James Turner's creative character designs give each one personality.
#Each of the three playable characters has a unique playing style:
#*Tempo, who you play as for most of the game, can jump over gaps and hit enemies with his Musical Staff.
#*Lyra can shoot arrows at enemies using her lyre and dodge their attacks.
#*Tyko and his monkey partner Cymbi have a high and low attack to attack enemies from those heights.
#The controls for each character are easy to master once you get the timing correct: B and X are used for special actions such as jumping and dodging, while A and Y are used to attack foes and percussion plants.
#Great soundtrack that is incorporated into gameplay via the player collecting Notes or defeating enemies. As before stated, there are also many genres of music, consisting of a marching beat (Marching Hills), rock and roll (Rock Range), calypso (Calypso Beach), jazz (Showtime Island), Christmas music (Sleighbell Slopes), heavy metal (Metal Mountains), and classical music (Baroque Volcano).
#*After completing each area (besides Showtime Island and Metal Mountains), you also unlock five levels based on songs from the ''Pokémon'' franchise!
#A major sidequest involves finding five birds known as Pinklefs, who are then used to open the door to the Sky Roost (the final world).
#In some levels, you get to control a Cymbi-shaped mine cart that can extend itself and continuously clap foes, while in two Calypso Beach levels you participate in a dancing minigame with Octarina as you copy her movements.
#Once you get a silver or gold flower after collecting a set of notes, you obtain Royal Notes used to unlock new areas and paths on the map. This pays off after defeating Gargan when you open the way to the final level before Sky Roost ("Looking For Birds").
#*Additionally, when you get a gold flower, you can replay the level in Fast Mode, which is the same level played at a faster pace.
#*Once you get a gold flower on both Normal and Fast modes in each level, you will unlock concept art.
== Bad Qualities ==
#It can take a while to get the timing of your actions just right, especially during bosses (the final move must be executed perfectly or you will instantly die).
#There are no checkpoints in any of the stages, so if you die or choose to restart, you have to start from the beginning of the stage.
#Lyra and Tyko are underused, only being playable in about a third of the levels in the game.
#Because this game was a digital-exclusive, and since the 3DS eShop closed down, you can no longer purchase the game legally.
== Reception ==
''HarmoKnight'' received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics and users (scoring 73/100 and 7.4/10, respectively, on Metacritic)<ref>https://www.metacritic.com/game/harmoknight/</ref>, with its soundtrack, creativity, and gameplay being praised, while its difficulty and picky rhythm timing were criticized.

== Why It's a real PC Gaming ==

#It also has a very extensive game library despite being only 10 years old, making it a really active wiki.
#Like Mobygames, it is able to provide a very large amount of content in the summary so that the reader can remember it relatively quickly.
#This wiki has a lot of useful categories.
#Ads, although they are there, can be easily turned off so you can read without ads.
#It is quite feature rich which makes it easy to use.
== The Only Bad Quality ==
#It's very difficult to create an account there because of the strange restrictions on user input, although this is to prevent spambots.

'''''Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl''''' are role-playing games developed by ILCA, Inc. (the developers of Pokémon Home) and published by [[Nintendo (1977-2015, 2017-2020)|Nint]][[Nintendo (2015-2017, 2021-present)|endo]] and The Pokémon Company for the [[Nintendo Switch]]. The games are remakes of the 2006 [[Nintendo DS]] games ''[[Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]]'', and the first ''Pokémon'' titles to not be developed by Game Freak.
== Qualities That Are Not Brilliant Nor Shining ==
#Just like ''Sword and Shield,'' the game was clearly [[Rushing media development|rushed]] to meet a November 2021 deadline, leading to several of the problems listed below.
#'''To get the Snorlax out of the room:''' despite both ''Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl'' being '''remakes''', they have very few or no changes from the original DS games, given that nearly all of the flaws the originals has are present (including Ponyta being the ''only'' Fire-type Pokémon one can catch in the wild outside of Grand Underground areas) while most of the new content is from the ''Let's Go'' games and ''Sword and Shield'', which makes these games feel barren compared to previous remakes. They also feel rehashed and almost copy-pasted when compared to every single other previous main series Pokémon game (yes, even ''Sword and Shield'').
#*Because of this, there is no content from ''Pokémon Platinum'' such as the Distortion World or Battle Frontier, and the Sinnoh Pokédex only contains the original 151 Pokémon found in ''Diamond and Pearl.''
#'''Unimpressive graphics:''' they look incredibly cheap compared to past remakes, such as ''[[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]'' or the ''Let's Go'' games due to ILCA trying to recreate the original art style but poorly translating the pseudo-3D graphics of the original games to 3D models.
#*The characters' chibi models can look uncanny and sometimes ugly at times, and the cutscenes look awkward with this art style due to the models looking unexpressive while the camera tends to zoom in on them a little too much.
#There are no post-Gen IV Pokémon in this game at all, since all 493 Pokémon from the original Sinnoh games are the only ones who can be caught here, in an effort to make it more faithful to the originals.
#*Also like ''Sword and Shield,'' you can only transfer the aforementioned Pokémon to the game from Pokémon Home.
#*For some strange reason, you are unable to transfer Spinda or Nincada from previous games to this game, the former due to a bug that would indirectly change Spinda's pattern when transferred, and the latter due to the strict anti-cloning methods used here.
#The new difficulty curve is so inconsistent that it doesn't have a true difficulty or target audience. The game is reletively easy up (suitable for casual players) until you get to the Elite Four, Cynthia, and Gym Leader rematches. They use more competitive teams instead of the more standard RPG teams they originally had, while the Pokémon heavily use their Abilities and have choice items on them. These fights are suitable for experts, not causual players.
#*In fact, they are so hard that some of the strategies they use are '''banned in official competitive Pokémon''', proving ILCA tried way too hard to make these battles challenging.
#*Not to mention you are once again unable to turn off the EXP Share feature, while it is useful for players to not grind or farm more, it seems easier than challenging enough.
#*Don't forget Elite Four and Cynthia even use full restores for Pokémon with less HP or inflicting status effects, which makes the gameplay look worse in comparison to the originals and ''Platinum''.
#The animations are absolutely lazy, as the characters and Pokémon still move rigidly in battles or competing in Super Contests, and some Pokémon's models don't feature proper attacking animations.
#While it is nice to have character customization in this game, it is rather limited compared to previous Switch ''Pokémon'' games (particularly ''Sword and Shield''), as you buy full outfits rather than individual articles of clothing.
#*It doesn't help one bit that this will continue to be the case in ''[[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet and Violet]]''. However, the latter has lots of customizations to use, but the outfits are still limited.
#The remastered music is inferior to the original DS music, an example being that Cyrus's theme does not sound as threatening as the original, thus making his entrance feel less intimidating and cool.
#The Underground Wild Areas, while a nice addition, feel more linear and barren compared to ''Sword and Shield's'' Wild Area (as well as The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra) because of the slight lack of Pokémon and emptiness found inside of them, and most Pokémon can easily be caught unlike previous Wild Areas.
#Inconsistent and sometimes buggy frame rate, as the characters move in choppy and erratic manners, while the frame rate can drop from 60 FPS to 30 FPS and cause characters' models to freeze.
#The Walking Pokémon feature isn't implemented well here, as many Pokémon tend to fall behind whenever the player runs, and also walk rather slowly in comparison to the player, a big example of this being Onix.
#*In additon, they have extremely lazy AI. Rather than using a pathfinding system, they go in the direction the player is. This results in them running into walls if you are walking in something like a maze.
#*Some of the Pokémon (like Ekans or Rayquaza) don't even have proper following animations and instead use their idle animation. While some will say its justifed because they are snakes and they don't have legs, it's not a good argument as snakes do not move like that in real life. The reason for this is probably ILCA cutting corners and rushing the game to release it on time.
#**To add insult to injury, it's not hard to implement the walking/running animations as '''they already exist''' in the files of previous games.
#Just like in the original games, TMs are extremely limited and can only be used once before they break, which is tedious because they are required to use in certain areas such as foggy ones. Couple that with the moves' limited uses, and these sections become more annoying than they already were.
#This game is a prime example of nostalgia pandering gone wrong, as it shoves a lot of Sinnoh fanservice down players' throats and barely does anything to make them stand out.
#*While it came out 2 months later after these, even ''Pokémon Masters EX'' suffers this, starting with the Sinnoh Villain Arc, despite being the 4th chapter, due to how it panders this than Johto, the 2nd chapter after Kanto.
#Mindy, the "Infamous Joke NPC" returns in Snowpoint City to trade a Medicham for her Haunter holding an Everstone. '''How is anyone who never played the original DS games supposed to know this?'''
#*This was thankfully addressed in ''Scarlet and Violet,'' where Blossom in Levincia trades a Haunter for a Pincurchin and it actually evolves into Gengar.
#The Poketch is a massive downgrade compared to the DS games, as instead of using the Touch Screen to display its features, it is a UI option that can feel intrusive when used.
#*Also, you are unable to cycle Poketch apps backwards, unlike ''Platinum.''
#The Global Wonder Station (GWS) was inaccessible until an update on March 15, 2022, due to the rushed development.
#The game has a plethora of bugs and glitches that are just as bad as the Gen I games or ''Scarlet and Violet,'' with the game tending to softlock the player at certain points when using the Walking Pokémon feature and sound glitches being fairly common as well.
#Super Contests are reduced to being a boring rhythm minigame with zero replay value, which is a downgrade from Contests in ''Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire'' where they were modernized for new players in a much better way. Here, however, it serves as unnecessary filler and can be completed in under a minute (something not even the ''Rhythm Heaven'' games would be guilty of).
#Unlike ''ORAS,'' which had Pokémon Bank connectivity at launch, connectivity with Pokémon Home was not available until May 18, 2022 (which was approximately '''six months''' after the game's launch). Sure, ''Legends: Arceus'' had to wait for that day as well, but still.
#*A possible reason for the lengthy wait is that Game Freak implemented a change that would alter Pokémon's move set when they were transferred to and from other games.
#'''Overpriced:''' Each of these games is '''$60''' at launch despite lack of new and/or ''Platinum''-related content in general.
#Most of the game's code is lazily imported from the DS games without fixing any major problems that they had, and due to these games being made on Unity rather than the original engine, this makes these games come off as more of HD remastered versions of the original games rather than proper remakes, which shows that ILCA cut corners during the already-rushed development.

#'''False advertising for two reasons:'''
#*Porygon-Z was seen using Hyper Beam in the initial trailer, implying that all Pokémon in the ''Platinum'' Dex should appear, but due to its faithfulness, it is limited to 151 in the original Dex.
#*Players could freely move the Poke Capsule for their Poke Ball in the trailer, but it was limited to grids in the game.
#Overall, it's a massive disappointment and a huge insult to the hundreds of fans who wanted a Sinnoh remake in the style of the previous Pokémon remakes. This makes it a missed opportunity to make a Sinnoh remake in the same style as the previous remakes.
== Brilliant and Shining Qualities ==
#The slow pacing from the original games is toned down in this one, as the pacing is quicker and battles are shorter than the originals. Surfing speed is also quicker.
#The Fairy type was added into these games, as well as several Fairy-type moves that weren't in the original games (due to the type being introduced in Generation VI), thus making Pokémon such as Mr. Mime, Togekiss, and Gardevoir more versatile than they originally were.
#This game also introduces Ramanas Park, where you can obtain Legendary Pokémon from other regions (Kanto, Johto and Hoenn) via special slates that resemble Game Boy and GBA cartridges, which is a nice callback to these eras.
#Some of the new content is alright, such as the Grand Underground and their Wild Areas.
#*Additionally, some of the original things are still good, such as the characters and story.
#The DS item allows you to play the original music from the DS games.
#As of Update 1.3.0., players can catch Arceus with the Azure Flute item when they complete all 22 main missions of ''Legends: Arceus.''
#This game can be nostalgic for long-time players, especially fans of the original ''Diamond and Pearl'' games.
#The game's box art is extremely realistic and properly detailed when compared to every single other game in the series (before and after it). Rather than using artwork of the Pokémon, 3D models of Dialga and Palkia complete with realistic and detailed textures are used.
== Reception ==

}}'''''Marine Sharpshooter IV: Locked and Loaded''''' (known as '''''Marine Sharpshooter IV''''' in Europe) is a 2008 first-person shooter video game developed and published by [[Groove Games]] in Canada, [[City Interactive]] in Europe, and 1C Company in Russia. This is the first game in the ''Marine Sharpshooter'' series which wasn't developed by [[Jarhead Games]] due to shutdown in 2007.
== Plot ==
The player just plays the role of a sniper who, together with another soldier, of course also nameless, is tasked with enduring nuclear terror by finding and securing a nuclear bomb, of course killing terrorists at the same time & that's all.
== Why It Sharp-shoots Itself ==
# The game uses an outdated engine, Unreal Engine 2, despite the game was released in 2008, where Unreal Engine 3 was released for several years, which already offered better game quality. The developer didn't even want to install a newer game development engine, they simply decided to continue using the older one, which shows the developers' laziness.
# The plot is almost nonexistent. You play the role of a sniper who, together with another soldier, of course also nameless, is tasked with enduring nuclear terror by finding and securing a nuclear bomb, of course killing terrorists at the same time. In addition, you can complete the game completely without bothering about the plot, which shows the developers' lack of creativity when creating the game.
#* In addition, you learn about the plot, not when the cutscene appears, but through the logs before the mission with the transcript.
#* Speaking of cutscenes, there are the ones that appear during the game (not after starting or completing a mission), which totally add nothing to the plot that can be easily ignored.
# Extremely bad artificial intelligence which is so badly programmed that it is difficult to create a worse artificial intelligence than in this game.
#* A teammate is only there to be. In general, he does not help in anything, he cannot shoot at enemy (he can only shoot at stones), he can't protect you or help in resolving the battlefield. In addition, there are situations when he gets stuck in some place and cannot get out of it. The developers realized that the teammate would be a total idiot, they gave for teammate the opportunity to teleport to you, when you are too far.
#* It is also worth mentioning the intelligence of the opponents, which is not better than your teammate. Their strategy is to stand like a pillar of salt or take a few steps towards you and then stand still. You can guess that the opponents have sclerosis. Your enemies can only see you apparently by looking straight in one line, so all you have to do is hide behind a corner or walk backwards towards your opponent, they just won't notice you.
# The gameplay is painfully linear and too easy. The game was supposed to be stealth, but you can hit the 'W' button and go forward proceed without any problems. The opponents do not sin with intelligence in any way (as mentioned in #4 point), and you have to do the same thing without any varieties. The developers simply decided to take shortcuts by creating the most repeatable gameplay possible in order not to put too much effort into the gameplay and because they wanted to use as few resources as possible.
# Ugly graphics, comparable to the first games released for the original Xbox, PlayStation 2, Nintendo Gamecube or Dreamcast. As mentioned above, it uses an outdated engine, from here you can see this graphics' artistry in terms of texture quality, models or particle effects. Not to mention that the previous installment somehow looked better. The graphics are a kind of peak of laziness shown by graphic designers when creating graphics.
# Cringe-worthy soundtrack. The music sounds like some African techno on pots from the deepest abyss. The developers didn't even bother to listen to this music, nor did they care whether it fits the game or not, and whether it was pleasant to the ear at all.
# The sound effects are also not in very-high quality. For example the gun sounds are like pounding meat on a table top.
# Quite imprecise shooting, mainly due to the sensitivity of the mouse, which is as fast as Sonic after a short circuit in the incubator. You have to set it to the lowest sensitivity to at least be playable. The developers didn't even know how to make a sniper rifle well, or even worse, they didn't want to test the game to see how shooting works in the game.
#* When you turned on the zoom, the sniper rifle shakes which makes shooting inconvenient.
# Ragdolls are so terrible they are amazing. In ''Marine Sharpshooter 3'' there were also inept ragdolls, but here it happens a dozen times more often. The developers gave the holding breath opportunity and this is where the '''magic of this feature''' begins.
#* If you aren't holding your breath and the opponent is standing outsite the grass, and you shoot, he just collapses.
#* If you aren't holding your breath and the opponent is standing on the grass, and you shoot, the opponent vibrates for about a second as if he is having an epileptic fit and disappears.
#* If you are holding your breath and the opponent is standing on the grass, and you shoot, he jumps up like a grasshopper and disappears.
#* And if you are holding your breath and the opponent is standing outside the grass, and you shoot, the opponent starts doing all sorts of acrobatics in the air as if he were in a circus.
# In the night missions, the night vision seems to be useless. The character models in the night missions are so bright, it feels like they've eaten too many fireflies. In fact, it can be said that this radar was placed only for decoration so that the developers could show that they can add anything to the game.
# As this is a game about sniper, there are only '''6 sniper rifles''' and '''10 rifles and pistols''' in total! It's a bit like in game about planes adding more helicopters. You can guess the developers didn't know how to properly balance the number of weapons or they thought the title was quite misleading.
#* Speaking of weapons, another type of weapon is a knife, which is simply useless. Again, apparently the knife was added just for decoration.
# Oddly done function of a camera looking at a bullet flying from a sniper rifle, at least in this game. In normal sniper games, this is to show the bullet hitting the opponent. Here it is quite the opposite. In this game, the camera shows how the bullet missed the opponent. Probably according to the developers, they were intended to show how you missed and you have to rethink that you performed such a shameful behavior in the form of a missed shot.
# Unlike its predecessor, it's impossible to change perspective from yours to your teammate. This is inexcusable because it shows that the developers were even lazier than when creating the previous game and that the newer game has less to offer than the previous one and is therefore, of course, even worse.
# Like most cheap shooters, guns have no recoil.
# The level design is totally boring and only happens in the same valley. The game takes place only in the highlands and gorges, even in the night stages there is the same landscape which makes you vomit. This only makes the gameplay even more repeatable than it could be if it weren't for the fact that the level design was quite interesting.
#* Additionally, invisible walls have been placed in some places, which are one of the most annoying aspects in any game, instead of blocking the area with mountains or forests.
# A few [[Game glitches|bugs and glitches]].
#* The most notable glitches are the ragdolls (as written in #10 point);
#* After killing enemies, they penetrate the asphalt or even surfaces;
#* The second notable problem (in the night missions) is how the enemies and teammate are enlightened (as written in #11 point).
#* In addition, you can observe the levitation of various objects, including your teammate.
#* Besides, you can climb mountains, and you managed to escape outside the map several times.
== The Only Redeeming Quality ==
# The main menu looks pretty cool and has a lot of options by Unreal Engine 2 standards.

|}
=== Critical reception ===
The game is so forgotten that there are hardly any reviews. The only review from critics that can be seen is from the defunct German website ''Shooterplanet'', which they gave a 15/100, saying: "I think they said everything there was to say about the Marine Sharpshooter range. Bad gameplay, bad marketing, and rightly pushed into a niche. I think that if you put City Interactive games the wrong way around, the Hell Gate opens and the apocalypse begins. However, if you do everything right and install it diligently, you should not have been punished any less. I don't want to say that the developers can't do anything. I would rather assume that they have resigned themselves to their current level and reach the stars less frequently. And so Marine Sharpshooter 4: Locked & Loaded is another, uninspired sequel that will be rightly forgotten in the next few days and weeks."<ref name="MobyGames"/>

'''''Robin Hood's Quest''''' is a stealth adventure game developed by Broadsword Interactive and published by Oxygen Games. This game is based on the [[wikipedia:Robin Hood|medieval British folklore hero of the same name]] and was released on February 16, 2007 for PC and PlayStation 2.
== Plot ==
The girl Robin Hood fell in love with is kidnapped by the Sheriff of Nottingham and the player's task is to help Robin Hood free her from the sheriff.
== Gameplay ==
The gameplay is simple, you perform tasks commissioned by the inhabitants of the forest or castle, which consist only in bringing things, the player opens gates with arrows and has to escape from villains.
== Why This Quest Sucks ==
# The box art is very poorly made; its just an image with four arrows being shot at with trees being shown in the back ground at night, this makes it look more like a cover of a book that came out in the early 2000s then a box art of a game made in 2007.
## Additionally, you can clearly see the trees as if they were illuminated by daylight but the sky shows that it is night as stated earlier. Also, Robin Hood is not on the cover.
# There are no cutscenes ''at all'', just text with narration as if the creators were lazy and didn't want to make renders trying to justify themselves with boring texts, which is unforgivable by the standards of 2007 as those games that were made back then had fully fledged cutscenes.
# The graphics are very poor by PlayStation 2 standards and are more like a late game on the PlayStation 1, the angular models and bland textures deserve particular courage, and the fact that the game came out in 2007 doesn't help either, other games that came out for PlayStation 2 such as, ''God of War 2'', ''Thrillville: Off The Rails, Burnout Dominator'', ''Ratatouille'', ''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'', ''[[The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night]]''(as in the PlayStation 2 version), ''[[Manhunt 2]]'', ''Spider-Man 3'' (Vicarious Visions version) and ''Shrek The Third'' also came out in 2007 and they look miles better.
# The gameplay is very repetitive, because it's basically just completing simple missions that look almost the same, opening doors with arrows and escaping from enemies, and all in all it's like a game from 1987 instead of 2007.
# For some odd reason, it didn't get a next-gen Xbox 360/PS3 port '''despite coming out in 2007'''.
# No boss fights what-so-ever.
# The voice acting is terrible and more specifically the voice of one actor who is the only actor in the game because all the main character does is either cry kneel when caught or say in a desperate voice that the door is locked which gets annoying very quickly.
# The level design is very boring because it's mostly just a forest, only occasionally we'll get a different location, but it's just the inside of a crumbling castle.
# Bad controls, as it is hard to control the camera which will make you rather run into walls or even into enemies without seeing them, also the hero himself moves slowly.
# The stealth missions are far worse than ''[[Daemon Summoner]]'' and ''[[Beverly Hills Cop (2006)|Beverly Hills Cop]]''; if a guard sees Robin, he will chase him and then Robin Hood falls on his knees, as there is nowhere to hide or to get rid of (kill) the guards because there is no weapon, not even a knife or a bow, which is mentioned below.
# The source material has been rather horribly misunderstood to the point that even a three-year-old would be able to better understand, in culture Robin Hood is a strong and brave warrior and archer, however in the game he is shown as a cowardly and weak slouch who is completely defenseless.
# You are defenseless, as Robin Hood cannot use your bow and arrows at the guards. They are only used to get past the gate which is rather stupid and makes no sense at all because the gates should rather be opened with keys and arrows are to kill opponents and gives the impression as if the creators were drunk and it's an insult since this is Robin Hood's iconic weapon of choice.
# [[False advertising in games|False advertisement]]: the game says that the Sheriff of Nottingham has captured Maid Marian, but you never actually see him.
# There is only one cutscene in the entire game.
# ''Robin Hood's Quest'' is ridicules short, as it can be beaten in less then 45 minutes, even ''Super Mario 64'' (which keep in mind, was the ''very'' first 3D game to be made, and was made for the Nintendo 64)takes much longer to beat.
== The Only Redeeming Quality ==
# The very idea of creating a stealth-adventure game about Robin Hood is even an interesting idea despite the terrible execution.
== Reception ==
The game, although not even noticed by critics, was noticed by online reviewers and toytubers who criticized it for literally everything and considered it the worst ''Robin Hood'' game.

'''''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''''' is a role-playing game developed by Intelligent Systems and published by [[Nintendo]] for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. It is the fourth installment in the ''Paper Mario'' subseries, and is the first (and currently only) handheld entry.
== Star Sucker Qualities ==
#Mario RPG's usually have deep, well-written plots and colorful, fleshed-out characters, but ''Sticker Star's'' plot is as bland and boring as a typical ''Mario'' platformer.
#Kersti, Mario's main partner in this game, is '''EXTREMELY''' unlikable even for ''Mario'' character standards. She forces Mario to clean up the mess even though '''''BOWSER''''' was the one who made it, collect all the pieces of the Sticker Comet, ''and'' collect the six Royal Stickers. Even worse, she is hot-tempered, going as far as blaming Mario for touching the Sticker Comet. All of these reasons make her very similar to Spryte from the [[The Legend of Zelda (1989)|''Zelda'' cartoon]].
#*The game even tries to make us feel sympathy for her when she sacrifices herself by turning herself into a sticker during the final phase of the battle against Bowser, but it quickly becomes undone when Mario revives her via the Sticker Comet.
#As the title implies, stickers are the main focus of this game; while they are a neat concept to use in a video game, they are your ''only means of attacking,'' thus forcing you to constantly collect new ones of run the risk of your Album running out. And if it ''does,'' you are completely helpless against foes due to '''''being unable to attack without at least one sticker,''''' so you will take damage until you die.
#*While on the subject of the title, no object called the Sticker Star ever appears in the game; the closest we ever got is the Sticker Comet. Though there is a mentioned place called the Sticker Star in the game.
#The game introduces the "Crumpled" status. While Mario can inflict it back at enemies and make spiny enemies safe to jump on, this status effect is incredibly annoying. It halves Mario's defense and makes him completely unable to act for a few turns, and bosses and a few generic enemies can cause this status effect. If Mario gets crumpled, expect him to be quickly killed.
#You do not gain any experience points (EXP) when you defeat enemies, instead gaining coins; the only way to level up in the game is to find HP Hearts within levels, which are often in such out-of-the-way places that you'll probably miss on your first playthrough. You also gain coins for completing a level, thus making them a pointless reward after each battle.
#The Battle Slots, which can be activated at the start of battles, is a nice concept, but it requires you to pay coins to use it and upgrade it to make it easier to play. Also, you can't choose which enemy you will attack with multiple attacks.
#Unlike most other ''Mario'' RPG's, new original species are practically nonexistent, considering all friendly NPC's are Toads (which, while they have their uses, are bland and forgettable) while new enemies are just uninspired versions of pre-existing ones.
#Bowser and Peach do not speak for the majority of the game, which is strange: Bowser only makes roars and growls, while Peach has no dialogue until the very end.
#Some levels are next to impossible to complete without a guide and usually involve VERY specific stickers from designated areas, but there is no indication of which ones you need. An example of this is most of World 3's levels requiring you to hunt down Wiggler's segments, which involves constant backtracking to progress the story and repetitive encounters/fights with said Wiggler Segments.
#Main bosses are difficult to defeat without specific Thing stickers; however, you likely won't know which ones you need without trial-and-error gameplay or a guide.
#*While on the topic of bosses, Kamek's later two fights will most likely be seen as annoying because he turns all of your stickers into Flip-Flop stickers, which makes it very easy to lose a sticker you treasure the most and are saving for later because all Flip-Flop stickers look identical.
#The post-game unlockables and galleries require you to pay for them using coins, which is unacceptable considering most other ''Mario'' post-game content (such as Secret Worlds) is available for free.
#Many of this game's elements (such as focus on paper, Thing stickers, not gaining EXP after battles, lack of proper RPG elements, generic Toad NPC's and boring plots) will carry over into ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash|Color Splash]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King|Origami King]]'', despite both games being better than this one.
== Qualities That Shine Brightly ==
#In fairness, a majority of the problems ''Sticker Star'' has can be attributed to Intelligent Systems wanting to take the ''Paper Mario'' series in a new direction, but failing in execution.
#The graphics are excellent for a 3DS game, and the character designs are as good as usual.
#The soundtrack isn't too bad, despite being inferior to most other ''Mario'' games.
#With the exception of not leveling up, the game still plays like a turn-based RPG.
#This game does the paper aesthetic best, especially when using Paperization to apply stickers and/or scraps to the field.
#The Things are creative and fun to use in battle or specific field areas, such as the Fan, Vacuum, Disco Ball, etc.
#After each main boss is defeated, a storybook cutscene plays explaining why they transformed into their boss forms.
== Reception ==
Despite receiving "generally favorable" reviews from critics (scoring 76/100 on Metacritic), ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'' received mixed-to-negative reviews from users and fans of the first three ''Paper Mario'' games (scoring 5.4/10) due to the changes made to the series, making it thought to be the weakest game in the series thus far.

==Why It Makes You Want To Play Soccer==
# The gameplay is extremely smooth, fun and addicting.
# EA genuinely cared for all of the modes when this game was released, as all of the modes were given improvement over ''FIFA 12''.
# A huge number of leagues and licensed teams to play as, such as AS Roma, Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, and more.
# Ultimate Team was at it's best in this game, as it wasn't overly pay to win, and you could easily make a profit by selling your players for a small price, this was also the last ''FIFA'' game to allow you to sell your starter team.
# Not many players feels like they are useless. A very small amount of players are useless.
# Most cards are also given decent value, some budget players such as Balotelli and Hernandez play very well.
# Despite the inclusion of packs, you could easily sell players without trouble to get some, and the feeling of pulling a good player was always amazing, as the pack rate was level in this game.
# Even career mode is very fun, especially if you play as Real Madrid or Barcelona.
# Scripting was not too much of an issue, very rarely would a game get scripted to help the opponent dominate the other.
# The stats of the players are usually accurate, so players like Ronaldo would feel as fast as they are supposed to, and the game is also mostly balanced.
# The game also introduced Team of the Season, a slightly weaker version of Team of the Year, which gave players a second chance to obtain players that are higher rated than their standard card.
# Using the Xbox 360's Kinect feature, the player can send voice commands such as commanding players to pass the ball to you, telling them to shoot or even changing tactics mid field.
# As usual with the ''FIFA'' franchise, the soundtrack is good, with indie rock, electronica, and world music.
==Bad Qualities==
# Some overpowered players, such as Esswein, Welliton, David Luiz, Reus, Ibarbo, Muriel, Felipe Santana and Emineke.
# Some underpowered players too, such as Weidenfeller, Julio Cesar, Vertonghen and Agger.
# Every time you want to change a formation, you have to buy formation cards for the team, too. So if you were playing in 4-1-2-1-2, and wanted to go to 4-3-3, you would have to buy 11 4-3-3 cards, which was thankfully fixed in ''FIFA 14.''
# The servers were shut down by EA out of nowhere in 2017, relegating the players to Kick Off and Career Mode, which is not really that bad.
# Some players can be very expensive to sign in Career Mode, making it nearly impossible to sign players like Ronaldo or Messi.
# Handicap (which is different from scripting) can be annoying, because if you play against a silver team, your defense will go all over the place and the game will assist them even if they are not struggling.
# Somewhat clunky and outdated menu design. This was also fixed in ''FIFA 14''.
# The game also introduced the infamous FIFA Points, which are overpriced to the brim, which made the game almost feel Pay-To-Win compared to FIFA 12, which would charge a painless $3 USD for a 15,000 Coin pack.
==Reception==
''FIFA 13'' received critical acclaim from critics and fans alike because of the awesome gameplay in particular. Eurogamer gave the game a 9/10. On Metacritic, the game has a weighted average of 88/100.

FIFA 21 has just announced its player ratings and it is controversial as most of the player ratings are either overrated or underrated. Such as Bayern Munich's squad.
==Issues with the player Ratings and Examples==
Many players are very off and some stats make no sense whatsoever. It felt like EA didnt watch any of the games as some bench players are the same rating as their starter and in the case of a few, have better stats. A few examples are listed below due of the overall not making sense.
#Sead Kolašinac and Kieran Tierney (both 78 rated)- Despite Tierney replacing Kolasinac half way threw the season because Kolasinac showed awful displays in a few games and not knowing what man marking is. According to FIFA Kolasinac is better in shooting, defence and physical despite in the games he has played he shot and defended worse then Tierney.
#Milton Casco (79 rated)- He has 81 dribbling! EA thinks Casco is has the same dribbling as Aubameyang, and has higher dribbling the Muller and Vardy. To make things worse Casco also has 88 pace making him the same pace as Vardy and faster then Sancho, Lodi and Messi.
#Manuel Neuer (89 rated) - He was part of the champions league winning team that lost 0 games. He is rated below Allison and Ter Stegen. When Barca played Bayern, Ter Stegen conceded 8 goals to Bayern and yet he is 90 rated.
#Keylor Navas (87 rated)- He won pretty much everything and has an amazing season only losing the Champions League final 1-0. Yet Handanovic and Ederson are rated higher with Handanovic having a good season, but winning 0 trophies.
#Salvatore Sirgu (84 rated)- Not a bad goalkeeper by any stretch but many better goalkeepers didn't get into the top 20. Alex Meret, David Ospina, and Gollini just to name a few in the Italian league. Some goalkeepers in different leagues like Ruili, Asenjo, and Dubravka had better seasons than Sirgu.
#Thiago and Thomas Müller (85 and 86 rated respectively)- Had an amazing season for Bayern Munich and is only 86 rated. He should be an 88 rated as Toni Kroos and Bruno Fernandes did not have a better season, yet they are higher rated. Even Pogba had a same rating despite being injured for part of the season.
#Eden Hazard (88 rated)- He was useless for Real Madrid and injured for most of the season. He only scored 1 goal this season with Vinicius Junior making him more threatening than Hazard this season.
#Jadon Sancho (87 rated)- Nothing really to complain about his rating, but how does Ciro Immobile have more pace than Sancho?
#Grimaldo and Pizzi (both 84 rated)- Pizzi and SL Benfica had a bad season and yet he is 84 rated? No one in the Benfica squad should be above an 82, yet Pizzi is an 84?
#Ciro Immobile (87 rated)- Immobile had an amazing season with Lazio and even beating Cristiano Ronaldo for the Serie A golden boot. Yet he is still lower rated than Harry Kane and Dybala when Kane had a worse season and Dybala had around the same impact.
#Pierre-Emerrick Aubameyang (87 rated)- He had an amazing season from a struggling Arsenal side and yet got a down grade. What's worse is that Harry Kane is rated one higher than him, While Kane’s season wasn't bad, it wasn't as good as Aubameyang’s.
#Timo Werner (85 rated)- This is the rating that makes the least amount of sense. He had a great season for RB Leipzig and pretty much carried them through the Champions League Semi Finals, and yet he gets no upgrades but a downgrade.
#Lucas Digne (84 rated)- How is he rated this highly? He had a bad season and Everton also had a terrible season as they under performed, yet he is still higher rated than Davis and Lodi.
#Kevin Trippier (83 rated)- Trippier had an alright season with Atletico and was in defense that when Atletico beat Liverpool. Yet he is only 83 rated and Grimaldo is 84 rated.
#Marcos Acuña (83 rated)- Acuna is a good leftback but he is not 83 rated material. Davies, Lodi, and Tierney all had better season yet they are lower rated. Acuna is around the same level as Milton Casco and Casco in FIFA 20 was 79 rated.
#Dani Parejo (85 rated)- The rating is deserved but there is one problem. All of his stats got improved and he went down 1 overall point from FIFA 20.
==Reception==
Fans and even the affected footballers were not happy with the player ratings as many people voiced their concerns about some of the ratings. Bayern Munich got the short end of the stick in most of these probably because of their agreement with PES, yet the Premier league had more players who were higher rated despite them struggling in European competitions. Fans have joked that Thiago will become 88 rated because he moved to Liverpool because EA rated the Premier League players higher.
The ratings were so poorly received that 442oons made fun of the ratings by making the players in the reaction video to the ratings mostly complain about their ratings.

On 9 September 2020, EA released the ratings of the Top 100 Players for ''FIFA 21'' and it is controversial as most of the player ratings are either overrated or underrated. Such as Bayern Munich's squad.
==Issues with the player Ratings and Examples==
Many players are very off and some stats make no sense whatsoever. It felt like EA didnt watch any of the games as some bench players are the same rating as their starter and in the case of a few, have better stats. A few examples are listed below due of the overall not making sense.
#Sead Kolašinac and Kieran Tierney (both 78 rated)- Despite Tierney replacing Kolasinac half way threw the season because Kolasinac showed awful displays in a few games and not knowing what man marking is. According to FIFA Kolasinac is better in shooting, defence and physical despite in the games he has played he shot and defended worse then Tierney.
#Milton Casco (79 rated)- He has 81 dribbling! EA thinks Casco is has the same dribbling as Aubameyang, and has higher dribbling the Muller and Vardy. To make things worse Casco also has 88 pace making him the same pace as Vardy and faster then Sancho, Lodi and Messi.
#Manuel Neuer (89 rated) - He was part of the champions league winning team that lost 0 games. He is rated below Allison and Ter Stegen. When Barca played Bayern, Ter Stegen conceded 8 goals to Bayern and yet he is 90 rated.
#Keylor Navas (87 rated)- He won pretty much everything and has an amazing season only losing the Champions League final 1-0. Yet Handanovic and Ederson are rated higher with Handanovic having a good season, but winning 0 trophies.
#Salvatore Sirgu (84 rated)- Not a bad goalkeeper by any stretch but many better goalkeepers didn't get into the top 20. Alex Meret, David Ospina, and Gollini just to name a few in the Italian league. Some goalkeepers in different leagues like Ruili, Asenjo, and Dubravka had better seasons than Sirgu.
#Thiago and Thomas Müller (85 and 86 rated respectively)- Had an amazing season for Bayern Munich and is only 86 rated. He should be an 88 rated as Toni Kroos and Bruno Fernandes did not have a better season, yet they are higher rated. Even Pogba had a same rating despite being injured for part of the season.
#Eden Hazard (88 rated)- He was useless for Real Madrid and injured for most of the season. He only scored 1 goal this season with Vinicius Junior making him more threatening than Hazard this season.
#Jadon Sancho (87 rated)- Nothing really to complain about his rating, but how does Ciro Immobile have more pace than Sancho?
#Grimaldo and Pizzi (both 84 rated)- Pizzi and SL Benfica had a bad season and yet he is 84 rated? No one in the Benfica squad should be above an 82, yet Pizzi is an 84?
#Ciro Immobile (87 rated)- Immobile had an amazing season with Lazio and even beating Cristiano Ronaldo for the Serie A golden boot. Yet he is still lower rated than Harry Kane and Dybala when Kane had a worse season and Dybala had around the same impact.
#Pierre-Emerrick Aubameyang (87 rated)- He had an amazing season from a struggling Arsenal side and yet got a down grade. What's worse is that Harry Kane is rated one higher than him, While Kane’s season wasn't bad, it wasn't as good as Aubameyang’s.
#Timo Werner (85 rated)- This is the rating that makes the least amount of sense. He had a great season for RB Leipzig and pretty much carried them through the Champions League Semi Finals, and yet he gets no upgrades but a downgrade.

'''''Dalmatians''''' is a series of "Puzzle Games" containing a film produced by [[Dingo Pictures]]. The games were developed by [[The Code Monkeys]] and initially published by Midas Interactive Entertainment, who published only the first game. Since 2003, [[Phoenix Games]] took over the publishing process of the ''Dalmatians'' games until the fourth one. This trilogy is unflattering for being part of the Phoenix games trilogy and is considered one of the worst trilogies of all time and also is responsible for the Phoenix's compilation trilogies existence.
== Plot ==
The plot is as simple as building a flail, first a group of Dalmanians meet each other and then they talk to each other, after the conversation they notice a cat and then they start chasing it, which then they end up in the city and talk to each other again, then they are seen by a bunch of angry black dogs and their starts to chase. Actually, that's all.
== Gameplay ==
The gameplay is very simple, it is a compilation of several minigames where you have to, for example, arrange a puzzle or match 2 of the same elements and there is also a movie available as in all other compilations from Phoenix Games.
== Why They Got Locked In The Pound ==
# It doesn't really count as a video game altogether with a few exceptions here and there, as each installment only contains a movie and a selection of basic minigames which clearly show the developers' lack of idea to create at least an arcade game.
#*And of course, you can't forget that all the mini-games are boring and repetitive like in other Phoenix Games compilations.
#On the topic of the movie, the movie's animation is absolutely dreadful and it looks like the animation was done very lazily and stop motion because the characters move really stiffly.
#The English dubbing is even worse than the animation, with only one or two voice actors in both (''Dalmatians 2'' however, has the worst voice acting between both) and lip-syncing that makes the lip-syncing in ''[[Sonic Adventure]]'' look good by comparison. Exactly as if the authors of the film did not have the budget to hire more actors and hired several to voice at least half of the characters.
#'''[[False advertising in games|False advertising]]:'''
#*In ''Dalmatians 3'', both Cruella De Vil, The Purple Fox, Pongo, and Perdita appear on the cover even though Cruella De Vil and said Purple Fox never appear anywhere in the game and Pongo and Perdite barely appears in the film. However, Pongo also barely appears in ''The Dalmatians'' but not in the sequel.
#*Also, there are far more dogs in the box art than in the entire movie, in which there are only 3.
#''Dalmatians 3'' isn't even a sequel, rather it's just a PS2 port of ''Dalmatians 2'', which also leads to False Advertising. The rare ''Dalmatians 4'' could also be the same thing as well.
#*After all, it's possible that the creators simply didn't want to put any effort into the animation and instead copied the movie to "part three" to save effort.
#In ''Dalmations 2'', there is a flashback sequence of the first game's story, which while not a bad idea to implementing a flashback, its unnecessary for Players who have just watch Dalmations previously, not to mention is that it lasts over '''8 minutes''' in this 45 minute film, it also serves no revetment to the plot what-so-ever and is completly forgotten about in the film, therefore, anyone can remove this scene from the film's plot entry and it would be the same .
##Also from some strange reason, even though they got the same voices, the flashback has been re-dubbed for no reason what-so-ever and is even missing a few lines from the original scenes, why couldn't they have record the original is beyond anyone's guess.
#Despite all the games having a '''3+''' by both PEGI and ELSPA, there is occasional profanity scattered throughout which can be demoralizing for such a small age group who are not yet very aware of the meaning of words and it can then scare others by the behavior of such children.
#*Such an example is in ''Dalmatians 2''/''Dalmatians 3'' where a German Shepherd dog says "''Oh that policeman, ohh he will be mad as hell!''".
#*There is also an inappropriate mishearing in one of the scenes with the dog with sunglasses, which sounds like he's saying "''Swallow my b*llocks!''".
#The ''Dalmatians 4'' box art, just like other Phoenix games on the Wii, is poorly-rendered and odd-looking and the characters look like the living dead that haven't started to rot yet.
#The movie for ''Dalmations 2'' is 45 minutes long (37 minutes if excluding the flashback). Like other Phoenix games on Compact Discs, by the time it finishes, the disc will be overheated and warped and will never play again.
#*It's already better than most other Phoenix movies, but still too short for a movie.
#While it looks like a rip-off of Disney's ''One Hundred and One Dalmatians'', it's most likely to be a blatant rip-off of the 1985 ''Pound Puppies'' TV Special and you can also see that it's pure cash grab made with very little effort licensed from a popular Disney movie.
#The plot looks very simple, even ridiculously simple and without any order or composition, just the animals mainly talk to each other and run around nowhere. Even a few-year-old would be able to come up with a more interesting plot.
#It teaches no skills or life lessons, which is unacceptable for a game rated '''3+''' and the developers didn't even know how to make a '''good''' game for children, they just put in enough content to be considered a game, if they didn't want to teach children.
#As with other compilations modeled on those from Phoenix Games, the menu looks very poor and at times it will be hard to figure out what even a minigame is.
#This trilogy was responsible for the infamous trilogy of game compilations that were released under the Phoenix Games banner.
#To make things even worst, the ''Dalmatian'' games were made in 2000, 2003, 2008 and 2009, and games that were made during those years look better then this.
==Redeeming Qualities==
#While these games are bad, at least the soundtracks for all four games are decent.
#Like all the other movies from Phoenix Games, the movies in this trilogy have the syndrome of movies so bad they are good.
==Reception==
While going unnoticed by critics, the game received an overwhelmingly negative reception from gamers and online reviewers, and was remembered as the beginning of a trilogy of compilations from Phoenix Games, as well as being considered one of the worst game trilogies of all time and heavily panned by YouTubers.
NRGeek found one of the Dalmatians builds to be one of the weirdest and dumbest things he's ever seen.

}}'''''Tunnel Rats: 1968''''' (also simply known as ''Tunnel Rats'') is a first-person shooter video game developed by Replay Studios and published by [[Uwe Boll]] under the name Boll AG on May 15, 2009. It serves as a direct video-game tie-in to the critically acclaimed but commercially unsuccessful movie of the same name directed by Boll. It was released on Microsoft Windows-based computers, and an Xbox 360 version was planned, but cancelled. This game, along with [[Velvet Assassin]], are considered the final nails in the company's coffin and also one of the worst FPS games of all-time if not one of the worst games of all-time. A port for the Xbox 360 was planned but was cancelled for unknown reasons.
== Plot ==
Brooks is an American G.I. serving in the Vietnam War who is sent on a mission to clear the Vietcong tunnels. However, his helicopter is shot down, leaving Brooks stranded in the jungle as the only surviving member of his platoon. Brooks is forced to fight the war alone and neutralize the situation there.
== Gameplay ==
The game consists of 8 levels, each of which consists in dismantling mines so that they do not explode and eliminating opponents. The player goes underground wherever there are mines, often passing through tight tunnels as well as going outside. It's actually the whole game.
== Why It Should Be Shot Down and Stranded In The Jungle ==
# The menu looks incredibly cheaply made, and while the controls are plentiful, the same cannot be said for the graphics or audio settings.
# The voice acting is terrible to the point that you get the impression that it was literally recorded in an old dirty and smelly basement, and literally none of the actors come from the movie, but rather they sound like random people picked somewhere from the street. It's really hard to find worse voice acting than this.
# The main character, Brooks, is very foul-mouthed, deranged and racist. He never shuts up and will repeat the same quotes over and over, which makes him irritating very quickly on frustrating or boring missions.
# Horrendous graphics and textures for a game that was released in 2009 (the same year as titles such as ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', ''[[Batman: Arkham Asylum]], [[Halo 3: ODST]], [[Uncharted 2]]'' and ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009)]]'') making the game look like a low budget Original Xbox, PlayStation 2, GameCube or Dreamcast game, with plastic looking weapons and character models. The game looks like it was released in 2000 at the best. It's just as bad as [[Turning Point: Fall of Liberty]]
# Terrible optimization with frequent frame-rate drops because it can drop to as low as 15fps, which at times makes the game absolutely unplayable, especially on the hardware created when the game was released.
# The enemy AI is incredibly stupid as it tries to shoot at the enemy but doesn't look for a better shooting position it just stands still and blindly fires, sometimes not even noticing the player as if they weren't there at all. For this reason, they are incredibly easy to eliminate because they often miss even if the player is only slightly covered. The worst AI, however, have the cutthroats in the tunnels because they do not approach the player at all when they notice them, and when the player moves away, they forget about him as if he was not there.
# Some of the worst level designs you'll find in a first person shooter, just 8 levels literally all of which look pretty much the same.
# Despite the fact that the game has countless weapons, you can only carry 3 weapons with you, literally like in [[Wolfenstein 3D]] which came out 17 years earlier, which is totally unforgivable.
# The game literally looks unfinished because it has so many bugs and shortcomings that you could write multi-volume novels about them, for example, the player can pass through walls so that he can, for example, get to other rooms faster or escape off the map very easily. Sometimes enemy corpses also appear out of nowhere and disappear when the player gets close or far away, not to mention grenades don't explode at all when the player dies and the game also crashes very often.
# The game is very short, as you can finish all of the eight levels in less than 4 hours because all of these levels can be beaten in only 30 minutes.
# Non-existent physics, meaning you can easily scale up super-steep hills just by walking along it, in the same style as the horses in ''[[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim|Skyrim]]''.
# The plot is incredibly simplistic compared to the movie, because basically a generic soldier is just the sole survivor of a helicopter crash in Vietnam during the Vietnam War. There is absolutely no information about the character or any development of the plot in the form of cutscenes or anything else, just boring voice actors that quickly become annoying.
# To heal yourself, you must cut off the enemies ears. And if that wasn't gross enough, you must locate a very specific point on the ears to cut them, making it a tedious task.
# The Steam header is literally just the movie's DVD cover in landscape mode and with a really shoddy Photoshop job!
# The gameplay is incredibly boring, repetitive and schematic because it literally just consists of going underground, dismantling all mines and shooting enemies, and then exiting the underground and so on. This is what all the levels are about, they are so repetitive that you can even get the impression that you are going through the same level all the time.
== Redeeming Qualities ==
# The idea of making a psychological first-person shooter based on the original movie was great, but poorly executed.
# The game's soundtrack is decent, although it doesn't save the game from this abomination anyway.
== Reception ==
The game was met with generally unfavorable reviews, receiving criticism for its poor writing and voice acting, the annoying voice lines of the protagonist, monotonous tunnel environments and an excessive use of booby traps as a mechanic, particularly the extreme precision required in order to disarm traps, inaccurate gun sights, dated graphics, and its extremely short length. Reviewers also noted several major bugs, such as grenades ceasing to function if the player dies, and the ability for the player to clip into inescapable areas of a map not usually accessible.
GameSpot criticized the portrayal of the player character Brooks as a stranded U.S. soldier with "clumsy and inconsistent" writing and voice acting. The ability to gain health by removing the ears from the corpses of Vietnamese soldiers was considered to be both in poor taste and frustrating, citing a need to locate an exact point on the ear in order to collect it.
IGN gave the game a 3.8 out of ten, saying that "The action is predictable, the visuals are merely passable, and the main hero is such a jumble of hate and regret that it's impossible to ever really care if he makes it out of the jungle alive. Spare yourself instead and pass on this one".
Rock Paper Shotgun opened its review by acknowledging Uwe Boll's reputation for directing poorly-received film adaptations of video game franchises, and that Tunnel Rats was "excruciatingly, bewilderingly bad"; due to bugs, the reviewer was unable to make it past the second level. GamesRadar similarly criticized the game for being a "nauseating mess from start to finish", but jokingly claimed the game itself was better than Uwe Boll's films.
Tunnel Rats holds an aggregate score of 30/100 on Metacritic based on 7 reviews and an user score of only 3.4 out of 10. The game is considered as one of the worst games of the year and compared to [[Stalin vs Martians]] and also one of the worst FPS games of all-time and even one of the worst games of all-time.

'''''D.i.R.T.: Origin of the Species''''' (known as '''''Eva Cash: Project D.i.R.T.''''' in Europe) is a 2006 action-adventure video game developed by Nu Generation Games and co-published by Tri Synergy and [[Deep Silver]] in North America, and Nobilis in Europe for [[mh:awesomegames:Microsoft Windows]].
The [[mh:awesomegames:PlayStation 2]] version was also planned, but was cancelled for unknown reasons.<ref>The cancelled PlayStation 2 version - GameFAQs: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/934476-dirt-origin-of-the-species</ref>
== Plot ==
Eva Cash, called D.i.R.T., who gets knocked out after a party. She wakes up in a prison cell and the first thing she sees is a gigantic bug who eats a dead policemen. Now her quest is to find out what happened to her.<ref>https://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/dirt-origin-of-the-species</ref>
== Gameplay ==
The game is a third-person shooter, where you have to go through mostly linear stages as D.i.R.T., looking for an exit.
== Why It Sucks ==
# The main menu looks weak with a little effort.
#* First, you can see the background in the form of a video clip from the game trailer, where a similar situation was in ''The Heat of War'' (except that there were clips from the war chronicle about Iwo Jima).
#* The font offered in the main menu (as well as in the entire game) is the standard Windows font called Impact.
#* Any irrelevant options were added to the popup when starting the game, such as "Enable Ambient Light Compensation Control" if that means anything at all, "Disable Sound System" which is also questionable, "Full Weapons Cheat Enabled" which only aims to facilitate the gameplay by supposedly giving an infinite amount of ammunition, rendering the ammo shop unusable (mentioned later in), and "First-Person Cheat" instead of "FPP Mode", "First-Person Perspective Mode" or something else.
# The storyline is inhumanly stupid. You learn the story when, after kicking Eva Cash out of the party, she wakes up in a cell in New York and discovers that the entire city is overrun with terrifying insects. In that Nevada, the Project G.I.Ants (the project involving mutating insects) experiment took place.
# The game is supposed to be partially an RPG, although the gameplay is limited only to brainless killing of cannon fodder, meaning insects, and the execution of banal puzzles, which every underdeveloped person would have no difficulty with.
# The cutscenes look pathetic, sub-par with ''[[Drake of the 99 Dragons]]'' and ''[[Aquaman: Battle for Atlantis]]''.
#* First, it offers animated cutscenes reminiscent of the times of [[mh:awesomegames:Sony PlayStation|the first PlayStation]], like Drake.
#* Ending on the cutscenes in the form of a comic, which, like the above mentioned ''Aquaman'', offers hideous renders, instead of hand-drawn scenes, as is usually the case in standard comics.
# The shop offered in the game is pointless. The only thing the store has at its disposal are ammunition and guns. In the case of ammos, you can rarely lose a full magazine, and additionally there is a cheat for infinite ammunition (which can be found after starting the game in configurations).
# Almost every skills are useless.
#* '''T.K.Throw''' offers to pick up and throw elements of the environment, but then the controls of the main character becomes clunky.
#* '''T.K.Flak''' does absolutely nothing except sending out glowing stars.
#* '''Spin Accelerator''' allows you to spin and shoot at the same time, but aiming is difficult, which will barely shoot at the given opponent.
#* When using the '''Razor Disk''' and '''Super Dodge''' skills, an animations appear that are only extend the gameplay by using bullet times.
#* '''Pyrokinesis''', which only aims to ignite the elements of the environment, but somehow you can't ignite the enemies.
#* The '''Shield''' seems to be able to protect you, but when you activate the skill, you stand still.
# The graphics look terrible by 2006 standards and the game is more like a product released in the late 90's than as previously mentioned, when the game came out. The quality of the textures are the resolutions of the postage stamp, combining with the vomit thrown on the monitor. The shadows are cut from the plywood curve, which are angular to the point that in closed levels, for some reason, they are just a heavily bold line. The special effects look hideous that they are causing eye-bleeding. And the number of character and enemy model polygons is pitifully low by as many as [[Valve Corporation|Valve]] can count.
# Horrendous animations that seem like a paralytic stuffed with ecstasy.
# The soundtrack is abysmal and is limited to obnoxious to listen to techno hammer from the main menu and cacofonic music during the gameplay.
# The sound effects are a show of embarrassment as well as the developers' laziness. The weapon sounds (shooting and reloading), similar to ''[[Antikiller]]'', are perfidiously stolen from ''Counter-Strike'', the sounds of an insects' attack resemble traditional methods of clearing throat secretions, and the marines' posthumous noises are pathetically artificial and more like noises taken from sex tape, ending on a teddy bear, which is probably a backpack, making annoying noises every few seconds.
# The voice acting is very bad that can be at least comparable to ''[[Ride to Hell: Retribution]]'', sounding like it was being recorded in a basement on a voice recorder one day before the game's release.
# Horrible physics, admirable from Jupiter, especially when the boxes are pushed.
# The controls are bad and extremely stiff. The worst is when walking, because the character moves too fast, and shooting, which is difficult due to the high sensitivity.
# The artificial intelligence of the opponents is overwhelming with its ineptitude.
#* The insects just follow a straight line (even if you turn), rarely trying to attack you, and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFjJUulHgyU&t=274s they sometimes block each other].
#* Government agents and commandos were also poorly gifted with intelligence. When they see you, they freeze in place and run to all parts of the world for an undefined reason.
# Unrealistic hit system, especially noticeable with a shotgun, from which you can shoot almost perfectly, even from a long distance.
# The missions aren't very interesting, and as mentioned above, limited to activities like in average third-person shooters.
#* Speaking of missions, some can be completed at least in less than 30 seconds.
# The game itself is aware that it is bad and does not hide the quality of production, standard fonts were used, not only in the main menu where Impact was used, but throughout the game. Even Comic Sans was used during the game, where this is most noticeable when seeing your abovementioned skills.
# Editing captions, while killing a given enemy, look extremely amateur, looking as if they were edited in early versions of Camtasia Studio or even Windows Movie Maker.
# The save system, even though it works correctly, when you are in the mission, even before its end and you want to save, after starting the save, you start the level from scratch, in which you used the save.
# The game has some bugs and glitches.
#* During the mission in Area 51, you can [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFjJUulHgyU&t=809s spot helicopters limping at the hangars mercilessly back and forth].
#* When you run the animation that appears after using Super Dodge and stop the animation while it is running, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFjJUulHgyU&t=820s the camera freezes in place and you have no control over it].
#* When one of the officers dies, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFjJUulHgyU&t=833s he gets up] for some reason, even though the mission has failed.
== The Only Redeeming Quality ==
# '''Magic Bullet''' is the only useful skill that is satisfying and fun to use.

=== Critical reception ===
The game received an overwhelmingly negative reception among critics, posting almost mostly negative reviews.
Russian website ''Absolute Games'' (ag.ru) took pity to such an extent that they gave an inflated 40%, summarizing "The Woe Masters tried to shove a lot of shiny gears into the Origin of the Species, but forgot to check their interaction. While Valve is presenting a genuine Swiss watch with jewelery to the public, D.i.R.T.'s parents are proud to bring out the lopsided Big Ben with a constantly bursting spring, jamming mechanisms and arrows going in different directions. Sad sight."<ref name="AGru"/>
German website ''Krawall Gaming Network'' gave an 8/100, saying "I can only urgently appeal to your common sense not to mess with Eva Cash. As attractive as the "lady" may be at first glance (chic cover!), She is just as scratchy on the second, third, fourth and all others. I can't remember having had as little fun (almost zero!) In a game in recent years. Whether this is due to the non-functioning game mechanics, the terrible technology or the stupid heroine? The truth is somewhere in the middle. In a nutshell: Stay away from this virtual junk in polygon form!"<ref name="MobyGames"/>
== Trivia ==
* In the German version all blood and the razor blades were removed. Additionally headshot notifications were renamed to "Schnelligkeits-Kill" (Swiftness Kill) or "Tarn-Kill" (Camouflage Kill) when using a sniper rifle.<ref>https://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/dirt-origin-of-the-species</ref>

'''''D.i.R.T.: Origin of the Species''''' (known as '''''Eva Cash: Project D.i.R.T.''''' in Europe) is a 2006 action-adventure video game developed by Nu Generation Games and co-published by Tri Synergy and [[Deep Silver]] in North America, and Nobilis in Europe for Microsoft Windows.
The PlayStation 2 version was also planned, but was cancelled for unknown reasons, probably because of poor reception.<ref>The cancelled PlayStation 2 version - GameFAQs: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/934476-dirt-origin-of-the-species</ref>
== Plot ==
Eva Cash, called D.i.R.T., who gets knocked out after a party. She wakes up in a prison cell and the first thing she sees is a gigantic bug who eats a dead policemen. Now her quest is to find out what happened to her.<ref>https://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/dirt-origin-of-the-species</ref>
== Gameplay ==
The game is a third-person shooter, where you have to go through mostly linear stages as D.i.R.T., looking for an exit.
== Why It Sucks ==
# The main menu looks weak with a little effort.
#* First, you can see the background in the form of a video clip from the game trailer, where a similar situation was in ''The Heat of War'' (except that there were clips from the war chronicle about Iwo Jima).
#* The font offered in the main menu (as well as in the entire game) is the standard Windows font called Impact.
#* Any irrelevant options were added to the popup when starting the game, such as "Enable Ambient Light Compensation Control" if that means anything at all, "Disable Sound System" which is also questionable, "Full Weapons Cheat Enabled" which only aims to facilitate the gameplay by supposedly giving an infinite amount of ammunition, rendering the ammo shop unusable (mentioned later in), and "First-Person Cheat" instead of "FPP Mode", "First-Person Perspective Mode" or something else.
# The storyline is inhumanly stupid. You learn the story when, after kicking Eva Cash out of the party, she wakes up in a cell in New York and discovers that the entire city is overrun with terrifying insects. In that Nevada, the Project G.I.Ants (the project involving mutating insects) experiment took place.
# The game is supposed to be partially an RPG, although the gameplay is limited only to brainless killing of cannon fodder, meaning insects, and the execution of banal puzzles, which every underdeveloped person would have no difficulty with.
# The cutscenes look pathetic, sub-par with ''[[Drake of the 99 Dragons]]'' and ''[[Aquaman: Battle for Atlantis]]''.
#* First, it offers animated cutscenes reminiscent of the times of [[mh:awesomegames:Sony PlayStation|the first PlayStation]], like Drake.
#* Ending on the cutscenes in the form of a comic, which, like the above mentioned ''Aquaman'', offers hideous renders, instead of hand-drawn scenes, as is usually the case in standard comics.
# The shop offered in the game is pointless. The only thing the store has at its disposal are ammunition and guns. In the case of ammos, you can rarely lose a full magazine, and additionally there is a cheat for infinite ammunition (which can be found after starting the game in configurations).
# Almost every skills are useless.
#* '''T.K.Throw''' offers to pick up and throw elements of the environment, but then the controls of the main character becomes clunky.
#* '''T.K.Flak''' does absolutely nothing except sending out glowing stars.
#* '''Spin Accelerator''' allows you to spin and shoot at the same time, but aiming is difficult, which will barely shoot at the given opponent.
#* When using the '''Razor Disk''' and '''Super Dodge''' skills, an animations appear that are only extend the gameplay by using bullet times.
#* '''Pyrokinesis''', which only aims to ignite the elements of the environment, but somehow you can't ignite the enemies.
#* The '''Shield''' seems to be able to protect you, but when you activate the skill, you stand still.
# The graphics look terrible by 2006 standards and the game is more like a product released in the late 90's than as previously mentioned, when the game came out. The quality of the textures are the resolutions of the postage stamp, combining with the vomit thrown on the monitor. The shadows are cut from the plywood curve, which are angular to the point that in closed levels, for some reason, they are just a heavily bold line. The special effects look hideous that they are causing eye-bleeding. And the number of character and enemy model polygons is pitifully low by as many as [[Valve Corporation|Valve]] can count.
# Horrendous animations that seem like a paralytic stuffed with ecstasy.
# The soundtrack is abysmal and is limited to obnoxious to listen to techno hammer from the main menu and cacofonic music during the gameplay.
# The sound effects are a show of embarrassment as well as the developers' laziness. The weapon sounds (shooting and reloading), similar to ''[[Antikiller]]'', are perfidiously stolen from ''Counter-Strike'', the sounds of an insects' attack resemble traditional methods of clearing throat secretions, and the marines' posthumous noises are pathetically artificial and more like noises taken from sex tape, ending on a teddy bear, which is probably a backpack, making annoying noises every few seconds.
# The voice acting is very bad that can be at least comparable to ''[[Ride to Hell: Retribution]]'', sounding like it was being recorded in a basement on a voice recorder one day before the game's release.
# Horrible physics, admirable from Jupiter, especially when the boxes are pushed.
# The controls are bad and extremely stiff. The worst is when walking, because the character moves too fast, and shooting, which is difficult due to the high sensitivity.
# The artificial intelligence of the opponents is overwhelming with its ineptitude.
#* The insects just follow a straight line (even if you turn), rarely trying to attack you, and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFjJUulHgyU&t=274s they sometimes block each other].
#* Government agents and commandos were also poorly gifted with intelligence. When they see you, they freeze in place and run to all parts of the world for an undefined reason.
# Unrealistic hit system, especially noticeable with a shotgun, from which you can shoot almost perfectly, even from a long distance.
# The missions aren't very interesting, and as mentioned above, limited to activities like in average third-person shooters.
#* Speaking of missions, some can be completed at least in less than 30 seconds.
# The game itself is aware that it is bad and does not hide the quality of production, standard fonts were used, not only in the main menu where Impact was used, but throughout the game. Even Comic Sans was used during the game, where this is most noticeable when seeing your abovementioned skills.
# Editing captions, while killing a given enemy, look extremely amateur, looking as if they were edited in early versions of Camtasia Studio or even Windows Movie Maker.
# The save system, even though it works correctly, when you are in the mission, even before its end and you want to save, after starting the save, you start the level from scratch, in which you used the save.
# The game has some bugs and glitches.
#* During the mission in Area 51, you can [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFjJUulHgyU&t=809s spot helicopters limping at the hangars mercilessly back and forth].
#* When you run the animation that appears after using Super Dodge and stop the animation while it is running, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFjJUulHgyU&t=820s the camera freezes in place and you have no control over it].
#* When one of the officers dies, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFjJUulHgyU&t=833s he gets up] for some reason, even though the mission has failed.
== The Only Redeeming Quality ==
# '''Magic Bullet''' is the only useful skill that is satisfying and fun to use.

=== Critical reception ===
The game received an overwhelmingly negative reception among critics, posting almost mostly negative reviews.
Russian website ''Absolute Games'' (ag.ru) took pity to such an extent that they gave an inflated 40%, summarizing "The Woe Masters tried to shove a lot of shiny gears into the Origin of the Species, but forgot to check their interaction. While Valve is presenting a genuine Swiss watch with jewelery to the public, D.i.R.T.'s parents are proud to bring out the lopsided Big Ben with a constantly bursting spring, jamming mechanisms and arrows going in different directions.

* In the German version all blood and the razor blades were removed. Additionally headshot notifications were renamed to "Schnelligkeits-Kill" (Swiftness Kill) or "Tarn-Kill" (Camouflage Kill) when using a sniper rifle.<ref>https://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/dirt-origin-of-the-species</ref>

#* Any irrelevant options were added to the popup when starting the game, such as "Enable Ambient Light Compensation Control" if that means anything at all, "Disable Sound System" which is also questionable, "Full Weapons Cheat Enabled" which only aims to facilitate the gameplay by supposedly giving an infinite amount of ammunition, rendering the ammo shop unusable (mentioned later in), and "First-Person Cheat" instead of "FPP Mode", "First-Person Perspective Mode" or something else.
# The storyline is inhumanly stupid.

#* Ending on the cutscenes in the form of a comic, which, like the above mentioned ''Aquaman'', offers hideous renders, instead of hand-drawn scenes, as is usually the case in standard comics.

The shadows are cut from the plywood curve, which are angular to the point that in closed levels, for some reason, they are just a heavily bold line.

'''''D.i.R.T.: Origin of the Species''''' (known as '''''Eva Cash: Project D.i.R.T.''''' in Europe) is a 2006 action-adventure video game developed by Nu Generation Games and co-published by Tri Synergy and [[Deep Silver]] in North America, and Nobilis in Europe for Microsoft Windows.
The PlayStation 2 version was also planned, but was cancelled for unknown reasons, probably because of poor reception.<ref>The cancelled PlayStation 2 version - GameFAQs: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/934476-dirt-origin-of-the-species</ref>
== Plot ==
Eva Cash, called D.i.R.T., who gets knocked out after a party. She wakes up in a prison cell and the first thing she sees is a gigantic bug who eats a dead policemen. Now her quest is to find out what happened to her.<ref>https://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/dirt-origin-of-the-species</ref>
== Gameplay ==
The game is a third-person shooter, where you have to go through mostly linear stages as D.i.R.T., looking for an exit.

=== Critical reception ===
The game received an overwhelmingly negative reception among critics, posting almost mostly negative reviews (with only few mixed) and no positive ones.
Russian website ''Absolute Games'' (ag.ru) took pity to such an extent that they gave an inflated 40%, summarizing "The Woe Masters tried to shove a lot of shiny gears into the Origin of the Species, but forgot to check their interaction.

Sad sight."<ref name="AGru"/>
German website ''Krawall Gaming Network'' gave an 8/100, saying "I can only urgently appeal to your common sense not to mess with Eva Cash.

'''''D.i.R.T.: Origin of the Species''''' (known as '''''Eva Cash: Project D.i.R.T.''''' in Europe) is a 2006 action-adventure video game developed by Nu Generation Games and co-published by Tri Synergy and [[Deep Silver]] in North America, and Nobilis in Europe for Microsoft Windows.
The PlayStation 2 version was also planned, but was cancelled for unknown reasons, probably because of poor reception.<ref>The cancelled PlayStation 2 version - GameFAQs: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/934476-dirt-origin-of-the-species</ref>
== Plot ==
Eva Cash, called D.i.R.T., who gets knocked out after a party. She wakes up in a prison cell and the first thing she sees is a gigantic bug who eats a dead policemen. Now her quest is to find out what happened to her.<ref>https://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/dirt-origin-of-the-species</ref>
== Gameplay ==
The game is a third-person shooter, where you have to go through mostly linear stages as D.i.R.T., looking for an exit.
== Why It Sucks ==
# The main menu looks weak with a little effort.
#* First, you can see the background in the form of a video clip from the game trailer, where a similar situation was in ''The Heat of War'' (except that there were clips from the war chronicle about Iwo Jima).
#* The font offered in the main menu (as well as in the entire game) is the standard Windows font called Impact.
#* Any irrelevant options were added to the popup when starting the game, such as "Enable Ambient Light Compensation Control" if that means anything at all, "Disable Sound System" which is also questionable, "Full Weapons Cheat Enabled" which only aims to facilitate the gameplay by supposedly giving an infinite amount of ammunition, rendering the ammo shop unusable (mentioned later in), and "First-Person Cheat" instead of "FPP Mode", "First-Person Perspective Mode" or something else.
# The storyline is inhumanly stupid. You learn the story when, after kicking Eva Cash out of the party, she wakes up in a cell in New York and discovers that the entire city is overrun with terrifying insects. In that Nevada, the Project G.I.Ants (the project involving mutating insects) experiment took place.
# The game is supposed to be partially an RPG, although the gameplay is limited only to brainless killing of cannon fodder, meaning insects, and the execution of banal puzzles, which every underdeveloped person would have no difficulty with.
# The cutscenes look pathetic, sub-par with ''[[Drake of the 99 Dragons]]'' and ''[[Aquaman: Battle for Atlantis]]''.
#* First, it offers animated cutscenes reminiscent of the times of [[mh:awesomegames:Sony PlayStation|the first PlayStation]], like Drake.
#* Ending on the cutscenes in the form of a comic, which, like the above mentioned ''Aquaman'', offers hideous renders, instead of hand-drawn scenes, as is usually the case in standard comics.
# The shop offered in the game is pointless. The only thing the store has at its disposal are ammunition and guns. In the case of ammos, you can rarely lose a full magazine, and additionally there is a cheat for infinite ammunition (which can be found after starting the game in configurations).
# Almost every skills are useless.
#* '''T.K.Throw''' offers to pick up and throw elements of the environment, but then the controls of the main character becomes clunky.
#* '''T.K.Flak''' does absolutely nothing except sending out glowing stars.
#* '''Spin Accelerator''' allows you to spin and shoot at the same time, but aiming is difficult, which will barely shoot at the given opponent.
#* When using the '''Razor Disk''' and '''Super Dodge''' skills, an animations appear that are only extend the gameplay by using bullet times.
#* '''Pyrokinesis''', which only aims to ignite the elements of the environment, but somehow you can't ignite the enemies.
#* The '''Shield''' seems to be able to protect you, but when you activate the skill, you stand still.
# The graphics look terrible by 2006 standards and the game is more like a product released in the late 90's than as previously mentioned, when the game came out. The quality of the textures are the resolutions of the postage stamp, combining with the vomit thrown on the monitor. The shadows are cut from the plywood curve, which are angular to the point that in closed levels, for some reason, they are just a heavily bold line. The special effects look hideous that they are causing eye-bleeding. And the number of character and enemy model polygons is pitifully low by as many as [[Valve Corporation|Valve]] can count.
# Horrendous animations that seem like a paralytic stuffed with ecstasy.
# The soundtrack is abysmal and is limited to obnoxious to listen to techno hammer from the main menu and cacofonic music during the gameplay.
# The sound effects are a show of embarrassment as well as the developers' laziness. The weapon sounds (shooting and reloading), similar to ''[[Antikiller]]'', are perfidiously stolen from ''Counter-Strike'', the sounds of an insects' attack resemble traditional methods of clearing throat secretions, and the marines' posthumous noises are pathetically artificial and more like noises taken from sex tape, ending on a teddy bear, which is probably a backpack, making annoying noises every few seconds.
# The voice acting is very bad that can be at least comparable to ''[[Ride to Hell: Retribution]]'', sounding like it was being recorded in a basement on a voice recorder one day before the game's release.
# Horrible physics, admirable from Jupiter, especially when the boxes are pushed.
# The controls are bad and extremely stiff. The worst is when walking, because the character moves too fast, and shooting, which is difficult due to the high sensitivity.
# The artificial intelligence of the opponents is overwhelming with its ineptitude.
#* The insects just follow a straight line (even if you turn), rarely trying to attack you, and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFjJUulHgyU&t=274s they sometimes block each other].
#* Government agents and commandos were also poorly gifted with intelligence. When they see you, they freeze in place and run to all parts of the world for an undefined reason.
# Unrealistic hit system, especially noticeable with a shotgun, from which you can shoot almost perfectly, even from a long distance.
# The missions aren't very interesting, and as mentioned above, limited to activities like in average third-person shooters.
#* Speaking of missions, some can be completed at least in less than 30 seconds.
# The game itself is aware that it is bad and does not hide the quality of production, standard fonts were used, not only in the main menu where Impact was used, but throughout the game. Even Comic Sans was used during the game, where this is most noticeable when seeing your abovementioned skills.
# Editing captions, while killing a given enemy, look extremely amateur, looking as if they were edited in early versions of Camtasia Studio or even Windows Movie Maker.
# The save system, even though it works correctly, when you are in the mission, even before its end and you want to save, after starting the save, you start the level from scratch, in which you used the save.
# The game has some bugs and glitches.
#* During the mission in Area 51, you can [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFjJUulHgyU&t=809s spot helicopters limping at the hangars mercilessly back and forth].
#* When you run the animation that appears after using Super Dodge and stop the animation while it is running, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFjJUulHgyU&t=820s the camera freezes in place and you have no control over it].
#* When one of the officers dies, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFjJUulHgyU&t=833s he gets up] for some reason, even though the mission has failed.
== Redeeming Qualities ==
# '''Magic Bullet''' is the only useful skill that is satisfying and fun to use.
# At least the front cover looks kinda decent.

"'''Footballers Try to End Lamine Yamal'''" (stylised as '''Footballers try to END Lamine Yamal💀''') is the 11th and final webisode of the eighth season of 442oons' web series ''Frontmen''. It was uploaded to YouTube on November 24, 2024. It currently has 1,179,429 views.
==Why It Should Be Killed==
#First of all, it is a Lamine Yamal torture episode, as the footballers try to kill him without any good reason.
#*And speaking of the reasons, the reasons the footballers give out are just plain ridiculous and dumb, with the notable examples being is that he stopped Neymar from believing in Santa, stopped Darwin Nunez and Kylian Mbappé from being onsides, and that he stopped Ronaldo from winning the World Cup, even though Lamine Yamal has never played in a World Cup at the time the video was uploaded.
#All the characters in the video except for Yamal and Erling Haaland are very unlikable as they attempt to kill Lamine Yamal for ridiculous reasons mentioned above.
#*And what's worse is that in the video, Yamal is portrayed as a '''toddler'''.
#It's basically the 442oons version of "[[The Boys of Bummer (The Simpsons)|The Boys of Bummer]]" from ''[[The Simpsons (seasons 11-31)|The Simpsons]]'' as both this episode and the aforementioned episode from ''The Simpsons'' are just plain harassment towards younger-aged characters for ridiculous reasons related to sports.
#'''Unexplained plot hole''': How do the footballers all know where Yamal and Haaland are?
#'''Bad ending''': When it looks like Yamal is going to survive at the end, Ronaldo unfortunately comes out of the nowhere with a wrecking ball that crushes both Yamal and Haaland when the winner is announced.
#It ended the eighth season of ''Frontmen'' on a poor note and is one its worst webisodes.
==The Only Redeeming Quality==
#Lamine Yamal and Erling Haaland are likable characters.

'''''[[wikipedia:SpongeBob SquarePants|SpongeBob SquarePants]]''''', also simply referred to as '''''SpongeBob''''', is an American animated comedy television series created by former marine biologist and animator Stephen Hillenburg for Nickelodeon. It is chronologically the tenth Nicktoon to debut. The series is produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio and United Plankton Pictures, Inc. The series chronicles the adventures and endeavors of an accident-prone yellow sea sponge and his various friends in the fictional underwater city of Bikini Bottom. The series' popularity has made it a media franchise, as well as the highest-rated series to ever air on Nickelodeon and the most distributed property of MTV Networks. As of 2015, the media franchise has generated $13 billion in merchandising revenue for Nickelodeon and is currently one of the most well-known and beloved franchises and cartoons to date.
==Premise==
A square yellow sea sponge named SpongeBob SquarePants lives in a pineapple with his pet snail, Gary, in the city of Bikini Bottom on the floor of the Pacific Ocean. He works as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab. During his time off, SpongeBob has a knack for attracting trouble with his starfish best friend, Patrick. An arrogant squid, Squidward Tentacles, SpongeBob's neighbor, dislikes SpongeBob (and also Patrick) because of his childlike behavior.
SpongeBob's boss, Mr. Krabs, is obsessed with money and his rival Plankton is looking to steal the Krabby Patty formula to make the Chum Bucket successful. There are also other characters such as Sandy Cheeks, a squirrel living in a treedome who is fond of science and karate, Larry the Lobster and lots more.
==Creation==
===Origins===
Series creator Stephen Hillenburg first became fascinated with the ocean as a child and began developing his artistic abilities at a young age. Although these interests would not overlap for some time—the idea of drawing fish seemed boring to him—Hillenburg pursued both during college, majoring in marine biology and minoring in art. After graduating in 1984, he joined the Ocean Institute, an organization in Dana Point, California, dedicated to educating the public about marine science and maritime history.
While Hillenburg was there, his love of the ocean began to influence his artistry. He created a precursor to SpongeBob SquarePants: a comic book titled The Intertidal Zone used by the institute to teach visiting students about the animal life of tide pools. The comic starred various anthropomorphic sea lifeforms, many of which would evolve into SpongeBob SquarePants characters. Hillenburg tried to get the comic professionally published, but none of the companies he sent it to were interested.
A large inspiration to Hillenburg was Ween's 1997 album The Mollusk, which had a nautical and underwater theme. Hillenburg contacted the band shortly after the album's release, explaining the baseline ideas for SpongeBob SquarePants, and also requested a song from the band, which they sent on Christmas Eve. This song was "Loop de Loop", which was used in the episode "Your Shoe's Untied".
===Conception===
While working as a staff artist at the Ocean Institute, Hillenburg entertained plans to return eventually to college for a master's degree in art. Before this could materialize, he attended an animation festival, which inspired him to make a slight change in course. Instead of continuing his education with a traditional art program, Hillenburg chose to study experimental animation at the California Institute of the Arts. His thesis film, Wormholes, is about the theory of relativity. It was screened at festivals, and at one of these, Hillenburg met Joe Murray, creator of the popular Nickelodeon animated series, Rocko's Modern Life. Murray was impressed by the style of the film and offered Hillenburg a job. Hillenburg joined the series as a director, and later, during the fourth season, he took on the roles of producer and creative director.
Martin Olson, one of the writers for Rocko's Modern Life, read The Intertidal Zone and encouraged Hillenburg to create a television series with a similar concept. At that point, Hillenburg had not even considered creating his series. However, he realized that if he ever did, this would be the best approach. He began to develop some of the characters from The Intertidal Zone, including the comic's "announcer", Bob the Sponge. He wanted his series to stand out from most popular cartoons of the time, which he felt were exemplified by buddy comedies like The Ren & Stimpy Show. As a result, Hillenburg decided to focus on a single main character: the "weirdest" sea creature he could think of. This led him to the sponge. The Intertidal Zone's Bob the Sponge resembles an actual sea sponge, and at first, Hillenburg continued to use this design. In determining the new character's behavior, Hillenburg drew inspiration from innocent, childlike figures that he enjoyed, such as Charlie Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy, Jerry Lewis, and Pee-wee Herman. He then considered modeling the character after a kitchen sponge and realized this idea would match the character's square personality perfectly.
To voice the series' central character, Hillenburg turned to Tom Kenny, whose career in animation had started alongside Hillenburg's on Rocko's Modern Life. Elements of Kenny's personality were employed to develop the character further. Initially, Hillenburg wanted to use the name SpongeBoy—the character had no last name—and the series was to have been called SpongeBoy Ahoy! However, the Nickelodeon legal department discovered—after voice acting had been completed for the original seven-minute pilot episode—that the name "SpongeBoy" was already copyrighted. In choosing a replacement name, Hillenburg felt he still had to use the word "Sponge", so that viewers would not mistake the character for a "Cheese Man". He settled on the name "SpongeBob". "SquarePants" was chosen as a family name after Kenny saw a picture of the character and remarked, "Boy, look at this sponge in square pants, thinking he can get a job in a fast food place." When he heard Kenny say it Hillenburg loved the phrase and felt it would reinforce the character's nerdiness.
==Why This Nautical Nonsense is Something You Wish==
#The animation is nice and near perfect for Nickelodeon standards from the start, and it improves vastly as the years go by and matches the style of zany cartoons from the Golden Age of Animation (especially the ones that Adam Paloian worked on) such as cartoons done by Bob Clampett, Tex Avery, Chuck Jones, Ward Kimball, and many others.
#*It was also a '''HUGE''' improvement to Nickelodeon's Animation Studios' direction compared to their failed pilot, "Terrytoons Presents: Crubside".
#*The animation got even better since season 9 due to its transition to HD.
#The premise is interesting since unlike most other cartoons, this one takes place underwater in the Pacific Ocean.
#The character designs are cute and appealing.
#The opening is iconic and catchy.
#It spawned multiple great licensed tie-in video games, including the well-known [[SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom|Battle for Bikini Bottom]] and it's Rehydrated remake.
#The show is very adventurous in scope as there are a lot of cool and interesting places, even outside of Bikini Bottom.
# Well-done voice acting, such as Tom Kenny, who voices the title character as well as his pet snail, Gary, and the French narrator. Special mention to when he does amazing impressions of other characters such as "Mimic Madness".
#Great and memorable songs, such as:
#*"Ripped Pants" (voiced by Peter Strauss)
#*"F.U.N. Song"
#*"Sweet Victory" (voiced by David Glen Eisley)
#*"Campfire Song Song"
#*"If Only I Could Join You"
#*"He's Flying"
#*"All You Need Is Friends"
#*"I Can't Keep My Eyes Off of You"
#*"Down The Well"
#*"The Bubble Song"
#*"Fueling The Bus"
#*"Attitude of Gratitude"
#*"A Day Like This"
#*"Oh Krusty Krab"
#*"Santa Has His Eye on Me"
#*"Don't Be a Jerk (It's Christmas)"
#*"It's High Tide Time We Went on Tour"
#*"Never Give Up"
#*"Best Day Ever"
#*"Who Am I?"
#*"Gary's Song"
#*"This Grill is Not a Home"
#*"Texas (I Wanna Go Home)".
#*"We’ve Got Scurvy".
#Amazingly hilarious, clever, and self-aware humor. "Wet Painters" for example has Patrick acknowledge the show's overuse of time cards by having him hold the "Three Hours Later" time card, telling SpongeBob to get on with the painting since he is running out of time cards.
#The show is willing to go a little out of its way to handle more mature topics at times but does it in a subtly child-friendly way that doesn't feel too dark and keeps the comedic tone, examples include:
#*"Suds", which handles the subject of self-medication.
#*"Hooky", "Just One Bite", and "Skill Crane" talk about the subject of addiction, with the first one talking about peer pressure.
#*"Plankton Paranoia", which focuses on the subject of paranoia and anxiety.
#*"Squirrel Jokes", deals with the subject of stereotyping and racism through SpongeBob's mockery of squirrels during his comedy act at the Krusty Krab talent show.
#*"Pressure" can also be interpreted as discrimination and competition.
#*"Squid's Day Off", whose main theme is an obsessive-compulsive disorder by featuring Squidward obsessively going back and forth to the Krusty Krab during his vacation, fearing SpongeBob (who is taking his place as the cashier while Mr. Krabs is in the hospital) causing any trouble (i.e. causing a fire) while he's gone, only to find out that he's just waiting there normally, waiting for Squidward to finish with his errands.
#*"Nasty Patty" talks about the subject of murder, even though the Health Inspector wasn't murdered (but that was what Mr. Krabs and SpongeBob thought).
#Though the show is mostly comedy, there is a fair share of heartwarming and sweet moments such as SpongeBob hugging Gary in some episodes.
#There are so many likable, memetic, and memorable characters with very distinct personalities like:
#*<span class=plainlinks>[https://greatcharacters.miraheze.org/wiki/SpongeBob_SquarePants_(seasons_1-6a,_7b-present) SpongeBob SquarePants] is the good-hearted, quirky, and happy-go-lucky yet intelligent protagonist.
#*<span class=plainlinks>[https://greatcharacters.miraheze.org/wiki/Patrick_Star_(seasons_1-5,_9b-present) Patrick Star] is SpongeBob's dim-witted, yet good-natured and well-meaning best friend.
#*<span class=plainlinks>[https://greatcharacters.miraheze.org/wiki/Squidward_Tentacles Squidward Tentacles] is SpongeBob's vain and grouchy neighbor but he has a fair share of care for SpongeBob inside and is very relatable.
#*<span class=plainlinks>[https://greatcharacters.miraheze.org/wiki/Mr._Krabs_(seasons_1-5;_11-present) Mr. Krabs] is Pearl's father and the greedy boss of SpongeBob and Squidward.
#*<span class=plainlinks>[https://greatcharacters.miraheze.org/wiki/Sheldon_J._Plankton Plankton] is the short-tempered and envious yet comedic villain.
#*<span class=plainlinks>[https://greatcharacters.miraheze.org/wiki/Sandy_Cheeks Sandy Cheeks] is the smart and tough newcomer.
#*Mrs. Puff is the beleaguered boating teacher.
#*Karen is Plankton's snarky, but sensible computer wife.
#*<span class=plainlinks>[https://greatcharacters.miraheze.org/wiki/Pearl_Krabs_(seasons_1-5;_8-present) Pearl Krabs] is Mr. Krabs' bratty but cheerful and friendly teenage daughter.
#*<span class=plainlinks>[https://greatcharacters.miraheze.org/wiki/Gary_the_Snail Gary] is SpongeBob's loyal pet snail.
#*Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy are affectionate parodies of Batman and Robin or Aquaman and Aqualad or Flash and Kid Flash, respectively.
#*<span class=plainlinks>[https://greatcharacters.miraheze.org/wiki/Larry_the_Lobster Larry the Lobster] is the muscular and fun-loving bodybuilder.
#*<span class=plainlinks>[https://greatcharacters.miraheze.org/wiki/Fred_(SpongeBob_SquarePants) Fred] is the long-suffering background character.
#*Bubble Bass is the gluttonous, uppity, arrogant yet nerdy and neckbeard LARPer.
#*Old Man Jenkins and Old Man Walker are old and forgetful fish.
#*<span class=plainlinks>[https://greatcharacters.miraheze.org/wiki/Scooter_(SpongeBob_SquarePants) Scooter] and <span class=plainlinks>[https://greatcharacters.miraheze.org/wiki/Sandals_(SpongeBob_SquarePants) Sandals] are happy-go-lucky surfer fish.
#*And the Flying Dutchman is the bombastic pirate ghost.
#There are so many great, hilarious and memorable episodes from these seasons (see below).
#A lot of the title cards and timecards are creative. As mentioned in WTSANNAR#4, there was even a funny 4th wall-breaking joke made with them in "Wet Painters", when Patrick says "Can you move it along? I'm out of time cards" as well as the narrator groaning in "Rock-a-Bye Bivalve".
#Shares some elements with ''[[Rocko's Modern Life]]'' and ''[[The Ren & Stimpy Show (seasons 1 & 2)|The Ren &]] [[The Ren & Stimpy Show (seasons 3-5)|Stimpy Show]]'', which makes sense as some of the SpongeBob crew worked on those shows before coming to work on ''SpongeBob''.
#The first 3 seasons (otherwise known as the pre-movie seasons) are arguably the best seasons of the show, spawning so many memorable episodes, three of them (Pizza Delivery, Band Geeks and Chocolate with Nuts) being considered the best of the series, among other episodes like SB-129, Ripped Pants, F.U.N, The Paper, Something Smells, Big Pink Loser, Dying for Pie & its sister episode Imitation Krabs, Christmas Who?, Frankendoodle, Graveyard Shift, Idiot Box, Wet Painters and sister episode Krusty Krab Training Video, The Camping Episode, Plankton's Army, etc. Season 3 is generally regarded as better than Season 2 due to having more episodes considered the best of the series by fans.
#*Seasons 4 and 5, despite not being as great as the pre-movie seasons, are still good and have recently been bunched up with seasons 1-3 by some people to form the Golden Age of SpongeBob. Some people have gone far enough to state that Seasons 4 and 5 are as good as, if not, even better than the pre-movie seasons.
#*The Post-Sequel era, while not as great as the pre-movie era, is still pretty good and is a huge step up from seasons 6-8. This era has spawned many good episodes like Food Con Castaways, Mimic Madness, Mind the Gap, Karen’s Virus, My Leg!, and Pat The Dog. This era is better than the 5th season due to having rare character interactions and even more creative ideas. They're on par with or only very slightly worse than Season 1.
#Ever since season 9, the show has improved dramatically after its decline in quality (see Reason #2 in the Bad Qualities section below) and there have been a lot of unique episode plots that haven't been done before.
#*Season 8 is perhaps the least bad and can be seen as an improvement over seasons 6 & 7, as the animation has improved (despite its frame-rate issues), SpongeBob's voice has returned to its original pitch since Season 3, has more great episodes like "Frozen Face-Off" and "It's a SpongeBob Christmas!", some characters reverted to their original personalities like Sheldon J. Plankton, Karen Plankton, Pearl Krabs, and SpongeBob SquarePants, and is considered average at best. However, it still has many of the same problems as the previous two seasons. Overall, Season 8 is not necessarily bad, but it’s very average.
#*Although Season 6 was the season where the series' decline became very noticeable, it was alright during its first four half-hours, despite having some stinkers, like "Penny Foolish" and "Gone". It wasn't until "The Splinter" that the seasonal rot officially kicked in and became much more noticeable (technically "Spongehenge" started the downfall of the show but still).
#*Season 7 FINALLY got slightly better in the second half, as infamous episodes were not as common anymore. Plus there are fewer Squidward Torture Episodes and the animation is less jarring to watch than Season 6 and Late Season 5.
#The Japanese dub is just as good as the original English version, which makes it into an anime.
#*The Latin Spanish dubbing of the first seasons is also very good, with the voices of Luis Carreño as Bob Esponja (Kaihiamal Martínez in the first season), Paul Gillman as Patricio, Renzo Jiménez as Calamardo, etc.
#*The Brazilian Portuguese dub was well received by Brazilian fans thanks to the wonderful job of Wendel Bezerra (SpongeBob's Brazilian voice actor).
#The background music is composed of either Hawaiian-style ukulele or pirate sea shanties which matches the show's underwater aesthetic. It is very calming to listen to, with a lot of memorable tracks such as "Grass Skirt Chase" and "The Rake Hornpipe".
#It had four Christmas specials: "Christmas Who?" "[[It's a SpongeBob Christmas! (SpongeBob SquarePants)|It's a SpongeBob Christmas!]]" "SpongeBob's Road to Christmas" and "[[Sandy's Country Christmas (SpongeBob SquarePants)|Sandy's Country Christmas]]", and a two-part stop-motion Halloween special called "The Legend of Boo-Kini Bottom", with top-notch, stop-motion animation, the same stop-motion animation from "It's a SpongeBob Christmas!", all of them being great, hilarious and memorable.
#After Stephen Hillenburg passed away from Lou Gehrig's disease, also known as ALS, the show made a couple of tributes to him. The first time was when Tom Kenny described how he was a good friend to him for a long time. The second was mentioned on the birthday special which is "[[SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout]]", and the third one was on the third movie, ''[[The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run|Sponge on the Run]]''.
#Lots of good morals here and there, such as:
#*Trying something new even if you don't want to. ("Just One Bite")
#*Don't care if people make fun of you. ("Grandma's Kisses")
#*Being yourself. ("Ripped Pants" and "MuscleBob BuffPants")
#*Always be kind to one another. ("Best Day Ever" and "Band Geeks")
#*Never take jokes way to the extreme. ("Pranks a Lot")
#*Never make fun of your friends. ("Squirrel Jokes" and "Pressure")
#*Don't be upset if people don't like you. ("Something Smells")
#*Being honest. ("The Donut of Shame")
#*Never break into someone's home without their permission. ("Survival of the Idiots")
#*You can't always get what you want. ("Squidville" and "SB-129")
#*Don't leave your life just to hang out with your favorite animals and be grateful for what you have. ("Nature Pants")
#*Always stand up for yourself. ("Pickles")
#The Patchy the Pirate segments in the show can be very entertaining, with Patchy being one of the funniest characters in the show due to his rivalry moments with his parrot, Potty.
#The show has had some creative parodies before such as Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy being parodies of Batman and Robin, Glove World being a reference to Disney World or Disneyland, and the Krusty Krab being a parody of McDonald's.

#*#"[[In the Mood to Feud (SpongeBob SquarePants)|In the Mood to Feud]]"

#*#"Bad Luck Bob"
#*#"Stuck in an Elevator" (a sequel to Stuck in the Wringer with a slightly better twist)
#*#"Pinned" (which ended 2024 in a weak note. Though not as bad as Good Neighbors and Stuck in the Wringer)
#Some of the characters are unlikable in their ways before and after dark age.
#*Mr. Krabs is most likely the least tolerable, due to his perceived exaggeration of his parsimony and his cruel actions (such as "Jellyfish Hunter" and "Wet Painters") throughout the series' run.
#*Sometimes, SpongeBob can be annoying to other people for no reason, especially Squidward.
#*King Neptune is the mean-spirited and cruel ruler of Bikini Bottom who hates and disrespects SpongeBob the most.
#*Likewise, Patrick can sometimes be clueless and have no common sense at times.
#*While he is still likable, Squidward has his unlikable moments, such as in "SpongeBob In Randomland", he becomes happy after finding out that SpongeBob might be dead, which is not like him in the earlier episodes (especially Dying for Pie). He is also still often used as a punching bag in many modern episodes, like "Under the Small Top" and "Who R Zoo?"
#*The background characters/incidentals (excluding Scooter) can also be very unlikable, mostly due to their tendency to start angry mobs.
#**There was one scene in "Your Shoe's Untied" when they saw Mr. Krab's underwear and became offended and left the Krusty Krab. Even though some of them were shown to be not wearing any pants, making them hypocrites.
#**Despite being more innocent and likable compared to most incidentals, Scooter can be annoying, especially because of his laugh.
#'''Quantity over quality''': Like ''[[The Simpsons (seasons 1-10, 32-present)|The]] [[The Simpsons (seasons 11-31)|Simpsons]]'', ''[[Family Guy (seasons 1-7)|Family]] [[Family Guy (seasons 8-present)|Guy]]'', and ''[[South Park (seasons 1-19, 21-present)|South]] [[South Park (season 20)|Park]]'' the series ran for '''way''' too long (it started in 1999 and there are no signs of the show ending anytime soon), spanning a total of 15 seasons and 308 episodes and counting. The show itself isn't bad by all means and is a great show overall. Also, starting in Season 6, Nickelodeon began ordering more episodes per season compared to the 20 episodes per season in the first 5 seasons (except for season 10, which only had 11). As a result, it will sometimes jump the shark.
#*It is a very infamous example of becoming Nickelodeon's cash cow along with [[The Loud House (seasons 1-3)|The Loud]] [[The Loud House (seasons 4-present)|House]] (the 2nd cash-cow) and [[The Fairly OddParents (seasons 1-8)|''The Fairly'']] [[The Fairly OddParents (seasons 9 & 10)|''OddParents'']] (the original cash-cow). Series creator Stephen Hillenburg wanted the series to end after season 3 with The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, but Nickelodeon greenlit the series for a fourth season due to popular demand, leading Hillenburg to resign and offer his position as showrunner to co-worker, Paul Tibbitt. Hillenburg remained an executive producer until he eventually returned in season 9 with The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water until he died in 2018. However, we can't blame the popular demand on Nickelodeon themselves because if the television executives at Nickelodeon wanted to greenlight a fourth season after the movie's success, then why not?
#The series went downhill between the first and second movies.
#*It began to go downhill during seasons 4 & 5, but it didn't get too noticeable until [[SpongeBob SquarePants (seasons 6-8)|season 6]] when the series was hit with a massive decline in quality (season 7 is just as bad, though seasons 8 is a mixed bag). The series thankfully has gotten much better since season 9.
#It can have hiccups here and there.
#*Season 1, while great, can be considered weak for some in comparison to Seasons 2 and 3, mainly due to the characters being less developed and having weaker comedy. This can be excusable since, just like any other first season of any show, they are just getting started.
#*Season 4, while good and considered the best season of the post-movie era, is considered the start of the show's decline and can be considered unnecessary by some fans. It was great during its first half (despite the major stinker, "Good Neighbors"), but midway through the season with "[[All That Glitters (SpongeBob SquarePants)|All That Glitters]]", the decline started to kick in and the episodes started to become a mixed bag.
#*Season 5, while decent, has more bad episodes (especially for second half) compared to season 4 (or even the first three seasons) and the characters' flanderizations slowly started to kick in, with Sandy (and SpongeBob in "To Love a Patty, unfortunately being the earliest offender).
#*Also not helped by the fact that Seasons 6 & 7 sped up the decline.
#**Season 6, while only slightly better than Season 7, kick-started all of the problems and that is when the show's decline became apparent. It's also has the worst animation. Plus unlike Seasons 7 and 8, this season ended quite badly (even though it started and ended on production/number code on surprisingly good). This season has the most Squidward Torture Porns on the entire show and is also home to some of the worst episodes of the entire show.
#**Season 7 is by a hair, the worst season of the whole show, especially during its first half as it not only has the most rehashed episodes from the earlier seasons (like how this season alone has three episodes that rip-off "Imitation Krabs"), and showed so much flanderization (which is evident with both Patrick and Mr. Krabs) but also some of the worst, infamous, and notorious episodes such as "[[A Pal for Gary (SpongeBob SquarePants)|A Pal for Gary]]", "[[One Coarse Meal (SpongeBob SquarePants)|One Coarse Meal]]", amongst others.
#*Season 8, while an improvement over Seasons 6 & 7, is infamous for having the most episodes that feel as though the writers were obsessed with the idea that Patrick has a low amount of intelligence, as well as having many boring and forgettable episodes.
#*Season 9, while a step-up from seasons 6-8, is still not as good as the first three (or four and five to a lesser extent) seasons (mostly likely Season 9a), as it still has a few flaws such as characters like Mr. Krabs and Patrick still being flanderized and having mediocre episodes, with the most infamous ones being "Little Yellow Book", "Squid Baby", "The Fish Bowl", and especially "SpongeBob, You're Fired". However, at this point, almost all of the characters have recovered from their flanderization.
#*Season 12, while still good, is the last season to involve Stephen Hillenburg before his death in 2018, midway through the season's production. As a result, there is a slight decline in quality due to his absence. Nickelodeon also gave this season the absolute worst airing schedule as stated in QTAR#11, with four episode pairings airing over a year apart from each other.
#**While it's understandable that two of the episodes, "Hiccup Plague" and "Kwarantined Krab", were pulled from airing for a while, the rest of the season's erratic scheduling doesn't make sense at all.
#*Seasons 13 onwards, while not as bad as Dark Age seasons, are still considered the weakest of the good seasons, as they are the first seasons fully produced after Stephen Hillenberg's death in 2018. There are more mediocre and bad episodes and less good episodes than in previous seasons (except seasons 6-8). The more recent seasons are notorious for the show's spinoffs being shamelessly advertised, and their sloppy references to the golden era in an attempt to gain viewers.
#**As "Sandy, Help Us!" got ''0.08'' million viewers, it's clear they failed.
#While the voice acting is generally commendable, it can be grating at times in the later seasons.
#*SpongeBob's higher-pitched voice from the first movie to Season 7 is quite annoying and grating, particularly when he yells or cries. Also, starting in Season 13, SpongeBob's voice has begun to sound worn out, likely due to Tom Kenny's aging.
#The first two TV movies, "[[Atlantis SquarePantis (SpongeBob SquarePants)|Atlantis SquarePantis]]" and "[[Truth or Square (SpongeBob SquarePants)|Truth or Square]]", were not well received. In the former's case, it’s due to the Nickelodeon executives forcing the crew to make both into two TV movies, resulting in throwing in some pointless songs and six character arcs that could have been used as their episodes. In the latter's case, it’s also due to the blatant bait-and-switches. As a result of the negative reviews that both TV movies got, Nickelodeon made no more TV movies for the show after "Truth or Square", but thankfully didn't involve flanderization. However later in 2019, "[[SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout]]" aired for the series' twentieth anniversary in July and was a well-received TV movie, with some calling it the perfect apology for "Truth or Square", and a later episode, [[Kreepaway Kamp (SpongeBob SquarePants)|Kreepaway Kamp]], received mixed-to-positive reviews.
#While the animation is generally great, it isn't always perfect and has some hiccups:
#*Season 1's animation, while still good, looks inferior to later seasons due to it being done in traditional cel form, while Season 2 onwards uses digital ink-and-paint.
#*Season 2's animation, while a step up from that of season 1, is filled with errors and some episodes have color inconsistencies, (most notably the episodes with washed-out colors on DVD) similar to season 6. Though to be fair, this is understandable since this is the very first season to use digital ink-and-paint animation.
#*Season 4's animation starts off looking clunky (due to weird face expressions during the early episodes ("Fear of the Krabby Patty" to "Funny Pants")) and inferior to seasons 2 and 3 but gets better as the season progresses and the lighting has noticeably improved.
#*Season 6 arguably has the worst animation as it relies way too much on closeup gross-out images. Though, it got toned down a bit during season 7.
#*The animation in later season 9b-12, while great, has a lot of weird and/or creepy-looking facial expressions that can make some fans lose interest in it. "Krabby Patty Creature Feature" as well as episodes that Bob Jacques (Ren & Stimpy) animated and as Adam Paloian supervising episodes, in particular, while they does a decent job, uses this over the top. Though it got toned down a bit by Season 13.
#*The earlier seasons have a poor blend of CGI and 2D animation, especially for Season 2, 3 and its time.
#While most jokes are funny, some of them are unfunny or outdated such as some of the jokes in "Prehibernation Week". Likewise, before the movie, there are (poorly) covered-up innuendos, such as:
#*SpongeBob watching a sea anemone in the episode "Your Shoe's Untied", which is a metaphor for watching pornography.
#*Finally, in "Texas", SpongeBob said "Patrick, your genius is showing", and Patrick thought he said "penis" and said, "Where?!".
#*The name of the city that the show takes place on is a obvious innuendo.
#*Bringing in the most infamous moment in Season 2 from the episode "Wormy". In this episode, it features a close-up of an '''actual horsefly'''. Not to mention this but not only did Wormy scare SpongeBob, Patrick, and the residents of Bikini Bottom, but a lot of young viewers.
#**There is even gross-out humor from time to time that mostly comes from close-ups that can be pretty disturbing, even though thankfully it's being toned down, the most infamous case being the gross face Spongebob made in "Whatever Happened to SpongeBob".
#While most of the dubs were good, the Persian and Tibetan dubs were not well received for being illegal dubs.
#There are a handful of bad/misleading episode titles:
#*"Patty Caper" and "The Great Patty Caper", which are completely unrelated. Add on the secondary title "Mystery with a Twistery" for TGPC, which is even more annoying.
#*"[[It's a SpongeBob Christmas! (SpongeBob SquarePants)|It's a SpongeBob Christmas!]]", despite being an amazing episode, has a rather generic title that can be confused with any other Christmas special involving SpongeBob.
#*The Season 9 special "Goodbye, Krabby Patty?", has an unnecessary question mark at the end.
#*"Komputer Overload", as using K's in place of C's often signal a Mr. Krabs episode despite this one not involving him at all.
#*The Season 8 episodes "Face Freeze" and "Frozen Face-Off" have too similar titles and can be used to describe any of the two episodes.
#*"[[Planet of the Jellyfish (SpongeBob SquarePants)|Planet of the Jellyfish]]", while still a great episode, parodies ''Invasion of the Body Snatchers'', not ''Planet of the Apes'', and there is no planet to be seen in the episode.
#*"Bubble Buddy Returns", for obvious reasons.
#*"Shuffleboarding", which does not even revolve around shuffleboarding for the majority of the episode.
#*"The Clash of Triton", which has no clash at all and is instead a boring ratings trap. "Neptune's Party", the original title, is far more accurate.
#*"Yours, Mine and Mine", "The Grill is Gone", and "SpongeBob You're Fired" have grammatical errors in their titles, the latter of which may be due to an error in the title card. The correct titles should be "Yours, Mine''',''' and Mine", "The Grill '''Is''' Gone", and "SpongeBob''',''' You're Fired'''!'''".
#**In fact, "SpongeBob, You're Fired!" was the episode's original title.
#*"BassWard" and "UpWard", which mash Squidward's name up with other characters and are placed too close to each other,
#*"Bad Luck Bob", "Big League Bob", and "Firehouse Bob", which are all similarly named Season 15 episodes close to each other.
#Character development is nearly devoid in the series, despite having 14 seasons.
#*The post-sequel era can have unnecessary character removals. Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy have largely disappeared from the show, following the deaths of their voice actors Ernest Borgnine and Tim Conway, and Stephen Hillenburg requested not to recast the characters. Thankfully, there is still a stick to continuity regarding them instead of being forgotten about entirely. But that's beside the point, the point is that probably after around "Patrick-Man!", Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy had little to no main roles and were given less focus. Even when the two do appear in an episode, they are either used as cameos or minor continuity and nothing else.
#*Although there is an increased focus on the side characters beginning with the post-sequel era, there are still fan-favorite characters that have yet to return in the series, such as Squilliam Fancyson or Flats the Flounder.
#The series is devoid of continuity (although it was intentional) and the timeline gets incredibly confusing, especially in later seasons.
#*In "Something Smells", Patrick says he does not have a sister, but she is later seen to have two sisters: Sam and Squidina Star. However, he may have simply forgot about them since Sam is his long-lost sister.
#*In "I Was a Teenage Gary", SpongeBob said he was left-handed. But, in the episodes "The Splinter" and "You Don't Know Sponge", he said he's ambidextrous, and in the episode "Procrastination", he is seen writing with his right hand.
#*In multiple episodes after the release of "Kamp Koral" and "The Patrick Star Show", sometime during Season 13, the series actively acknowledges the existence of the shows and their characters, implying that they are officially "canon" with the rest of the franchise. While it's wasn't a bad thing, '''this conflicts with many crucial character interactions''' that were clearly established in the past:
#*#In "Truth or Square", Squidward did not know SpongeBob until he moved in next door, but this is vetoed due to Kamp Koral.
#*#SpongeBob did not know Mr. Krabs nor Plankton until the pilot episode and "Plankton!" respectively, but Kamp Koral implies they already knew each other.
#*#Mr. Krabs and Plankton both have an established backstory ("Friend or Foe") that is completely negated by Kamp Koral, as it is implied that they were always enemies.
#*#In "Tree at the Treedome", SpongeBob and Sandy met each other in the treedome, but "[[The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run]]" and the Kamp Koral series shows that they met at Kamp Koral.
#*#"PL-1413" features a confusing appearance of Kamp Koral Sandy, further cementing Kamp Koral's canon.
#*#"Kreepaway Kamp" focuses on Kamp Koral, a spin-off location from ''[[Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years]]'' which reveals the current condition of Kamp Koral in the SpongeBob SquarePants timeline, further cementing Kamp Koral's canon even more.
#*#"Sheldon SquarePants" features a confusing ending with Cecil and Bunny Star, further cementing The Patrick Star Show's canon since Patrick's original parents in the show are Herb and Margie, thus retconning them.
#*#SpongeBob is late to work in episodes such as "New Digs" or "Missing Identity", even though other episodes such as "SpongeBob Meets the Strangler" suggest that SpongeBob has never been late for work. This error consistently occurs in many Season 5 episodes.
#*#In "Christmas Who", SpongeBob and Patrick don't know what Christmas is, even though Patrick referenced it in "Jellyfishing" and the two would celebrate Christmas again in episodes such as "[[It's a SpongeBob Christmas! (SpongeBob SquarePants)|It's a SpongeBob Christmas!]]".
#*#In "Le Big Switch" from season 5, he can only make Krabby Patties at the restaurant, even though he made coral bits earlier in the same episode. A similar error occurs in "SpongeBob You're Fired" and "Necro-Nom-Nom-i-Con".
#*#Although animation mistakes are normally a non-issue in this show, there are some major errors every so often that are jarring. For example, a scene in the episode "Breath of Fresh Squidward" shows SpongeBob sharing a grill with Squidward against his will, even though there is clearly another grill in the background.
#Nickelodeon has a horrible habit of poorly scheduling the airing of new SpongeBob episodes. Since Season 5, Nickelodeon has tended to air episodes out of order and inconsistently, resulting in episode segments airing months or even years apart from each other.
#*"Gary Takes a Bath", "Goo Goo Gas", "Yeti Krabs", "Pineapple RV", "My Two Krabses", "Hiccup Plague", and "Kwarantined Krab" all aired a year or longer past their sister episodes. Four of these episodes were from Season 12, which as stated below has the weirdest airing pattern of any season.
#*Season 9 took a long time to air. It premiered in July 2012 and didn't end until approximately five years later in February 2017, mostly because production was halted due to the production of ''[[The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water]]''.
#*Season 12 also took a very long time to air. It premiered in November 2018 and didn't end until approximately four years later in April 2022. In addition, this is perhaps the worst example of episodes being aired out of order, as countless episode segments air far apart from each other. This was most likely due to Nickelodeon's terrible scheduling.
#*The Season 14 split was '''VERY''' poorly handled as although it was announced to contain 26 half-hour episodes at first, it was shortened to 13 and split off into Season 15. This is despite the fact that '''most of the episodes were already produced and/or released.''' This caused Season 15, which would contain twenty episodes, to contain a large amount of Season 14 holdovers, including the pairing "Sammy Suckerfish/Big League Bob", which was already released months before the announced split in September 2024, and a massive confusion in what season these episodes belong in.
#**Moreover, the covers for seasons 14 and 15 are really bland as they are just typical SpongeBob backgrounds with stock art and the logo slapped onto it, which feels lazy and rushed.
#[[Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie|Don't even get us started on the spin-off film ''Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie'']].

==Reception==
===In ratings===
Within its first month on air, SpongeBob SquarePants overtook [[Pokémon (seasons 1-13, 17-present)|Pokémon]] as the highest-rated Saturday-morning children's series on television. It held an average national Nielsen rating of 4.9 among children aged two through eleven, denoting 1.9 million viewers. Two years later, the series had firmly established itself as Nickelodeon's second highest-rated children's program, after Rugrats. SpongeBob SquarePants was credited with helping Nickelodeon take the "Saturday-morning ratings crown" for the fourth straight season in 2001. The series had gained a significant adult audience by that point—nearly 40 percent of its 2.2 million viewers were aged 18 to 34. In response to its weekend success, Nickelodeon gave SpongeBob SquarePants time slots at 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM, Monday through Thursday, to increase the series' exposure. By the end of 2001, SpongeBob SquarePants boasted the highest ratings for any children's series, on all of television. Weekly viewership of the series had reached around fifteen million, at least five million of whom were adults.
In October 2002, another Nickelodeon series, [[The Fairly OddParents (seasons 9 & 10)|The Fairly OddParents]], ranked as the number two program for children between two and eleven years old. Its ratings at that time were almost equal to SpongeBob SquarePants' then-average of 2.2 million viewers per episode. [[The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder|The Fairly OddParents]] even briefly surpassed SpongeBob SquarePants, causing it to drop into second place. At this time, The Fairly OddParents had a 6.2 rating and nearly 2.5 million child viewers, while SpongeBob SquarePants had a 6.0 rating and 2.4 million child viewers aged two to eleven. Nickelodeon "recognized" The Fairly OddParents for its climbing ratings and installed it in a new 8:00 PM time slot, previously occupied by SpongeBob SquarePants. In an interview, Cyma Zarghami, then-general manager and executive vice president of Nickelodeon said, "Are we banking on the fact that Fairly OddParents will be the next SpongeBob? ... We are hoping. But SpongeBob is so unique, it's hard to say if it will ever be repeated."
In 2012, however, the series' ratings were declining. The average number of viewers aged two to eleven watching SpongeBob at any given time dropped 29% in the first quarter from a year earlier, according to Nielsen. Wall Street Journal business writer John Jannarone suggested the series' age and oversaturation might be contributing to its ratings' decline and might also be directly responsible for the decline in Nickelodeon's overall ratings. Media analyst Todd Juenger attributed the decline in Nickelodeon's ratings directly to the availability of streaming video content on services like Netflix, a provider of on-demand Internet streaming media.
SpongeBob SquarePants is one of the longest-running series on Nickelodeon. It became the network's series with the most episodes during its eighth season, surpassing the 172 episodes of Rugrats. In the ninth season, its 26 episodes brought the number of episodes produced to 204. In a statement, Brown Johnson, Nickelodeon's animation president said, "SpongeBob's success in reaching over 200 episodes is a testament to creator Stephen Hillenburg's vision, comedic sensibility, and his dynamic, lovable characters. The series now joins the club of contemporary classic Nicktoons that have hit this benchmark, so we're incredibly proud."
===In general===
''SpongeBob SquarePants'' has received universal critical acclaim, being praised for its appeal to different age groups, and the show has earned numerous awards and accolades throughout its run. James Poniewozik of ''Time'' magazine described the title character as "the anti-Bart Simpson, temperamentally and physically: his head is as squared-off and neat as Bart's is unruly, and he has a personality to match—conscientious, optimistic and blind to the faults in the world and those around him. However, reception for seasons varies widely.
===Pre-Movie Era===
Seasons 1-3 have been highly praised among fans and critics for their humor, writing, and characters. These seasons also have tons of amazing episodes, like "Band Geeks", "My Pretty Seahorse", "SB-129", "Chocolate with Nuts", "Pizza Delivery", "Imitation Krabs", "Idiot Box", "F.U.N.", "The Secret Box", "Club SpongeBob" and the list goes on. However, some episodes like "I'm With Stupid", "The Great Snail Race", and "I Was a Teenage Gary" wasn't well received.
===Post-Movie Era===
Seasons 4 & 5 received mixed to positive reception with some liking these seasons and considering it on par with seasons 1-3, and some disliking these seasons because of minor flanderization of some characters, and some bad episodes. These are still a handful of fan-favorite episodes such as, "That's No Lady", "Best Day Ever", "Friend or Foe", "Fear of a Krabby Patty", "Roller Cowards", "Have You Seen This Snail?", and "Krabs a la Mode," but there were a couple of stinkers such as "Fungus Among Us", "To Love a Patty", "Good Neighbors" and "Atlantis SquarePantis."
Seasons 6 & 7 were heavily panned by fans and critics for flanderization of the characters, weaker writing, storylines, animation, humor, and unnecessary mean-spirited moments, and therefore have been widely regarded as the worst seasons of ''SpongeBob SquarePants'', with season 7 being considered the absolute worst season of the entire show overall (although few people were arguable that season 6 is worse, according to both PieGuyRulz and PhantomStrider), while season 8 & 9a is often regarded by many to be a mixed bag. These seasons have tons of bad, awful, or mediocre episodes, like "[[A Pal for Gary (SpongeBob SquarePants)|A Pal for Gary]]", "[[One Coarse Meal (SpongeBob SquarePants)|One Coarse Meal]]", "[[The Splinter (SpongeBob SquarePants)|The Splinter]]", "[[Boating Buddies (SpongeBob SquarePants)|Boating Buddies]]", "[[Squid's Visit (SpongeBob SquarePants)|Squid's Visit]]", "[[Truth or Square (SpongeBob SquarePants)|Truth or Square]]", "[[Rodeo Daze (SpongeBob SquarePants)|Rodeo Daze]]", "[[Cephalopod Lodge (SpongeBob SquarePants)|Cephalopod Lodge]]", "[[Hide and Then What Happens? (SpongeBob SquarePants)|Hide and Then What Happens?]]", "[[Yours, Mine and Mine (SpongeBob SquarePants)|Yours, Mine and Mine]]", "[[A Day Without Tears (SpongeBob SquarePants)|A Day Without Tears]]", "[[Big Sister Sam (SpongeBob SquarePants)|Big Sister Sam]]", "[[Slide Whistle Stooges (SpongeBob SquarePants)|Slide Whistle Stooges]]" and the list goes on. Despite how terrible these seasons are, they still have some solid fan favorites, like "Not Normal", "Sand Castles in the Sand", "Suction Cup Symphony", "The Bad Guy Club for Villains", "Enchanted Tiki Dreams", "Perfect Chemistry", "Grandpappy the Pirate", "Spongicus", "Nautical Novice", 'Planet of the Jellyfish", "It's a SpongeBob Christmas!", and "Hello Bikini Bottom!".
Seasons 8 received mixed reviews with some liking them as an improvement over seasons 6 & 7 and most saying that they are just as bad as the latter season mentioned.
Season 9a received a much better reception than seasons 6-8.
===Post-Sequel Era===
Season 9b to 12 has been mostly positive as well, with improved writing, storylines, and humor than that of seasons 6-8.
Seasons 13 and 14 received very mixed reviews with some liking these seasons and considering them on par with seasons 9 through 12, and others disliking these seasons and putting them on par with the first dark era due to the constant nostalgia baiting and weaker writing, and characters. Some of which even believe Seasons 6 and 7 were better than these seasons, which is shocking but understandable. These episodes have had a stark decline in ratings as the seasons went on and each new episode sets record lows for the series, even though Nickelodeon considers this show to be its cash cow and continues airing it. However, seasons 13 and 14 are considered to still be better than the dark era despite the mixed reviews. There is also an influx of average/mediocre/bad episodes such as "[[Squidward's Sick Daze (SpongeBob SquarePants)|Squidward's Sick Daze]]", "[[Plane to Sea (SpongeBob SquarePants)|Plane To Sea]]", "[[User:Arle Nadja/sandbox/Yellow Pavement (SpongeBob SquarePants)|Yellow Pavement]]", "[[Friendiversary (SpongeBob SquarePants)|Friendiversary]]", "My Friend Patty", "[[SquidBird (SpongeBob SquarePants)|SquidBird]]", "Allergy Attack", "[[Squidiot Box (SpongeBob SquarePants)|Squidiot Box]]", "[[Don't Make Me Laugh (SpongeBob SquarePants)|Don't Make Me Laugh]]", and more. However, there are still good episodes like "Squidferatu", "Salty Sponge", "Dopey Dick", "Momageddon", "Tango Tangle", "The Dirty Bubble Bass", "[[Kreepaway Kamp (SpongeBob SquarePants)|Kreepaway Kamp]]", "Snow Yellow and the Seven Jellies", "Sandy's Country Christmas", and "Big League Bob." These seasons have been covered by notable cartoon reviewers such as BradenInsane, the Alpha Jay Show and Mr. Enter. BradenInsane notes that the later SpongeBob seasons are terrible due to the reasons mentioned above in his Friendiversary review and Season 12 rants. Mr. Enter, even though he still hates Seasons 6-8, says that Seasons 13+ got bad for being "utter nonsense" and incoherent writing, comparing it to broken AI. However, PhantomStrider considers these seasons decent when he ranked the episodes of these seasons.
===Controversies===
In 2005, an online video that showed clips from SpongeBob SquarePants and other children's shows set to the Sister Sledge song "We Are Family" to promote diversity and tolerance was attacked by an evangelical group in the United States. They saw SpongeBob being used to "advocate homosexuality". James Dobson of Focus on the Family accused the video of promoting homosexuality because it was sponsored by a pro-tolerance group. The incident prompted the question of whether SpongeBob is gay. Although the character has enjoyed popularity with gay viewers, series creator Stephen Hillenburg had already denied SpongeBob is gay three years earlier, clarifying at the time he considered the character to be "somewhat asexual". After Dobson's comments, Hillenburg reasserted his position, stating that sexual preference does not play a part in what they are "trying to do" with the series. Tom Kenny and other production members were distraught that the issue had arisen. Dobson later said his comments were taken out of context and his original complaints were not with SpongeBob, the video, or any of the characters in the video, but rather with the organization that sponsored the video, the We Are Family Foundation. Dobson said they posted pro-gay material on their website but later removed it. After the controversy, John H. Thomas, the United Church of Christ's general minister and president, said they would welcome SpongeBob into their ministry. He said: "Jesus didn't turn people away. Neither do we."
Queer theorist Jeffery P. Dennis, an author of the journal article "Queertoons", argued that SpongeBob and Sandy are not romantically in love, but added he believed SpongeBob and Patrick "are paired with arguably erotic intensity". Martin Goodman of Animation World Magazine called Dennis' comments regarding SpongeBob and Patrick "interesting". Ukrainian website Family Under the Protection of the Holy Virgin, which has been described as a "fringe Catholic" group by The Wall Street Journal, criticized SpongeBob SquarePants for its alleged "promotion of homosexuality". The group sought to have the series banned, along with several other popular children's properties. The National Expert Commission of Ukraine on the Protection of Public Morality took up the matter for review in August 2012. Questions of SpongeBob's sexuality resurfaced in 2020 after Nickelodeon's official Twitter account posted an image of the character, in rainbow colors with text celebrating the LGBTQ+ community and its allies during Pride Month. Although the post did not make any assertions about SpongeBob's sexual orientation, numerous users responded on social media, claiming they already had their suspicions that he might be gay or reasserting Hillenburg's description of asexuality.
In April 2009, Burger King released a SpongeBob-themed advertisement featuring a parody of Sir Mix-a-Lot's song "Baby Got Back". The Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood protested the ad for being sexist and inappropriately sexual, especially considering SpongeBob's fan base includes young children. In official statements released by Burger King and Nickelodeon, both companies claimed the campaign was aimed at parents.
====Other====
A 2011 study conducted at the University of Virginia, published in the journal Pediatrics, suggested that allowing preschool-aged audiences to watch the series caused short-term disruptions in mental function and attention span because of frequent shot changes, compared to control groups watching Caillou and drawing pictures. A Nickelodeon executive responded in an interview the series was not intended for an audience of that age and that the study used "questionable methodology and could not possibly provide the basis for any valid findings that parents could trust."
Several of the series' episodes have also been the subject of controversy. In a report titled "Wolves in Sheep's Clothing", which documents the increase in potentially violent, profane, and sexual content in children's programming, the Parents Television Council, a watchdog media group, claimed the season 2 SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Sailor Mouth" was an implicit attempt to promote and satirize use of profanity among children. "SpongeBob's Last Stand" (season 7) and "Selling Out" (season 4) have been criticized for promoting environmentalism and left-wing politics because of their negative portrayal of big business. "SpongeBob, You're Fired" (season 9) caused widespread controversy and sparked a political debate over its portrayal of unemployment; after Fox News and the New York Post commented on the episode, Media Matters for America accused the two organizations of using the episode to "attack the social safety net." This statement was echoed by Al Sharpton, who claimed conservatives' "new hero" to be "a sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea." In 2014, the education minister of Kazakhstan, Zabira Orazalieva, deemed the show too violent for children, labeling the titular character a "self-absorbed hooligan" who "regularly inflicts violence on others in his community and seems to enjoy what he does."
In 2019, University of Washington professor Holly M. Barker stated that the show promotes "violent and racist" colonialism since Bikini Bottom is named after Bikini Atoll, a place where natives were resettled by the US government for nuclear testing. Barker also pointed out the cultural appropriation of Pacific culture in the show. Because of such content, children have "become acculturated to an ideology that includes the U.S. character SpongeBob residing on another people’s homeland", according to Barker. ViacomCBS eventually pulled the episode "Mid-Life Crustacean" (season 3), first aired in 2003, out of circulation in March 2021, presumably due to its ending in which SpongeBob, Patrick, and Mr. Krabs partake in a panty raid. "We determined some story elements were not kid-appropriate", a Nickelodeon representative stated. A later episode, "Kwarantined Krab" (season 12), was also made unavailable for release, over its similarities to the COVID-19 pandemic.
===Legacy===
In July 2009, Madame Tussauds wax museum in New York launched a wax sculpture of SpongeBob in celebration of the series' 10th anniversary. SpongeBob became the first animated character sculpted entirely out of wax
The character has also become a trend in Egypt at Cairo's Tahrir Square. After the Egyptian Revolution of 2011, SpongeBob became a fashion phenomenon, appearing on various merchandise items from hijabs to boxer shorts. The phenomenon led to the creation of the Tumblr project called "SpongeBob on the Nile". The project was founded by American students Andrew Leber and Elisabeth Jaquette and attempts to document every appearance of SpongeBob in Egypt. Sherief Elkeshta cited the phenomenon in an essay about the incoherent state of politics in Egypt in an independent monthly paper titled ''Midan Masr''. He wrote, "Why isn't he [SpongeBob] at least holding a Molotov cocktail? Or raising a fist?" The phenomenon has even spread to Libya, where a Libyan rebel in SpongeBob dress was photographed celebrating the revolution. Although ''The Guardian'' and ''Vice'' have asserted that the trend has little to no political significance, "joke" presidential campaigns have been undertaken for SpongeBob in Egypt and Syria.
A clip was posted to [[YouTube (2005-2016)|You]][[YouTube (2017-present)|Tube]] in February 2013 that features soldiers in the Russian army and navy singing the ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' theme song as they march. According to the website that uploaded the video, this is one of the "most popular marching songs" in the Russian military.
Following Hillenburg's death in November 2018, more than 1.2 million fans signed a petition for the National Football League to have the song "Sweet Victory" from the season 2 episode "Band Geeks" performed in his honor at the Super Bowl LIII halftime show. Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium's Twitter account, the venue of the show, tweeted a GIF of SpongeBob dancing in "Band Geeks" in December. Maroon 5 who were performing at the game, included a brief clip of SpongeBob in a preview video, leading fans to believe the song would be performed. While the song's opening was ultimately included, it served as a transition into artist Travis Scott's set, which left many fans disappointed. In response to fans' disappointment at not hearing the complete "Sweet Victory" song during the halftime show at the Super Bowl LIII, the Dallas Stars of the National Hockey League showed a clip of the full "Sweet Victory" song during a game at the American Airlines Center. In the clip, the characters' band uniforms are recolored green after the Stars.
Several species of organism have been named after ''SpongeBob''. In May 2011, a new species of mushroom, ''Spongiforma squarepantsii'', was described and named after the series' title character. In 2019, a species of sea sponge, ''Clathria hillenburgi'', was named in honor of Hillenburg, also referencing his creation of ''SpongeBob SquarePants''. In 2020, a species of abyssal sea star, ''Astrolirus patricki'', was described and named after Patrick Star; individuals of this species were found to be closely associated with hexactinellid sponges, and it was thus named after Patrick as a reference to the character's friendship with SpongeBob.
In honor of Stephen Hillenburg, a non-profit fan project, titled ''The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie Rehydrated'', was released online on May 1, 2022. It consists of a recreation of ''[[The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie]]'' reanimated by 300 people with re-recorded music and dialogue. Amid the YouTube premiere, the video was taken down by Paramount Global due to copyright laws. As a result, the hashtag #JusticeForSpongeBob became trending on Twitter against Paramount Global's action. The video was restored the following day.
==Internet Popularity ==
Online memes relating to SpongeBob SquarePants have achieved widespread popularity on the Internet, so much so that Vox's Aja Romano declared in 2019 that "Spongebob memes came to rule Internet culture." A subreddit devoted to memes based on the animated series has, as of May 2019, accumulated over 1.7 million subscribers, a figure exponentially higher than subreddits devoted to the series itself.
Matt Schimkowitz, a senior editor for Know Your Meme, told Time that a combination of factors make SpongeBob memes so popular. He speculated that nostalgia, alongside the cartoon's young audience, contributed to SpongeBob Squarepants's outsized presence in Internet meme culture. Schimkowitz further added that memes derived from the series are exceptionally good at expressing emotions.
Michael Gold of The New York Times concurred. The writer opined that because of the show's "high episode count" and that it was "so ubiquitous at the beginning of the 21st century," SpongeBob SquarePants became "easy meme fodder."
Nickelodeon and members of the SpongeBob cast have expressed approval for the trend. Tom Kenny told Time that he found SpongeBob memes relatable and good-natured. Kenny said that while the show's characters can be considered complex, they are also simple, creating a wealth of content for meme creators to work with.{{cite}} Nickelodeon has manufactured a line of toys based on some of the show's most recognizable meme formats and has even included references to well-known memes in video games.
Among the show's most popular memes are the mocking SpongeBob meme, referring to an image macro from the episode, "Little Yellow Book," a screenshot of a surprised Patrick Star from the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, an image of Spongebob appearing exhausted in the episode, "Nature Pants," and a particularly disheveled illustration of Squidward from "Squid's Day Off."
==Merchandise==
The popularity of SpongeBob SquarePants inspired merchandise from T-shirts to posters. In 2009, it was reported that the franchise had generated an estimated $8 billion in merchandising revenue for Nickelodeon. The series is also the most distributed property of Paramount Media Networks. SpongeBob is viewed in 170 countries speaks 24 languages, and has become "a killer merchandising app".The title character and his friends have been used as a theme for special editions of well-known family board games, including Monopoly, Life, and Operation, as well as a SpongeBob SquarePants edition of Ants in the Pants, and Yahtzee.
In 2001, Nickelodeon signed a marketing deal with Target Corporation and Burger King, expanding its merchandising. The popularity of SpongeBob has translated well into sales. In 2002, SpongeBob SquarePants dolls sold at a rate of 75,000 per week—faster than Tickle Me Elmo dolls were selling at the time. SpongeBob has gained popularity in Japan, specifically with Japanese women. Nickelodeon's parent company Viacom purposefully targeted marketing at women there. Skeptics initially doubted that SpongeBob could be popular in Japan, as the character's design is very different from already popular designs for Hello Kitty and Pikachu. Ratings and merchandise sales showed SpongeBob SquarePants has caught on with parents and college audiences. In a 2013 promotion, college-oriented website Music.com gave away 80,000 SpongeBob T-shirts, four times more than during a similar promotion for Comedy Central's South Park.
Kids' meal tie-ins have been released in fast food restaurants in many parts of the world, including Burger King in Europe and North America, as well as Wendy's in North America, and Hungry Jack's in Australia. A McDonald's Happy Meal tie-in with SpongeBob-themed Happy Meal boxes and toys was released in Europe and other international markets in the summer of 2007. In Australia, the advertisement for the McDonald's SpongeBob Happy Meal won the Pester Power Award because the ads enticed young children to want its food because of the free toy. As a tie-in beverage for the DVD release of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, 7-Eleven released the limited edition Under-the-Sea Pineapple Slurpee in March 2004. Pirate's Booty released limited edition SpongeBob SquarePants Pirate's Booty snacks in 2013.
In 2007, high-end SpongeBob-themed electronics were introduced by Imation Electronics Products under the Npower brand, including MP3 players, digital cameras, a DVD player, and a flatscreen television. Pictures of SpongeBob SquarePants began to appear on the labels of 8-ounce cans of Green Giant cut green beans and packages of frozen Green Giant green beans and butter sauce in 2007, which featured free stickers. This was part of an initiative to encourage kids to eat their vegetables. The Simmons Jewelry Co. released a $75,000 diamond pendant as part of a SpongeBob collection. In New Zealand, the UK-based Beechdean Group unveiled the SpongeBob SquarePants Vanilla Ice Cream character product as part of a licensing deal with Nickelodeon. NZ Drinks launched the SpongeBob SquarePants bottled water.
Build-A-Bear Workshop introduced the new SpongeBob SquarePants collection in stores and online in North America on May 17, 2013. Shoppers can dress their SpongeBob and Patrick plush in a variety of clothing and accessories. Sandy Cheeks and Gary the Snail are also available as pre-stuffed minis. Build-A-Bear Workshop stores nationwide celebrated the arrival of SpongeBob with a series of special events from May 17 through May 19.
On July 13, 2013, Toyota, with Nickelodeon, unveiled a SpongeBob-inspired Toyota Highlander. The 2014 Toyota Highlander was launched on SpongeBob Day at the San Diego Padres v. Giants game. The SpongeBob Toyota Highlander visited seven U.S. locations during its release, including the Nickelodeon Suites Resort Orlando in Florida.
In April 2019, Nickelodeon released a series of toys adapted from various SpongeBob Internet memes. These included "Handsome Squidward", "Imaginaaation SpongeBob", "Mocking SpongeBob", "SpongeGar", and "Surprised Patrick". Shortly after the release of the line, most of the toys sold out on Amazon.com.
==Trivia==
*This series spawned a large number of internet memes such as "Mocking SpongeBob" from Little Yellow Book and SpongeGar from SB-129. In fact, this show has spawned about 178 memes.
*[[Special:LongPages|This is the fourth largest page on the entire wiki]].
*Season 1 is the only season to be animated using cel animation as later seasons would use digital inking and painting animation.
*To this day, SpongeBob SquarePants is one of the most well-known and beloved cartoons of all time.
*There is a spin-off called ''[[Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years]]'' that was released on Paramount+ on March 4, 2021. The spin-off, however, quickly received backlash from fans and even Paul Tibbitt (the showrunner from Season 4 to the first half of Season 9) for "disrespecting Hillenburg’s legacy", as Hillenburg is often said as not wanting any spinoffs to happen, even though he said he didn't see any spinoffs happening. Rob Renzetti also criticized the spinoff. Said spinoff is promoted in ''[[The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run]]''.
**There's also a new spin-off called ''[[The Patrick Star Show]]'' with Patrick as the protagonist. Patrick's family is different in the show, as Herb is replaced by Cecil, Margie is replaced by Bunny, Sam may or may not be replaced by Squidina (yes, ''the'' Squidina from ''Goons on the Moon'') as the show is set between Patrick and Sam's separation and reunion, and Billy Bob is replaced by GrandPat Star. There are explanations from Vincent Waller, Ariel "Pinkie" Davis, and Ian V. on why Patrick's parents and sister are different. Vincent responded: "We felt the original iterations of the characters, while they worked for that episode, they were boring as characters. They were NOT entertaining or fun. These two are so much more fun." for why Herb and Margie are replaced. April says that Squidina is Patrick's adopted sister. And Ian V. says: "As someone who's on the show I can say they're officially just a redesign of the old parents (his dad even still has the same voice) into...stars! I just love coming up with these ridiculous explanations for it is fun." It is unexplained why Billy Bob is replaced by GrandPat Star.

*The episode "Gary Takes A Bath" was the only episode to air on Nicktoons before it aired on Nickelodeon.
*Creator Stephen Hillenburg passed away at the age of 57 on November 26, 2018, from ALS.
* In 2002, SpongeBob was ranked #9 in TV Guide's Top 50 Greatest Cartoon Characters list (which also included Angelica Pickles at #7 and Ren and Stimpy at #31). He was notably the most recently created character to be featured on the list at the time of its publication.
*Stephen Hillenburg created Plankton and Karen as potential villains for the series, but he decided in 1997 that they didn't have much potential and that the "Plankton wants to steal a Krabby Patty" plot would become stale after a while. He wanted to have them be one-off characters, and Nickelodeon suggested hiring a one-time guest star like Bruce Willis for the voice of Plankton. However, staff writer Doug/Mr. Lawrence (who became the voice of Plankton) was convinced that his character had untapped potential; he gave Hillenburg a set of episode outlines about Plankton and Karen, many of which were used throughout the first three seasons. The episodes were popular with the writing team, and Plankton and Karen officially became the main characters in the credits of the first theatrical movie. Lawrence considers season three as the first season where Plankton is part of the main cast.
*It has its channel on Paramount+ called "SpongeBob Universe", which airs SpongeBob content 24/7.
* Though the show wasn't meant to go on after the first three seasons, it still made the show pretty famous and it spawned a lot of cool merchandise.
*The main character "SpongeBob" was named because Stephen Hillenburg was worried that people would confuse him for a block of cheese.
** Stephen also wanted to call him "SpongeBoy", and the show ''SpongeBoy Ahoy'', until he learned the name SpongeBoy was trademarked by a pencil product. This appears in a gag where Mr. Krabs says" Sponge boy, me Bob!"
*Due to its popularity, it spawned merchandise, from DVDs to lunchboxes, to mini shorts, etc.
*The show was going to have a completely different intro with a more action-styled music piece, still images, and no lyrics. The intro was later changed to fit the show's style.
*When the show debuted in May 1999, it surpassed ''[[Pokémon (seasons 1-13, 17-present)|Pokémon]]'' as the highest-rated Saturday-morning children's animated series on television. It is also one of the highest-rated shows on Nickelodeon for years, the other being ''[[The Loud House (seasons 1-3)|The Loud]] [[The Loud House (seasons 4-present)|House.]]''
*Mr. Lawrence auditioned for the role of SpongeBob, using the same voice he'd later use for Plankton (which comes across as serious vocal dissonance for anyone more familiar with the character's more famous high-pitched voice).
*Barnacle Boy was originally a character called "Barnacle Bill", a salty old sailor whose body is a piece of log with his head sticking out, similar to Seamus from ''Family Guy''. While he never appears in the show, he's the titular character of the two-part comic "The Ballad of Barnacle Bill" in the SpongeBob comic.
*In early sketches, Plankton was going to be so small that every shot of him would require an off-camera character to hold a magnifying glass over him, but it made acting too difficult, resulting in some artistic liberties being taken with his size.
*Several US Publications such as USA Today named the Krabby Patty among other fictional foods that many have wanted to exist in real life, and according to the New York Daily News, four restaurants serve a similar burger to the Krabby Patty, which include the Snow Crab Crispy Rice, Phuket Fantasy, Angry Crab Benedict, and Soft Shell Crab Taco. The fictional burger also inspired real-life gummy confectionery treats, primarily in New England. However, the candies were not well received and were the subject of controversy, as a doctor from the Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine warned the parents the candy was produced in China and was contaminated as it was made using Chinese milk. In 2019, a reporter with the student newspaper of Capital University gave the gummy candies a rating of 2 out of 10 in their review of Halloween candy. It was featured in the SpongeBob merchandise, the burger was portrayed by an actor on stage at the SpongeBob Musical at Palace Theatre, and Katy Perry used it as a second costume on the red carpet at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.
*SpongeBob was originally designed to resemble an actual sea sponge, but Stephen Hillenburg couldn't do an appealing caricature of one. He went with a synthetic sink sponge instead to give the character a "squeaky clean nerd" appearance, as well as to imply that he's "a square peg trying to fit into a round hole."
*SpongeBob himself is based on Bob the Sponge from Hillenburg's old educational book, "The Intertidal Zone".
*In 1999, Nickelodeon released a press statement summarizing the first four episodes. At the time, these episodes were planned to be released in production order: "Help Wanted," "Tea at the Treedome," "Squeaky Boots," and "Jellyfishing." Sometime in April 1999, Nickelodeon decided to air the episodes in a different order instead; it was called the "packaging order." This order does not relate to production or airing order, and it most notably moved "Squeaky Boots" (the third produced segment overall) to episode 8b, much later than it was produced.
*In 1997, a draft of the pilot episode was completed. This is known today as "Help Wanted".
*According to Vincent Waller, an episode revealing Pearl's mother was written and reached the early development stages; however, Stephen Hillenburg was strongly against solving the mystery and shelved the episode indefinitely.
*Nick wanted the cast to be grade-schoolers instead of adults, due to the success of ''[[Hey Arnold!]]''. Hillenburg was so opposed to this that he nearly abandoned the series until he put SpongeBob in boating school as a compromise.
*''Reef Blower'' was originally intended to have dialogue, but became a dialogue-free episode due to the fact that they had to pay 5000$ per voicing session, and it felt redundant for a 3-minute filler episode.
*Storyboard artist Adam Paloian mentioned one episode that had some storyboards but was ultimately never made. It's called ''A Day In The Life Of Plankton'', a 4-5 minute short with minimal dialogue that would've focused on Plankton when he isn't stealing the formula, just doing mundane things.
*According to Vincent Waller, one of Stephen Hillenberg's original ideas for the series was to have Sandy be SpongeBob's girlfriend. Though they've been ship-teased at times, the show ultimately leaves them as really good friends.
*One early design for SpongeBob gave him a green baseball cap, seen at the end of "Home Sweet Pineapple".
*The line from the episode "Something Smells", "Once upon a time, there was an ugly barnacle. He was so ugly that everyone died! The end." became a popular internet meme in 2013.
*Squidward originally had eight legs, but the animators thought it made him look too burdened, and that he was harder to animate, so they cut them down to six.
*The name of the Krabby Patty was originally going to be the Barnacle Burger, and the Krusty Krab was originally the Crusty Crab.
*At one point, Rob Paulsen auditioned for the voice of SpongeBob. Jess Harnell and Mr. Lawrence (as mentioned above) auditioned as well.
*In 2021, the episode "Mid-Life Crustacean" was removed from Paramount+ because of the infamous panty raid scene. The episode "Kwarantined Krab" was also removed from Paramount+ and put on hold from airing in the US due to its plot being unintentionally similar to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic. Nick does plan to air "Kwarantined Krab" when the COVID-19 Pandemic is no longer a concern, though many fans believe that the will be released before the COVID-19 Pandemic ends and before 2030. But it was finally released in the US on April 29, 2022.
*Patrick Star has his show called “The Patrick Star Show” and you can watch the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmQ1yWkqpPI first episode here.]
*''[[Minecraft]]'' once made a caption on the main menu saying "Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?" which was made to reference this show.
*It is the first Nickelodeon cartoon to reach its eleventh season.
*The series is very popular in Germany where it's known as ''SpongeBob Schwammkopf'', which may explain David Hasselhoff's appearance in The Movie. It also arguably has the best dub out of all the countries. The series is so popular in Germany that there are multiple SpongeBob SquarePants albums (14 as of 2021) containing original/cover songs that are exclusive in Germany and are sang by the characters. The series even has its music channel called "MusikSpongeBob" on YouTube, and a website dedicated entirely to these albums released annually. Even popular German singers and musicians (such as Markus Becker, MC Fitti, and Roland Kaiser) are heard singing alongside ''SpongeBob''.
*''SpongeBob'' has a large cult following in Japan among not just children, but young women as well, who find him cute, cool, and unique. Yeah, the kids love their SpongeBob over there; that is for sure.
**The show is still popular to this day with its current airings on Kids Station. There was even a SpongeBob restaurant that opened up in Tokyo which sold exclusive food and merchandise.
*SpongeBob is quite popular in China, especially with adults. It had a fairly decent dub that airs on CCTV-14.
*''SpongeBob'' is one of the most popular cartoons in Mexico (despite the dub being made primarily in Venezuela). There, ''The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water'' topped the box office for two weeks in a row. Also, while ''SpongeBob'' merchandise isn't as common as it used to be in the United States, the merchandise is everywhere in Mexico. And when show creator Stephen Hillenburg died, the Spanish tag for ''SpongeBob'' was the third most popular tag of the day on Twitter, which also happened when the show turned 20. The 20th-anniversary campaign that happened in North America also happened in Mexico, with promotions not happening in the US being tied to it, like these donuts. The third film ''The Spongebob Movie Sponge On The Run'' even gained an original song called "Agua" by Tainy and J Balvin which was performed entirely in Spanish with two English lyrics as a response to ''SpongeBob'' 's popularity in Mexico.
*On January 13, 2023, <nowiki>''</nowiki>SpongeBob SquarePants<nowiki>''</nowiki> got its very first crossover as it crossovers with its two spin-off shows <nowiki>''</nowiki>Kamp Koral: SpogneBob's Under Years,<nowiki>''</nowiki> and <nowiki>''</nowiki>The Patrick Star Show.<nowiki>''</nowiki>
*Between 2007 and 2013, ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' dominated Nickelodeon as episodes aired very frequently and took up a majority of the schedule, just because it was pulling in better ratings than other shows, albeit to a much lesser extent as with Cartoon Network's over-airing of ''[[Teen Titans Go!]]'' between 2014-2017. In 2012, however, the series' ratings began dipping significantly, mainly due to a variety of reasons such as the series' declining quality, the rise of internet streaming, or the network's over-saturation of ''SpongeBob SquarePants''. As of 2015, the network now reduces the excessive number of airtime for ''SpongeBob SquarePants'', to return diversity to the schedule. However SpongeBob marathons still air on Nickelodeon once in a while, but it's not as frequent as before.
**During this period, it is alleged that Nickelodeon created an unwritten policy stating that any new Nicktoons had to ''IMMEDIATELY'' match or beat the average ratings for ''SpongeBob'', or it would be deemed a failure and burned off on the Nicktoons channel. Shows such as ''Robot & Monster, TUFF Puppy, Harvey Beaks'', and ''It's Pony!'' were all well-received critically, but didn't get the ratings Nickelodeon desired. In one infamous example, ''Making Fiends'' was never even given a chance by Nickelodeon and was unceremoniously punted to Nicktoons, which treated the series as best it could with the material it had (21 segments spread across six half-hour episodes) and even became the network's highest-rated series before Nickelodeon pulled the plug because, as TheMysteriousMrEnter said, it "wasn't ''SpongeBob'', at a time when Nickelodeon only wanted ''SpongeBob'' and tolerated ''[[The Fairly OddParents (seasons 9 & 10)|The Fairly OddParents]]'').
*Casey Alexander and Zeus Cervas, who previously worked as storyboard artists in the show's earlier seasons, serve as the main screenwriters of these seasons, as they wrote the majority of episodes of these seasons.
*One of the writers of these seasons, Richard Pursel, wrote some of the most infamous episodes of these seasons such as "[[A Pal for Gary (SpongeBob SquarePants)|A Pal for Gary]]" and many Squidward torture episodes such as "[[Cephalopod Lodge (SpongeBob SquarePants)|Cephalopod Lodge]]" and "[[Choir Boys (SpongeBob SquarePants)|Choir Boys]]" for example, previously worked on the infamous ''[[Ren & Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon"]]'' before working on this show.
**'He returned to work on this show as a writer in 2021.
*The 5th season ended on the day that the 7th season started, which is the only season to end during a season premiere.
*C.H. Greenblatt the writer of this show is also the writer of [[The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy]], and also starred as Fred Fredburger in the last two seasons.
*This show had the most episodes page out of all shows on the entire wiki, with more than 100+ of them, it is one of the only show to get this much episodes pages along with ''Teen Titans Go!''
==Recommended Tips for newcomers to the series==
#If you're a newcomer to the show, the best recommendation for you is that you start watching the series from the beginning at the episode "Help Wanted" where SpongeBob gets his job at the Krusty Krab.
#You can always save the bad episodes and bad seasons for later when watching seasons 1-4 and 9-present.
#You can use the show's own Fandom site, Encyclopedia SpongeBobia, to do research on info on the series and its episodes whenever you haven't watched any of the newer seasons.

==Usage==
You can optionally dedicate an article to pay respect to someone who was involved with the media the article is talking about. It's suggested to only add this to good media to prevent an article from potentially being respectful to someone and then suddenly bashing on their work. A show/hide feature is also available for those who are still too upset to comprehend someone's death and want to avoid thinking about it or being reminded of it. Keep in mind that there is currently no function to hide dedications by default.
